I'll be heading to Violet City later this week. Are you in Johto still? [She thinks she recognizes the music, and it wouldn't be unreasonable to guess he couldn't afford to travel at the moment, but just to be thorough.]

It's alright. It's not hard once you know what you have to do. If we can meet up sooner than later I'll take you shopping to show you what kind of camping and cooking supplies to look for, and if you want you can spend some time with us while we're there, until you feel like you've got the hang of things?
