For most people, it would take only a millisecond to respond to what Jackie had asked Crim. But for him, it surprisingly took a bit longer. As soon as she asked him that a sudden wave of realizations just started to trickle into his mind about why exactly he came here. He knew he and Kong wanted to make a name for themselves, build up a strong team, and try to be more like the people he used to watch on his favorite pokemon battling shows. But he never really considered how to actually get there. There were so many options and opportunities that could lead to the same result that it could easily overwhelm people if you would try to list them off. There was obviously the pokemon league, but there were also pro battling scenes, special challenges that would be televised, and even a special unite league that was starting to make the rounds in other regions. He never stopped to consider what exactly he would do, or even what would make him or his pokemon feel happy. For a second he even looked at Kong to see if he had some kind of an answer. But he looked just as confused as he was, and even a bit worried. At this point, the silence was becoming longer and longer as they all walked to find a restaurant so he needed to give some kind of an answer.<br/><br/>"Umm... He he, I'll be perfectly honest... We... really don't know. I think as soon as I and Kong were ready to go out into the world and do things on our own we just sorta... did it. No real plans, no special events to try and take part in, just... go out and do something with our lives. The most we really know is that we want to be like the people we saw on TV. Ya know, shows like Platinum Arenas or Poke Rangers. Ever since I was young I was always enamored with becoming just like them, making a team of pokemon, and taking part in all kinds of crazy battles. When I showed the same shows to Kong he was pretty much dead set on wanting to do the same thing." He looks over to Kong as he says that last sentence and the Chimchar couldn't help but chuckle about how he was guilty of being a massive battle fanboy. "But I guess we were kinda quick to chase that dream because... I don't think we have a single god damn idea on how to get there. We just... sorta decided to make a name for ourselves without really knowing... how..." Crim blushes a bit as he and Kong look at each other. The revelation completely crept up his mind about how they were ready to go for the gold without any proper training.<br/><br/>Suddenly, it seemed like Kong had remembered something as he tried to tell Crim about it. Making gestures that tried to mimic a fight and some explosive effects that would leave very visible chunks of debris. Crim seemed confused at first about what Kong was trying to tell him but he quickly put the pieces together with the idea of finding who had that huge battle in the Fortare Forest. "Oh right, gah how the hell could I forget that? Kong you smart little chimp!" He gives Kong a little tussle on his head with Kong laughing and trying to pry his hand off of it. "Umm, actually I know there is one thing we are trying to do. When we first got here, we heard what seemed like a big tussle in Fortare Forest. It seemed like it was intense as by the time we got there we found some pieces of debris scattered all over the place. I think we even saw something shadowy in the trees at some point... but that's not the point. We wanna know what happened there and who was fighting who to leave that big of a mark. Because... god I need to get that fanboy out of his cage and loose after imagining all the cool shit that could have caused that noise!"<br/><br/>Crim was clearly teetering on going back into fanboy mode after imagining all the ways that fight could have gone down. Was it a Ranger going up against an evil team, a random pokemon causing chaos, or some miscellaneous third option he didn't even consider? He was getting all excited just thinking about it and Kong was practically feeling the same way. Kong looked up to the sky letting his imagination run wild as a big smile grew on his face. He knew he wanted to face off against anyone that could be that powerful and this could be his first big chance to knock something off his bucket list.
