[The video clicks on to Ys' smiling face.] I've made it to Cherrygrove. That took longer than expected. [Pause. He's been here two days.]

I noticed that people have been naming their pokemon. [He tilts the camera so a Sneasel can be seen. She doesn't wave so much as glare stubbornly at the camera.] This is Freya. I have a pidgey, too, but I can'

Umm... You've got yourself a Pidgey, huh? Maybe you could name him Orville?

[Action]

[harbringersoul]

Yes. [Ys looks up at the stranger; the Poke Center has very comfortable chairs.] I don't know. Does that name mean something where you're from?

OH WHOOPS MEANT VIDEO

[crossinggenders]

Hu-huh. It's the last name of a pair of brothers who invented the airplane.

[video TTLY WORKS;]

[harbringersoul]

I see. That makes sense. [Ys doesn't care what he calls it, but he tests the name anyway:] Orville? [Pause.] Freya. Orville and Freya. [Pause.] Freya and Orville; maybe.

[video]

[crossinggenders]

Eh? What made you decide on Freya?

[harbringersoul]

[Glances at the sneasel that is Completely Ignoring him off screen, then smiles brightly at the camera.] I thought it sounded nice. Don't you?

[crossinggenders]

Mm... I guess you're right! It suits your Sneasel!

[harbringersoul]

Thank you. [Pause.] Did you name your pokemon after anyone from your world?

[video]

[crossinggenders]

Oh! Um, no... To be honest, the people I know would want really amazing Pokemon to be named after, so I wouldn't want to insult them by accidentally naming them on a weak looking Pokemon.

[video]

[harbringersoul]

That is thoughtful of you. You should name something after what suits it. ...Orville might suit it after all.

[video]

[crossinggenders]

You've got a point there. But, ah... Are you enjoying your journey in Johto so far? Has anyone given you the basic introduction and everything?

[video]

[harbringersoul]

It's all right. I don't like walking so much. [Read: not at all.] I know how battles work, if that's what you mean. People have been very helpful.

[video]

[crossinggenders]

Were you ever told of the rumor about how to get home?

[video]

[harbringersoul]

I have to collect all the badges.

[video]

[crossinggenders]

That's right... It won't be too diffcult, but the amount of time is another issue.

[video]

[harbringersoul]

I'd heard that time stays still where you came from.
