[The video comes from inside Mt. Moon, and features a very resigned-looking Boober who has, apparently, tucked himself into a little cranny in cave walls. He's just sitting there, crossed-legged, with a Carbink in his lap.]

You know, I liked this at first. Not... Not being here, in general, but this mountain. It's homey, and I found some beautiful stones. Real honeys.

[He doesn't sound happy about any of that, though, and he doesn't waste any more time in getting to why that is:] Then, when we were setting up camp for the night, some kind of rock-monster Pokemon stole them, and I-I don't know what I was thinking, but I started to chase it, but then it just ate the rocks! I don't know why.

I mean, I guess it just eats... rocks? Because then it tried to go after this lil thing. [Boober idly fluffs up the soft mane around Carbink's neck.] My team was able to help with that, and um.

I think Carbink's going to be coming with me now. Which is nice, it is...

[Of course, that's assuming he ever leaves his new-found hiding spot.]

I'm not sure what to call it yet, though.

[He smiles a little, because really, more people need to appreciate things like neat pebbles and stones.]

Mount Moon is where I found those... I've got a few others in different spots in Kanto so far, though, along with other stuff I've been collecting as we go.

Do you collect rocks, too?

I wouldn't say rocks specifically, but I'm certainly interested in their historic symbolism; stones are the things that truly tell the tales of older times, and it's fascinating what stories can be gleaned from them!

Oh, really? I mean, that does make sense. Rocks last a long time... But I just like having them. I never thought about what there is to learn from them.

There's no shame in admitting to that- nor is there shame in simply appreciating their beauty either, I feel. In fact, I dare say you likely appreciate their nature far more than I-!
