[Other than his demand for the return of his 'face', Jack hasn't been very active on the public network. Certainly not posting any video. But today...]

[Well, today he's got something to show off. He himself isn't on screen, but the feed shows a very agitated looking Beedrill, facing off against a Purugly.]

Look at what my special girl won for me! Not the fat purple cat, the friggin awesome killer wasp monster! Now that is a badass Pokemon. He wants to fight! Ahhh, it's even my favorite colors. Think I might call him...

Oh, crap. I had a super cool name in mind, totally badass, was gonna name him after some bee god, but now I completely forget what that was. Arty....Arse...

Screw it, I'll call him Kill Sting.

[Jack sounds extremely pleased and proud. Which he is. What a sweet and thoughtful girl Manaka is.]

Anyway...not gonna be in Goldenrod for a while, taking a vacation with my girl.

Draculaura, you're in charge.

2nd Cast Off [Video] Ruins of Alph

[seasalthands]

[The video turns on and moves across dimly lit cave walls and symbols in the Ruins of Alph. This goes on for a bit before Kira starts speaking, the video continuing to move along the walls. Once again Kira seems to be documenting rather than "blogging".]

I'm going to make an educated guess and say a dozen people before me have already done this. But maybe that makes things a bit easier.

I guess this is for anyone interested in research and history. I find myself curious and with nothing better to do but I'd like to compare notes, maybe? Like... you see these things. [The camera zooms in on the symbols.] They kinda look like American letters. Or, uhm, English. Yeah. I recognized some of them and made a guess but I could be way off the mark. And I'm only asking partly because there are puzzles here and I don't want to waste my time. [Not because he's stuck. No way.]

More importantly, I'd like to hear some theories and thoughts. I guess it never crossed my mind that there might be some deep history here but I'm interested. Since those skull guys showed up I've been hearing a lot about Legendary Pokémon and so on and so forth. It has me curious about this place. More than I already was actually.

So what do you guys know? Give me an information dump to listen to while I struggle with kid puzzles...

You know, there was so much going on when I arrived, I never did introduce myself on here. Hi. The name's Felix.

Now, obviously I don't need anyone to tell me the basics, don't worry, I already got all of that. I mean, this is by far the weirdest planet I've ever been to, and that's saying something, but I'm a quick learner. I'm much more interested in hearing about--

[Felix is cut off, suddenly, by a horrible burst of static. Sorry folks, it's not pleasant.]

Oh, for the love of... [Light blue sparks are just visible on the feed, originating from the gear from the looks of it. To say Felix looks annoyed would be an understatement. But he takes a deep breath and keeps going.] As... I was saying. I--

[And another interruption. It's music this time; different from the regular music that always plays, this is very clearly a radio station. At first the music drowns out everything, but the volume is lowered as Felix just decides to smack the side of his gear.]

Okay, screw it. New question! How the fuck do you get a Rotom to stay out of your goddamn gear? Because I'm about five seconds away from just throwing this thing into the damn ocean. [More static.] Oh yeah, you heard me. Don't think I won't do it, you obnoxious little--

[And then the feed just cuts out completely. Well then. That happened.]

[It's dusk, and Allura's already set up camp on Route 29 somewhere outside of New Bark Town. Logic says she should have stayed in town, but after a few days milling around, asking the locals, garnering what she can from the few citizens of that town, she makes the conclusion that she should finally make use of her PokeGear, and just...set out.

She's propped up against the base of a tree, and there's the sound of something crying off screen, plaintive and hollow, and Allura just looks...tired.]

This is Princess Allura of the planet Altea, and as charming of a planet and its wildlife may be, I...have a hard time believing that I will be trapped here for good. I'm not certain which system I'm in, but wherever this "Johto" is located I must go back, because I am beginning to feel this has little to do with a misdirected wormhole and much to do with...another force. So far, the native population has been of little help beyond giving me necessary supplies for my "journey."

[She pauses, finally reaching forward and beckoning the crying creature towards her, and her Cubone waddles over, camera shifting a bit as he makes himself seemingly at home, resting his head against her chest. Her free hand rubs the bone forehead of its helm as she continues. It looks like she's about to say something, but she changes her mind, shaking her head and sighing.]

I suppose there's nothing to be done about the music either...
