[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.~~]

_{[>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.

Aww, thanks for being so gentle with me.

Next time, no more Mr. Nice Guy.

_{[She folds her arms for a second to give Rise a stern glare ... then opens said arms for a hug.]}

[ and Rise instantly throws herself at Heather for that promised hug. ] Long time, no see!

_{[YOU ASKED FOR IT-- Heather proceeds to give one of those HA-HA rib-cracking embraces that usually only teenage boys trying to one-up their relatives give.]}

I thought I was rid of you forever! Now I'll just have to be so annoying that you leave again.

[ YOU'RE SO ABUSIVE ;A; Rise lets out an indignant squeaky noise, enduring this only because she doesn't have much of a say in the matter. ]

If you break my ribs, I'm not going to be able to go anywhere--!

_{[DAMN STRAIGHT SHE DOESN'T. If a Heather wanted to hug somebody, she was gonna do it! She does let go after a moment or two, beaming.]}

Aw well, I forgive you so it doesn't matter anyway.

[ dramatic sigh. ] I'm only here for the day, anyway.

Really? Where you headed after that?

Long story and a lot of walking short, the Ice Path.

... JEEZ. That's... that's like on the other side of the continent. What're you going there for?

To pick up our leader! He got tossed there whenever that... weird weekend happened!

Really? The uh-- Souji, right? What a shitty place to wind up...

It's his second time, too.

... Poor guy.

At least his Pokemon must be stronger at this point, right?

Well, he's only got his Skarmory right now...
