Video; Suicune no swiping
[The video switches onto very shaky, jerky footage of the inside of a tent, and then a tentflap being pushed aside with very indistinct muttering in the background.
Outside, the early light of dawn is grey in a persistent drizzle. The gear (still not completely steady) looks out over a reasonably neat camp. Smokey the Ursaring would be pleased. Their old XO would only assign twenty laps. All in all, a very normal scene.
Apart from the legendary pokemon standing in the middle of camp like it does this sort of thing every day. That is a little not normal.
Have you ever seen Suicune? Have you ever seen Suicune steal a tea kettle? You have now.
The large blue legendary pokemon lowers its muzzle to nose at the kettle, before clamping its sharp teeth around it and lifting it up.]
Ah! No! No, no.
[It drops the kettle again, staring straight into the gear. For a moment everything seems to go still, even the sound of the rain drizzling down coming to a stop. It's a moment that seems to stretch, perilously thin and then suddenly it snaps, like a bubble bursting, and Suicune bends down to clamp its teeth around the tea kettle again and then it is off with a great leap, the rain suddenly coming down again with a roar.]

Would you? Then, please. You are much better at it than I am.
[Armin's art skills haven't improved much over the nearly a year he has been here. Maybe he should get a pokemon capable of drawing like Jean has.
Not that he probably wants to see Polo's version of Suicune.]
I'm not sure if we can say it stole it though. He don't exactly know its motives. Does a legendary pokemon even understand the concept of ownership?
action
Beats me. You should probably ask Dr. Ford about that.
[Jean reaches over Armin's shoulder to play the video again, this time paying more attention to the Pokemon's form.]
Huh... it's like a dog, but not really. Not really at all.
Can I take this back to my tent and watch it a few more times, so I can draw it better?
action
[Armin hands over his gear. It is only logical Jean needs a bit of time to draw something out, right.
And now that his excitement is slowly... not disappearing exactly, but evening out, he is also starting to notice his own wet and muddy state.]
I should probably... clean up a bit.
action
You'd be even worse if I hadn't thrown that coat over you.
[He'd comment on Armin's bedhead, but that would be the pot calling the kettle black.]
Go get dried off or you're going to get sick.
