[The video feed opens to a rather ragtag looking bunch. Hiro's sitting down with a certain trio of Pokemon - his Nosepass, Yanmega, and Parasect - as his Combusken films. In and around the borders, Gemini, Atsuro, and Naoya are all hanging around, and from the looks of it... This odd quartet is in Ecruteak?]
That's two down, everybody. This one was a lot closer, but I think it was worth it to have a real challenge. It was good experience.
[Hiro stands up and, finally, flashes a little pin - his new badge - to the screen. As he does so, his Parasect raaaaaises his claw-- then SLAMS it down, as if making some grand statement. ... Well, you know good ol' quiet Fungus Jack.]
This and Zephyr makes me one fourth of the way done. I wish there was an easier way to get around, but the van trip really helped. I think we're going to head to Goldenrod next so we can get back to Violet to meet up with the others. I've really been looking forward to checking that place out.
... But first I'm going to look around here. Is there anything good to check out? There's a theatre and a couple of towers; I'm pretty sure I won't be able to see it all, if we're only here a day or two, so what's the best thing to see? I'd like to make the best of this while I can.
[Hiro pauses, about to hang up, then he recalls something.]
Oh yeah. Did anyone else see that... dragon thing earlier? Back in Olivine? It sounds like it flew around everywhere, around the same time that music started playing, but now I don't know where it went. It was awesome looking though. Wish I could have caught it.
[OOC: Atsuro, Naoya, and Gemini also have tagging rights on this post should they want to use them!]
