[When the feed turns on, it reveals Legosi- dressed in a new set of cooler attire for the summer (he...looks like a dad, actually, is he really 18), as he sits on a train. The Magnet Train that goes between Goldenrod and Saffron, to be exact...he'd seen some advertisements for it while working some shifts at one of the local eateries in the city, and figured well...he's spent the whole month in Goldenrod, so why not take a little trip with his Pokemon? He's been feeling admittedly lonely since that strange weekend, and he's tired of moping about it.

So here he is on the way to Kanto with his Buneary Haru and Scorbunny Kaen sitting in his lap happily munching on some Pokemon treats provided by the dining on the train. But he looks distracted, his attention out the window as if he'd forgotten he turned the camera on himself.]

...is it...difficult, to find a house in this world? Expensive?

[He lapses into silence for a moment...clearly daydreaming even as he speaks, his voice lapsing into a sort of gentle murmur.]

Somewhere with room for a garden...

[June had been pretty busy, for Izuku and co. Busy enough that he'd been pretty caught up in training and gym challenges to the point where he'd missed a couple summer events happening in the past few weeks. Probably for the best though, since he'd heard it was a charity auction...one of those kinds where you volunteer yourself to be auctioned off as a date and just...he's not sure he would have been the right choice for that. There's still plenty of heat and summer ahead of them though, plenty of time for other activities. He'd had a great time at the amusement park with Kirishima (and a begrudging Katsuki who was sort of just dragged along), and now he has a Snorlax that's bigger than he is to show for it.

The new month meant it was time to circle back around to Pewter to work on picking up those aforementioned gym badges.

...at least until Izuku's gaggle of energetic Eevees had gotten caught up underneath his feet like a whole lot of needy cats (dogs? foxes??), sending him hurtling head-first over one of those infamous ledges. Not the worst spill he's ever taken, so it's fine! It was fine. He'd picked himself up, dusted himself off, and kept going, completely ignoring the ache in his left wrist because he's felt worse. It's fine.

They'd made it to the Pokemon Center at this point, and Izuku had every intention to just put his team up for healing, same as always. But someone is tired of standing idly by, watching Izuku holding his arm close to himself, wincing, trying very hard not to downplay what is actually an injury that's not going to heal on its own...mostly because he doesn't want to slow the others down. He especially doesn't want to incur Katsuki's wrath, but alas...

The instant he'd sat down on one of the benches to wait for his team to be returned to him, he's finding himself wrapped up in the vine-like green arms of Kamui herself, the big Tangrowth grumbling at Izuku threateningly as she reaches deep into his bag and turns his Gear on, shoving it into his face.]

Kamui-! What's- gotten into you-!

[She grumbles again, leaning over into view with her body squeezing Izuku a little tighter. If he won't listen to reason, maybe the network will- the bruising on his wrist might not be something to be concerned about, but the swelling...]

I tripped Kamui, I'm fine! It's not that bad!

[The network gets a StaryuTube link. The feed opens with Zuke walking down the streets of Goldenrod City, there was a small riff in the backdrop of a rock song. Zuke is joined at the hip by his Rillaboom, Gardevior, and his shiny Toxitricity. Heading toward a telephone pole, he slaps on a flyer and staples it. You had a look from behind his hair, but then he turned around.

Now the flyer could be visible. It read:]

Water Pokémon Conservatory of Cerulean City presents: The Summer Charity Fair!

[With a soft smile and a wink, Zuke and his crew of Pokémon all cram into the shot.]

Hope to see you all there, yeah? Looking forward to it.

[His smile turned to a grin as his team pumped their fists in the air and all gave a battle cry! ROCK OUT!]

18th [Video Network Post]

Tonks... What's up? Why this way?

[The camera is fixed on Kazuki's front porch as he's pushed out the front door by a certain Primarina. He's genuinely surprised, first at the camera, and then at Honky Tonk as he retrieves his trumpet case and insistently pushes it into his hands.]

What, you want a song?

[Tonks gives a pleading cry in affirmation. A white paw (belonging to Sebastian the Indeedee and holding the Gear) gave a thumbs up in frame. Sarge the Silvally, napping in the sunbeam, raised its head and chimed in. A Noivern flew in and perched on the awning, watching intently.]

Come on, you guys know I'll play for you whenever! You don't need to corner me. [Kazuki sits down on the porch and opens the case to do some basic maintenance on his instrument, a silver trumpet.] I'll even let you keep filming. It's been awhile, right? What do you want to hear?

[Tonks slaps his flippers together joyfully, then whistles. Kazuki's Chatot, Clef flies in with some sheet music in her beak, which Kazuki takes.]

Holst's Jupiter, from the planet's suites? I've performed this one before! I think I remember the melody... [His eyes scan the sheet as he reads the music, humming to himself in bits and pieces.] Yeah, yeah. I've got this. Everybody ready?

[Any lingering hooting and hollering quiets as Kazuki stands up again. After a thoughtful pause and a quick inhale, he starts playing.]

[Jupiter is a song that was written to convey a sense of life and vitality, and the nobility of those born under this sign, like the Roman god-king of the same name. Kazuki's performance is powerful, but with a welcoming undertone that draws the listener in rather than keeping the pretenses often associated with aforementioned nobility. It was a song he originally performed to mark the apotheosis of his journey competing in the Seisou concours. He can't help but let in that feeling of personal closure in again today.]

[He lets the last note softly fade, and the Pokemon listening all give their own kind of cheer.]

Thank you, thank you! [Kazuki gives a short bow to each of them in turn.] Now that I'm warmed up, I might as well keep going for a bit... Any more requests? Ah, if you're streaming-- Does the audience want anything special?
