[John thankfully isn't so oblivious that he didn't notice the filter on the second half of this. Coupled with the threat accompanying it, he can only assume that it would be smart to filter his own response too.]

I'm sorry to hear about your Pokémon. Trust me, I've been there and it sucks...I hope you find her soon. Talk about a shitty birthday present...have you tried filing a report with Officer Jenny? She might be able to do something about it.

But if you want, I can teach you how to make a cake. You don't have to pay me or anything, I like baking so I don't mind teaching people how to do that sort of thing. I can't make it to Goldenrod today, but I can definitely be there before the 14th! [A beat.] Which...I'm guessing is Nanami's birthday? Chiaki Nanami? Unless there are two girls with the same last name running around...

[He hey knows this person and she was pretty cool.]
