[backdated to 24th oops] video

[pokeboy]

[ 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!!!

[ And this conversation became totally invalid with the two having a match apparently in the past sorted in the future, BUT WHO CARES. ]

Don't you too? I lost here to a trainer... but it's made me want to try even harder to get better. Knowing you can be that strong one day, or have matches where your opponent is just as good... losing sucks, but battling is the best!

[ Says the guy who will one day coop himself up on top of a mountain. ]

[Again, you'd be amazed at how much of a big deal that is once in a while in the anime. Then again, that might just be that we tend to be in the company of some trainers who did take their losses rather hard: see Trip or Burgundy, for example. Nonetheless, Cilan claps his hands together at Red's response.]

Yes, that's what I like to hear! You have a very admirable spirit as a trainer!

[pokeboy]

Heheh! Good! You gotta if you want to be the best! [ Gosh, he feels like such a shounen protagonist boy!! But let's put that aside for now, because- ]

Oh! By the way, you like talking about taste buds so much...!! Do you wanna have some cake? There's gonna be cheesecake for everyone!

[cilantro]

["Talking about taste buds" gosh that's not how we would describe our wonderful vocabula--did you say cake.]

Oh, that sounds wonderful! I'd love to try a slice, if you don't mind! [...Critiquing and commenting about it's taste afterward is probably expected from him at this point though.]

[pokeboy]

[ The dude making the cake might actually like that. Maybe. ]

Sure! A friend is making a cake to celebrate and he told me to invite people, sooo...I'm inviting people! I should probably warn him about how many I've invited... but I'll give you the address when it's ready!

[cilantro]

Thank you, I will be looking forward to it!

[And of course, as a fellow chef, he'd be interested in meeting the friend making the cake, provided it isn't someone he already knows...]
