Goooood evening, residents of Johto. It's a lovely, drizzly January day, and I've got a question you folks might be able to answer for me. Consider it an informal poll.

[York looks comfortable and cozy as he lounges around his house, still wearing his ugly Christmas sweater.]

Now, I understand that this place just isn't equipped to support a Grifball League, but there's got to be more to life than just hockey and baseball. Are there Pokémon Olympics or something I should tune into? And, hey, what kind of sports did you guys have back in your worlds? Were they fun? Would you recreate 'em here if you could?

[He rubs his chin for a moment, then adds:]

If anyone around Goldenrod's interested in forming some kind of low-key community sports team--y'know, something for people, not Pokémon--let me know. I might be able to help us get something set up before baseball season starts.

I don't know exactly what the Olympics are, but some friends and I are trying to get some Pokemon sporting competitions going! Since...there don't seem to be any.

Back home we had pro-bending! I played professionally for a while. It's awesome! But I'm not sure how to recreate it here. There's no bending here...

Uh, controlling elements. It's a thing where I come from.

A regionwide Olympics — now there's a winning idea. So much of Johto and Kanto revolves around the athletic merits of Pokemon; it'd be nice to see some celebration of their trainers' accomplishments more often, too.

[Carmen, you just want to steal the damn Olympics. Be real.]

My Porygon2 tells me you're a close friend of his. York York York, is it? What a pleasure.

There's dance teams where I'm from - or there used to be, at least. They got pretty competitive.

Where I'm from we had Duel Monsters. A REAL sport, not like driftball or whatever the hell that is.

[It's totally a sport because shut up.]

This place is so backwater no one's even heard of it, so YEAH I'm gonna recreate it if I can.

[He just needs to build up some real funds first. And get a printing press. ...Duel Disks might be a little beyond his ability, but he'll burn that bridge when he gets to it.]

Basketball, baseball, football - uh, American football, not soccer, though we had that too - volleyball... you get th epicture. I know Andalites have something called 'driftball' which Ax explained to me once and I think it sounds like basketball but in low-gravity? I know Hork-Bajir don't really have sports, and I doubt Yeerks do either and I don't think I'd want to know about them if they did.

And the the Skrit Na pretty much just make a sport out of kidnapping humans and other species and flying around with them or putting them into zoos.

[North is sitting on the couch just out of frame and he looks up and gives York an amused look, watching his boyfriend vlog about sports to the network.]

It's hard to believe that it's really been about 15 years since I did track.
