[Coincidentally, Celebi fuckshit was one of Blue's theories in just what was going on here; the other was something to do with those weird holes in the sky that had started appearing over the Alolan islands lately.]

[(Stuff in other regions got weird, man.)]

My head's just fine, you sure yours is? Seem to be having a bout of Amnesia there. [Blue's humor fades away into a more familiarly sullen expression, and he rubs the back of his neck. What a pain.......] Well. I guess it'll make you feel better that those morons never made it back to Kanto. Or if they did, it wasn't enough to cause any real commotion.... They're good and done. Haven't seen hide or hair of 'em for years.

[Now a little uncomfortable, Blue adjusts the backpack strap across his chest in a subtle fidget.] And don't gossip about me. Anyway, I resigned from the Gym years ago, so you won't have to worry about that anymore. Not that I wouldn't have been able to crush 'em myself.

[It's very tempting for him to be a little bitchy here, to cover his own lingering misgivings about that whole period of his life. Lance entrusting him with the Gym was something he'd never quite felt secure in deserving, but then, at that time, he didn't really feel like he'd deserved much of anything. It'd been a long time since then, and a lot had changed, but...]

I went to school abroad for a while, and various things happened... Me and Red run the battle facility in the Alola region now, so don't worry about us. We're doin' fine.
