[Hello again, Johto. The unpleasant frowning man with the pale eyes has returned, though this time looking rather worse for wear. Those familiar with the starting BGMS should recognize the music of Cherrygrove. If, indeed, the music translates through the display. Neji wouldn't know, as his past five days have been spent on the road.

Yes.

The route that usually takes only three days at a walking speed took him five. Furthermore, he's rather beaten and weary looking. That one would be on account of his taking it upon himself to fight most of the battles himself. Instead of his meditite. It's very possible said meditite only gained one level the entire week of battles.

Neither of those particularly concern him, however. He's actually turned on the device to inquire toward healing facilities for humans rather than pokemon (the pokemon of the duo can be seen to be quite healthy, although mildly concerned for those capable of reading the pokemon's expression).

This request, however, is sidetracked when he recognizes the song has changed. After five days of the same one, he'd gotten rather good at ignoring it--even used to it--this one, however...is more annoying.

He scowls and glances up into the sky--as if searching for the source of the music.]

Oh must it have gotten worse?

Oh my gosh, are you feeling alright? You look exhausted! [LET YOUR POKEMON FIGHT, WHY ARE PEOPLE LIKE THIS. Also she's heard the music for so long that it's hardly a thing to her anymore.]

[Video] Not sure if I should be sorry...

[Oh for the love of--

Tenten had told him Neji would be there, but for him to look so...

This is the Hyuuga clan's genius? This is one of the guys he wanted to fight during the Chuunin Exams? Even Naruto wasn't stupid enough to have done what Neji apparently did. Maybe he was just that stubborn and proud. Either way, it just seemed stupid. Not going to mention that he spars with his pokémon regularly, but he's not about to take on the wild ones when he doesn't have any chakra thank you very much.

After watching Neji crawling into town he just sighs and turns on the video. True, he had seen Neji in passing on the route and hadn't spoken to him (though mostly due to being with his big brother), but he might as well at least try to make sure Neji isn't going to get himself killed.]

You're better off letting your pokémon do the fighting. You can spar with it if you need to as it gets stronger, but it won't get any stronger if it doesn't fight others like it. They're like animal summons.

[Excuse him a moment, Neji, he can't help but snicker a little bit at his misfortune. He remembers what it was like to be new in this place, though he mostly managed to ignore the music.

Though he's resting calmly against a tree, his two Buneary sleeping with their heads on each side of his lap.]

It gets worse from here, if you are getting annoyed at the music of all things. [A light, chipper tone, very much playful.]

[...yes, that was roughly how Kayneth felt upon reaching Cherrygrove, so he won't comment on the young man's appearance. Instead, he'll comment on that other thing...]

Unfortunately, yes. Be prepared to hear some different awful din every time you visit a new area, because it's never going to stop.
