There's apparently a train that goes between regions- boards in Goldenrod for you, Saffron for me. That'll be my best route back. Since I have to travel on foot to get there... [Venkman grimaces.]

It could take me a couple months. I can cut down on that time if I get a Pokemon I can ride? But so far all I have is the roach- and some guy is apparently sending me a kitten egg? Because everything hatches from eggs here??

[Which still sounds fake but ok]
