♫ tomorrow is too late for the words I have to say
[break][break]
People tend to change after years and years. considering it's been quite a long time to say the least, Joey is surprisingly not that different. He's still got that young heart, and well, let's just say he hasn't changed all that much. He's gotten older, sure, but he's never stopped being him yannow? He's still got responsibilities, and cares for other people, and above all cares for his beloved rattata - thank god for everstones - and well, just does what he has to do. Of course, even though it's been years, he's still touched by Gold's well, existence and tries his best to emulate what his best-friend - because he really doesn't have any other friends, why do you think a ten year old was helping elm!? - would want him to do. And that's to go above and beyond... right? He's going to deny if someone says he has a romantic notion about his best buddy, by the way.
[break][break]
However, where Joey truly shines, is technology. How many ten year olds you know can make a composite shot look like an exact photograph from a few details and blurry camera images? Yeah, that's what I thought. If already at that age he was good, imagine now, that he's had years to develop love for technology. Let's just say he's a little too humble about that - although he brags about rattata all the time!? - elsewise he might have been picked up by some important people. Naw, for now, he just makes do with his modified gadgets, and well, in the end he's just a sweet hearted kid yannow? Even though he's techniqually an adult... oh dear.

♫ so please stop running and listen to my words

A simple job, something he's done before. After all, the professor was the one that guided him into getting his ever faithful partner! And in return, he was just going to ferry some important information. That was pretty much it and yet... and yet something went wrong just then. A murkrow took his bag - too intelligent for a bird he'd thought - and flew off. Luckily for him, said bird also stole an antenna, causing someone else some trouble. That someone else was going to be a good friend, although he didn't know it yet. One minute he was scared because he didn't want to fail this job - his pocket money and pride was on it dammit - and the next he was being attacked by an aipom and then swept up in the pace of someone else. Someone he never expected to meet, and would never meet their equal again, and that perhaps is why to this day, he still hopes... well ahem.
[break][break]
That person was named Gold Evers.
[break][break]
All over the course of a few days, he got the adventure of a lifetime. Staying over at his new friend's house - for the first time in his life - getting along with the boy's mother, and getting to finish the job he was sent out to do. But at the same time, he got to witness a lot of things, several robberies, Gold's tricky nature, Gold's pride, the intense training he wanted to do to become stronger, and most of all, several days in the company of someone that didn't seem to mind him and his sometimes awkward self. Sure he had looked to technology for solace, but... this was the first time that Joey might have made a friend. And then, as suddenly as they were brought together, as suddenly as they were to part - Joey meant to bring all of Gold's family pokemon back, and to assist Professor Elm once more.
[break][break]
Back then he had been worried about Gold's mother, and other things, but is it sad that he now regrets that their time was so short?

♫ because I don't have anything like any passwords

Since then, his life resettled into that same loop. Working for the Professors, helping out with technology - what was it with old men and the inability to understand new common place tech, but to make something as complex as a pokedex!? - and just... generally being there. Hearing second hand how Gold was doing, his adventures his journey. For years and years this went on - Joey just a figure in the background like everything else. And perhaps, at one time, that would have been enough - before he met Gold, it would have - but it wasn't anymore. Joey didn't want to just stay behind in the background, and after quite some time, sought to start his own journey. A bit late, sure, but at least he was going on one right?
[break][break]
He didn't even get to start it.

♫ only truth, like the forgotten tales of various songbirds

Now, he's come to Lyeant, following in the footsteps of his friend Gold, keeping that ideal in front of him. How far would he go? He doesn't know, but he knows that the reason he's here, is because of the Professors. Perhaps he's too weak, he thinks, but perhaps he's also strong in his own way. Who knows, and this new region is just the place to find out. As he's looking for his friend of course.
