[Ahh, Route 1.

Lovely, scenic Route 1.

Kirino's Pokémon (his Swablu, and a recently acquired Milotic) are both out to enjoy the lovely weather, and Kirino...

... is currently being harassed by a small army of ghost-types. There's a good number of Shuppets about as well as a Misdreavus that's taken a liking to yanking on his pigtails.

Kirino really, really just looks like he's resigned himself to all this, however, rather than panicking and flailing and trying to drive them away like he was a few minutes ago.]

You've got to be kidding m--OW! [Stupid Misdreavus.]

[ Hazel is not on screen. Just a Pokémon egg in a nest made of a blanket. ]

So... I found this egg by my Buizel today.

I sort of didn't intend to start actually breeding Pokémon just yet but, that doesn't bother me.

[ There is a pause as she watches the Buizel decide to curl up with the egg. The very first egg from her Pokémon. She feels like she stumbled into a big event somehow. People share big events usually, right? ]

I'm thinking of trying to find a good home for it instead of keeping it but, it's not going to anyone Shera doesn't like.

[ Shera being the Buizel. Awkward end to a video but, she doesn't have anything else to say. ]

How does this work...? Mmm...

[The camera is running and pointed straight at Ruka, but she doesn't notice. After a few moments she realizes that she already made it work, oops. She seems to be sitting next to a tree, and a nearly identical boy is sitting next to her.]

There we go! Um, hello! My name is Ruka. [She pauses, and the boy speaks up.]

And I'm Rua! Me an' sis have a few questions about this place!!

[Kariya is holding his Xtransceiver at an arm's length, today, so as to get a wide shot of himself and all of his Pokémon. The lot of them -- both the boy and his pets -- are flopped together on the ground, some distance from the nearest tall grass. They're all looking considerably worse for wear: Suisei the Purrloin is fur-ruffled and tired, curled up wearily at his trainer's feet. Ceres the Sentret, more obviously fresh from a battle, huddles against Kariya's side. As for the boy himself, he's sweating and a little wild-eyed...

And petting, delighted, at the day's guest of honor in his lap.]

Look at what I caught!

[He grins and brings the image in to a close shot of a Mawile nestled against him. It's freshly patched up from a fight, too (evidently a pretty rough one), but it leans back against Kariya and shows off its big, jaw-like horns for the camera.

The green-haired teen shows off a goofily proud smile, to match. He gets to be over-excited like normal kids, too, sometimes, okay? This is the first rough battle that's gone really well for him!]

He's so tough! Most of my team's attacks barely threw him off at first, but we finally got him into a pokéball...and, see? His horns make him look like a big, fierce predator, but he's actually quick and clever.

...Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone meet him, I guess.

[Or, you know, to show off. His Purrloin seems to think the latter -- under Kariya's radar, it's lifting one paw to its mouth and pantomiming a big, dramatic yaaaawn.]
