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.

Well, things look quite shaken up today... Hopefully everyone is fine?

[Unlike other people, who are panicking, or running around, or following legendary pokémon, or fighting with superpowers, Lion is right here at the tea house. Preparing tea. A Lucario (that's Alyssa) seems to be helping out with the preparations.

Lion smiles a bit at the pokégear, while brewing some tea.]

With so many people arriving, I thought that maybe treating everyone to some tea would be a good welcome.

So if anyone is in Goldenrod, feel free to come by to have some free tea and cupcakes. The teahouse is called "The Steaming Teapot" and it's close to the Pokémon Center.

[This is Lion, ladies and gentlemen. Living a normal life, and of course making business, on Fourth Wall weekend xD]

OOC NOTE: Well, here we go. Anyone can come for free tea and food. Because that's how Lion rolls during fourth wall. And all the time. Anyone who is living in the teahouse (Beato, Maria and Will) may feel free to threadjack, just ask the thread owner? xD

[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.]

[Hello Johto! Today in the wonderful adventures of Lion in Johto, we can see the pokémart from outside. Also, a lot of rain. And a Lucario with an umbrella.

Oh, and under the same umbrella, there is one Lion so get in the car.]

Good afternoon, everyone. It has been raining for a while, hasn't it? At least there have been no other side effects, unlike the last times it rained. Hopefully the rainy weather will have subsided by the time we reach Halloween. It would be a shame for it to ruin the celebrations.

But I suppose getting to the point is important right now. If by then the rain has stopped, my group will be flying to Goldenrod on the sixteenth, to join the Halloween celebrations there. As we have less people than we used to, we have a few extra spots, so we wouldn't mind taking two or three more passengers.

The trip shouldn't take longer than two days by flying, so feel free to let me know if you'd like to join us.

[And Lion is back to shopping for the trip. Even if you don't have CR, feel free to hop on the trip if you want a fast ride from Azalea to Goldenrod, Lion is all for meeting new people.]


[LOCKED FROM MISTER WILLARD, open to everyone else in the universe XD]

For those who know him, Will's birthday is coming on the fifteenth. He probably hasn't told anyone, but feel free to congratulate him, I'm sure he will appreciate the thought.

About that, has anyone read or at least seen any mystery novel in Johto that doesn't feel like a pokémon version of one of the novels in other worlds? Or at least any novel that is unique to Johto? I do have a backup plan, but I'd really like to give him a book he hasn't read yet as a gift.
