<sub>[A miserable creature is what appears on your Poke'Gear feed today, friend. Where there once had been a broad, eager smile now hangs a pitiful upside down U. His hair is plastered to his face with sweat and the flecks of dirt and grime that tended to stick to his person has all but turned to mud streaking down his sunburned face. The man is red as a lobster. Or maybe a Krabby. Or maybe a Corphish. He's got a bright line right across the bridge of his nose and his cheeks where the shade of his hat saved the upper part of his face. It's a small mercy.]

[He is taking shelter under a tree and squatting awkwardly in the middle of a messy camp. He wheezes and for a long moment it looks like he's forgotten why he even turned his Poke'Gear on. Then, dull realization flashes in his eyes and he fumbles the 'Gear around to face his Pokemon. His Mimikyu is happily munching away on some non-descript food pellet but Dave is not the focus today.]

[Beetlejuice sniffs and grunts awkwardly from off-screen as he focuses the camera on an Exeggcute that sits nestled on top of his backpack. One wobbles to and fro before rolling off, alarming the other five.]</sub>

Got some..._{[A wheeze.]} egg guys. I just wanted one but the more the merrier, am I right? Gonna name 'em uhhhhhh. Break...fast. Ha.

[It's Raphtalia! She hasn't been up to much since her last post, but she seems a lot calmer now than she was initially.]

Um... how do you make friends with Pokemon? I know you're supposed to catch them, but I don't like the idea of trying to hurt them. Is there a way to catch them without hurting them? And then you can be friends with them?
