Never giving up on the chance of a Miracle...

[Today, we open the video feed to see this: :). Yes, that's a ditto.

After a moment the Ditto moves away, to let the rest of the scene be seen. Lion is sitting under a tree's shade right at the beginning of Route 32. Violet City can be seen close by, so it's clear there is still no intention at all of leaving town. Surprising pretty much nobody.
Sitting on Lion's right side and with several implements for preparing tea, we have a very very focused Riolu. We also have a small fire, and a teapot.
And in the background, attempting to dig a hole, there is a Gible, who doesn't notice a thing about this video feed. There is also a Houndoom running around the woods (which explains the fire), but that one cannot be seen in the video feed.]

Good afternoon, Johto.

When I was in Cherrygrove, I had the good fortune of trying some teas that I hadn't ever tried before. I suppose it's only natural that a different world than my own would also have new and different plants and blends.

[At that, Alyssa the Riolu gets up, running to check on the water being boiled.]

I must admit that I have been a bit selfish. But with all the comments about strange vivid dreams, and all the ominous signals of something big coming to us soon, I though that maybe I could share my little secret with everyone.

I have been reading about the herbs used for tea since I arrived to Violet, and I found that one of them is particularly good as a relaxant, and can help people who have trouble falling asleep or who have nightmares.
There seem to be no secondary effects either, so there won't be chances of suddenly falling asleep during work or training.

If anyone is interested in finding about it, I won't mind to share the information I have, just let me know.


[There is a pause here before Lion resumes the talking, this time with a much more serious expression.]

I would like to also ask everyone to be very careful in the next few days, and if possible to avoid being alone or in the roads. I know those who have been here for longer won't have any trouble recognizing the signals, but I wouldn't like the newer people to end up getting in trouble because of this.

Also, if anyone has any information, I would be really thankful if it could be shared with everyone.


[And now, another smile and a polite nod of the head.] And that should be everything. I hope everyone is doing well, even if the heat may be a little too much.

( Privateeee. )

[For all who are out today, Lion is currently sitting in a bench in front of the library in Violet, book in hand, enjoying the fact that the weather is not going mad on us right now.

The pokeshow includes another book identical to the one Lion has (oh, Ditto), a Dragonair with a long blue ribbon who is currently taking most of the bench, and a Riolu who is very very seriously dealing with the packaging of a lollipop.]

Hello everyone. There has been a huge number of people showing the newest additions to their teams, so I thought I could do likewise.

Over there, discovering candy is Alyssa. She hatched last night, and woke everyone up. [Chuckles...] She's a lovely girl, and a quick learner, even if a little too curious. My team has grown quite a bit, so I will have to reorganize the training sessions...

[Meanwhile, Alyssa managed to open her lollipop. Have you ever seen happiness? This Riolu's face is the purest definition of it.]

This weather is perfect to read outside, isn't it?

I'm really enjoying my time in Violet. The library is a great place to spend time, and there appears to be many more books to read than expected. I would recommend it to anyone who has a bit of free time, as there are enough books to cater to all tastes.

Hopefully everyone is enjoying the good weather as we are.

[Have a smile, Johto, as Lion cuts the transmission.]
