[When the feed flips on, there is no picture or much audio for the longest time; maybe a good few minutes or so, and the voice that speaks up is slightly muffled. Is that the scratch of the microphone on clothing?]
One year longer... [Than he thought he'd be here? Than he thought he'd live? Vanitas doesn't finish, but there's a soft croon of an Altaria in the background. It's almost like she's finishing the sentence for him. Whatever she says, he reacts like he understands, because he clears his throat.]
I've spent one year here in this world. It's the longest I've ever been in one world. [Even if it's larger than most worlds with all this space to roam. Silence falls again, but this time, it is interrupted by a Minun chittering away.]
Heh, I was ready to throw you and stomp on you until you quit moving when you first hatched, Runt. [Quietly chuckling, there's a small creak of a chair and floor as Vanitas moves to get up; the shifting alone was enough to grind fabric over the Gears microphone and turn it off within moments.]

[With the feed turning on a second time today, Vanitas is wearing his helmet with the visor pulled back, but looking somewhat... pleased. Content, even. He doesn't even seem to care that his Minun is hanging out on the back of his head, giving him the illusion of blue ears.]
I'm curious to what Pokemon people have had trouble training. Where did you find them, and how have they proven difficult? Was it the typing that didn't fit your style of battle, or the personality too problematic?
[Since his team is all 100s (minus Smaug but he's getting there), Vanitas looking to expand his training experience; all them ice types are good to him but not good if he deals with a fire type again.]
