[Video] (if a bit backdated)

[ The feed switches on and the first thing you'd see is the close up face of a Cyndaquil, making noises and moving its little arms at the screen until a voice pops in. ]

Axel, what are you doing? [ A pause, and the PokeGear is picked up, moving to show Xion next. She's propped against a wall, most likely sitting on something, but the thing that could be noticeable on her is the gauze pad covering most of her left cheek. She blinks at the screen, then looks back down where the Cyndaquil would be. ]

I guess I should show a bit of my progress... [ There's an affirmative chirp before she fully turns her attention to the PokeGear. ] I finally arrived at Cherrygrove. I'm in a PokeCenter right now.

[ She pauses as she presses a button on her Gear. ] It's still a little while before I get to Violet... [ And she does have to wait for Cecil. ] But we'll get there.

[ Axel is making more noise, almost as though it wants more attention, and Xion smiles slightly, turning to him. ] We made some progress, didn't we? [ Then she turns the screen to show her Cyndaquil waving happily, his flames a bit bigger and brighter on his back. ]

I'm fine, really. The nurse helped me and Axel.

You poor dear... Is there anything I can do for you?

I wouldn't want to trouble you... And I don't even know where you are. [ For all Xion knows, Minnie could be in one of the other cities far away from Cherrygrove. ]

We're very far apart, but I can talk to you as long as you'd like, to try and cheer you up.

[ Blinks again. She's grateful, but she's not exactly down about anything? For whatever reason, though, Xion feels it'd be rude to decline. ]

Thank you. [ A beat as she tries to think up a topic. ] I'm starting to get used to this world. I think.

[ Smiles slightly. ] And I think Axel learned something new. He wasn't doing it before when we encountered what look like rats, but then at the birds, he started spitting flames from his mouth.

[ Cue Axel make a sort of cheering noise at that in the background. ]

That means he learned a new attack! After a certain number of battles, they learn new moves. Congrats to you both.

Thank you. Will he keep learning new ones if he battles more?

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

That's right. They can do some really amazing things~!

What else?

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

I know Pokemon that can go through walls, that can fire water and bubbles, that can dig underground, ghosts and fish and gigantic rock snakes too!

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

That many?

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

And so much more! It may be endless, no one knows for sure.

video

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Do we have to catch them all?

video

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Goodness no, I don't even think that's possible.

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

How is it not?

I once heard there are over one hundred Pokemon!

[ Wide eyed now. ] O-Over a hundred... wow.
