Jotaro gives a tired sigh. However, he forces himself to smile when Jean looks back happily at him.

"You did great, Jean. Good job." The Scraggy beams proudly at Jotaro and lets Jotaro recall him to his Pokeball. With that done, Jotaro nods to Joseph.

"Good game. You're not bad for a beginner. A little experience and work with Rush, and you'll get there." Jotaro grabs a revive from his bag and offers it to Joseph.

"Use this to get Rush back up. You'll need to have a conscious Pokemon with you at all times in this world." Else you'll white out!

He is actually very thankful that Jotaro isn't rubbing the loss in - Jotaro's a better man than him, and Joseph can definitely appreciate that. He takes the revive, and his shoulders relax a bit when Rush wakes back up and immediately claws his way out of Joseph's grasp, even though it's also accompanied by a few quiet curses.

"...Thank you." He huffs quietly. "We'll definitely have to try this again later - I'll let you know when he cleans his ears out."

Rush is, at least, not hiding from him anymore. The Charmander has instead parked himself behind Joseph, making a point of not looking at Jotaro. Apparently he's taking the loss even worse.

Honestly, who would rub in a loss in the face of someone who was just learning the game? Jotaro doesn't think he's a good person but he's not that sort of asshole.

"Sure. It'll be good practice for all of us. In the meantime, learn from what happened today." And he's not just talking to Joseph. Jotaro watches Rush hurry behind Joseph but doesn't call out the sulking Charmander. He just nods.

"What's your plan now?"

[prodigaltrickster]

"I guess I'm staying with Emporio until I can get on my feet properly."

He shrugs vaguely. Joseph definitely likes to seem more prepared, but he normally has a lot more resources to improvise with. Currently, he has no plan, barely any money, and little understanding of the rules of the world past what Mom and Emporio told him.

"Once Rush and I are more in agreement, then we can travel around... and figure it out. But that's probably going to be a while."

[phdepression]

"Mm... Eventually, me and a friend will head out to go face one of the gyms. So I'll be around for a few days before heading off to Mahogany Town."

"Don't rush things - there's no hurry here for anything. That's one of the nicer things about this place." Jotaro shrugs.
