[The transmission starts with a little shaking and some purple gooey thing moving all over, before the camera settles. We are currently in the pokémart, and Lion is doing important stuff. And by that I mean shopping. There is also a Lucario with a shopping basket who seems to be carrying some of the groceries too.
A very happy "Ditto!!" comes from behind the camera, and Lion turns to look at it.]

Thank you, Ennis, and good afternoon Johto.

First of all, I wanted to thank everyone who assisted to the Ice Cream party, and also to those who had the thought but couldn't make it. The party wouldn't have been such a success without all of you.
It was the perfect chance to meet new and old acquaintances in person too, so I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did.

I know it has been a while since I last spoke to many of you, and I apologize, but I was handling the last preparations for our departure. We are planning to leave for Goldenrod, and for that we'll take the road trough Azalea even if just to see the city.

If things go as planned and if everyone is fine with it, we should be departing next week or the following one, so if anyone is interested in making the same way and do not wish to make it alone, feel free to get in contact with me, I'd be glad to help, and traveling is much easier in groups.

Does anyone have any warnings regarding the road? I'd like to be as prepared as possible.

[For the rest of the day, Lion can be found shopping for supplies for the trip... It's actually a huge amount of supplies, as the group is bound to get kind of big.]

[OOC: All Seacats cast members who are still in Violet can assume Lion has already invited them to make the way to Azalea together. Everyone else, feel free to join in, since that's how Lion rolls.]

She has a long and difficult story... I know a bit about it, but as it is hers, I don't feel I have the right to share it.

With time, I'm certain you will come to understand her a little more.

Hmm, I can accept that. I hope she'll share it with me someday.

But - of course you would know [she laughs a little], you're the kind of person everyone goes to with their problems or trusts with their secrets, aren't you?

[or maybe you are her in another timeline, whatever, same thing]

[S-sob, grandma xDDD. Lion chuckles a little at that.] I always try to help people when possible, but in the case of Beatrice, it wasn't her who told me of the story...

[Are we getting a headache yet? XD]

Oh, is that so? So there's someone else I need to convince, then? [laugh]

[yyyyup. Grandma's not slow, but that's something that's hard to take in... xD]

It would be best to try to convince Beatrice directly. The person who caused me to learn all of this wasn't exactly doing it out of kindness.

Fortunately, she is not in Johto.

...It sounds pretty complicated. I think I will ask her sometime, I just don't know when...

Don't worry too much about it... Even if her story is complicated, she herself is easy to get along with once you manage to see trough the surface.

I'll try to keep that in mind, it seemed that way, but so far she's only tried to confuse me more.

She is very protective of her truth and her story... So she puts up that kind of attitude to discourage people.

She did the same to grandfather, but they eventually managed to come to terms.

[she nods, wondering what exactly 'her story' could be, thought she understands the reasoning.]

So Kinzo knows, then? I guess it makes sense that he would be part of it, so she would have to explain to him eventually...

I don't know how much Beatrice told him, to be sincere, but he must know at least a little.
