... Hey, Luceti.

Is it weird if you meet someone and you don't get their name? [ He pauses, as if counting on his fingers, his voice lowering as he says, "One, two, three.." ] I mean, I've met a bunch of nice people, but I've never actually gotten their names or anything!

I kinda feel bad that I didn't get their names, though I still want to be friends with 'em! Even Pikachu agrees with me, right? [ Pikachu gives a small, nonchalant squeal, as if he doesn't really care too much about the matter.. ]

Anyway! I know there're trainers here, so does anybody want a battle? I haven't had a good one in a long while.

[ And after that journal entry, Ash will be roaming around until he ends up in the hot springs. Did we forget to mention that Ash has no idea which side is which and he accidentally ends up on the wrong side?

Once he's done with that little embarrassing thing, he'll slip out of there quickly... in a towel. Whoops. He'll pretty much be panicking all over Luceti today, everyone. ]

You didn't get their names..? Aah, that's no good, no good at all! [ Usagi shakes her head wildly to herself. ]

How are you supposed to call them out later if you don't even know their name?

I didn't, even though I asked... [ He hesitates, before continuing, his voice slightly excited. ] I guess I could just describe them! Or bump into them while I travel.

Could you really describe them enough to keep all of them apart? Some people really look like each other, you know!

I think so! [ But then again, Ash sucks at that sort of thing, oops.. ] And if I can't I could just draw 'em!

Oh, that's true! As long as you can draw well enough, you could draw any kind of people at all, I'm sure!

I'm pretty sure I can draw! [ ... Well. It's canon. ]

[ oh, Ash, now you got Usagi curious.. ]

Then draw something for me! Come on, right now, I want to see!

Okay, okay - hold up a bit, then!

[ And a few minutes later, the journal shows a drawing of a Dewgong.. ]

Is this okay?

... oh, that's not too bad! [ she nods slightly to herself, approvingly. ]

I don't know what that's supposed to be, but it looks cute!

Thanks, I guess.

And it's a Dewgong! It's.. well, a Pokemon from back home, like Pikachu.

A Dewgong, huh? How strange, I almost thought it looked more like a seal from home!

Really?

I've never seen animals from other places...

Yeah, yeah! Those really look like seals! I once went to one of those aquariums when I was a kid, and they had seals too, and they did shows with them! It was so much fun..

Names are really important, and it sure feels a lot better to call somebody by their name instead of saying "you" all the time. I hope you figure this out!

I hope so too! Especially since knowing other people's names are kinda awesome.

Well, we might not've met before, but my name's Ventus!

[A beat.]

Ven for short.

Well... the more the merrier, right?

[There's a slight pause, before-]

I'm Ash, by the way. It's nice to meet you, Ven!

Definitely! You can never have too many friends.

Anyway, it's nice to meet you, Ash! Have you been in Luceti for a while?

That's true.

And I've been here for a while, yeah.

Guess that just proves how huge Luceti is! You can be here for more than a year and still not know half the people here.

[For someone like Ven, this is a big deal. He wants to make a bazillion friends.]

I guess that's true. I really want to make friends with everyone! Or.. at least, everyone who's not a bad guy.

Hey, that's what I'm trying to do too! It's tough work, but I think it'll be worth it.

Yeah, it really will be. At least, that's what I'm hoping for.

Well, I don't think it'll be too hard. Just talking to people or going to parties really helps.

[She recognizes your voice. And feels bad about not giving this boy her name when talking to him. Where are her manners?]

Oh dear, I'm so sorry I never introduced myself properly when we talked briefly last month or so.

I'm Peach.

That's okay... I just forgot to ask.

I'm Ash, by the way, if I, er, forgot t' tell ya.

I don't think you told me yours either, so, it's a pleasure meeting you Ash.

Say Ash, where are you from?

Me?

I'm from Pallet Town, in the Kanto region.

Well, it's never too late to find them out.

You think so? I've met so many people, though...

And you'll probably meet a lot more, too.

Maybe I should keep a picture journal for the people I haven't gotten the names of.

That doesn't sound like such a bad idea. Then you can add their names when you figure them out.

Yeah! And then I can show it t' everyone!

You'll never have to worry about forgetting them, either.

That's true.

I hope it'll help!

I know we haven't met before, but since we're talking now... My name's Claude. It's nice to meet you.

Me too!

And it's nice to meet you too, Claude. I'm Ash.

Have you met a lot of people here so far?

Mmm, yeah. I don't remember all their names, though.

There are a lot of people here, but I'm sure you can do it.
