Well, I can't say I'm happy about this whole thing... But I guess the timing could've been worse. Although having a woman who's probably younger than me claim to be my mother, that kind of weirded me out. [A snicker with a bit of a snort to it, as the woman's tired annoyance gives way to begrudging fondness.] She'd have to be a lot more overbearing than that to compare...

I'll give this place some credit for the guidebook. 'Cause if a realm's gonna pull you into it, or whatever happened here, the least it can do is give you an instruction manual. But commanding the, uh, Pokey-mon we team up with feels a little weird, at least to me. I'd rather be fighting alongside them-- Although I guess without any of my magic now, that's not an option anyway. Ugh. Alright, Owl Lady, don't get caught up in that...

[After that muttered aside and a deep breath, she's sounding better - if not a bit strained.]

Might as well introduce myself. We're all weirdos to a realm we don't belong in here, right? I'm Eda Clawthorne. It's not my first time traveling like this, but it's definitely the only time I really had no say in it... And it's just the pits. What do you guys do around here to deal with all that?

Hey everyone! Since the next contest is in Ilex Forest, I wanted to make a quick advertisement!

[Kazuki turns the camera away from his excited expression to show the exterior of the Silver Horn. It's a lovely sight, the surrounding landscape just beginning to blossom into spring.]

This is the inn I run, the Silver Horn! We're based in Azalea, which is the closest town to Ilex Forest. I noticed that the show runners aren't providing any lodging this time around, so I thought I'd offer my services!

Newbies and people who are still getting their feet under them can stay for free! Or if that bothers you, you can totally pay for your stay by helping out around the place. There's a lot of work to be done in the garden this time of year, and we can always use a hand with cleaning! Or you can help out with the rehab Pokemon that are staying here right now. Every little bit helps!

Just let me know if you're planning on coming so I can make sure we've got everything ready for your stay!
