[Well, Unova, you're getting treated to a rather interesting sight today. The feed starts off merely showing Lostlorn Forest. Nothing too terribly interesting about that. The only thing of note is a Pokémon noise that sounds suspiciously like laughter as the camera bobs up and down a few times.

The feed stays that way for a few minutes before a new noise can be heard—yelling. It's getting progressively louder and louder and soon enough, one can make out a multitude of loud, angry squawks not far behind.

… And this is where, out of the bushes, a purple-haired boy bursts through, apparently the source of the yelling. The Shroomish in the kid's arms looks pretty displeased. The boy seems to note the Pokémon and Xtransceiver before grabbing at the Xtransceiver and fumbling with it. The last thing seen before the feed shuts off is a flock of angry Murkrows flying from the direction the boy came from, before being cut off by a stream of flame and a startled shout from the boy.

Eventually, the feed turns back on and the boy has plopped down in the middle of the road on Route 16. The Shroomish is on his lap and he now has a Houndour nudging at his face. He doesn't seem to realize the Xtransceiver is on again, bobbing up and down in the air like it had been previously.]

And it's safe, too?

[Similar suspicion from Kariya's cat-eyed corner of the screen. He's imagining Hikaru clinging to the talons of a Pidgey or something, right now...]

Of course! [Come on, what's not to like about a flying giant stone go- Oh you mean Iris.]

I think she uses her salamence for the trips.

Salamence?

Right, because we know what that is.

[What Hikaru said, except snarkier.]

[Don't think he's not going to get back at you for that snark Kariya-]

[For the moment, have a bemused expression instead though, and a warning glint in otherwise cheery eyes.] You know- Dragons. It's a large dragon type. Almost as big as Golurk actually.

...? [Sorry, Otogi, this one's clueless.]

[He'd be getting into a glint-off right now, only...dragons. So cool.]

So, it's okay to ride one of them, going that fast?

[More importantly: Can he ride it too, when it gets here? o: ]

Yep!

Humans have been doing that for years here.

Whoa.

[He's not sure whether that's really cool or somewhat frightening.]

[Don't be a chicken, Hikaru, that's awesome.]

Alright, then. We should do that!

At least, if we're able to afford it, we should.

Eshshshshshhs~ [STOP LAUGHING.]

I haven't spent a thing since I got here; I'll have more than enough for the small price it is to make the flight~

Ah, great--[Well, he was going to continue that sentence but he. May or may not have walked into a pole from being so focused on the conversation. Oops.]

You don't mind paying?

[He's not going to question Otogi volunteering but might as well make sure...

Until his focus gets pulled away by Hikaru's collision. Frown.]

...Can we make sure they strap him down to the dragon's back or something, too?

Of course I don't. It's not like I won't make it back soon enough right? Besides, I've been saving up to purchase a caravan for everyone anyways. [...Okay.]

Eshshhshshsshhs~ He won't fall, don't worry!

[Not contributing because this time he's actually watching where he's going--]

Yeah, right.

[Someone sounds unconvinced. Kid just screwed up walking.]

Anyway, where does he have to go to hitch a dragon-ride?

Nowhere- making a call to Iris will be more than enough.

So, will I have to make the call, or...?

Otogi's paying.

Let him make it, he can tell her where to pick you up.

Eshshshhs... So harsh! I was already going to make the call... [Aaaaah-]

You said you were outside of Lostlorn, right?
