[A glimpse of his apartment is on screen and it looks like there's a lot of crafts happening with necklaces, jars filled with jam..etc. Plus there looks to be...eggs. A few of them! Zuke looks calm and relaed, but also very very tired. Very. A big yawn happens before he talks.]

Gayu Guru Gerai Nyamai, and a Happy Gawai Day to you guys.

[A small beat.]

Oh, Gawai marks the end of the padi harvesting season in Sarawak, which is off the coast of my home country. It's meant to set off peace and prosperity after a great and successful harvesting season. Perfect for the beginning of summer. And it's fitting because well...

[Zuke moved the gear to look at all the goods he was making, including the eggs.]

So, sorry for the radio silence. I'm sure most of you guys know, I took a financial hit when the Braviary wrecked all my gear for my tours. So I had to place things on hold and find some creative outlets to make some change to make it all back up and get new stuff.

And well...my team thought I should actually try being a breeder like I was meant to, haha. So...fruits of all of our labor, I guess. I got a few many eggs if people are interested.

What sort of eggs do you have available?

[Maybe he can get something either for himself or Abbacchio...]

[Radley smiles. He likes learning about other cultures and holidays.]

Happy Gawai day to you! That sounds like a nice celebration.

I've been wondering how you're doing. It looks like you've been busy. Your Pokemon too.

[He chuckles.]

What kind of eggs do you have?

Hey there.

[Always with the chill greetings as he turned to look at his eggs.]

I have about three soon to be Grookey, three Ralts, and two Toxel.

It is. Summer harvests are pretty important and even though I'm not in my home country...living in one and enjoying the fruits of labor makes up for it. And I mean literally, hahaha.

[Hence the jams in jars. Looks like someone has been into fruit alright.]

I have Grookey, Ralts, and Toxel eggs.

That looks delicious! Are you selling the jam too? I'm sure that would be a hit at my place.

How much for a Ralts egg? I've been thinking of getting one of those.

Oh that? Yeah! There's a huge farmer's market here that happens weekly. That's where I go to sell my stuff. I've been busy making jams...and jam, you could say. Hah.

[Nevermind that Zuke's Slowbro was in the back of the room and eating one with his Sliggoo. Call it advertising. And a huge mess.]

I was thinking around 500P? Interested?

Cool. If you're interested, I'd love to cut a deal with you to try out your jam on my restaurant's breakfast and lunch menus.

[Well, at least the scene in the background showed the jam was yummy....]

Definitely! Where are you at right now?

[Bucciarati comes back just a bit later because he had to hassle Abbacchio with a question, but he seems pretty pleased.]

One of my friends got here not terribly long ago, so I'd like to buy a Ralts egg for him.

[And after some consideration--]

And I think if you end up having any Toxel eggs left over after more people have had a fair shot at getting one, I'd be interested in buying one for myself.

Done, you were the first here to buy so the little guy is all yours.

[Pause.]

I'll consider you an interested party if no one claims one. I just want them to find a nice home.

Whoa...really? You own a joint too?

[...uh oh my god???]

I-I...gosh, I would love to! Where's that at?

Yeah, I get it.

[He smiles a bit.]

... By the way, would one of those necklaces you have there be for sale as well?

[Zuke's eyes lit up, and he turned to show his necklaces. They were laced with colorful shells and and earthy beads. Some had coral, some had some raw stones. They were natural and sentimentally made. Like he wanted them to be meaningful and nice.]

Yeah...they are. I sell them at the weekly market but if people are interested here, sure. Is there any one you'd like to look at?

I'd like to take a closer look at some of those coral ones, if you don't mind? They're all lovely.

[Ask and you shall receive. Zuke tried to hide his slightly flushed face at the compliment to show a variety of his wares. They were all natural, like he spent a good amount of time on beaches. Such as this. Or with a bit more wire. Some were muted for a more masculine look. Finally, some had shells.]

... Oh, I love the ones with the coral and shells. How much for one of those?

Yeah! I'm just getting ready to open. I'm in Goldenrod.

[Of course he would want to try it himself first, but it looked like it was turning a profit so far, so he imagined it was good.]

[ Luisa hasn't seen much of Zuke since...maybe prom? So she's glad that to see him still around. ] Hey! It's good to hear from you. I'm glad you're doing all right.

Happy...what was it you said? Gawai? It sounds like a holiday.

Got any foxes in those eggs?

Padi?

[Short, but she's curious about it.]

Rice.

[Short answer.]

Rice is important so a successful harvest is something worth celebrating.

Luisa, hey.

[A wink and a wave.]

Y-yeah, that's my bad. I let my "adventure" get in the way of a lot the last month but I'm coming out of it.

Also yep, that's right. It's a ceremonious day that marks the end of the harvesting season for crop. It's meant to give thanks and hopes of a good fruitful season ahead.

Oh! Right around the corner!

You should give me the details so I can come when I swing next. I live in Azalea so it's just a hopskip over.

[He had to be confident in his over the phone sales pitch.]

Well...what do you think is fair? I generally have a flat fee of 100P but I can certainly bargain...

Don't have any fox Pokémon I'm afraid...Sorry. Maybe someone else does?

Great!

[Radley gives him the address and directions to it. His Pokemon make commentary in the background.]
