01 - video
[The network gets a video displaying something that is likely familiar to every single viewer: a dreaded Ledge. Altogether, it looks unintimidating, a lovely short grass path just a few feet above another like it, likely on one of the earlier, calmer routes. The only thing out of place, really, is a man scratching his chin, staring at the shelf of rock like it’s some nigh impossible math problem.
The thing is, he’s huge. Taller than the ledge, even. He can literally peer over the top of it.
First, he lifts the Pokemon at his side, a particularly lethargic Teddiursa, and carefully places it atop the ridge. It promptly tumbles over the side and starts to slide back down, although its trainer catches it before it can sustain any injuries. This repeats once or twice, to the human’s mounting chagrin.
Now, he sets the bear cub on his shoulder and makes as if he’s going to climb the microscopic cliff as Teddiursa settles comfortably in his poncho. And once again, in spite of the high likelihood of him being able to uproot a tree with his bare hands judging by his muscle mass, he can’t keep a grip, and slips down the rocks. His brows furrow deeply as he motions with a hand to the top of the ledge, then to his own head, like one would compare heights.
His shoulders slump as he finally makes his way to the Gear, patting whatever Pokemon has been kind enough to record for him before picking it up and giving the camera an exasperated look.]
So... what's goin’ on with that?

[Thankfully Livio is just really good at tuning things out. The music isn't a huge bother at this point. The future remains to be seen.]
Thank ya! You from somewhere else too, I take it?

[He'll never forget arriving into a rather rainy week and having to hike three days to the next town in said rain. Not fun.]
Nice to meet you too! It shouldn't take long to get settled in, at least, as long as nothing weird like the giant worms happens again.

Giant worms? That don't sound too weird to me, matter o' fact!
