[Papyrus can be seen training his new Lapras' swimming speed today.]

EXCELLENT! JUST 30 MORE LAPS TO GO, ARIAL! THEN IT WILL BE TIME FOR DINNER! [He's happy to encourage her, as she renews her swimming with the promise of dinner. Both Herculanum and Luminari are riding on her back for extra weight training. Papyrus himself is on the shore, supported by a pair of crutches. With Arial set to her task, he limps back to his nearby camp and sits down. Its then that he picks up the gear to address the network.]

GREETINGS, HUMANS! DESPITE SOME....SETBACKS... [A glance to the crutches.] TRAINING IS GOING SMOOTHLY! WHY, I SUSPECT WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS WE WILL FINALLY BE AT AN APPROPRIATE LV TO DEFEAT THIS FIRST GYM IN THE GYM CHALLENGE!

SPEAKING OF! I'VE READ THAT MANY GYMS EMPLOY PUZZLES THAT ONE MUST SOLVE IN ORDER TO BATTLE THE GYM LEADER! WITH MUCH EXCITEMENT I DECIDED TO INSPECT THE PUZZLE AT THE VIOLET CITY GYM...ONLY TO FIND THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE ONE! THERE IS ONLY A MECHANICAL PLATFORM THAT RAISES ONE TO AN "S" SHAPED WALKWAY!

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! EVEN MORE SO, WHEN I VOICED MY DISSATISFACTION TO MR. FALKNER, HE MERELY SCOFFED AT ME, CLAIMING HE HAD "BETTER THINGS TO DO" THAN FILL HIS GYM WITH "SILLY" PUZZLES! THE NERVE! PUZZLES ARE NEVER SILLY! UNLESS THEY ARE CROSSWORDS, BUT THIS ISN'T ABOUT THAT! WHY, WHAT'S THE HARM OF HAVING "X" PANELS ONE MUST TURN INTO "O"S BEFORE THEY PULL A SWITCH AND ARE ABLE TO PROGRESS? WHAT ABOUT SLIPPERY SLIDEY ICY FLOOR PUZZLES? OR, IF ONE INSISTS ON STICKING TO A THEME RESPECTIVE OF THEIR GYM TYPE, WHY NOT HAVE GAPS THAT BIRDS WILL CARRY YOU OVER? OR EVEN CANONS YOU SHOOT YOURSELF OUT OF TO REACH HIGHER AND HIGHER PLATFORMS? THE POSSIBILITIES ARE QUITE ENDLESS!

HUMANS, SURELY YOU AGREE, YES? AFTER ALL, WHAT KIND OF CHALLENGE DOESN'T EVEN INCLUDE A SINGLE PUZZLE? WHY, IT'S DOWNRIGHT CRIMINAL, IF YOU ASK ME! AND YOU ALL SHOULD! I AM, AFTER ALL, THE GREATEST AUTHORITY ON PUZZLES IN ALL OF THE UNDERGROUND! JAPES AS WELL, IF YOU PREFER THOSE!
