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

[Hello Place-that-shouldn't-be-called-just-Johto-anymore, greeting you today is an image that hasn't been seen for a while now. That's Lion. Still alive. Still in Goldenrod.

And from what we can see, Lion seems to be re-organizing the tea house since most things are in boxes.]

Good afternoon, everyone.

The weather has been getting more and more difficult to manage, hasn't it? And it is a bad time, with a wave of newcomers just hitting New Bark town, too.

So if I can offer my help to anyone, please let me know. I have quite a few Flying-types and I don't mind sending supplies or even offering a ride to anyone back there. Just let me know.

[The pokégear moves a little and a quiet "Ditto!" can be heard coming from behind, there are a few seconds of signal loss, static included, before Lion picks the Gear up and puts it on a table, checking it to see if it is failing or anything.

In the trip to the table, in the background a Slowpoke can be seen (that's Yosuke, for the ones who met him before) and a bunch of cat-like pokémon all over the place.

Still, Lion hasn't said a word about the two suspicious absences.]

Has anyone else had any problems with their PokéGears lately? It may be due to the heavy snow, but I don't remember ever having any trouble with that before.

Nonetheless, please take good care, if we are lucky the weather will have calmed down by Christmas... Hopefully everyone will be able to spend this time with the people they hold dear.

[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.]

[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.]

[See newborn pokémon.
See newborn pokémon run around the room.
Run, newborn pokémon, run.]

Good afternoon Johto!

[Lion is currently sitting on the bed, besides a blanket nest with two identical eggs. Julia, the Hoothoot is still perched on the bedpost, with only one eye open, while a tiny Charmander and a tiny Skarmory are chasing each other all over the room.]

After some waiting, two of the babies have been born. They are quite the active pair, they have been playing for about two hours and it seems they don't have plans on stopping.

The third one appears to be taking his time, however.

Does anyone have any wisdom regarding the raising of newborn pokémon other than the obvious need of love, discipline and attention? I'd like to hear everyone's output on this.

[And it's then that tiny Skarmory starts flying, tiny Charmander falls down while trying to catch him and the transmission cuts when Lion quickly drops the pokégear to go pick the baby up.]

[Good afternoon, Johto. When the transmission starts, a boy-- gir-- Lion can be seen fixing the pokégear to make sure it stays upright.

Afterward, Lion moves back a little and smiles.]

Good afternoon, everyone. [Have a small bow from the kneeling Lion.]

My name is Lion and I have recently arrived to this place, it's a pleasure to meet you all. I have taken some time to read all the handbooks I found in my backpack, and while I understand what they say about this world and pokémon, I would be really thankful if anyone could provide any information on how or why we were brought here.


[Some noises can be heard from outside of the screen, Lion moves a little and shows the squiggly purple source of the noise to the screen.] This is Ditto, my pokémon. Ditto, say hello to everyone.

[The Ditto readily waves at the camera, whatever happened in the time while Lion was reading the handbooks clearly was traumatic enough to ensure a well educated pokémon.]

Once again, I am grateful for any information that can be supplied, and if anyone is close to Route 29, I will be glad to provide any assistance I can.


[Lion hasn't changed clothes yet as it is cold, so there are a big bunch of one-winged eagles all over Lion's clothing, you people who are aware of the Ushiromiya family can feel free to feel weirded out.

The rest of you blissfully unaware people, I envy you, so feel free to come and poke Lion very very hard |D]
