[The 'Gear settles on Rakka's face for a moment, smiling brightly, before it jumps to an end-table presumably in her room. Sitting on it is Rakka's contest trophy.]

I still can't really believe we won, right Kaen?

[The screen turns to her bed. Nestled in her sheets, having a relaxing snooze, was Kaen. He's young, after all, and he has a very busy time of it last week.]

I wanted to thank everyone who came to see us again- oh, and all my friends of course! And Penny! [Yes she gets her own callout.] We trained really hard just to get it all right, and I guess it really paid off if so many people wanted to vote for us.

[She flips the screen back to her face, already looking a little misty-eyed again, but she's holding it in. Mostly.]

Also... I was just wondering, since it's coming up soon. What is it that you like to do on your birthday? Maybe anything special, or anything at all. I always think it'll be easy to come up with ideas for it, but-

[A small yawn off-screen diverts Rakka's attention for just a moment.] ...Oh. Hehe, sorry Kaen. I'll stop now. But, uh! Please get back to me if you can think of anything!

[One last smirk before the feed turns off.]

I... don't think I've ever held a rifle before, or... punched anyone in the face. I've never really been in any big fights in my life.

[Besides tackling that pink-haired girl at prom???]

Ooo you REALLY need to then.

Seriously I know fighting can be scary but it's also SUPER empowering. Just ask your pokemon. See how good they feel when they win a fight?

Well I felt like that ALL the time back home...except when things were horrible apocalyptic nightmares.

Uhh...! [Really... unsure about that!] I'm really not sure about it. Honestly, I don't even really do pokemon fights aside from the gym battles. If I get into any really big fights, I'm not sure how well I'd do...

[hrmm.] Was it really like that all the time where you're from?

Aw you gotta learn sometime! What are you gonna do if you have to defend yourself without your pokemon?

Oh sure! There were always people trying to kill ya back on Pandora. Like every friggin day I had to blow some jerks face off or send my robot to smash em up.

Uhh, well I...... [Dunno. She's never really had to do that before.]

It sounds like... nowhere I've ever been before.

That's probably for the best. If you don't know how to fight, you're totally gonna get flattened on Pandora.

If you want though I'll teach ya how to fight. I don't have any guns but I'm scrappy as fuuuuck and I have some really tough friends and pokemon to help.
