[Hey, here's someone who hasn't made his own post in a while. Seriously, Ironhide, you need to get on this Badge-Collecting business. You're so slow.]

[Regardless, he flicks the 'gear on as he exits Ecruteak's gym, in the process of pinning the Fog Badge to a pocket inside of his coat. ... A coat which he still manages to wear in the middle of summer. Go figure.]

[Dog the Growlithe runs around his feet, clearly pleased with herself. After a moment, he crouches -- his knees popping -- to pat her. Awkwardly.]

Cliffjumper. Got the badge. We can roll whenever you are ready.

[He pauses, regarding the 'gear thoughtfully.]

Which leader gets to challenge my team next, hmn? None of them have stood a chance, thus far.

... Oh, c'mon. He's not THAT big. She could handle it!

Kid, that dog is about as big as you are.

What? He is not!

... Most of that's fur!

_{[And fat, because she feeds him way too much.]}

Yeah, and all that fur makes him bigger than you.

It does not.

And anyway, I'm a shrimp, so your argument is invalid.

It does too.

You are not a shrimp. You are human.

_{[DULL STARE.]}

... Ironhide, you do this on purpose, don't you.

[Just. This face.]

Not sure. Do I?

[This is otherwise known as Ironhide's Troll Face.]

_{[She takes a moment to squint very hard at said face.]}

... Yes.

Yes, you do.

[His expression lightens a little. It's just shy of a smirk.]

You sure about that?

Absolutely dead-certain positive.

If you are positive... what can I say?

Nothing that'll convince me, that's for sure.

Then I had best stop wasting time, and get a move on, hmn?

Might not be a bad idea.

Where are you guys headed next?

Next gym. The one by the ocean.

[It's called Olivine, Ironhide.]

Oh! Olivine.

_{[Heather likes Olivine. She's got a lot of good memories in that city. ... And a few bad ones, but c'est la vie.]}

Yeah, that would be the one.

Should not be a problem.

You're just in time to catch the last few summer sunsets, too.

I swear, that place has the best sunsets ever.

_{[She's sort of sad that she didn't catch many there this year... but eh.]}
