[The feed opens on Joey and a Bisharp standing in front of a slot machine. Both wear ecstatic expressions as the machine dispenses coin-after-coin, and Joey holds a confused looking Dratini above his head as he cheers. Noise from the other machines and patrons occasionally cuts through the pair's exultation, but the majority of sound pouring through the feed comes from their cheers.]

Yo we did it! We made out like bandits!

[Joey thrusts the Dratini forward for the camera to see.]

Me and Hermos here have been killin' it on da slots, so dis lil' jackpot here marks twelve and a half grand we've managed to carve out! We got ourselves a big ol' chunk'a change and scored dis' heckin' baloon animal-lookin' Pokémon too! There's no stoppin' da wheels on da Joey Train!

Video - Action for Goldenrod

[It was late, probably too late for a preteen to be walking around the city. But this was Gabi, wandering around in the middle of the night was just what she did. Some might have noticed the little guy poking his head out from behind a bin as he followed. Gabi didn't, she grinned widely at the camera before spinning it around to focus on Ruffles, her Rockruff.

Who looked very grumpy for a Rockruff. Just frowning as he sat there, wrinkling his snout.]

Soo- Does anyone know why a pokemon might get really, really mad? He normally likes to play and run but now he just gro- HEY!

[The Pokegear was jerked and suddenly, everyone was getting the lovely view of the inside of a pokemon's mouth. Then the Nickit started running.]

GET BACK HERE ASSHOLE!

[Child... Alas, her two legs couldn't keep up. But Ruffles' could and he was growling as he pursued. Then glowing... Then he was a whole lot less cute. Enough that the Nickit decided the pokegear wasn't worth it, he dropped it and fled.]

Whoa that was so COOL! [She was so excited. Look at her boy. All of them were growing up to be so strong. Except he started growling when she neared to get her gear back. Gabi stilled, her face shifting into a frown.]

What?
