Sylvain said I needed to record something to tell you to leave a message, even though if you're bothering to message me in the first place you already know what you're supposed to do, so this is pointless. So...leave a message, I guess. Maybe I'll get back to you. Maybe I won't.

They're all good places for romantic getaways. There's also a bed and breakfast on top of Mount Moon, but I haven't been there yet. Thace and I have plans to go there this summer, though. Another thing you could do eventually--though not in time for the honeymoon--is after you beat all the Johto gyms, you can challenge Blue's Elite team in Viridian and win a free three-week cruise on the S.S. Anne.

The dancing's not so stiff and boring, usually. It's more modern sorts of ballroom dancing, if it's anything formal. Partner dances, not formal figures. And yeah, from what I know of Sylvain, it does seem like something he'd like.

(He and I are getting along better now that he's stopped being so obnoxious to people I care about. That said, I still don't regret letting Thace tease him a little after I knew I wanted to turn him down. It was *very* funny to watch him realize how much he didn't know, despite his whole Lothario act. I'm sorry, I know he's your fiance, but it *was*. Plus Thace's impression of his old teacher was pretty funny too.)

I hope you enjoy watching my matches. I managed to catch your last two while they were airing--you did very well, I thought. Once you get all of Johto's, they'll let you have a megastone--have you any thoughts for which one you'll get? If nothing else, you've got a Lucario and that's one of the ones that can mega.

But yes. Our planned little game is very ridiculous, but I'm looking forward to it. I'm not sure if I'd rather catch him or be caught, to be honest.

we've decided to go to sevii and spend most nights camping.
what is a cruise?
tbh idk why sylvain acts like that on the network.
he hasn't been that immature in years.
ha no need to apologize to me.
I'm sure he deserved it.
he showed me that conversation with thace on his gear.
it makes much more sense now in context.
turning him down was the right call
for your sake.
don't get me wrong obviously he's
more than my best friend
but when he falls back into old, terrible habits I just want to punch him.
anyway
thank you.
I'm happy with how my team is growing and getting stronger.
what does mega mean?
you should hunt each other more than once.
best out of three.
then perhaps you can have both.

That sounds like something Thace would go for. He's ridiculously into camping. (I mean, I do get it when I think about it, considering how spaceships are sealed environments and he's spent most of his adult life without much chance to get fresh air.)

A cruise is a prolonged ride on a luxury boat where it takes you to various ports for day trips. They feed you and there's lots of different activities for people to do when they're floating.

Turning him down was definitely the right call. When Thace and I got together he said that he'd be fine with me having sex with other people as long as he was there to watch (and possibly participate depending on who), but Sylvain propositioned me fairly soon after we *did* get together. Much too soon to have a third for the night.

Some pokemon have special temporary forms which can be triggered by artifacts called 'megastones.' When you get all the badges in a region they'll give you one. You can choose which one you get and trade it for another kid every three or four months or so, I think. When you trigger the megastone in battle, the pokemon will temporarily 'megaevolve' into something stronger--but it only lasts as long as the fight (I think) and then they revert back to normal.

Also, I *like* the way you think regarding our hunting game. That is definitely what we'll do. We've got three weeks of travel, after all, so that's one hunt per week.
