[It's the Indigo Plateau. Still cold, still looking as chilly and mountainous as ever. With a notable exception - namely, a bedraggled-looking Shiro and his equally bedraggled team of pokemon. They're all crowding around him, trying to get a look at the camera.]

[Shiro is... grinning? Widely. He looks happier than he's looked in a long time, with one arm slung around his Aggron's broad neck, the other holding the camera out as far as possible.]

- Okay, okay! Come on. It's recording, guys, get in here.

[Umbreon hops up onto his shoulder, fur a little singed, sticking up in weird places. Marowak peers up from the bottom of the screen - helmet dinged and nicked in places. Gallade wiggles in, Gengar waving delightedly - lifting its hand up over the top of Gallade's head. Which... means Incineroar just flat out picks up Gallade to get in on this too, all of them squishing in with their Trainer like it's a big class photo.]

Hi everyone. Long time no chat. We've been busy up here... had a bad run first off, but the team pulled it together. They pulled it together really well.

[With a chorus of Pokemon agreement.]

And that means?

You're looking at the 13th Champions of the League.

[More loud, boistrous Pokemon cheering. Incineroar ends up dropping Gallade to scoop Shiro up instead. There's not much else he can do - and ends up fumbling the 'gear. It lands face-up, thankfully, for more shots of celebrating Pokemon.]

[Celebrating pokemon and Shiro's bemused, final statement - ]

... guys, we need to go back and apologize to Bruno again. Calm - calm down a minute! You didn't let me say it on the recording - !

[/END FEED.]




[Except for a final text.]

Formal apology goes to Bruno. Again. I swear I can count to four.

There's not a lot to be pessimistic about here, in my experience, thankfully.

You acclimating all right? I hear the sudden change is rough on some people.

Well enough, We trolls are knoWn to be adaptable—jade bloods especially—and I'd be one sorry excuse for one if I couldn't handle this Wiggler-friendly planet.
Not to say there isn't some things I miss, but they're not entirely unaVailable, they're just also not quite the same, nor as easily accessible.
But I'll surViVe.

[shiro2hero]

Well, that's good. A lot of people have a rough time adjusting. But I've always been human, so I... unfortunately can't be much help.

There's an aWful lot of you. And not because We're all turned into them regardless of What We Were before, but it seems like a fair many of you Were human before arriVing here.
Or, if they Weren't called "human" specifically, there still basically Weren't any physical changes done upon arriVal.
I haVe to Wonder, just hoW many planets haVe humans subjugated? Since this isn't the planet any other human is from, yet humans are the dominant species here, but I had neVer heard of your kind before shoWing up here.
