[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!

[OOC: You may have already won the chance to be tagged by others in Chie's traveling group! This is a limited-time offer, so comment today! ~~Or any time, really.~~]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

I'd call this improvising.

[ she won't even comment that she's in a skirt.

Just for you, Heather. But you can have a grin instead. ]

Sorry, but you're pretty slow today, Heather.

. . .

If I call you cute at a later date with nothing leading up to it, will you believe I mean it then?

_{[The camera shakes as she walks.]}

HEY. Just for that, I'm gonna bust in the door and then just beat everybody up, without even saying hi.

Just for that remark.

She might even get more fans out of it.

Trained trainers, huh...

I missed you, too.

Huh? I know you meant it, your timing just needs work.

[ ... with a straight face, no less. ]

_{[Heather sticks her tongue out at the camera before turning it off so she can jog the rest of the way-- she shows up at the entrance to the lobby a few minutes later, puffing.]

[And once through the doorway, she puts her hands on her hips.]}

OKAY. Who do I gotta beat up?

... that's funny, I actually held a full conversation with her. I've had several with her since, too.

Um... In any case, congratulations! And... good luck!

[ yes, go ahead and punch this cheerily smiling idol trotting your way. ]

Not the face, okay?

Does she get any fans now?

... Hmm. I must wonder if the one from Goldenrod and her... temper tantrum are scripted as well.

...now that I think about it, I've been on my own most times, too. [Then he frowns.] Wait--but Whitney's responded to everyone differently every time.

[He blinks, looking at Rise.] Her Gear number? Why would he want that?

See, that's why I'm not gonna listen to those stupid gym leaders and just battle them!

Guys who think she's cute?

_{[>8( Heather scrunches up her face as Rise approaches, then turns and does a really lame, half-assed spin kick that like... doesn't even hit. GRR.]}

... Ow.

[ deadpan. ]

And there's more where that came from, so you'd better be grateful that I'm such a good person.

. . .

[GIVING HER A LOOK NOW]

[ INNOCENCE. ]

-- when did you get here, anyway?

Aww, thanks for being so gentle with me.

Today!

[taking a sweeping bow and twisting his wrist to produce a yellow flower for her~]

Welcome back to Olivine!
