Handsome Jack here! I'm way too busy being awesome to answer the phone, but tell me why you're calling and if you're important enough, your people will hear from my people.

Hey there, Jack. Sorry I've been out of touch- I'm not saying that someone in skull-themed gangwear broke my Pokegear, but that's actually exactly what happened. But hey, at least it was exciting, right?

Anyway, I know we couldn't meet up, but I got you something anyway. Let me know your address, and you'll get your not-so-much-a-surprise gift.

Hope you're doing alright. Dee out.

Don't even worry about it, babe, I haven't exactly been Mr. Social myself. Got out for the all the fun, though! What a bunch of buckets of hair those assholes were, huh?

[But he's glad to hear from her. He doesn't know if this is actually gonna go anywhere beyond the extremely casual, but he likes her. She's fun and she's smart and it's easy to talk to her.]

And, uh...eh, kinda got into a scuffle and my mask got...well, to be blunt, a crazy lady ripped it off my face. So...probably woulda canceled on ya anyway, I was going through some weird stuff. Actually not even at home right now, my special girl wanted to take a trip.

By which I mean the fourteen year old girl I've started looking after. We're heading to that farm, gonna buy her a pony. And my own pony, 'cause fire unicorns are freaking awesome.

So yeah, yeah, it's been a month!

They definitely weren’t expecting me, I can tell you that much.

Anyway, yikes. Sounds like October isn’t your time of the year. Maybe I should include a fruit basket along with the toy. At least it sounds like you’re doing better, if you’re going to get a fire horse with someone.

I don't think anybody expects you. You're a surprising lady.

Tell me about it. I coulda skipped that month. But yeah, yeah, I'm pulling myself out of my funk. And what teenage girl doesn't want a pony? Kid deserves it, she's been taking care of me. What's your stomping grounds these days? We might be heading your way.

I get that a lot.

Anyway, I had been planning on heading back into Kanto, but after that big thing in Goldenrod, I thought I’d do a little sight seeing around here. I’ve been spending some time in Cianwood because- well. One of my Pokemon evolved, and he wanted a lot of open water. Tiny little puddle on the street weren’t doing it for him anymore.

Yeah? Anything cool there? I haven't done much traveling, myself. Furthest beyond Goldenrod I've been is Ecruteak a few times.

Lemme guess. Fish dragon?

Pretty nice, pretty nice. I’ve heard Mount Moon is gorgeous, so that’s the sight seeing plan on my list so far.

And yuuup.

[He gets a picture sent to him then. That is indeed a Gyarados. There may or may not be the tip of a small wooden boat sticking out of its mouth as it contentedly lays beached along the, well, beach.]
