[Now that he's not training his Pokemon to exhaustion, Silver's in the market for some new hobbies. A guy's gotta have more to do than waiting for his team to wanna train, after all! So he's walking around town, looking at a list he made: reading, possibly taking art lessons from Jeb, learning to cook (only if absolutely desperate). Yeah, it's pretty small...maybe he should've asked around for some ideas.

Oh, well. Maybe he'll get some from walking around. He's in a fairly good mood today, so if anyone approached they might get actual conversation!]

[Silver nods.]

Any other authors you like? I mean, in case I decide to check out other stuff. [Reading sounds like it's going to be a very time-consuming hobby.]

From:

mysicksadlife

That list might take awhile.

If I limit it to authors you might like...

[Let's see, sports and adventure, with a side of animals loyal to their trainer and a dash of survival?]

Jack London.

From:

tsunsandsteals

London, huh. What's he written? [oh man he feels like such a big dork right now you don't even know]

From:

mysicksadlife

[Daria, on the other hand, for once feels right at home.]

He was pretty prolific. But his famous ones were Call of the Wild, and White Fang.

From:

tsunsandsteals

Those titles sound pretty cool. Nice and tough.

From:

mysicksadlife

They're pretty tough, alright. They're both survival stories up in the Yukon. They're about sled dogs, and a part-wild wolf that becomes one.

[They're pretty grim as a result, but Silver might not mind that.]

From:

tsunsandsteals

Heh, nice! Maybe I'll pick those up, then.

...what's the Yukon, though? Is that like Snowpoint City in Sinnoh?

From:

mysicksadlife

I wouldn't know, but it sounds like it might be. It's pretty far north, so it's frozen or under snow pretty much all the time.

From:

tsunsandsteals

Sounds cool. Kind of like Mt. Silver where I live. ...it's not named for me. I mean, I'm not named for it. [Silver might not even be his real name...at least, it's not something a sensible parent would name their kid. Then again, his dad isn't sensible. And he's a jerk.]

From:

mysicksadlife

It probably got the name from the snow and the ice.

From:

tsunsandsteals

...yeah, that makes sense! [Duh, Silver, why wouldn't it?] Or the gray rocks and such.

From:

mysicksadlife

Probably. But it'd be cooler to say it was named for you. [She can't help a - very small - smirk.]

(ooc: and a heads-up to here if she'd say hi)

From:

tsunsandsteals

I've thought of that. Only the strongest trainers can go there, and if it's named for me, that clearly makes me one of the strongest!

From:

mysicksadlife

Only the strongest, huh? Sounds like you've found the right place to test yourself if that's your thing.

From:

tsunsandsteals

Yeah...maybe someday. I....still have kind of a ways to go. [It still bugs him to admit it]

From:

mysicksadlife

[Daria catches some of that mood, but honestly she has a different perspective.]

So what? Taking steps towards it is still going in the right direction.

From:

tsunsandsteals

...yeah, I know. [if he ever battles Lance again, he WILL win] If I ever get back home, anyway.

From:

mysicksadlife

I figure as long as we don't roll over and play dead, 'getting home' has to happen eventually.

From:

tsunsandsteals

It better. ...not that I'm homesick or missing anyone!

From:

mysicksadlife

Neither am I. [It's about as true as Silver saying it was.]

From:

tsunsandsteals

...and this place kinda does have its perks, I guess. But it's the whole not everyone being a Pokemon trainer thing that I'm not adjusting to. And the wings.
