[There's a blurry white blob when the video opens, chittering as it backs away. Finally in focus, anyone watching is treated to a chipper Pachirisu munching on a Poffin. A Hoppip slowly slides into view, eyeing the Poffin hungrily. In the background, an Eevee tries to coax a Litwick to come closer all while a smiling blond shuffles in and plops down on the ground.]

Fulgur, I know you stole that from Kirby. Give it back. [He says this with a chuckle, knowing that soon the two of them will be off having a tug-of-war over what's left of the treat. The Hoppip really should know by now that he needs to keep an eye on his food at all times, but Prompto's pretty sure this is his way of initiating a game.]

S-sorry everyone. Can't let him get away with grabbing other people's food all the time. So yea, it's been a while. I'm glad that weird forest is gone, n' I'm sure a lot of you are happy about that too. Did anyone else have a crazy weekend?

[Fulgur and Hoppip started their fight for food (it's not like Prompto doesn't have more, but in Kirby's mind it's the principle of the thing) on-screen and have since darted off to continue battling for the tasty morsel. The Eevee and Litwick are closer now, the latter looking more hesitant with each step but continuing to get nearer to the blond trainer and the Eevee chirps merrily, apparently pleased at the Litwick's decision to join their trainer.]

We're in Goldenrod now, not sure for how long but probably a while - I have a new friend to meet up with and Iggy mentioned camera shopping, which will take time. Speaking of cameras [He turns to scoop the Litwick up and sweetly scratch the Eevee's ears] this little lady has been great at helping me get some awesome night shots on the 'gear. But I do really miss having a camera, and I'm sure Lux and Pryna will help me test all the ones that look good.

Ugh, I keep going off on tangents. So, uh, if I do end up getting a camera... is there anyone who'd want, like, portraits of their Pokemon or their team or somethin'? Tryin' to figure out a way to earn some extra money and photography is pretty much the one thing I'm good at other than shooting.

[Maybe there are other odd jobs he can try taking up for now to help get money for a camera. It wouldn't be fair for Ignis to be the only one of them working, and Prompto needed to get his own money anyway.]

Well, that was long and rambling. Just wanted to pop on here and say hello again now that things are back to normal. Sorry it's been so long. Had to recharge a little. Promise to pop back up sooner next time!

[With a jaunty one-armed wave, Prompto hugs Lux closer and winds up toppling over as Pryna jumps in on the hug and overbalances him. The video cuts out with Prompto on his side, smiling widely with two Pokemon nestled in his arms, a slight green blur in the corner of the screen the only indication that it's likely the Hoppip that ended the transmission.]

A chill guy huh? You sure he's not an arse? [ Ash smiled playfully. ] I mean, I reckon I got a new friend too. He's pretty cute, but we gotta hang out face to face sometime so I can be sure. And yeah, it's just. Kind of wild, this place.

[ Macavity considered what Pryna told him. His eyes flashed dangerously, but he nodded. ]

I'll tell Kinnagoe that your trainer has had a bad time in the past. And if you see that man...tell me. He sounds dangerous to be near anyone. [ And Macavity wouldn't let such a person near his friends, or his trainer. ]

[Prompto blushes a little at being called cute. He can't help it; turning red is his natural reaction to compliments.] H-hey I'll have you know I'm tough too!

[He's trying to look intimidating, but it's difficult to maintain a glare when you're trying not to laugh.] Yea, there's still a lot to get used to. But I think I could grow to like it. And yea, we'll definitely have to hang out soon. Gotta make sure you aren't really an ass.

[Pryna regards Macavity with serious eyes. She may be cute and sweet, but she could get vicious if she had to. If she ever saw the man that hurt Prompto, he would be sorry indeed.] Thank you. And I don't know what he looks like, but I'll make sure to find you so you can get a piece of him too if he ever comes here. But I really hope he never does.

Cute and tough. Just like my Raichu then! Don't worry, I won't tell her. She gets boisterous about competition. [ Although his Raichu was also quite chubby and Prompto seemed more stick-like. And while she wouldn't go all out on Prompto, she also had a very loose understanding of 'holding back'. ]

And yeah we totally should. You're always welcome to drop by my place. It's not super big, just big enough for me and the team.

[ Under this lighthearted chat, Macavity nodded solemnly. ] Me too. We'll protect your trainer too, if you ever need help.

[Oh a Raichu? He has to meet her now.] But she sounds so adorable! We could be part of a team, The Cutest and Toughest! The Cu-toughs!

[He uses the dorkiest team name, but says it with enthusiasm and wild hand gestures and he's wearing the biggest, cheesiest grin. Come on, Ash has to tell the Raichu that she's now on a cute/tough team with Prompto. They could recruit far and wide!] Dude, you have a place. As long as it's comfy and you like it, who cares how big it is? I bet it's great!

[Pryna smiles, grateful to have made a friend like Macavity.] That means so much to me. You're the best, Macavity. Thank you.

Look, I'll be honest; I don't want you to die. And An Tintreach could kill a man just with her hype. [ He really doesn't want to explain to Noctis that yeah, he met his friend, he was a nice guy and all, but his Raichu pile-drived his guts out. RIP Prompto, he hardly knew thee. ]

[ Macavity trilled to both Pryna and Prompto's words about their house, turning to give Ash a nuzzle. ]

"Anytime! We'll look after both of you!"
Oh yeah, it's amazing. Bigger than the place I lived in back home. So that's set then yeah? Day you get in Olivine, you're giving me a call and I'm gonna find ya!

[He heaves a dramatic sigh, secretly hoping that maybe the Raichu will at least allow a friendly, non-crushing hug or something. Though he does appreciate that Ash is looking out for his well-being. At least one of them has to, right?]

I mean ... I guess that's fair. Can't say I wanna die just yet.

[Pryna chirps joyously and leaps onto Prompto's shoulder, her tail wagging in his face and making him laugh and reach up to rearrange her so her tail can instead drape behind his neck.]

You got it, bud!

[ The Raichu will permit hugs...and squeeze as tight as possible to SHOW HER STRENGTH. She seriously has zero chill. ]

I'll try and get her to calm her tits by the time you come by!

Alright!

[An excited fist pump.]

See you guys once we move!
