>“I know that's never bothered you, Satoshi... >The top 10,000 is made up of people who compete in the annual league tournaments. >Only Pokémon Master class trainers make it to the big league... There's plenty of great trainers whose names never make it on the list.”“Yeah.”
>“But, it might be a problem if you search for them on the internet.”>“Internet?”>“Yeah, but on the internet, you can easily obtain a list of all the officially registered Pokémon Trainers in the world... If you're officially registered, your name is on the list... >Even the names of deceased trainers are listed, there's at least a billion names on the list.”>“There's a list? ... I never knew that.”>“There is. Anyway... With a computer, even with a billion names, it would be easy to search for dad and grandpa on the list. That's why... before you try to search for them, I'd like to tell you... dad and grandpa aren't on the list.”>“Why not?”>“Because, dad and grandpa aren't professionals yet. Or rather, they haven't made it to the point they can be considered professionals.”>“Hmm.”>A long silence hung between Satoshi and Hanako.>“What are they doing? Dad and grandpa.”>Hanako shrugged.>“No idea. They left to become trainers, but their names still aren't on the list... I guess... they're just failures.”>“Failures... huh.”>Satoshi repeated Hanako's words.>Hanako didn't like the gloomy mood.>Hence why she then spoke up.>“But you aren't a failure, Satoshi. So don't you worry about dad or grandpa... okay. Whether you become a trainer or not is your own decision.”>Satoshi muttered quietly.>“How lame.”>“It is lame. Totally lame. Really lame.”>Hanako smiled.I know you'll probably disparage this passage in the most vulgar way you can because you're fixated on this silly idea that Red is Ash's father, and because we're on /vp/ but I figured it was worth posting this anyway, in the event it sparks some anon's interest.
