[Hello PNG, there is a waiter with a pot leaf on his head green hair staring at the monitor. It looks like he's thinking. To make things less awkward, he smiles and gives a small wave.]

Yes, hello. You must forgive me, I'm not, uh, familiar with the PNG yet. My name is Cilan, and I'm one of the Gym Leaders from Striaton City. Cress, Chili and I

[ Oh hey, what great timing. Chili grins, his Simisear by his side offering a wave. ]

Cilan! Hey! You finally got one!

[striatonderp]

[If it isn't his brother? Cilan smiles and waves back to Simisear.]

Hi Chili! I wasn't sure if I would really get one but... well, here I am! Hahah, I need to get out more and meet new people. The PNG is really incredible, I wish I had one sooner!

Er, enough of my rambling, so how are you?

[incineratus]

I'm great! Johto's amazing! I can't believe I didn't get out of Unova sooner! [ He pauses for a moment. ] ... I'll be back home in a few days, if all goes well!

[striatonderp]

Cress and I can't wait for you to get back home, we've missed you! Congratulations on winning the Flight Races! I saw the whole thing on TV and... [We don't talk about Chili's wonderful speech. It never happened. Not in this household.] I'm very happy of you!

[Burgh waves at the camera, grinning.]

Hi there, Cilan. It's nice to hear you're going to start using this thingy. I don't get to see you nearly enough, so it's good to know I'll be able to connect with you through the PNG, so to speak.

Re: [video]

[striatonderp]

[Cilan returns the wave and smiles back, albeit sheepishly.]

Right! It's nice to see you too, Burgh. I've been meaning to visit Castelia City more It's so big... I would like to see more galleries. Art's sort of not my thing, but it's nice to look at.

[snickmyswitch]

Oh? [Burgh places his hands on his hips.] Well, if you ever set your mind to coming, let me know and I can meet with you. I'll be able to help you find whatever you need.

[video]

[striatonderp]

Really? Thanks a lot! I'm clueless when it comes to things like art, so I think I could use some help. I would just need to... look at my schedule. To check when I have time off.

[poketraveler]

Wait, wait--! {{cue excited frantic turning on of feeds and more excitement and there! Leaf's face appears!}} So wait, you're Chili's brother?

All I have left to meet then is Cress!

Oh, right, I'm Leaf, from Pallet Town in Kanto. Nice to meet you!

[striatonderp]

[Who's this girl? Cilan was seeking out to meet new faces.]

Nice to meet you, Leaf!

Um, yes, I'm Chili's brother. Cress will be charmed to meet you, I'm sure. Anyway, Kanto sounds exciting. I've never been to another region before... What are the Pokemon like there?

[poketraveler]

Oh, you should come! The Pokemon are totally awesome - and our cities are pretty too. We might not be the most... high-tech of regions, but we're still awesome.

But I'm gonna be coming to Unova sometime, no worries. Gotta meet all of you gym leaders, right?

[striatonderp]

Yeah. It's always a pleasure to meet trainers from outside Unova.

I think that sounds like a real adventure. I'd like to travel someday, but I might get homesick. ...Then I start to think of all the Pokemon I could see, especially the grass Pokemon.

[Falkner is seen with his arms folded and standing straight and formal while facing the camera.] Greetings, Cilan. I have briefly spoken with your brother, er, Cress, I believe. It is an honor to meet more esteemed gym leaders from other regions. I see you train different types within your gym instead of focusing on one type; quite impressive.

Oh, allow me to introduce myself. I am Falkner, the gym leader of Violet City in the Johto region. I welcome you to visit if you have the chance to travel.

[video]

[striatonderp]

[Cress, when did your hair get less stupid?]

Greetings. Nice meeting you too, Falkner. ...Oh, um, thank you very much! Compared to our fellow Gym Leaders, I still feel novice sometimes. In fact, I think it's more of an honor to speak with you. I've heard good things about Johto.

My brothers and I specialize, but we're always training hard and battling each other. We want to become even better Gym Leaders.

[surpass]

The other Striaton gym leader.

[N seems relatively unfazed. The other two brothers seemed surprisingly alright. Chances were, Cilan was probably just fine, too. He is a little more trusting than he used to be.]

I've already met... Chili and Cress, I believe. You may or may not have heard of me.

[video]

[striatonderp]

[Cilan blinked. Something about this man seemed a little familiar. He remembered hearing all about the Team Plasma drama years back but he wasn't going to just assume... Besides, things must be better anyway.]

Yes, that's correct. We're triplets. I think it's neat that I finally get to meet people my brothers know.

Oh, um... I'm sorry, you are...?

Re: [video]

[surpass]

I suppose that is why the PNG is this useful to people.

[Oh, he might not even remember the Plasma shenanigans. WELL THEN.]

N. I'm merely a Pokemon Trainer.

Re: [video]

[striatonderp]

Oh, heh, right. Er, I state the obvious, don't I?

[Yep, the name is really ringing a bell. Ah, the Team Plasma wank drama. Who was Cilan to interfere or say anything? That would be rude, especially after 3 years! He pretends to not make the connection.]

...N? Ah hm, nice to meet you! You're always welcomed to stop by the Striaton Gym and Cafe if you ever want a meal... or a Pokemon battle!
