[The feed is shaky, only because the camera is currently being held by Biz's tail, Kaito's Aipom, who is perched on his regular spot on top of Kaito's head. The magician is exiting the Olivine City gym, holding a newly earned and very shiny Mineral Badge above his head, inspecting it against the sunlight carefully. For having just won another badge victory, he doesn't look too terribly excited. His Aipom nudges his head, then gestures toward the camera, as if to say "Tell them about your victory! Tell them!"

Kaito just frowns and lifts a hand to push the camera away, palming the badge as he does so]

C'mon, Biz, not right now.

[The Aipom deflates, but doesn't turn off the camera. After a few more silent moments, he nudges his trainer again, arching his eyebrows suggestively in the process, as if to say "Wasn't that gym leader cute? Huh huh huh?"

Kaito frowns again]

Huh? Yeah, sure, I guess she was pretty cute. Didn't I tell you to put away the stupid gear?

[Kaito pushes the gear away again, and the camera angle is shifted away from him, showing nothing but the bright blue Johto sky. There's a tiny Aipom sigh in the background, followed by some audible mumbling from his trainer--]

So what is it... nine years tomorrow? Keh. I wonder if it even counts if the anniversary passes here...

[-- and the feed is cut]
