[It's a lot harder taking off his jacket than he thinks it's going to be. He struggles with shouldering it off after he gets it zipped down, and his happiny's little arms aren't much better (though they do, at least, get his shoulder sleeve off). At least gently tugging it away from his left arm is easier, even if by the end of it he's got tears stinging at the edge of his eyes.

Broken bones suck. And he sounds considerably less grumpy and a lot more strained when he starts speaking again; it gets better the longer he talks though.]

The Silver I knew was like that too. He didn't started saying my name until... He asked me if I was me in Goldenrod, I guess, when I tried sneaking into the tower dressed as a Rocket grunt, and he said it in Ecruteak too, but I don't think we were on serious name-to-name basis until Mt. Moon in Kanto.

[A long time! Talking is better than trying not to cry (which is for sissies) so Silver's gonna have to deal with it.]

He's not nicer than you for sure, but he's not as dumb. Or maybe he is, because he keeps thinking he'll beat me one of these days. He's great to battle next to though. I mean, Ferafera can take care of pretty much anything and anyone, especially a couple of dragons, but it was still a lot of fun to battle with him instead of, like, against him. If that makes sense? [...not a lot's fun anymore.] He told me he'd come back as my toughest challenger yet, and the only thing tough about him is trying not to laugh in his face about it. He'd probably shove me into the water and that stuff's freezing, you know? It's coooold in Blackthorn.

[A pause. Dude hates his voice right.]

Be gentle with me, okay? I'll talk more the more unnecessary pain you put me through.
