-ome on! Say 'kweh'!

[Tifa's inside, completely snugged warm and, oh look! There's a Torchic on her lap, a scarf around him too. It cheeps and tilts it's head, confused.]

It's not that hard. All you gotta do is say 'kweh'! Or...or maybe 'wark'! Can you do that for me, Nibel? Come one...

Chic?

[Tifa sighs and looks up at the 'gear.]Cosmo, if

I've never heard one of my Pokémon say anything other than their names. Besides, a Doduo would make a better chocobo than this little one.

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

And people with whom you would like to visit them, I suppose?

I'm certain of it. No monster will be able to fight back against your fists. [Neither will Team Chaos!]

[video]

[savedinapinch]

Of course. As soon as get back home, I'm writing to Cloud, inviting Zack, and we'll look for Aerith and Yuffie. It'll be great.

[And now she's grinning like the happy little fifteen year old she is.] Yeah!

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

That sounds like a good travel party. Did you meet some of them in Johto?

How long have you been training?

[video]

[savedinapinch]

Yeah! I met Aerith and Yuffie here. But Zack apparently knows them both. And Yuffie says that we're all friends in the future!

About...two years now.

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

You'll have a few friendships to look forward to at home, then.

That's a very good start. Have you been practicing since you arrived in Johto?

[video]

[savedinapinch]

Mmm, it's exciting. I didn't have any friends who were girls in Nibelheim and all the boys left for the city a couple of years ago, so I can't wait!

I have! Every chance I get! [She looks mighty proud of herself.]

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

Were there any adults with whom you could spend your time, at least? Distant cousins, previous teachers?

You could try practicing with Fighting-type Pokémon. They could teach you new attacks.

[video]

[savedinapinch]

Yeah! I spent a lot of time with Papa and Master Zangan. [She grins]

Oh! I didn't think about that. I'll definitely try that out!

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

I suppose we adults cannot replace friends of a relatively close age, but it's good to know that you still had people to talk to.

I'd offer Firion as a training partner, but I fear he's not quite strong enough yet. [And indeed, the Riolu that peered at the screen upon hearing his name is rather young and small.]

[video]

[savedinapinch]

Hmm...yeah...it's just not the same...but I so long as I have Papa and Master Zangan, I'll be alright!

[She grins and waves] He's cute.

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

And you know you can look forward to all your future friends.

[Firion waves back shyly.] He's quite sweet, too. He does not train much, but I can tell he has a lot of potential.

[video]

[savedinapinch]

[She nods] He looks it. I bet he'll be a powerful pokémon soon enough.

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

When the time comes, he'll be able to match you punch for punch. He'll become the strongest Fighting-type in all of Johto! [Cecil, your 'bragging parent' side is showing.]

[video]

[savedinapinch]

Great! You'll have to let me spar with him when he gets there!

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

Of course. You'd enjoy that, would you not, Firion? [Apparently Firion would, because he's nodding determinedly.]
