Pokemon Radio: The Hitchhiker's Guide to Oakre
Hosts: Yongguk and Daehyun

***********************

Yongguk: Is it airing?

Daehyun: ...I think so? ...What's that button do--oh , we shouldn't touch that...ah, yeah, it's airing.

Yongguk: You have a colourful mouth, Daehyun.

Daehyun: ...Sorry. Anyways, today, Youngjae's off sick, so I'm kind of taking his place. Youngjae's the main DJ after all.

Yongguk: Hmm.

Daehyun: Say, Yongguk. I heard you're a whiz at Oakre's geometry.

Yongguk: It's geography. But yes, I like to read up on such topics.

Daehyun: Ah, yes, geography. Not geometry. Anyways, what famous landmark can you tell us about Oakre today, Yongguk?

Yongguk: Hmm...if you visit Oakre, you have to visit the Sparkridge Tower.

Daehyun: Sparkridge Tower? Isn't Sparkridge all the way to the south?

Yongguk: Uh, you're probably thinking of Soulbond, which is where we're heading next after Stratuseon, by the way.

Daehyun: Aren't we nearer the west? How are we going to get there?

Yongguk: That's for me to know and you to find out tomorrow. Anyways, we're going off track. Sparkridge is slightly below the centre of Oakre, and is the hub of commercial activity. The National University of Oakre is there too.

Daehyun: Whoa. Did you know one of my aspirations when I was a kid is to study in NUO?

Yongguk: But you didn't.

Daehyun: Yeah, didn't have the funds. Didn't want to burden my parents too.

Yongguk: Yeah, I know how you feel.

Daehyun: Did you study at NUO, Yongguk? You seem so smart.

Yongguk: Actually, I did want to take a few classes, but I couldn't find the time. I was working when I was already in my teens.

Daehyun: Ah. That's unfortunate.

Yongguk: Oh well. Learning isn't constrained to the textbook. We can learn by reading and experiencing things for ourselves too. Learning is a lifelong process.

Daehyun: Wow. That sounds...deep.

Yongguk: But it is true.

Daehyun: Well, what books do you read, Yongguk?

Yongguk: History, geography, music...mainly those three topics, but really, anything that interests me.

Daehyun: Wow. That's commendable. I mean, having an interest for everything...that sounds like Youngjae.

Yongguk: Youngjae does sound like someone who'd be interested in everything.

Daehyun: Well, he sounds like he's interested in everything, but really, machines are his life. He's recently installed this app on his Pokedex to help him learn programming.

Yongguk: Wow, that's...cool. I have read a few books on programming, but of course, I've never put any of it into practice.

Daehyun: Yeah, Youngjae's pretty decent at some languages. I don't get most of it, but he always says stuff like Komalascript, or like, Magnethon. I seriously don't understand any of it, so I kind of pity his Pokemon. He's always getting his Pokemon to listen to him ramble.

Yongguk: Well, honestly, I think his Pokemon are quite interested, even though they don't understand what's going on. It seems to me that they wouldn't voluntarily stay if it disinterests them.

Daehyun: Yeah...

Yongguk: Speaking of electronics, there is a street called Bellwall street in Faultmount City. It sells a lot of computers and electronic stuff. The latest mobile phones, latest laptops, games, gaming devices. You name it, they have it.

Daehyun: Youngjae would be in heaven.

Yongguk: That's right. There's a Gym there in Faultmount. We're going to have to pass by there if we're going on the League challenge.

Daehyun: So I'll tell Youngjae to look forward to it?

Yongguk: Nah. Keep it a surprise, yeah?

Daehyun: Sure. This is your hosts Daehyun...

Yongguk: And Yongguk.

Together: Signing off! Good bye!
