[The gear opens to a curious looking Poliwag, tilting its head from left to right. For a moment, that's all everyone gets to see before Takeru's voice becomes apparent in the background.]

This pokemon keeps on following me. I wonder what's wrong with it.

[The angle of the feed shifts to view Takeru's confused face.]

Do you guys have any ideas?

It's probably hungry.

[usedhope]

I already gave it berries, though.

[migeika]

It will expect you to keep feeding it now unless you make it leave.

[usedhope]

Well, I don't have plans to make it leave. Especially now that I think it expressed interest in becoming my friend. [aka joining my team.]

[migeika]

Then you'll place it in one of those balls?

[ her only pokemon, her absol, is roaming around behind her- no balls here. ]

[usedhope]

I'd like to think it's their choice if they want to stay in one of these pokeballs we have.

[Most of his pokemon, when asked, agrees to stay inside, so. Oftentimes, his Cleffa doesn't stay inside but they've been having such cold weather lately.]

[migeika]

How gentlemanly of you.

[usedhope]

[A sheepish smile.] Ah- I just think, in the end, they always have a choice. That's all. [Because they're also living beings.]

[migeika]

Of course.

If they want to grow stronger they must travel with someone who can teach them.

[usedhope]

You're right. This is why I'll do my best to make them stronger. [All his training is usually for his pokemon's sake.]

[migeika]

This one is moving slowly, but he is much stronger than last week.

[usedhope]

I'm glad to hear that. [He looks at her pokemon through the gear.] That's an Absol, right?

[migeika]

[ she glances over her shoulder as Shichirin challenges a weak-looking rattata- the battle doesn't last long. ]

That's right. He was given to me when I arrived here.

[usedhope]

[Takeru watches the battle in his peripheral vision.]

I see. When did you arrive here?

[migeika]

[ she pauses, tilting her head and glancing away in though. ]

A week ago, I believe.

[usedhope]

So, you're still pretty new. Have you been briefed about this place yet?
