6th [video network post]

Hey everyone!

[Kazuki waves at the camera. One thing about him immediately sticks out-- He's wearing traditional Japanese clothing. On his shoulder is his Sensu Oricorio, who is also wearing a loose jacket, behind him, his Primarina, wearing a cute furisode with fur trim, and finally, near his feet, his Vulpix, wearing a tiny yukata made for a four-legged Pokemon.]

[The Oricorio looks quite severe, but the Primarina and Vulpix are obviously having fun playing dress-up. Kazuki himself looks proud, and also a bit bashful.]


There's a point to this, I swear. [He chuckles nervously.] It's my birthday today-- and before you say anything, it's okay that you don't know if you don't know! I'd have to tell you it was coming up first for that to be something to worry about! And that'd be too embarrassing, you know? Hey! My birthday is tomorrow! I want a cake! [He laughs again.] Nah, there's no way I could do that. I don't mind things like this.

But anyways-- I'm turning 20! Back in my world, in Japan, 20 is when a person comes of age. It's a tradition there that the January after you turn 20, you wear formal clothes-- either or a suit or old-timey stuff like this-- and go to the prefectural office for the seijin-shiki, the coming of age ceremonies. Then you usually have a party with friend and family...

Anyways, I know it's not Coming-of-Age Day yet, but I figured I'd celebrate early since that isn't a thing here. I flew up here to Ecruteak to rent some clothes for the day, and, well, these three insisted on joining in on the fun.

[His Primarina opens a fan and flutters it demurely in front of his face. The Oricorio shakes it's head and shows him the real way one handles a fan. Meanwhile, the Vulpix looks up at her trainer with shining eyes.]

I've always felt younger than I actually am, but I guess I really feel like a man when I wear these clothes. I think I'm gonna try to be more mature from here on out!

Oh-- And if you've got a tradition like Coming-of-Age Day in your world, tell me about it! I'd really like to know!

Sure, I don't mind. My schedule is pretty light during the holidays, so I can help out as much as possible.

I'm sure they'd love to see him. The whole pod seems to love it whenever a new young Lapras joins them. Even if it is just for a play session. Even Skye gets in on the fun.

[Lapras: they love babies.]

Is that really true? Back home, you can buy alcohol whenever you want. We weren't allowed to drink while we were in the training legions, but that was more because our commanding officers didn't want to deal with drunk or hungover recruits.

[Armin smiles, a little wry.]

Back home when we make bad decisions, we need to run laps until we drop. It's... a very good deterrent. Well, for most people.

They're definitely pretty cute. Though my Sylveon can give me trouble sometimes...

Don't worry, I'll make sure to give it as much positive energy as I can.

That's a good basic start. You can make rice and curry. I'll show you some overseas stuff too.

There are a couple people I don't mind it from.

But yeah. I have before.

No, they're all pretty adamant I'm not their father.

Someone I've met here.

That does sound fun, as long as you're not picky. Any local recommendations?

Oh that's an easy recipe! I can certainly show you how to make that.

They do, though apparently an Eevee also has to know a Fairy type move in order to evolve into a Sylveon. [Though by now, Yuuko suspects that Twizzle just ate a lot of Pokepuffs in order to evolve.]

That we would.

'Our' culture? I'm not trying to be difficult, but I doubt you and I are from the same culture. Or time. Or world.

It's something I should likely ask Mr. Ford about.

I don't think I'd be talking with you if I was. Our normal runs were already bad enough.

[He's also a good boy who doesn't generally get into trouble. Not that he doesn't break his rules, he's just subtle about it, okay.]
