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!

Mahogany. I have work at the rink, but I still try to go out to the lake so Flip can go swimming.

[And of course, that cues Flip the Dewgong to poke her head in and bark in greeting. It's been a while!]

That's right, I remember you mentioned that. Lavender's all the way in Kanto, isn't it?

[Flip barks again and happily claps her flippers together. She's calmed down and matured somewhat since evolving, but sometimes she can be just as excitable as when Yuuko first met her.]

Oh, really? I have friends in Sevii too, though I just take the ferry from Olivine to get there. [She really needs to borrow someone's Fly HM one of these days...]

Oh, I remember hearing Armin talking about breeding Lapras. Did you get yours from him?

Oh...I'm glad you managed to find him and give him a good home. I hear there aren't a lot of Lapras out there as it is.

What?! That's awful! I've heard they kidnap people's Pokemon, but I didn't think they'd go that far. I'm glad I haven't run into any of them...

I won't. Though I get the feeling some of them won't let that happen anyway.

[Hearing that, Flip bears her teeth. She's got tusks, and she's not afraid to use them!]
