16. A year went by... [Video/Action for Goldenrod] (Backdated to yesterday, yep.)

[isthedeadcat]

[Hello Johto, have a Lion.

Yep, Lion us currently sitting in a bench, outside even if it is a little too cold. To their right, there is a very happy, very eager, very very very purple, adorable ditto-blob who just won't stop smiling and blobbing around.]

When I arrived here, it was snowing.

But now it's been a year since I made my first transmission on the pokégear. Since then many things have happened, and I was able to meet people and friends I wouldn't have met otherwise.

Ditto!!!

So I wanted to thank all the people I have had the pleasure of talking to, even those who are now gone and cannot listen to me. Thank you for making my time here such a perfect one.

Dit-Ditto!!! [Lion chuckles, and pets the Ditto's uh. Head.]

Of course, I was talking about you too.


[Lion then turns back to the pokégear with a most important message.] Please everyone make sure of wearing appropriate clothing for this weather, it is still cold outside and we wouldn't want anyone to get sick.

[And so, the transmission is over.

For those in Goldenrod, Lion's Ditto is turning into all kinds of inanimate objects, like books, balls, and rocks. Feel free to wonder why Lion is talking to a rock that is sitting on a bench.]

[...Haruhi remembers you.

Somewhat.] You've been here for a year, huh?

[audio]

[isthedeadcat]

[Lion remembers Haruhi, she was the girl with the dratini eggs, after all xD]

Yes. It has been a good year.

[ video ]

[carefreeme]

A year, huh? So people can be stuck here for a whole year... hm.

[ video ]

[isthedeadcat]

Some have been here even longer.

[ video ]

[carefreeme]

Eh? No joke? What do you do when you're stuck here that long? Doesn't traveling around get a bit boring?

[ action ]

[uuing]

[ Don't mind Maria over here, Lion. She's just lightly poking the Ditto.

... He's sort of wiggly, so it's fun. ]

[ action ]

[isthedeadcat]

[Sob, Maria xD

The Ditto is now turning into a rock. Hope you can survive that.]

[parkour]

How quickly time passes, hm?

[isthedeadcat]

Certainly. Even more when you are enjoying yourself.

[seasaltkeys]

So it's been a year for you to, huh?

[isthedeadcat]

That's right. It's been a good year, all in all.

[takechuhome]

Wow, it's really been that long? Hauu, that Ditto is adorable and squishy, hehe.

[isthedeadcat]

It has. It's really impressive when I look back.

[Upon mention of the Ditto, Lion pokes it, making it squiggle a little.] This is Ennis, he was my starter.

[ Action ]

[nevermagica]

[ And wonder she does. what a strange person, to talk to a rock... but Hitomi has seen rock-shaped Pokemon. Curious, she walks by... and slows her pace as she passes to try to get a good look. Only to stop, embarrassed by her rude behavior. ]

Ah-. My apologies, I was just wondering... is that a Pokemon?

[ Action ]

[isthedeadcat]

[It's not just a rock, is the best rock xD]

There is no need to apologize. Yes, this is Ennis. [With that, Lion carefully tickles the rock, which turns into a purple blob.]

Ditto!

[gochuugoku]

[China is definitely dressed in warm clothing for this season. A red scarf wrapped around his neck. Using his crutches and careful with his bad leg, he approaches Lion with a smiling face.]

Oh, so it is your one year anniversary now?

action

[isthedeadcat]

Yes, though I actually arrived on the tenth of January, today is a year since I made my first transmission over the pokégear.

[Lion moves a little, in order to make some space in the bench, just in case of China wanting to take a seat.]

[action]

[fathersbeloved]

[brb poking the Ditto. Smiles at Lion, she's standing behind the bench, playing with Ennis.]

You too have met wonderful people here, am I wrong?

[action]

[isthedeadcat]

[Ennis loves you, Beato.

It squiggles and is adorable and wiggly and squishy and cute and all the adjectives ever.]

Ditto!

[video]

[combat_butler]

Ah... You've been here for a year now, Lion-san?

... ... I guess this means I've just about known you for that long...

[video]

[isthedeadcat]

The first time I talked with you, I had just arrived to Cherrygrove. [A smile.]

So yes, it's almost been a year since we first spoke... We have gone a long way since then, haven't we?

{Action} yeaaaaaah

[bamfsecretary]

{She is peering at that ditto rock/ball/umbrella so suspiciously. But then she decides to pay more attention to the owner of this... object instead.}

Lion-san. You're looking well.

{Action} yaaaay!!

[isthedeadcat]

It's been a good day, fortunately. I hope you are feeling fine, as well.

[Ahahaha, umbreditto is the best ditto.]

[the_whitequeen]

Lion, it's been a while ...

I understand how you feel. It doesn't feel like I've been here six months either.

video;

[isthedeadcat]

Lacus, it's good to see you well.

I remember being impressed about the people who had been here for nine months when I first arrived... But I can see now that it is not as much of a long time.
