[With Rocket Training done and over with, it's time for Rude to start his own journey. He's a bit tired of the Goldenrod BGM and admittedly slightly curious about what else is in store for him out there in the Pokemon world. But most importantly, he's looking for adventure and action, and hanging around in one town isn't going to cut it.

Picking a destination wasn't hard; just start where everyone else was starting. Easier prey and he doesn't have to fudge any more details about the place to everyone who's been asking about his journey.]

I'm going to New Bark Town. Anyone interested?

What are some good Pokemon to capture?

For Battling purposes.

Good plan.

A little, but I've been here long enough to have heard weirder, and I know someone who's alter ego is named Hulk. I'm Steve, it's nice to informally meet you.

[strongestoftheturks]

NIce to meet you too.

That's the most normal name I've heard since I've been here.]

[starspangledavenger]

There's a few others with names that are "normal" like mine, but for the most part, the names around here are pretty strange.

[strongestoftheturks]

Must be all the different worlds.

Where are you from?

[starspangledavenger]

Seem the logical conclusion.

I'm from Earth, though one with superheroes. How about yourself?

[strongestoftheturks]

The Planet.

You could say there are heroes. Not sure if they're super.

[starspangledavenger]

I wouldn't call the heroes from my world super either, but enough other people have that I'm falling into that terminology.

[strongestoftheturks]

The "save the world type", huh?

[starspangledavenger]

Well, saved the world, not sure if that's their type, but heroic none the less. [he's not down grading what they did, but none of them really hit him as that, not even himself]

[strongestoftheturks]

How bad was it? Your world was dying?

[starspangledavenger]

Not world dying, but the potential to enslave and destroy a good portion of the planet.

[strongestoftheturks]

Sounds bad. Just like dying.

So you like this place more?

[starspangledavenger]

[a planet dying is a bit weird to Steve, not something one just jumps to when saving the world in his mind, so it makes him curious] Was your planet dying?

It's hard for me to answer that, my circumstances are complicated, but this place is a good vacation from it all.

How about yourself?

[strongestoftheturks]

Yeah.

[A much simpler answer than saying "a delusional ex-super soldier decided he was going to destroy the Planet, but it turned out that either way the Planet's life force was being sucked out anyway so either way they were double doomed".]

No. But no way home, right? Make the best of it.

[The truth hurts even more when you're the one typing out the message.]

[starspangledavenger]

No way that they know of at least, but yeah, we have to make the best of it. Do you have anyone else from your world here? It made it easier to deal with.

[having Tony and Thor here was a saving grace for Steve]

[strongestoftheturks]

Yeah.

It's still not the same though.

[They're not travelling together like Turks, for one thing. And its almost like they've all got their separate paths now.

It's a scary thought.]

[starspangledavenger]

It'll never be the same, but you'll get home one day. Hopefully it'll get better for you.

[Steve wants to keep a hope that things will get better, because he hates seeing how down Tony is and how illadjusted he is to this place]

[strongestoftheturks]

Maybe.

Thanks.

For the pep talk.

[starspangledavenger]

You're welcome. I think

[strongestoftheturks]

I'll see you around then.
