[backdated to 24th oops] video

[ When the video turns on in the very early morning, there's only half a face present before it comes up fully onto the screen. The boy is practically beaming at the journal, and there's only a second before-- ]

Ivysaur evolved!

[ Yes. He couldn't keep that excitement in. He's still got a really dumb smile on and he has to remember what he was going to say, a pause there before he continues. ]

If you don't know what an ivysaur is, they're a grass and poison type pokémon! Ivysaur's been with me since she was a bulbasaur and now she's huge! She's big! She's nearly as big as Snorlax is!

[ The camera faces down to a dusty ground, then comes back up. ] I'm going to show you her, okay? [ And then the book flips around, showing a large, blueish-greenish toad-skin looking monster with a flower protruding from her back from the front, standing at 6'10 (for those who can tell). She leans her head to the side, her mouth opening slightly and showing her fangs as she grunts a small sound. She's embarrassed by the fuss, but the yellow rodent at her feet displays her with his arms proudly out towards her. Pika! (Check her out!)

(Also from the background, some might be able to tell that they're at the farm. Why are they at the farm so early? Because.) ]

Isn't she cool? She is! --oh, hey, Snorlax! Stand next to her and show everyone how big she is next to you!

[ The recording swings over to show a very fat panda creature sitting down eating a pile of bread. He continues eating, and as Red begs again ("C'mon, Snooorlax!"), the creature proceeds to noisily shuffle his butt to face the opposite direction. Noopppee. ] Snor! You...!

[ Huff! He faces the screen back to himself finally, making a puffed face but not so seriously. ] Forget about him! Saur's amazing and that's all that matters!

[ And then one last smile! ]

Bye!!!

Yeah. It's too bad not everyone likes living positively like that. [ But understands that's just the way of life too. Some people are nice. Some people are jerks. ]

You can live by philosophies without really knowing it or thinking about it, can't you?

If you have to try and stay on the path and think about it constantly? Then you're probably breaking it without realizing it. So I certainly think you can live by one without knowing it. That's even more natural, really.

I don't really get philosophy, but I know it's a... thing, about the way you live. [ He guesses, from the amount he does know. ] But it sounded possible. That we're all living by some without realising it.

Well, there's not much to get. It doesn't really change anything, knowing what it's called. If you fit the philosophy, you fit it. No need to worry about labeling it, I think.

No. I know I'd just confuse myself if I tried labelling everything I think. It doesn't sound useful for a guy like me to do anyway.

No, it's not really something to worry about. I know I don't. I just do what I must, and what feels right. The same as anyone.

[ He nods. Maybe he might not have the right ides about philosophy but it doesn't matter, and what he's learnt of it toward - pay it forward - is a nice lesson to learn. ]

Thanks for congratulating Saur on her evolving. I've never gotten to show off an evolution like this, so seeing everyone be as impressed as me has been great!

And you'll be able to see how more awesome she looks soon, too!

Oh I look forward to it.

[She really, really does. The creature had a delightful scent, after all. And now it had a bigger flower...]

Are you going to do anything special for her? A party perhaps?

[ And in summer (and especially in rain), it makes soothing effects of the flower all that stronger. ]

Umm... a party? Helios offered to make a berry cheese cake for her! But... I never thought about a party...

[ He's actually trying to think of how that would go now. He's had birthday parties before, but... his mother sorted those! And there was lot of food --- but Snorlax would eat all the food... ]

Well...it's kind of like a birthday, right? Maybe just something small, where you give her an extra treat, like one of Helios' cakes. He's a magnificent baker, you know.

[And she's always willing to gush about her housemate.]

You're friends right? I remember when we ate curry together that you said your friend owns that place, and I ended up meeting him when he was practising magic! Have you ever met his baby dragons?

[ Helios, for as much Red knows about him, is very OK in his books! ]

[She's a bit more than friends, in some ways...]

Oh, actually, we live together. Luminaire and Maggir live with my dog and I.

[ R-Red might be too young to know...! ]

Oh, wow! Then you get to eat good food everyday! [ Not that she couldn't by just going to his restaurant/cafe, but still! ]

Did I ever tell you about dragons in my world? They're really rare! I was trying to catch one before I came here.

[Maybe, it's more a tale of violence and terror than anything. And Helios is family to her.]

You didn't. Are there dragon pokemon, then?

[ Well, Red knows a bit about violence... ]

Yeah. They're meant to be incredibly strong and powerful. I've never met another trainer with one yet. I only know about one, too! They look like snakes to begin with? Blue snakes - kinda cute, actually. [ Heh. ]

But the one I've seen on TV before, it's big and ...orange? And it has wings! That's why hearing Helios has two that could be like them is so amazing!

Huh. Well...that's really different from the ones I know of. In my world there are only four dragons though. But they're more like snakes.

[ He's going to look down at the actual journal page for a while... Saori may or may not hear light scratching noises! ] The one I know is called dratini. Its evolution is like... dragooni? Draggyni?

[ He briefly looks up. ] What are dragons like in your world? Do you mean only four four? Like in the whole world?

[She raises an eyebrow, wondering what he's doing.]

Yes, only four. [She taps her chin, thoughtful.] Maybe five. But I don't actually know. They're all gods too.

All I know is that they're meant to be really rare in our world. [ Or his part of the world. ] Hmm, they're like... okay, um. This is what they look like, sort of.

[ Picture incoming! ]

The left one is the first evolution, then the second one's the last! I dunno if there's one in the middle... and I know they've not really good, but it's been ages since I've seen them! But the left one's blue and they hang out in the water! And I didn't remember how the dragooni's wings look so I kind of guessed??

Well! They're certainly very dragonlike. The one on the left is like the dragons I know at home. But the one on the right is more like Helios' babies.

[ That she thinks they're dragonlike is enough to keep Red happy! ]

Can gods be anything in your world then? Since you're a god and there's dragons as gods!

Well, yes. Though you might not know they were dragons. They're like me...and keep their true shape hidden. They look like people most of the time.

Like shapeshifting? That's gotta be handy. You didn't look like you could fit through doors as Zapdos, after all. It must be worse for dragon gods.

Well, yes. My true self...well, it won't fit in a door.

Your true self? [ huuh. ] But aren't you part human? So...
