Fourth Rhapsody [Audio]

[melodicnocturne]

So...Hey, Johto. Does anybody know if the Gym in Violet is still closed? I know that there was a big incident and some pokémon were stolen a little while back. Assuming it is, where's the next place a guy can get the badge from? Been thinkin' about going to get my badges, bein' able to Fly would be a nice start.



Hey, are you guys still doing the Kanto tour with Riku? I might be headed up there for a bit soon, dunno if the Gym's still closed and I kinda need to get my Flight badge so I can do the whole 'traveling in style' bit, y'know?

Oh. Uhh...so, I'm...kinda new at the whole Christmas bit...uhh. D'you guys, like, get the stuff I sent? If you did, I hope you liked what was in the cards. Let me know if you guys have had anyone play them, if not I'll send you a recording I made, too.

Your best bet's to swing by Celadon and take out Erika.

And if you're after the HM, you might as well hit Saffron for good measure and deal with Sabrina.

You guys are up in Kanto, right? If I took the magnet line up there, it'd be easy enough to knock those two out...Probably.

We won't be for long. We've got business to take care of back in Johto, and I've got no idea how long that'll take.

You don't get fly from him just the right to use it. It's like your pass to flapville, party of one you. Pretty sure he's still missing his dad's pokes. Head over to Saffron and take on Sabrina. Same deal just with different odds.

[melodicnocturne]

...Eh? No, I know that...did I say that weird? I know what the badge does, I just want to know where I can get it. Like, I don't have either the badge or the HM to use Fly. This is me, stuck on the ground, no Fly or the badge that gives me an all-expense-paid trip wit Air Demyx.

Tryin' to, y'know, fix that.

[moveslikestrider]

Nah, I just heard you wrong. Like I said, Erika lets you use it. Then All Call Air Demyx will be good to go. Along the way you can train up so when you hit the dance floor you're cutting some slick moves and earning your wings will be a snap.

[melodicnocturne]

Awesome! One quick trip down the Magnet Line and I am all over those bad boys. Aww, yeah!

...Might need to. Any clue what those two are packin'?

[moveslikestrider]

Sabrina is all psychics far as I know. Erika...is this traditionist if I remember right with grass types. I’m not sure so check around, but I think you get the right to use cut from her.

[melodicnocturne]

...Do people actually use cut? I don't think I've ever even heard people talk about using cut on the network...

[moveslikestrider]

...I have no idea. I’m interested in fly and surf.

[melodicnocturne]

Same here. It'll be a lot easier gettin' around once I got those under my belt. You got plans after you snatch them up?

[moveslikestrider]

Yeah, I'm going to get my hands on all the dragon pokemon. Maybe start collecting fire types too. What about you? What's your plans?

[melodicnocturne]

Prob'ly gunna keep doin' what I do, travelin' musician gig. Wander around, find inspirin' places, play music, get money. Rinse and repeat.

[moveslikestrider]

Sounds like an awesome deal. What’s your instrument? Or do you sing?

[melodicnocturne]

Both, I'm a guitarist. Played a sitar before I came here but apparently it's a whole lot easier gettin' your hands on a guitar. Same difference, though.

Say, this might be a weird question but...have I met you before? You seem familiar. Did you have a brother here or somethin'?

[moveslikestrider]

You might have. There’s been four incarnations of me that rolled through before I did. Chances that you know the name Dave Strider are high, bro.

[melodicnocturne]

Dave Strider, I...think I met a relative then. Called himself Bro Strider, it was a little while back an' I haven't seen him since. Think I might'a talked to you once or twice, too. Either way, name's Demyx. Nice t'meet ya, Dave.

[moveslikestrider]

Yeah, that's my brother. [Dad.] He's back if you want to talk to him again.

[melodicnocturne]

He is? Oh...I should find him, then. He seems like a cool guy.

[moveslikestrider]

Simply the coolest, but yeah hit him up.

[heartdive]

For a beginner I think you did just fine.

[melodicnocturne]

Eheh, thanks... I wasn't sure what to get you. Glad you liked it. I hope Kairi likes her gifts as well.

[heartdive]

I've never known Kairi to NOT like a gift from someone.
