 Hello? Ash? Oh, and there are other Pokémon trainers here, right? I got my Snivy back! Isn't that great? I had all four of them for a while, but when that happened, it was Servine, not Snivy...but now I have Snivy. That's pretty weird, isn't it? Oh. But I didn't want to talk about that.

It's been a while since I've had, but I think we should have

[She probably looks ridiculous without her beret on, huh? Either way, it's Snivy who notices Hilbert first, though Bianca turns when her name is called. She waves back, recognizing the voice immediately. She's out of the swing and running to him as well, almost dropping Snivy. She'll meet him halfway, though!]

H-Hilbert! I didn't know you were here, either! Oh, it's so good to see you! I...oh, I have so many things to say, I'm not sure where to start. I w-wasn't sure if I'd see you again so soon.

[But her best friend is going to get a hug. Snivy jumps out of the way, at least. No sense in getting crushed.]

We probably just missed each other, somehow. I'm always out and about. Oh, but it's good to know you're here...I think. It's dangerous, though.

[She moves to pick up Snivy again, who is still in "protective" mode. Someone has to keep Bianca in check, right? Right.]

I had them taken from me again...but then I got them all back, for a while, but then I got Snivy back... ...it's really hard to explain.

Actually, since there's so many of us, I was thinking maybe sometime I could show you guys how to have a Pokemon contest! I did a lot more of those than anything else back home.

[bedroombattling]

A Pokémon contest? What's that?

[noneed_2worry]

Instead of a trainer, people who compete in contests are called coordinators. And they compete with each other to see who can show their moves off in the best or most creative way during the appeal round, and then after that the coordinators who are left battle each other to see who comes out on top. But it's not just a normal Pokemon battle, because it's also about making sure your Pokemon looks more impressive than its opponent while they're battling.

[bedroombattling]

Wow! That sounds so cool. I wonder if it's something I can do...

[caaats]

Poke...mon?

[bedroombattling]

Oh, do you not know what they are, either?

[caaats]

No... is it some sort of cat?

[bedroombattling]

Oh! There's Purrloin...Purrloin is a cat. Most of them aren't, though.

[backinblackcity]

Bianca! You're here too?

[bedroombattling]

Yes! I've been here for a month. It feels longer sometimes, though...

[bedroombattling]

Oh. Wait a second, though. Who is this?

[backinblackcity]

Um, it's Hilda. [Pause.] Oh, is this that weird thing...?

[k1_sauce]

[ Cute girl targeted! Keiichi sneaks on over and sees the perfect conversation-starter: that weird-ass green snake thing. ]

Hey, what's that thing?

[bedroombattling]

[Snivy shoots Keiichi a dangerous glare.]

Oh! This is Snivy. He's a friend of a mine.

[k1_sauce]

[ Don't look at me like that, weirdo! ]

Friend, huh? He's, uh. Cute?

[bedroombattling]

Isn't he? I got him back! When he evolves, he'll be bigger, though. And stronger, too!

Didn't we talk on the phone once?
