"Been doing alright.  Sorry I left without a trace, or even a goodbye, but I had gotten word that my father had been injured, so I had to return home.  Turns out Team Flare attacked the Daycare, trying to nab the Pokémon there, and my father wouldn't let them.  I helped fend them off, until you guys put an end to them, then I stayed behind to help take care of the Daycare while my father healed, and stayed even longer after he healed.  But recently, I got the urge to travel again, and restart my journey.  So I took Zeni and a couple others with me and continued my Gym Challenge.  I just beat Blaine and came by to heal up, I'm surprised to see the two of you here, figured you'd be in another region."
