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.]

Ditto?

[W-well. It looks more like the drawing than the real Sakutaro, but you can't ask too much of a Ditto xD]

[ action ]

[uuing]

[ ... staring.. ]

Uu-... This Sakutaro looks a little bit different, doesn't Lion think so too..?

[ action ]

[isthedeadcat]

[Lion chuckles a bit at that.]

It looks a little more like your picture, doesn't he? Ennis probably doesn't remember too well, but still did its best to do it.

[ action ]

[uuing]

Maria guesses Ennis did his best, so.. uu-, Ennis is a good kid.

[ reaching over to pat the Ditto badly drawn Sakutaro clone on the head.. ]

[isthedeadcat]

[Scribbletaro is happy, Maria xD]

It's really nice to see a hard-working pokémon, isn't it?

[ action ]

[uuing]

Of course Lion's Pokémon would be hard-working though, uu-! They're like Lion!

[ action ]

[isthedeadcat]

We all do our best, right Ennis?

Ditto!!

[ action ]

[uuing]

Uu-, Maria will do her best too..! Will work just as hard as Lion and Lion's Pokémon for sure!

[ action ]

[isthedeadcat]

Then I'm sure you will eventually achieve all your goals.

Ah, that reminds me... I was thinking of going back to traveling a bit once spring arrives. Are you interested in coming with us, or would you prefer to stay here?

[Because of course Maria is a big girl and she can choose those things. Kind of.]

[ action ]

[uuing]

[ Are you abandoning a nine year old, Lion.. ]

... Uu-. Want to go with Lion. Lion's Maria's family here, after all..

[ action ]

[isthedeadcat]

[Never in the life, just wanted to give Maria the chance to make her own Grown Up choice. She's a big girl now. Almost 10.]

I'm really happy to hear that... We wanted to visit the beach in Olivine and maybe even take the ferry, would you like that?

[ action ]

[uuing]

[ So grown up. ]

Uu-, Maria wants to visit the beach in summer! Want to go and swim, or build sandcastles, just like back home..!

[ action ]

[isthedeadcat]

Then we can do that. We still have to teach Beatrice to make a sandcastle, remember?

[ action ]

[uuing]

Maria will teach her how to build the best sandcastles! They'll reach all the way up to the clouds, uu-uu-!

[ action ]

[isthedeadcat]

If we really manage to get a castle that tall, let's remember to show it to everyone.

We will spend there a while, so we can have plenty of time to work on our sandcastle-building technique.
