[ 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.

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.

They slowly adapt to the kinds of energy presented to them. So, the first attack will bother it, but after that they'll resist more and more. They're not immune, but it doesn't phase them as well as it might.

[ 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.

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...

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. ]

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.

We can practice! [ Well, they already get together nearly each and every day anyway. Oh, but thinking about that, and looking at his pokémon... ]

Did you want to try something now? If you don't have anywhere you want to be -- but my pokémon could have a rest, and then they could train again after us.

If you're up to it, yes.

[She reaches out and calls a stick to her with a bit of wind, just a bamboo pole.]

Whenever you're ready.
