[ The feed opens to Luisa, looking a bit confused in what looks to be some kind of cave behind and around her. She's frowning, and for a moment seems to be trying to think of what to say. ]

So...I know we just got back from Hisui and everything, and there have even been some Pokemon from Hisui here. But, uh...

[ The camera turns, and there is a Hisuian Liligant that seems to be observing its reflection in a pool of water. ]

The thing is, I caught Florita as a Petilil here in Johto. [ The camera turns back to Luisa. ] Or well, I guess not in Johto technically. It was on that island we went to for prom. But I caught her here before all the Hisui stuff happens. That's why I'm surprised that she evolved as the Hisuian one.

[ Finally seeming to realize that she's being talked about, the Hisuian Liligant looks up, and the camera turns again as she gives a happy little trill and spins around in place. From behind the camera, Luisa laughs a little. ]

I think I might need to start calling you something else now...

Eleven members! Goodness... Well, I'm glad at least one of them is here with you. I guess the odds were kind of in your favor at that point, though. Eleven...

Oh wow, really? Like in a magical way? Or is she a gardener? Which is also very cool, I think. Especially if you're growing crops.

[neverbreaks]

Yeah. I'm lucky she's here, though I do worry about her getting hurt sometimes.

[ As nice as this place could seem, there are still dangers around, after all. ]

Mostly in a magical way, but she's gotten to like gardening too! But she has a power that lets her grow all kinds of plants and flowers. She's gotten really fond of growing cacti recently.

[soupguy]

Oh... Yeah, that does make sense, to worry. I hadn't thought of it that way.

A magical power... Wow-- Wait, does that mean you're not a Silly Creature either? [A soft snort.] Or, well, weren't one?

[neverbreaks]

Yeah. I do my best to look out for her when I can, but... [ She hesitates, then shrugs a little. ] Well, so far everything's been going all right.

[ She still keeps an eye out, though. ]

Uh...Silly Creature? [ It's a cute name, but she isn't entirely sure what it's referring. ] My sisters and I are humans, though.

[soupguy]

Same thing, I think.

That's too bad, though... I mean, not that it's bad to be a-- Whatever you guys like to be called. It's just that I'm not one, or not supposed to be one at least, and it's kind of nice to talk to others who know what that's like.

[neverbreaks]

Oh, okay. [ It's not a bad name, to be honest. ]

Oh, you're not a human? I remember someone saying they weren't one either. I'm really sorry about that, though.

[soupguy]

You don't have to be sorry, I don't hold being human against you. And really, I know what matters is that we, all of us, can relate to each other in other ways.

[neverbreaks]

Yeah, I guess that is true. Still, it must be pretty tough having to get used to being something you weren't.

[soupguy]

It is, yes. I miss my tail, and being small-- It's so much easier to hide when you're smaller.

[neverbreaks]

I imagine it would, yeah. [ Luisa hasn't been small for a long while now, but that sounds about right. ] But is there any thing about being human that you like?

[soupguy]

Not really. I mean, I guess Pokemon would be a lot scarier if I was normal again. But, like I said, then I could hide better.

It's okay, though. Sometimes you just don't like how things go.

[neverbreaks]

I guess so. It must still be pretty frustrating though.

Do you mind me asking what you were back in your world?
