Yeah. [A pause, as he decides that he definitely agrees with that.] Yeah, it is.

I mean not that stuff like that even matters anyway right now, you know? [Gotta save the world! And be Pokemon master! All these other things to do that come before romance. Still, it's something he thinks about now and again.

Another short pause- and a random change of topic.]

You know there's hot springs in Blackthorn? We should all go some time. [Actually that... isn't entirely unrelated to the talk of girls and Jiraiya. oops.]
