You're tired. Frankly, it's just been a very tiring day. You knew you were never a very good Pokemon trainer, but you didn't expect all the other trainers to be so much better than you were. Really seems like you just can't get a single win over anyone. Are you really just that bad? No, no, that can't be it. It's everyone else whose wrong. All these bastards with their Tyranitars and their Salamences, who do they think they are? They probably think themselves noble, but really, they're just scum. You, though? You're the real noble one. You're a proper noble type. The Queen of Galar would surely knight you if she knew how noble you were.
Still, doesn't change anything, does it? You, of all people, know how little nobility means. The unfortunate truth of the matter is, if you want to start winning fights, you'll need better Pokemon. Toxtricity and Doublade and Forretress are all well and good, but they can't go toe-to-toe with the real heavy hitters. If only you had a real brawny sort who could fill that sort of role...
Oh well. No point worrying about it. After all, it's not like you can just nip out of here and catch a new Pokemon to fill the gap in your ranks. So, you may as well just grin and bear it, and work on correcting that little flaw in your team later.
For now, you need to rendezvouz with your contact. You've been lost for so long, they finally sent someone to clue you in. In fact, they're here right now, waving that flashlight around in the darkness. You're guessing that they're looking for you, so it'd probably be a good idea to step out of the darkness, right? Seems like your monologuing time is up for now. Keep all this in the back of your mind so you can scribble it into your autobiography later. For now, it's time for business.
"It's a sick name, is what it is."
Finally, you make your dramatic entrance. You flick your lighter on-- No, hang on, try again, okay, no, just keep hitting the wheel, no, try again, hm... Still no spark, huh? Is it really out of lighter fluid? Fuck. Well, there goes the dramatic entrance, so it's time for plan B. You stride out from the gloom and into the light, unlit cigarette in your mouth, your entire body practically radiating disappointment. This is the kid you're supposed to meet? Yeah, matches the description you got over the radio. The feed was a little crackly and warbly, and it did cut out a bit, but you're sure you've got the most of it.
"Besides, you're one to talk. What kind of name is Mr Bara Joe Jeeves? Sounds like the name someone gives their Mr Mime. That's gotta be bad for your soul, innit? If I were you, mate, I'd get that shit changed ASAP."
