[It would be stupid not to keep tabs on Roy's quest for the Gym Badges. He's been quite fond of showing them off. Archer hasn't responded to any of the posts lately, but this one does catch his attention. That's eight, isn't it? He hasn't returned home - the first solid proof Archer has that obtaining the eight Gym Badges doesn't do anything. It's a bit disappointing.]
[The video opens to Archer smirking; he doesn't exactly have a normal smile.]
Congratulations are in order, then.
[That's actually not sarcastic. At the same time, Archer's obviously going somewhere with this.]
It is unfortunate that the Elite Four aren't accepting challengers yet. You're in Goldenrod, correct? How about we have a rematch, then?
[He hasn't forgotten that humiliating defeat on the train. He's been training non-stop with Kimblee since then (minus a couple of weeks where they separated for... reasons); he's positive he can defeat Roy now.]
