[ Nothing interesting on the video feed here, just a black-haired boy with his pikachu's head poking from the bottom of the screen. ]

Hi, my name's Red. I've got a couple of questions... I wanted to ask about first aid and the battle dome, and also if there's anybody that knows about fixing things? [ He looks away ] I don't have anything broken, but I wanted to have something looked at.

[ Right, anyway. Back to the screen. ]

But with the first aid... I was wondering if anyone had the time to help me see if I know what I'm doing? I got taught how to put on bandages a long time ago, but I don't think I was doing it right the last time I did it.

[ Maybe it had been fine, but a refresher would be good either way. ]

Anyway, then the battle dome - I wanted to know about what fighters train against in there. [ This was going to be hard, but ] I know people here have different abilities, and what we can handle is different too. I've tried creatures not from my world, but I guess...

[ What does he guess? He thinks, pinching his bottom lip in. ]

...I guess I just want to know if there's something better me and my pokémon can do. Everything's still challenging in the battle dome, but I want -- more? [ Um.

That sounds... bad? He fidgets, then shrugs. ] I don't know. I thought it'd be interesting to know what else we could fight on there. That's about it really.

Well... that's it. Bye.

[ Private voice to Caius (

accepted) ]

Hey, Caius. [ He pauses, trying to think of how to continue... ] You fight with a sword, right? I want to practice with you sometime, if you've got the time.

Then I don't think he'll be anything to worry about here, except as a vaguely creepy guy. But I'll definitely keep an eye on him. There's no money here, less than fifty Pokemon from what I know, and power is meaningless.

I'm going to keep an eye on him too. [ Or try. ] Even if he doesn't do anything, we've got to pay him back.

[ Bitterly, Red knows to add-- ] One day.

[ Because there was no way he was going to beat Giovanni at his current state. Was he always that strong? Giovanni had only three pokémon on him the last time they met too, while he had six...

He bites his tongue, his mind losing focus on what he was doing. Even now, with everything he and his team had been doing in Luceti to become stronger...! ]

Be wary of seeking revenge, Red. Revenge is the beginning of a very, very dark road.

[He can't help it, Red. Sorry, but that's very close to the Dark Side of things]

Hm. [ Helios will watch Red carefully over his shoulder. ]

Perhaps I could give it a try? I-I mean if that's alright. [ He wasn't gonna get the hang of it just by watching. So maybe this was a good time to put some hands on application to use. ]

[ So, one being weak to electricity, and then another being weak to any energies, but turning resistant over time. Red juggles the information with some silence in his head for a while. ]

...We'll train with them more. [ The decision makes him smile confidently, look around at his team. ] We can try different tactics on them, and they're human-shaped too. [ for the most part ] It's the kind of foe we need.

[ A dark road? Red thinks about that, but... ]

It's not just revenge -- not for beating me. It's more than that. A guy like that...

[ Truly, it feels like something he has to do, something that he can't simply leave alone. But what he did, the way it was like he was taunting him. How much stronger he was and how easily he took them all out... ]

It's just something I have to do.

Yeah? [ --oh, he means the console. ] Oh, yeah, sure.

[ And Red will back away for Helios to use it! Give it a go, sir. ]

Yes, yes I think it will do nicely.

[She smiles faintly and gives the Pokemon a little nod.]

And when you think they're easy, I'll show you some of the real threats my kind fight.

[ Red lowers his head in a short but appreciative bow. ] Thank you.

[ And he did appreciate it. Immensely. Anything for them all to get stronger. Actually, speaking about himself and getting stronger.. ]

I'm going to try and do more with my staff training too. I have a friend who knows how to use a sword, and he said he'd see about training with me. Or sometimes training with me anyway. [ Whenever he feels like kicking his butt, probably. ] I know you want me to and that guy to practice off each other one day, but I thought it would be good if I got to do it with others too.

Oh, I want you to practice with as many people as you can. Variety will make you stronger. I just assumed that you'd go and do that without being told...

No no, I'm talking about what you said about being patient! [She cracked a little grin. On second thought, maybe she was overselling it a bit by mentioning adults before, but the orphans at home definitely weren't that patient.

...Ah, she just killed her own good mood.]

Like you said, being patient is frustrating.

[ Helios smiles as he gets to work finding an appropriate and rather picturesque place to do battle. Just to set the mood he'll choose this pretty place to do battle. ]

I do actually know a little bit on how to change the scenery. Hopefully this will be alright. What do you think?

[ ... woah.

woooaaaahhh.

This is much cooler than what Red could've come up with. Did Kanto have any sights like this? No, he can't think of Kanto at all - it's like a completely different world. ]

Is that your home? [ Referring to the pyramid!! ]

Oh. [ Ahaha... oops. ] I thought you wanted me to try against your friend first. [ but nevermind! ] But I'll try and ask more people from now on. I think I know some more that use weapons...

[ uhhh. maybe. ]

[ He frowns slightly at that. He's getting a feeling he's being Kid Talked here... ]

Well, I don't think it's anything to be proud about. [ Pause. Mentioning adults before... ] And there's lots of things kids can get that adults don't. Even if they should. That's just what people are like.

Well if you're looking for challenges, you know you could always ask me to practice with you too, right?

[She'll do it, and be gentle.]

But no, of course I want you training with lots of people.

[You totally are Red, sorry.]

Just what people are like, huh...? What about the people who don't get it on purpose? [She was really pulling her punches there. Remarking on other people's dispositions was something that she was very opinionated about.]

Like what? [ But, even asking that, ] The people who I can think about who do that are selfish.

Well, they might be. It's hard to have an opinion on someone when I don't even know who you're talking about. [She paused for a second. It was hard to bring things like this up in a stealthy way.]

What I do know is that people act in really complicated ways!

[ He knows that. And even in the regards of people who do do things that they know are wrong, they do it for a reason. He had that discussion once not so long ago, but... ]

It doesn't matter anyway. They're not here. [ And that's the one positive thing to be taken about them -- except not really, since they still are elsewhere.

Red pauses for a moment himself, then shakes his head. Pikachu underneath him makes a noise, then decides to hop out of his lap. ] But not everyone who does bad things have an excuse for doing it. I can't believe that.

[So suspicious, Red! It's perfectly natural to hide your face and never give out your name and live alone in the mountains for fear of anyone seeing you! So, hmm. What should he do. Well, it's reasonable that if he was going to fix something for Red, he's have to meet up with the boy. Or he could try to do one of those mysterious helper things he did with Rei, but that methods feels somewhat moot now. He's decided to allow people to meet with him to train and such, so refusing other meetings doesn't make much sense. He'd still rather not do it unless he has to, though.]

Of course. If your lead does not pan out, we may meet in person.

[ok, new topic cause he's curious GO.]

Have you brought more of your Pokemon team here?

[ This new topic is OK! ]

No. I have three and that's it [ ... ] but I want to bring more. I'm going to do missions and see if I can bring them here that way.

Home? [ Helios looks at the pyramid and then laughs a little shaking his head. ] Oh no. This is a place from my home it's called Uxmal. These ruins were left by ancient indigenous people long ago. It's a very old and very magically suffused area in my world.

[ A ley line ran through it so it was a good source of magical power. ]

[She got the feeling that she was getting an answer like that because he wanted to be taken seriously... Which wasn't surprising at all when she gave it a moment of thought.

Hearing Pikachu did noticeably catch her off guard, though. She had almost forgotten the little guy was there.]

Alright then, I won't preach to you anymore. Even if I wanted to, it sounds like you've already made up your mind on that sort of thing!

[ Oh. Well, Helios did live in that large place with Saori, so... no matter. From overhead, the sounds of bird calls - perhaps foreign in their tone - can be heard. Where or what they come from won't be a mystery, as brown, small birds with a creamy underbelly and feathery winged tips can be seen perched on some of the stone walls. ]

Oh, pidgey!

[ Sorry, Red's going to be distracted for just a second, though he only takes a few steps away from Helios and to the closer building to look at them. Got to remember the settings he put on.

He looks back to the man. ]

Those are the pokémon that I put up for you. They won't attack you unless you get really close. There's rattata too, and both of them usually hang around in long grass to hide.

[ So! Saying that! ] Do you think you're ready? Pidgey and rattata can be kinda fast - and pidgey can kick up a really big gust of wind.
