[The video opens on a Ditto, who seems to look a little sheepish. Behind it is everyone's favorite female kick-favoring martial artist, Chie, looking extremely irritated. She grabs the sides of the Ditto's face and stretches it out, then lets go, allowing it to snap back into place.]

Souji-kun. [Yikes, that's a cold tone. Streeeetch... Snap. Chie keeps doing this through the rest of the paragraph.] I left half my team in the room to relax, 'cause I wanted to get some one-on-one time in with a few of them. And when I got back, I found a certain Pokémon had snuck into my room while I was out. [Streeeetch... Snap.] You really need to do something about this thing.

Anyone else who's listening... Well, I guess I've got some eggs to sell! [She sighs and gestures to the side, and whoever's holding the camera turns it to show off a pile of Pokémon eggs. Looks like there's about 8 or 9 of them.] I know most of 'em are Snorunt eggs, and the other ones... I think they're gonna be either Tyrogues or Shuppets. I'd probably rather have cash, but then again, if you've got a cool egg sitting around, we can make a trade too. Let me know!

[The camera turns toward Chie again.] That's about all on my end. I know I've been quiet lately, but after the whole... bug thing... [She suppresses a shudder.] Figure a little peace and quiet is a good thing for once. Later.

[OOC: Egg post! For everybody who responded in my OOC post, your eggs are ready! That is... Rise/Asuka, Fuji, John & Rose, Hinagiku, Rin, and 410, if my list is correct.]

Yeah, that would be pretty cool, actually.

[Pauses, looking down at the Vulpix with a frown.] Kind of, yeah. Hokuto - this Vulpix - she was, uh... Sumeragi-san's. But he's gone missing. Like, can't reach him over the network or anything either. I came out of my room this morning and she was alone and upset. So... I guess he's gone now.

[That gets a wince.] Ouch. Friend you made on the way here? That stinks. And here I thought she was just your Easter egg or something.

[She reaches out to Hokuto tentatively, letting her sniff her hand before attempting to pet her.] It's rough for everybody when people go home, huh? I met Sandy and Rinty both after their trainers left, but I didn't know them before. [And then there's Yukiko, who showed up and vanished before Chie could even meet up with her... Sigh.]

Yeah, we showed up around the same time, so we hung out a bunch.

[Hokuto sniffs, nuzzling against Chie's hand. She could use some affection right now.] Yeah. I mean, it sucks for us, but can you imagine how it feels for these guys? It's gotta be like... I dunno, losing a parent or something.

[Can you tell he's been thinking about this all morning?] Guess at least it's good when there's people nearby to help them out, huh.

Oh, wow, she's warm. [Poor thing. Hokuto is getting all the scritches. All of them.] Yeah, you're right. They're so much smarter than pets back home, so... It really must be like that for them.

[She leans in close to the little Vulpix, still petting her affectionately.] Don't worry, Hokuto-chan, Yosuke'll take good care of you. And if he doesn't, you just come right to me and I'll set him straight!

[Hokuto makes a sound akin to purring, she likes this. Yosuke, on the other hand...]

Oh come on! Don't start putting ideas in her head that I'll be bad at this!

[She snickers, giving him a teasing grin.]

I'm just letting her know she has more people she can count on, that's all! Train her well and it won't be a problem.

[Furrows his brow. He's not that bothered by it.]

I'll train her fine! Ge-geeze... I'm pretty okay at this, you know.

[Well, good! Chie isn't about to admit it, but this is all friendly teasing, of course. She'd feel bad if it actually did bother him.]

Oh, yeah? So how's your team looking so far? Don't think I've seen your full roster yet.

It's... pretty full, considering. [He laughs.] I mean, you can see 'em if you want. Just, uh... be forewarned. They're all kind of weird.

Sure, why not? Haha, I've got a few weird ones myself.

Well, you really want to... [He laughs, reaching to his belt and taking out the Pokéballs. After a minute, he lets out the crew, sans Rotom egg. Hope you like crazy Pokémon, Chie!]

[Those are some weird ones indeed. She tenses up a little at her namesake, of course, and the little Surskit also makes her squirm a little. But the others aren't too bad, and the Starly is especially cute.] Not bad! I haven't seen most of these kinds before.

Whoa, really? I figured most of these were kind of common. [Sorry, Chie. Yosuke's Pokémon are a little crazy. Prepare from an oncoming set of excited bounces from her namesake, who is extremely excited to meet her.]
