[The journal clicks on, and lo, it is Gold. Needless to say, he probably seems a lot more like "himself" to the careful observers who were paying attention these past few weeks than before. And to the rest? Well, you just see Gold.]

I swear, that was the longest three weeks of my life. Stuck like that, that stuff goin' down at the dome, watchin' everyone lose their minds... Geez, talk about your crap timing. Damn mallies...

Of course, the real kicker here is that while all this was goin' on, I miss out on April Fool's Day! That's my day! Man, and no one else even busted out some sweet pranks, either... Bit too late to go plannin' that now. [A groan. Definitely too late for that, especially with Masaomi off doing only God knows what. He needs his partners in crime for this, after all.

All this craziness that went on brings something to mind for Gold, however.]

Hey, I want a rolecall here. All Pokémon trainers here in Luceti, report in! Gotta get an idea of who's still lurkin' around here, after all. That includes you newbies we inducted, too! [Gotta make sure everyone's present and accounted for... Have to make sure that no one's... missing...

...Something's off in the house. Something's missing.]

...Anybody seen Mewtwo? Y'know, tall, furry, tail longer than an Arbok? Could melt your brain with a single thought if he wanted to? That one. Haven't seen around since that little experiment came to a close.

...Dammit, don't tell me he's...

I'm takin' it easy. Don't feel like doin' anything, so I'm just relaxin'. Simple as that.

[tsuntrader]

You never don't feel like doing anything.

[mischiefbreeder]

There's a first time for everything.

[tsuntrader]

You're holing up in your room.

[mischiefbreeder]

Am not.

[tsuntrader]

Are-

...I'm not having this argument.

[mischiefbreeder]

You always say that.

[tsuntrader]

Do n-

...This time I mean it.

[mischiefbreeder]

No you don't.

[tsuntrader]

[...|8]

[mischiefbreeder]

[Darn, he thought that one would work.]

[tsuntrader]

[Nope. Cut the crap, Gold.]

[mischiefbreeder]

Well, if you think I'm holin' up in my room... Then let's go do something.

[tsuntrader]

[Now that's more like it.] Like what?

[mischiefbreeder]

I'm askin' you that, genius.

[tsuntrader]

[Oh. Right. He brought it up, so he has to come up with something. ...Or something like that.

...Uh-]

[mischiefbreeder]

[well? He's waiting.]

[tsuntrader]

[...] Something. [Come on man coming up with stuff to do is your thing]

[mischiefbreeder]

Real descriptive. [Nope.]

[tsuntrader]

Some crazy extravagant Gold thing that I couldn't begin to imagine doing.

[mischiefbreeder]

If I knew what to do, I wouldn't be in here.

[Let him stew in his denial and frustration, god.]

[tsuntrader]

[...] Come on. [And with that, Silver's heading back out of Gold's room.]

[mischiefbreeder]

[What is he... Oh, whatever, fine, Silver. Fine. Gold's getting up and following.]

[tsuntrader]

[Yep. That's right. You better get up and follow him.

Silver heads outside, and... Uh... Towards... The battle dome! They're going to the battle dome. He can make one of those simulations where they do things like rock climbing or whatever. And that buys him time to figure out something to do.

...Surely he can think of something...]

[mischiefbreeder]

[Yeah you go ahead and lead him to the battle dome, whatevs.]
