This is a little bit embarrassing, but how do you get used to camping outside? I need to travel some more to get to places but I always feel like I'm not really camping right. I never really did it at home, so I'm not very used to it.

[And there's the fact that he really doesn't like forests since... well. It reminds him of that place.]

What kind of tips have you all picked up on the road? I'm kind of curious.

Well it's not exactly comfortable. A lot of people seem okay with it and it's never been comfortable for me.

text

[shatterings]

Maybe... you need a more comfortable tent?

text

[grapeeater]

Maybe. I'm not used to this much wilderness being around.

text

[shatterings]

Neither am I... How long have you been here?

text

[grapeeater]

A... while. But I've been in Goldenrod for most of it.

text

[shatterings]

I haven't really spent much time in Goldenrod... Do you like it there?

text

[grapeeater]

Yes. It's the biggest city in this region, so it's the closest to being like home.

text

[shatterings]

I'd never seen such big cities until I arrived here... You're very familiar with them, then?

text

[grapeeater]

Yes. It's unusual to see small towns, unless you go out into the countryside. And even those sorts of places are disappearing as more and more people move to the cities.

text

[shatterings]

Then... do a lot of people dislike small towns?

text

[grapeeater]

I'm not sure if it's that more than there's just more opportunities in cities - better jobs, better access to services, and more people.

Re: text

Mm. That does make sense... there is much more to do in places like Celadon City. But... I think smaller towns have a cozier feel.

text

[grapeeater]

That might be true... though time seems to go a little too slowly for me in those kinds of places. Not that Zawame is as fast-paced as more major cities, but still...

text

[shatterings]

I suppose it's because there's less to do...?

Oh-- I'm Naminé.

text

[grapeeater]

That, too.

I'm Micchy. It's nice to meet you.

text

[shatterings]

But I don't think it's... bad, exactly.

Mm. It's nice to meet you, too, Micchy.

text

[grapeeater]

I guess not, but it's not what I'm used to.

text

[shatterings]

I'm glad you've found a good place to settle down in, then.

text

[grapeeater]

Me too... but I need to travel so I can get the badges I need.

text

[shatterings]

Which badges haven't you gotten?

text

[grapeeater]

I don't have any right now. I need to at least get the Zephyr Badge so I can use Fly.

text

[shatterings]

Zephyr Badge... from Violet City? Good luck.

text

[grapeeater]

I should be fine. I have a good rock type.

text

[shatterings]

Then you'll do very well, I'm sure.
