[Normally, Gold's content to just go day-by-day in Luceti, not entirely too concerned about the state of affairs back home. After all, as far as he's aware, everything should be perfectly fine and normal at home. He even went so far as to set his Pokégear's time and date to Luceti time instead of Earth time.

Of course, while it's normally a benefit, this time it works against him. His Pokegear ever-so-lovingly reminded him today was Mother's Day.

...So he needs a reminder of when Mother's Day is, okay. So sue him. Anyway, he's reminded of his mom now. Kid misses her, of course. He's not exactly ready to leave her behind just yet, and being away from home for two years... Well, it makes you homesick.

Instead of getting depressed over it, though, he instead opts to pose a question to Luceti.]

So here's a little survey. Dunno what it's like in your world, but according to my Pokégear on this day in my world, it's a little holiday called "Mother's Day". It's pretty self-explanatory. It's a day we celebrate moms.

So answer this: What are your moms like? Here, I'll even kick things off to get started. My mom's pretty much the best mom anyone could ask for. She raised me with all her love, and I wouldn't trade her for any other mom in the world.

And her burgers are to die for. Now it's your turn. Shoot.

[GEEZ WHERE'D YOU COME FROM]

With a Spinarak up his bum? Yeah, I know what he's like.

[Better get used to it, he does this a lot when he's actually around.]

Or a part of him, at least.

[Regardless, Green grins.]

Are you planning on celebrating?

It's the only part I ever get to see. Anyway, I can't exactly celebrate here.

[Green chuckles. He doesn't usually see the grouchy side of his grandfather, but he does know that the respect is there, in Gold's case.]

You can do a small something.

[Oh, Gold respects Professor Oak.

...But the guy still has a bug up his ass.]

...She'll never see it, though.

[It's respect built on 'the fuck is wrong with you Gold'. Red gets a little bit but you have a majority of it.]

"It's the thought that counts". It's a day for you to honor her, as well as make her happy.

[So if you can't do the latter, you can still do the former, is what Green seems to be saying.]

Even if she doesn't see it, you're still honoring her.

["Honor her", huh?

Gold closes his eyes, thinking about this.]

[Green gives him a friendly pat on the shoulder.]

It'll do you good.

[...okay, this is weird. Gold is going to stare right at Green now.]

... Senior Green, are we havin' a moment here?

[Gold, you don't call Green out on doing nice things! Green twists Gold's hat sideways and turns around to leave.]

[Gosh, Green, you're more tsun than Silver sometimes. Gold grumbles and readjusts his hat, and then he calls to Green.]

Hey.

[He's got three more years on it than Silver does! But Green stops in the doorway, sliding his hands into his pockets.]

[gosh Green, what a tool. ]

Thanks.

Once I catch up in levels, I'm going to test you in more intensive training.

[AKA "You're welcome, here have a conversational deflection".]

Shouldn't you be savin' that for the new juniors?

...

[He may or may not be having some rather frustrating memories of training Yellow.

...He does not seem to want to train newbies.]

Someone's gotta, y'know.

... ... ...

[The thought, all the dread!]

I don't need a repeat of Yellow.

Most of 'em are better than that.

You weren't there.

[A sigh.]

I'll take them and make them real trainers, once they have the basics down.

So you're makin' us graduate them to you, then.

I don't have time to teach basics.

[He has the time, oh he has plenty of time. He just doesn't have the patience.]

Red is better with newbies. He still acts like they do.

[In that he is able to act like a normal kid, which Green has never been able to do.]

[Well, it's true Red's way better at being normal than you, Green. Even if he's kind of dumb.]

C'mon, Senior Green, you know Red can't sit down and work with newbies for long. He's always gotta be movin'! [You're one to talk, Gold.]

They'll get in good shape if they chase Red around.

Ain't that the truth. [He's been there, man.]
