[No video for you today, Johto, but there is some shuffling of feet, rustling of papers, and otherwise standard white-noise sounds of occupancy heralding you as this post first begins. There's also a light pitter-patter of padded paws across the carpet and, if one listens very closely, the faint trill of a particularly smug, self-important Espeon. That doesn't last for long, though, because soon enough there's a soft thump, and shortly thereafter Yagyuu's voice comes in—]

Lady, this is the third time—

[Another pleased trill.]

What's gotten into you lately? You've been underfoot for days, you've chased Masako, you bit Hirochii, I know you've been harassing Sudoku when you think I'm not watching—what? What is it. What are you trying to—

[Footsteps. A pause. A pause that drags on into awkward, disbelieving eternity.]

...You really felt it necessary to make your point six times over?

[There is a pleased trill from the world's smuggest Espeon, and the audio fades out; later, a text appears on the network.]

At the risk of attributing far too much credit to these Pokemon of ours, has anyone happened to notice them occasionally displaying motives that appear to be almost unsettlingly human in nature?

It was at least, but the danger had passed by the time I came here. Well, my friends are here, so that gives me something to be optimistic about, I suppose.

Yes. Most of them are on the other side of Johto, though, so I'm making my way over there.

Yes, though a few of them are currently travelling and were in Olivine when I last spoke to them.

I'm not sure, we don't really celebrate Christmas as much as New Year.

Yes, that's true.

Oh! You mean Souji-kun and Yosuke-kun?

They're my friends from back home.

Rise-chan? Yes, I do. Are you friends with her?

They are nice people. Does that mean you know Chie and Kanji-kun too?

Oh?

I think she usually does live there, yes.

Would I know this mutual friend?

If you know the others, then I'm sure they will.

Oh, I see. He and Rise-chan met here then, I take it?

When she gets back, I'm sure you will, yes.

I know that feeling a little too well.

I think seeing my friends in person may help with that too. It's just been me and my pokemon so far.

I think most of them have been too busy to at the moment, Christmas is soon, isn't it? I'm sure they'll come meet me when I'm at a safer place.

I'll be alright until then.
