-- okay. We're ready. Step back.
[That's Shiro's voice, from a black screen. A purplish-black screen. Which abruptly turns to a real video recording as Haunter the Gengar hops backward. Back to a pile of Pokemon -- namely, all of Shiro's main roster. Plus Luna the Meowth. And a new Aron, perched up on Kuro's big Aggron head.]
[Shiro himself is in the middle of this group, all of them settled on the sand in front of the Sevii Island house like it's a football team photo. He's wearing a plastic hard-hat, of all things. Like the kind little kids wear in costumes.]
[He's also beaming.]
So... we're a few days early. More than a few. But I couldn't hold it in anymore. None of us could. One way or another, the secret was going to come out.
Here it is.
In a few days, I'll have been here two years. There's... been a lot of things to get used to. A lot of hurdles and setbacks, but -- we're still here. And I'm pretty sure this place behind us has a lot to do with that.
That's why... you're looking at a guy who just bought a house.
[And that's when the Pokemon, on what looks like Haunter's signal, gesture to the house behind them. Even Shiro busts out a little ta-daaaa motion.]
Got it all worked out. No matter what happens, no matter who comes or goes, as long as someone lives in this house, they won't have to worry about a place to stay. And, no matter how many familiar faces show up, we can always add more space. Without worrying about if we have room for someone important to us.
[There's a pause, as the new Aron -- it's Hunk's KJ -- to roll into his new trainer's lap. And roll over for some chin scratches.]
It's meant a lot to me. It's done a lot for me. This house, and everyone in it.
And now, this place will be here, for anyone and everyone, in this weird team of ours. Consider it a thank you.
For all of you -- who know who you are.

[He sort of hopes so. It's not that he thinks Lance is lying, or telling him something false, but -- for some reason, it doesn't sink in as much as it probably should.]
... All right. Couple months, then I'll let you do it.

[Lance laughs because damn if Shiro isn't as stubborn as he is. But he gets it. Just because someone says something nice and truthful doesn't always mean it hits home.]
A couple months. I swear if you argue with me then, I'm socking you in the gut.
[Like Lance's little fist would actually have any effect on that dorito bod of Shiro's.]

[And... honestly, it's kind of good just to hear him laugh. So. He manages a grin.]
Please don't. That's sensitive.
[How do you even say that with a straight face, you ass.]

[There's no way it had. Lance saw those abs in the bathroom, good sir.]

Matt did say I should... work out more.
[Is he teasing. We just don't know.]

If you start now, you won't hurt as bad in two months.

[Or least Lance thinks so, but what does he know? He's never dated anybody in the first place.]

Okay. I'll. Get on that anyway.
