Although I've been extremely busy with contests galore (if you haven't been keeping up with my career and still dare to call yourself a 'fan' of my work, I hope you know that you've made incredibly poor life choices and I urge you to reevaluate them as soon as you possibly can) seeing as my most recent series of contest entries in Kanto have resulted in my success skyrocketing from where I was just a year ago!

Although I've earned ribbons from Saffron City (my hometown if any fans of mine who are anxious to know more about me and my life prior to becoming a local celebrity of sorts, were wondering), Silver Town, Wisteria Town, and Chrysanthemum Island, I still need to collect one more ribbon before my entry into the Grand Festival can be made official. Considering the fact that I've managed to earn four ribbons in merely five months, I am definitely looking forward to competing at the festival itself as I am certain that I'll put up an incredible fight.

It's surreal to think that in merely seven months, I'll be competing for the title of the Top Coordinator in Kanto, but I'm certain that my team and I will not only figuratively shoot for the stars but will prove to the entire region that I'm on my way to becoming the best Top Coordinator that Kanto has ever known. While I plan to head to Gardenia Town next to win the final ribbon necessary to be eligible to compete in the festival, I am going to announce that I will be putting my trip there off for a few weeks until after my twenty-fourth birthday has come and gone for reasons pertaining to spending time with my family.

That being said, I would like to commemorate the one year anniversary of my move to Kanto! Although I'm not usually one for the 'life of the party' as many people do refer to other socialites as being, I would like to extend a formal invitation for all of my fellow competitors and friends alike to attend a brunch at my home here on Cinnabar Island! Food and beverages will be provided for every partygoer.

I hope to see each and every one of you there! 

But have I said that I've caught a Munna already?

Who would have thought that the route east of Olivine would be such an excellent place to encounter ghost Pokemon?

And I have procured another sunburn. I feel that how engrossed I become in my research is becoming a problem, as it prevents me from both eating and reapplying sunscreen.

It seems pretty enjoyable here!
