victory_road | [Video] An Announcement!

[When the Gear starts up, Matt can be seen framed against the outside of the observatory. He's wearing a lab coat, his red-blonde hair a mess, but he's obviously thrilled. He waves, as he starts to speak.]

Hi everyone out there! For those of you who might not know, I'm Matt Holt, and, well, I guess you could say that I run the Sevii Observatory. I wanted to invite everyone to come to the observatory this week for a spectacular sight.

Starting tonight, and going for about a week, there is going to be a large Minior Shower after dark. From the research I've done, it looks like it's going to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This weekend, there's going to be even more Miniors, and possibly other pokemon that will appear. It's going to be fantastic.

I'll be at the observatory all night to answer any questions people have, and to help people use our telescopes to see the Miniors, planets, and stars.

If anyone wants to join me, or set up some kind of booth... please, only things like food and education opportunities, let me know! I do have some tables and a couple tents I could set up.

Thanks, all, and I hope to see you there!

[The Gear shuts off as Matt leans against the building behind him, looking like he just ran a marathon. Boy doesn't like talking to lots of people.]

A Minior Shower?! You mean there's going to be a whole bunch of Little Dippers raining down from the sky?!

[Someone is extremely excited about this!!

Mabel is hugging her Minior close as she vibrates at the prospect, the Pokemon thrumming in delight.]

Is it just going to be on the island or is it going to be everywhere? I want to get one of every color!!!

Yup.

[Matt grins. He's quickly becoming quite fond of Mabel.]

From what I can tell, it's just going to be on the island. I've been talking to the ferries, and they're going to make extra trips for this.

Omigoshomigosh--I have to tell Dipper! We have to come back to visit because we totally have to be there for it!!

[She hasn't a feeling it won't be hard to convince her brother because ALIEN POKEMON ARE GOING TO BE FALLING FROM THE SKY!!!]

This is going to be so cool! Little Dipper we're going to get you some new friends that are just like you!!

[Her Minior thrums again and Mabel giggles, turning her 10,000 watt smile on Matt.]

We're definitely going to come visit!!

Awesome. It'll be a great time, I promise.

[Really, Matt's as excited as anyone else over this whole thing. He loves sharing Space with people.]

[That gets a snort out of Mabel as she playfully rolls her eyes, smile unwavering.]

Of course it will be! Alien Pokemon are going to be falling from the sky and we get to see our friends! Sounds totally awesome to me!!
