[Has Silver been able to find his Pokédex in the item shop yet? No. What he has found, however, is definitely a nice consolation prize. He definitely didn't forget about the book Green let him borrow. How could he? Green wanted him to decipher something from his father's book about a trade evolution. His senior, his father, trade evolutions. It's pretty hard to catch his interest better than that.

So Silver settled down just outside of House 15, perfectly content to read and reread his father's book ("Secret Earth Arts"? Sure, it gets the point across, but that's a pretty boring title...,) share cherry tomatoes with his Pokémon, and continue to hold his middle finger up to socializing. Until something hits him, anyway. It was a simple thought, really. The concept of Pokémon trading was pretty obsolete without Pokémon to trade, even if it's something so vital and important to him. ...But "trading" as a whole wasn't. Exchanging currency, goods, information, services... What kind of things did people consider of enough value to be worth trading to someone, anyway?

It's a good question, it's something Silver wants to know, and at the end of the day, his curiosity wins out over loathing the idea of having to ask a bunch of strangers a broad question and hoping for interesting answers. Even if he isn't big on people, he's definitely big on information, especially on such a giant Oh well, at least he only has to write.]

So what things do you consider valuable, and what kind of things are generally considered valuable back in your worlds?

[He'll leave his journal open on his lap and start reading through his book again, occasionally looking down at the journal. Sneasel decides to watch all of this from over Silver's shoulder.

Later on in the day, Silver and Sneasel venture out into the forest in search of... well, exactly what they're looking for might be a little unclear. What is clear is that they're climbing up plenty of trees and looking for something. ...And that they're experienced in swiftly climbing up trees.]

What difference does it make?

Do you really want me to say it? [Because he'll say that word, Silver. The f-word.]

I want you to tell me what the difference between sleeping there, sleeping here, or sleeping anywhere else is.

That's still not the point! That's got nothin' to do with why I picked you up!

Then why did you?

Tch... [Okay, come on, calm down, Gold.]

[He takes a deep breath, and then...]

It's because I'm not gonna let one of my friends alone and out in the cold like that when there's somethin' I can do for 'em.

[He could argue this. He could definitely argue this.

...But he won't. Instead, he'll settle on staring at Gold for a bit while he tries to figure out how to respond to that.]

[You couldn't argue this, Silver.]

...I don't like being at your house.

[...well that's just cold.]

...What's wrong with my house?

It's a small taste of something I can't have.

...You're a dumbass, you know that? You really don't get it.

You're the one that doesn't get it.

Silver, did you ever hear the phrase "Mi casa es su casa"? Like, at all?

[...Mi what now?]

It means "My home's your home" in some weird foreign language. [...Gold, couldn't you at least bother to remember which language?]

[...But it's not- but- but--]

And that means I'm sharing my house with you! You'll just have to pay me back later once you find your old man.

[...

]

...So don't say it's a "small taste of somethin' you can't have", because I'm lettin' you have an all-you-can-eat buffet. You just gotta come and get it.

...Has anyone ever told you that you make no damn sense?

That makes perfect sense.

You don't make sense.
