[ 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. ]

There's a shortcut between Goldenrod City and Violet that only takes a few days. Go the long way, and it takes weeks to get there.

Weeks... [ Looks a bit crestfallen at that. She wanted to try and meet up with Roxas and the others as soon as possible. ]

[Aw, poor Xion. He didn't mean to upset her.

...Hmm.]

Tell you what. If you want to get to Goldenrod quicker, I could use my squirt bottle and open the path for you.

Your... squirt bottle? How?

There's a Pokémon blocking the way, but it hates water. Spray a little on it, and it'll move.

Will it keep away for a while? [ She'll still have to go through Violet, meet up with some people, and then go. ]

I could always wait until you take off, and we could meet halfway. If you can't find anyone else to open the path, just let me know.

Okay. I'll contact you when I'm there. Thank you, Riku.
