Good afternoon everyone!

It has been a while since I last made a transmission, but the raising of pokémon can be quite time consuming when you have five children to look after.

[Oh, and talking about said children, there they are in the background. The Skarmory seems to be bragging about something to the Dratini (who is wearing a pretty pink ribbon in her neck)...]

I have been here for almost seven weeks now, and I have talked to many who want to go back and others who do not, or are not certain.

[And uh. Now Dratini is slapping Skarmory. With her tail. And somehow the Skarmory with all his awesome metal plating is being owned by her.

Charmander is of course on the side. Laughing the flame of his tail off.]

It's nothing but mere curiosity, but do you want to stay or do you want to leave?

I suppose it's only correct for me to start by saying that I am planning on staying in Johto for as long as I am able to. I find this place fascinating, and I wish to see as much of it as possible.

How about you?

I do have a few... Do you want me to talk about it now?

[Good thing you can't see his face.]

Whenever you want to. I know you're busy.

Do you mind if I change the gear to audio?

I don't mind at all. I'm doing the same, right?

[aaand more battle bgm.]

Well, but you seem to be quite busy with your training so it only makes sense...

[There is picking pokégear up noises, and then walking noises, and Giselle noises.]

Trisa and Maeve are just playing around.

...

[Sitting in the bed noises, and then more Giselle noises, and Lion chuckles.]

Yes, you can stay here.

[Then setting the pokégear in the night table noises, and then a short pause, with lots of happy dratini noises.]

Hmm... What kind of story should I tell you? Any special participants?

~~[w-what are they doing in there oh god]~~

Whatever comes to your mind... I'd like to know what your happy memories are.

[Lion is sitting on the bed and petting Giselle who is on Lion's right side xDDDD]

My happy memories... I think my oldest happy memory is one of my birthdays... I was five at that time.

I'm listening...

I remember that Jessica had been behaving quite sneaky the two or three days before my birthday. And I remember thinking quite hard about it and not understanding why.

[Chuckles a little...] I knew how to be quite an unperceptive five year old...

The word you're looking for is "normal".

[Chuckles...]

I wouldn't say that, it was quite obvious after all.

In the morning of my birthday she barged into my room when I was still asleep... She said she wanted to be the first to greet me and that she had made me a gift.

...sounds like her. What did she give you?

She had been making a drawing of all the family... She even asked mother to tell her how to write a dedicatory on the top part of it.

She was such an adorable little sister back then... Probably because she didn't know how to be rude. [Playful sigh xD]

[Can't help but laugh. Oh, his tomboyish cousin.]

The only being in the world capable of breaking my jaw. Give her some credit.

Oh I do, that is quite impressive. Terribly rude, but impressive.

And then? What happened?

She was all smiles when I told her that I knew it would be the best gift that I would ever receive. She bragged about it for the remainder of the day.

I still keep that drawing among my important papers... Jessica always complains about me still having it around, but I don't think she really means it.

[There is silence in the feed, Lion. You can still hear Battler's pokemon, so it's obvious he's still there.]

[And Lion keeps silent too at that... K-kinda missing little sister now.

:(]

...tell me something that makes you smile everytime?

The fond memories I have of everyone...

Even when things are going wrong, and even when I can't ever go back to most of them... Those memories are one of my most important treasures.

The one thing no one can take away, huh...

Only oneself can take it away.
