[Looks like Leon's hit the road again. The video shows him with sitting down with his back leaning back on a tree, as he practices a few simple chords on the guitar. It...looks like there's some improvement since his last video; at least he can play the simplest chord progression without error.

He strums the guitar idly, almost seemingly lost in thought before he turns to the gear and properly addresses it.]

Well it's been a great week. And by great, I mean fucking terrible. A friend woke up from one of those comas and went completely nuts because his brother died back home, and of course I had to suggest to him that he should go hang out with said brother to feel better because I didn't know what had happened. And then I pissed off the heir to the biggest and most dangerous yakuza families from my home. He's probably searching for me right now so if you see my body floatin' in the river you'll know why.

I also got fired from work 'cause I yelled at a customer but I was jus' so wound up from everythin' that happened that I jus' didn't have any fucks left to give, so if you're the one I yelled at then sorry, but you really have no business bein' a Pokemon trainer if you can't tell the difference between an Antidote and a Burn Heal. Damn things are already colour-coded, and there's a no refund policy so don't come crying to me.

So yeah. All in all it's been shit. Real shit. Just can't catch a break, can I?

Anyway, if you're watchin' this and if you're not too bored or busy...tell me somethin' funny. Or somethin' interestin'. Somethin' that makes you happy. I don't care, just...somethin' that'll be a break from this fuckin' week 'cause I am just done.

[Leon's just about to switch off the Gear, when he suddenly remembers.]

Oh yeah to everyone back at the house, sorry I forgot to leave a note but I'm leavin' for a few days, maybe weeks. Lemme know if ya need me for anythin', but other wise I'm gonna go an' grab some badges. Might be back by March. Will let you know.

Urgh, I really didn't need that mental image old man. Bleargh.

Anyway I don't think it really matters. S'least they do their best to look out for us.

Yo, I'm on the way to Azalea. I never got round to gettin' that Bug badge, so might as well try now. How about you?

A Gengar that sings opera? You gotta be kiddin' me! Aren't Gengar supposed to be doin' the hauntin' thing? Unless your friend's Gengar used to haunt an opera house, maybe all that singin' rubbed off on'im.

You should try recordin' him an' puttin' it on the net. I don't like opera but it'd be somethin' interestin' to see, I guess.

Saffron, hence to Goldenrod tonight.

Hey, that's a good theory, I've never asked Aku what he did before meeting Yusuke. He could have been in the Kimono Girls' theater for all I know.

I think I'll ask him for a special show to record, he does like serenading women of all types.

[lieutenantantichrist]

[Blake cackles.] You're welcome.

"Their best" ain't much. What kind of criminals do you think a slap on the wrist and community service is gonna keep down? The real son of bitches don't stop til they're locked up or dead.

[struck_out]

Fuck you.

[There's not much venom in Leon's tone; he sounds less angry and rude, and just more disgusted.]

Well if ya think about it, this whole place used to be a kid's game. What kinda punishments do you think they'd have?

[struck_out]

Did ya take on any of the Kanto gym leaders? I might head over there once I'm done in Johto. At the rate I'm going I'm gonna have a few level 100s by the time I get there, so it should be a snap to take care of'em.

[struck_out]

So he sings opera for the ladies? We got ourselves a player here! Think he's managed to, heh, get some eggs outta the ladies he's sung to?

[beholdmydemons]

[Flashes the Rainbow Badge.]

A master of plant Pokemon, in Celadon. The battle'd hardly begun before it was over! [He puts the Badge back in his pocket.] It's the one that teaches Pokemon to carry a person through the air.

[styxiedust]

Haha, well, I am a Breeder so I can attest to the fact that he has at least once out of my Mismagius. Sadly, Aku's habit of not sticking to his own species with his serenades hasn't gifted him with more offspring. [That last part was a joke, they've actually been monitoring the Pokemon in their party so accidental eggs don't happen again.]

I think, in all seriousness, he's a little shy too about his singing, he's never done a public performance before. Heck, only our group even knows about it or has heard it.

[Dirk's not much for the cheering type, but he sat and listened to the whole debacle, he may as well say something.]

...Nice guitar. How long have you been playing?

[lieutenantantichrist]

Watch your damn mouth.

It was made for kids, but they're sure as hell not the only ones here now. Of course assholes are gonna abuse it, it's what assholes do. They're lucky they've never had a serial killer running around.

[struck_out]

I'll say whatever the hell I wanna say. Got a problem with that?

I don't think Nintendo would've given the Jennys guns either. That's PG13. But nothin' really bad has happened yet though, an' none of us can die so...maybe that's why no one bothered to kill anyone here. I dunno, I don't really wanna think about it...

[struck_out]

That's...oh man, is that the hot chick who uses grass Pokemon? I think her gym's all girls too right? Did ya get a real good look 'cause damn, the girls here are babes to the max.

[struck_out]

Well you should get'im to try that then! It sounds like it's his dream to be an opera singer right? And you won't accomplish your dreams by just doin' nothin'. Ya gotta go out loud an' show the world what you're made off! I think you should really get'im on the network. An' girls fall for the classic act really easily too, so he might even get fan mail an' stuff.

Thanks. Not very long, just a few months. I had a really good teacher who helped me out a lot though; before this I sounded like complete shit.

[crystalballer]

I guess you've got a point there...I don't want her to get lost. I don't think she'd ever be able to find her way back, dude!

[And that's one thing he doesn't want to have to worry about, so box it is.]

I...don't know, actually. But I'm with you on this one. At the same time though, we gotta at least give everyone a chance, right? I mean...we let Celes-chi live with us, after all.

[And even then, Celes isn't the only killer living in the house. There's risk involved all the time, basically.]

[lieutenantantichrist]

Yeah, I do. Show some fuckin' respect.

That's probably the smarter thing to do about a lot of shit around here. Don't think about it too much.

[struck_out]

I'll show some when you fuckin' earn it, old man.

No need to tell me twice. I don't wanna accidentally break the place either. This shit week aside, it's been pretty chill here. It ain't perfect but I like livin' here.

[struck_out]

I still ain't got a clue how she weaseled her way in. She still thinks she didn't do anythin' wrong to you or Ishimaru. Talk about delusional.

[styxiedust]

That's a good idea! You should always follow your dreams, especially if you have a talent like Aku does.

[Man what kind of losers are invested in the dreams of Pokemon.]

Maybe we'd run into other musical Pokemon as well!

[VIDEO] - Sorry I'm late

[diamondo]

You left? When?

[Look how much attention he's been paying to everyone else in the house. He should probably try to keep tabs on everyone else, but this whole mess with Ishimaru has made things really difficult.]

Sorry to hear 'bout everything going to shit for you, man. Maybe travelling around a bit'll help you get your mind off of it.

[He doesn't say anything about Ishimaru or what happened to his brother back home. He's not sure what to say about it. He still hasn't experienced it, after all.]

[struck_out]

Exactly! Someone who speaks my kinda language!

An' if there are other Pokemon out there, they could form a band! There's this kinda music called pop opera that my mom used to listen to back home. I think all moms listen to'em, 'cause it's all this sappy, boring emotional stuff. Still, it's kinda like opera an' it can be performed by a group of people, so maybe Aku might like that?

No worries!

[struck_out]

A day ago. Sorry if it seems like I bailed on you guys but things were gettin' a lil' crazy at the house. Thought it might be a good idea to leave before I accidentally pissed off anyone else.
