SURVEY #1
"What is your favorite way to travel?"

"I'm not gonna lie, I kinda enjoy seafaring..."

SURVEY #2
"What have been your missed opportunities in life so far?"

"Bit unfair to ask something with endless answers, isn't it? There's no use dwelling on it, anyways. Better to make the most of what you've chosen for yourself."

SURVEY #3
"What’s the best and worst relationship advice you've ever received or given?"

"Can only recall the worst, but, uh... That the worst they could say was, 'No.' They said, 'Ew,' instead. It was a joke, but still. Ow."

SURVEY #4
"Is the person you are now, the person you wanted to be when you were younger?"

"I'd say pretty close, yeah."

SURVEY #5
"Have you told your loved ones that you care about them recently? If not, why?"

"Yes. I won't make the mistake of not doing it again."

SURVEY #6
"What is your go to karaoke song?"

"God, we talking while sober or blackout drunk?"[break]
(author's note: "total eclipse of the heart" by bonnie taylor, but exclusively when shitfaced)

SURVEY #7
"How have your parents shaped you? For better or for worse."

"Well enough, I'd say. ...There was the pressure of expectation, but I think it was well-intended."

SURVEY #8
"What would you say to a deceased member of your Pokemon team if you had the opportunity?"

"...Thankfully, I don't need the opportunity. Hasn't happened."

SURVEY #9
"What do you think about when you're alone?"

"...What could possibly be missing. The emptiness. The reason for the emptiness. Why it persists, and why I'm so haunted by it."

SURVEY #10
"Tell me about a time when you truly felt safe?"

"Childhood. Couldn't exactly give you a proper explanation; it's just the first thing that came to mind."

SURVEY #11
"Would you save our universe, even if it meant that all other universes would be destroyed?"

"It's...a complicated thing. If there was a way to make sure everyone broke even, I'd do everything I could to make that a reality. Otherwise, I guess my home—this world—takes precedence over anything else. ...It's a depressing thought, honestly."

SURVEY #12
"Gut check: do you expect people to act in their own self-interest or in the interest of others?"

"Self-interest. I hate to say it, but that's just the reality of it. Whether or not it's for good or bad intent, though, is up to the eye of the beholder."

SURVEY #13
"If someone really wanted to hurt you right now, what should they do?"

"...Now give me one good reason why I'd admit that, anonymous or not?"

SURVEY #14
"Do you believe in the afterlife?"

"Absolutely. There's a lot of things that can't really be explained, otherwise. Whether or not I feel like there should be one, though... Well, that's just a lot of nuances that I can't really fit in this little survey."

SURVEY #15
"What would the apocalypse look like or feel like for you?"

"Emptiness. Eradication. Loneliness."

SURVEY #2
"What have been your missed opportunities in life so far?"

"Bold of you to assume they were missed."

SURVEY #3
"What’s the best and worst relationship advice you've ever received or given?"

"Also bold of you to assume I took any of it seriously. It's a bit of a waste of time with more important things to take care of, ain't it?"

SURVEY #4
"Is the person you are now, the person you wanted to be when you were younger?"

"No, but I'm who I had to become. Younger me knew what would happen, and that's why I know he'd understand. It is what it is."

SURVEY #5
"Have you told your loved ones that you care about them recently? If not, why?"

"Ha."

SURVEY #6
"What is your go to karaoke song?"

SURVEY #10
"Tell me about a time when you truly felt safe?"

"Funny."

SURVEY #11
"Would you save our universe, even if it meant that all other universes would be destroyed?"

"It's all down in shit either way, isn't it? If this world lives to see another day, sure. Great. In the end, though, this is my life, and I'll do and side with whoever I need to if it means saving it."

SURVEY #12
"Gut check: do you expect people to act in their own self-interest or in the interest of others?"

"Self-interest. You're lying to yourself and everyone around you if you're not. Everyone's inherently selfish. Everyone's inherently full of shit."

SURVEY #13
"If someone really wanted to hurt you right now, what should they do?"

"They'd be six feet under before they had the chance to finish the job."

SURVEY #14
"Do you believe in the afterlife?"

"No. Deus ex machina as fate intends, maybe, but not the afterlife."

SURVEY #15
"What would the apocalypse look like or feel like for you?"

"Powerless."

"Ugh, man. I know it's not travel, technically, but I love me a good wave or two. I guess walking, though, if you wanna be boring."

SURVEY #2

”Dunno, honestly. I don't feel like I've missed anything. Maybe could've gone down another path, but y'know..."

SURVEY #3

SURVEY #6
"What is your go to karaoke song?"

"Ugh, God, there's so many? I guess 'Jericho' is pretty high up there, though."

SURVEY #7
"How have your parents shaped you? For better or for worse."

”Well. Extremely well. They're the reason why I've made it this far, why I have the views I have today, and their support meant the world to me growing up. I'd do anything for them."

SURVEY #8
"What would you say to a deceased member of your Pokemon team if you had the opportunity?"

"When the sun rises, and when the moon sets, I will follow your memory. Rest well, my friend."

SURVEY #9
"What do you think about when you're alone?"

"Everything, really. My choices. Where I am. It's all really complicated, honestly. I'm content with how far I've come, but...sometimes I really do wonder if it was worth it. If this was worth it."

SURVEY #10
"Tell me about a time when you truly felt safe?"

"Childhood. With my family. The memories are there, but I'm honestly scared about forgetting their voices, by this point."

SURVEY #11
"Would you save our universe, even if it meant that all other universes would be destroyed?"

"Yes. Without a doubt, yes. It's not exactly the ideal I'd want, but it's a dog eat dog world, isn't it? ...Or world eat world. Universe eat universe? You get the point."

SURVEY #12
"Gut check: do you expect people to act in their own self-interest or in the interest of others?"

"Depends, really, doesn't it? There's a lot of things that influence what a person does, and why they do it— and even then, there's always a story behind purpose."

SURVEY #13
"If someone really wanted to hurt you right now, what should they do?"

"They'd take away everything I care about. Simple, really. It's why I live the way I do— so they're not caught in the crossfire."

SURVEY #14
"Do you believe in the afterlife?"

"Absolutely. Everyone's entitled to their opinions, but me? Yeah, there's no way you could convince me otherwise."

SURVEY #15
"What would the apocalypse look like or feel like for you?"

"The loss of everything I know and love."

ANSWERED IN-CHARACTER & ANONYMOUSLY

1. What is your favorite way to travel?
“Boats are pretty cool! Been on a few ferries in my day, and I always find hangin' out on deck to be real comfy if the weather's nice.”

2. What have been your missed opportunities in life so far?
“That's a helluva question, isn't it? I... shit, I guess maybe not takin' school more seriously when I was a kid? Didn't do so great, missed out on the chance to do somethin' better with my life once I graduated. But hey, I'm tryin' ta turn that around some these days, so it ain't all bad.”

3. What's the best and worst relationship advice you've ever received or given?
“Folks don't typically come ta me for that kinda advice, but I'm gonna give it to you anyway. If you love someone, or just got feelin's for 'em, you fuckin' tell them, right here, right now. I don't fuckin' care if ya gotta call 'em up outta nowhere, or if yer scared'a gettin' hurt, you get that shit out in the open as soon as you fuckin' can. If ya just sit and let that shit fester, it's gonna make you god damn miserable, and even if they turn ya down, ya at least get to rip that god damn bandaid off an' move on. That's prolly the best advice I could give anyone.

Oh, and as for worst advice, a guy I used to work with once tried ta convince me that girls like it if yer real mean to 'em. Think he called it 'negging', or somethin' like that? Dumbest fuckin' thing I'd ever heard.”

4. Is the person you are now, the person you wanted to be when you were younger?
“Nah. Hurts to admit it, to be honest. But hey, that's life.”

5. Have you told your loved ones that you care about them recently? If not, why?
“The hell's up with all the sad questions?! I mean, I guess I kinda have, dependin' on your definition of 'recent'; I try to call up my mom every couple'a weeks ta let her know how I'm doin', and I always tell her I love her, 'cause you can never say that kinda thing too much ta someone you care about. But I should probably try and track down my brothers an' tell 'em the same. I just hate buggin' 'em when they're off livin' their own lives, yanno?”

6. What is your go-to karaoke song?
“Now this question I like! Man, lemme think, it's been years since I've been... oh! There's this one peppy track called Hau'oli City Lights that's a fun little number, and Judgement is a real good song if ya wanna drag a buddy up on stage with ya. But there's this one tune that I've been practicin' at home called Machine Gun Kiss that's a fuckin' blast to belt out! Man, I oughta hit up a place sometime soon so I can just cut loose for a bit; ya got any recommendations?”

7. How have your parents shaped you? For better or for worse.
“Both a'them are real salt of the earth people; I think the biggest things I learned from them were how ta work hard and do right by people. Dad's kind of a hardass, though, so I'm sure that explains a couple'a things about me, but mom did teach me how ta keep a house and feed myself. Funny, she used to always tell me that I was never gonna land a wife if I couldn't look after myself first but, uh... yeah, here I am now, 'maidenless', as the kids these days say. Could still cook ya a mean omelet, though!”

8. What would you say to a deceased member of your Pokemon team if you had the opportunity?
“I- uh- what? I uh, hadn't thought about that one, 'cause I haven't lost any of my buddies like that. That's a hell of a thing to think about though... I guess I'd tell 'em that I love 'em, and that I'm proud'a them, 'cause I am. But, I really don't wanna have to think about that, though- can we just move on ta the next question?”

9. What do you think about when you're alone?
“Hey, uh, just ta double-check, you said all of this was anonymous, right? No one's gonna be lookin' at this and know it was me specifically tellin' ya all this? Not gonna post it online or somethin' ta make me look like a big fuckin' idiot?
…

Really? Cool, cool.

Then I, uh... I guess the biggest thing I think about is all the stuff I fucked up when I was younger. How I probably wouldn't be in Rustboro these days if I just woulda done some stuff different way back when. That I probably wouldn't be alone in Rustboro if I woulda done stuff different way back when. And sometimes, I think about how I'm prolly gonna die alone, and how ain't no one gonna find me but the landlady when the rent doesn't show up one'a these days. I mean, it ain't the sorta thing I think about all the time, but it's the sorta thing that creeps up on ya when ya don't got nothin' else to preoccupy your mind. So these days I just try and find stuff to do to keep my mind from goin' there; goin' to the gym, playin' some old games, that type'a thing.”

10. Tell me about a time when you truly felt safe?
“I remember there was this one time when I was little and we had this real bad storm back home. Took out the power for three days, but the worst part was the night it happened; all the thunder and lightenin' just scared the hell outta me. But my big brother, Miguel, he came in and made us a blanket fort in the livin' room, and he got this big picture book I used ta like and read it to me with just this dinky old flashlight to see by. I had been damn near inconsolable up 'til then, and there hadn't been a thing my mom or dad could do ta make me feel better, but my brother made me feel like everything was gonna be okay. And it was! The next day we went out and played out in the mud, which pissed my mom ta all hell, hah! Miguel's good people, and still is to this day.”

11. Would you save our universe, even if it meant that all other universes would be destroyed?
“Yeesh, I don't know if I could make that kinda decision. None of the people in our universe deserve ta die, but hell, none of all the other people in all'a the other universes should hafta go out like that, either. But do the other universes even have people in 'em? What if there's universes where it's just all Pokemon? But shit, that don't make it right either... ARGH! This is givin' me a fuckin' headache! Next question!”

12. Gut check; do you expect people to act in their own self-interest or in the interest of others?
“Shit, that's another hard one... If I'll be honest, sometimes I try an' convince myself that it's the second one, even when I really oughta know better. I just wanna believe that people are good at heart, yanno? And hell, I know there's a lotta shit folks out there, but that doesn't mean I gotta let that make me think the worst of everyone. So, uh, I'm just gonna go with the second one, even if that kinda thinkin' tends ta bite me in the ass every now and again.”

13. If someone really wanted to hurt you right now, what should they do?
“Get real close to my heart and find a way to break it, which probably ain't all that hard now that I think about it. But hey, if they do that, then I'm breakin' their fuckin' legs, so don't even think about it!”

14. Do you believe in the afterlife?
“I want to, but I dunno. I try not ta think about that sorta thing too hard.”

15. What would the apocalypse look and feel like for you?
“Huh, probably like the movies, I guess? Fire, brimstone, probably zombies or somethin' like that in there. Just the total collapse of the civilized world, I guess. But hey, maybe it wouldn't be all bad; 'life finds a way', an' all that, and people are a helluva a lot more resilient than they give themselves credit for.”

16. Suggestions for future questions!
“How do you like your steak?”

SPOILER: Click to show

SURVEY #1, "What is your favorite way to travel?"

I've found traveling by helicopter or the back of a pokemon that can fly is best.

SURVEY #2, "What have been your missed opportunities in life so far?"

Confessing my feelings to Dahlia Goode. Studying abroad in the other regions.

SURVEY #3, "What’s the best and worst relationship advice you've ever received or given?"

Neither... I work too much. I'll take any pick-up lines you got though.

SURVEY #4, "Is the person you are now, the person you wanted to be when you were younger?"

No... But I seem to believe it's still within reach. Wish me luck, will you?

SURVEY #5, "Have you told your loved ones that you care about them recently? If not, why?"

I don't have loved ones - unless pokemon count?

SURVEY #6, "What is your go to karaoke song?"

Phantogram - Black Out Days & Halsey - Be Kind

SURVEY #7, "How have your parents shaped you? For better or for worse."

I think my parents did alright, considering how little they were in the picture... But perhaps it is worse than what could've been.

SURVEY #8, "What would you say to a deceased member of your Pokemon team if you had the opportunity?"

I'm sorry I wasn't there for you like you were for me.

SURVEY #10, "Tell me about a time when you truly felt safe?"

I honestly couldn't.

SURVEY #11, "Would you save our universe, even if it meant that all other universes would be destroyed?"

I think so. It's not like I have to look in their face while I do it, right? I'm not ready to die.

SURVEY #12, "Gut check: do you expect people to act in their own self-interest or in the interest of others?"

I expect them to act in their own interest, but I wish more of us were all a little less selfish.

SURVEY #13, "If someone really wanted to hurt you right now, what should they do?"

Tear away what little I have left, and somehow make it seem like all my fault - that I deserve to lose it all.

It stands to reason...yes.

SURVEY #15, "What would the apocalypse look like or feel like for you?"

When the dust settles, you cannot recognize anything as what it once was - the world, it's people...yourself. It would be impossible for someone to imagine things ever going back to the way they were, no matter how hard they worked.
