[The video opens in medias res, with a casual conversation going on in the Olivine Pokémon Center. It's not quite loud enough to hear any of the words, though. After a second or two, Chie orients the video on herself.]

Oh, hey, has anybody else noticed how the gym leaders are a little... weird? Me and my friends all challenged Jasmine today, so we could get the Surf TM and cross Route... 42, I think it was? And Jasmine gave us all the same lines from beginning to end. She was all like, "Properly tempered steel won't be made rusty by things like this!" And "You are a better trainer than me, in both skill and kindness." Like she was reading off a script or something!

But anyway, we all made it! I got Ecruteak's badge too, when we stopped there on Friday, so I'm up to four! [Chie shows off two badges to the camera.]

For anybody who's following our quest to rescue Souji-kun, we're leaving first thing tomorrow morning on the way back to Ecruteak. And from there, it's through Mahogany and on to the Ice Path! Just hold on, Souji-kun, we won't make you wait too much longer!

I wonder.

[ calmly. ]

No looking up, mister.

[ mock-sternly, because Fuji really isn't the type to peek up skirts at all, but she's quick to scale the ladder and carefully maneuver herself from ladder to roof. ]

[just chuckles.] Well, good luck with that.

Thanks! I'll keep at it.

I don't know all of it, really...

Only to be caught by a merciless breeder who only wished to capture it for breeding purposes! Day and night, the ditto stares balefully out from its small enclosed cage as it watches others ditto roam free and wild. And one day...

I solemnly swear that I shall do no such thing.

[the straightest face, though he does look away. there are some things in the world he really doesn't need to see. and when he feels her weight lift from the ladder, he starts climbing up himself, keeping an eye on the door down below every once in a while to check for pursuers.

judging from the amount of noise in the center, nobody will be checking on them anytime soon. he does, however, take up the ladder with him as he settles himself on the roof, just as a precaution.]

[ it takes a minute to get her balance, but after a minute, Rise seems well settled and eying the view with a look of interest. ] Wow... it's not the lighthouse, but the view's not bad at all.

Rooftops have the best vantage points, I find. I do want to find my way up that lighthouse sometime, though.

Me, too... ugh, if we weren't on such a tight schedule...

One day it decides to escape, using its wit and cleverness. So it concocts a Plan~

... Trying to get tanned...

He-hey, it's not like I'd do that if I wasn't, you know?

There'll be other days, I think. Unless you were planning on skipping out on swing practice for that?

And fun.

A daring plan that involves three cups of coffee, seventeen toothpicks and a spatula, if I may add. Very enterprising.

Speaking from personal experience?

... just a little bit. [twists his arm around and continues to inspect it thoughtfully]

And let Yukimura-san down? Pass.

So what's your point here?

... Keep working at it, you're bound to see results.

Heh. Guess I should spend more time on the beach, huh?

It's a good time to practice.

Hop to it!

You're really missing out, though! No beach for your while you're on your rescue mission.
