"You're a person of interest in this shit. I've got my reasons to tag along. While your friend right there may be strong and skilled, I can tell you two seriously need someone to keep things on the ball." Diamond gives a smug smirk, which quickly fades to a thoughtful melancholy as they glance out the window. "...and maybe in the process I might find somebody that'll be willing to carry on with my work when my mortal limitations finally catch up with me."

HAZEL blinks back awake groggily. "So, what's your master plan, detective?"

Diamond's smug look returns, the lofty title taking their mind off of their mortality. "I think the best thing to do is to take the gym leader tour in this region. It'll give us a good cover, a good reason to keep moving, and it'll give some much needed training opportunities to be able to take on Team Abyssal when we find them." Diamond takes out their phone. "The gym leader in this town is supposed to be used to noob trainers, since its so close to the trainer's school or some shit." They scroll a little bit. "...these comments aren't sure if its a bug type gym, a grass type gym, or a dark type gym. What the fuck. These things are usually the most obvious thing about a pokemon gym."

"Maybe it's like those guys who used to run a gym in Unova?" HAZEL opines, scratching the back of her head.

"Maybe, maybe not. At least I should have most types covered between Slope, Sunburst, and Pory." Nick checks their ultradex for a refresher on their pokemon team's stats. Slope is level 30, Sunburst is level 20, and Pory... is level 5. They'll probably be fine. "And yeah, that was pretty much the plan already. I've been wanting to go on a pokemon journey since I was old enough to understand the concept of one."
Eventually, breakfast arrives. Nick did manage to get that waffle + egg + sausage combo plate after all. "Time to dig in!"

Diamond looks upon their order. A triple stack of pancakes. Simple and to the point. They pour some syrup upon it and begin eating. They forgot just how hungry they were from hours of riding on Charon's back.
"That's promising at least. After breakfast, we're going to the nearest route to get your pokemon ready for the gym." Diamond speaks between bites. Does anyone ever look after this kid? Then again, they do look somewhat older than their age, but perhaps that's just their complexion. They certainly have the physical build of a teenager, but perhaps one that's been through far too much stress for their days.

"Sounds good to me!" Nick checks their phone for a moment, connecting to the memos to relay some information back to their old friends. Unfortunately, it wound up being a night two months forward, so very few people actually said much to them. After a little while of that, Nick starts eating.
