2nd gear | video + action to goldenrod city

[It's around midday, and Asami's 'Gear is propped up to record her sitting at a small table in the park. Her Riolu sits quietly beside her. The worn table is inlaid with a chess board, and the seat across from her is empty for now.]

Where I'm from, we have a game called Pai Sho.

[She speaks while she reaches into her bag to pull out a newly purchased chess set- mainly, the directions.]

It's a game of careful thinking and ruthless strategy. There doesn't seem to be a real equivalent here, but someone did point me toward this. Chess.

[Asami begins taking out the pieces and laying them out on the board.]

Anyone know anything about it?

[She'll be here for a while, reading over the rules and trying to teach Teruko how to play with her.]

Were you ever interested in playing it?

To be honest, I hadn't thought much about it before. Though I suppose it might be interesting; from what I've heard, it allegedly requires at least some degree of strategic thinking.

Strategy and memorization, from what I've heard. If you were ever looking to challenge a beginner...

[She tips her head, her expression amicable. The offer's there!]
