"hey Steve"

"There isn't much time only if you don't seek it, my guy."

She even paces around, as relaxed as ever.

"Especially if you're worrying too much about everything all the tiiiime.

In fact, y'know what? Instead of asking ourselves ehere to go and wonder if we would have the time, let's go to the airport and get the first plane we find. We can afford that, anyway!"

Terastilisation did sound like a fascinating phenomenon to investigate and learn more about... But likewise, he was equally as interested in Dynamaxing.

"A lot of places sound rather fun..." he sighed. Anywhere but holed up in his office at Devon seemed nice right about now. "Sometimes that feels like half the problem. So many places to see and so little time to visit them all! I've travelled almost every inch of Hoenn, and yet I still discover new things occasionally."

"Weeeeeelllllll, I've just been in Alola, but I wouldn't mind goin' back there.

I do have to beat my record for the volcano climb."

As always, she went for the oddest tourist traps and personal challenges. Sure, Mantine surfing and the Battle Tree were fun, but nobody could claim they climbed Wela's Volcano in 47 minutes and 18 seconds! Could be 46!

"But I heard that there's plenty to explore in Paldea. Something about special rocks that can change your Pokèmon Type, or something? Tera-whatever." a shrug "Sounds fun."

Oh if only finding a suitable replacement Gym Leader were that easy...

"It's not impossible, just... unlikely at the moment."

As to where they could go? There were so many places Steven wanted to explore and hadn't yet.

"You know me. I want to travel everywhere I can eventually. I haven't had the chance to properly visit Galar before, or Alola. A chance to visit Paldea outside of League work would be nice too... What about you? Where do you think we could go?"

Ah, yes. His favorite guy, skipping work just like her. Classic.

"Eh, you know. The uuuusual.

Got to see Alola lately. That's nice."

AVOIDING THE SUBJECT, BABYGIRL?

"I'm doing as well as usual I suppose. The League's still holding itself together, so all is good."

Well as usual could mean anything coming from Steven. Usually it meant 'drowning in work but taking it all in my stride,' or 'avoiding league paperwork by going searching for rocks and good battles'. Either way he gave Sapphire a small smile.

"And how about you? Everything still holding together ok?"
