[The feed opens with a view of someone wearing a painted Mandalorian helmet. The background is one of overcast skies and there’s a view of the ocean in the distance. Those familiar with the area would probably recognize it as Cerulean Cape. The helmeted lady sounding a little winded as she speaks.]

This is Bo-Katan. I need some advice on how to deal with a… difficult Pokémon.

[She definitely sounds exasperated as she sighs. Her helmet tilting as she looks at something offscreen. Bo hasn’t had any issues with any of the Pokémon she’s caught until now, and she’s not sure what to do about it.]

Din? That master ball you gave me?

[The camera then turns to show a huge, pissed off, dragon.]

It worked.

[And now she’s wondering what she’s gotten herself into.]

Comments

[crystalmaster]

Yeah. Evie the Eevee. I promise I got better at naming.

[Radley smirks a bit.]

I sure do. I breed Eevees. Both of these two evolved ones I knew from eggs. The Sylveon, Selene, belonged to a friend of mine. When he left, she came back to me. Levi also belonged to a friend, but he went home before the egg hatched.

[A Glaceon also appears, happily leading a whole flock of Eevees.]

[mywayistheway]

[He can’t see it but her eyes go wide underneath the helmet when she sees a veritable army of Eevee come into view.]

So you’re one of those breeders then.

[They must really be prolific!]

No offense, but do you really need so many?

[crystalmaster]

Yeah. It's a good life.

[He smirks more.]

Need? Not necessarily. But I can't resist them.

[The Eevees jump on the furniture and stretch out. One is a cream color instead of brown.]

[mywayistheway]

Well. They are adorable I’ll give you that.

[Someone seems to get curious as a Rowlet decides to land on Bo’s helmet and peers into the camera with a tilted head.]

I personally wouldn’t mind another one of these.

[crystalmaster]

Oh yeah.

[Radley smiles.]

Those are cute too. One of my best friends has one.

[mywayistheway]

So then what do you like about Eevee other than being cute?

[Is there another reason? She’s curious to know why the appeal.]

[crystalmaster]

They're very loyal and loving. They seem so completely innocent and pure. And they remind me of cats back home.

[Evie snuggles him in bliss.]

[mywayistheway]

Do you have any other Pokémon or just the Eevees and… what they evolve into.

[Bo likes the Pokémon she’s got but she doesn’t see herself liking any quite that much.]

[crystalmaster]

I do have some others.

[Radley looks amused.

Some Skitties and two Espurrs appear, along with two Alolan Vulpixes. Both Vulpixes look like divas.]

[mywayistheway]

[A bunch of small fuzzy things essentially. All of which she hasn’t seen until now.]

You definitely have a theme.

[While she appreciates cute things as much as the next person, they’re not really her thing.]

The closest I have to any of those is… Tooka come here.

[The camera turns to a rather ordinary looking Meowth.]

[crystalmaster]

[Radley smirks.]

Oh yeah.

[He smiles to see the Meowth, and his Pokemon call greetings.]

I need to get one of those. Hi, Tooka!

[mywayistheway]

[Tooka peers into the camera with her big eyes and greets the other Pokémon back!]

There’s definitely no shortage of them around here. Though you’re a breeder, so if you would rather breed your own I wouldn’t mind letting you borrow her if she’s up for it.

[crystalmaster]

Thanks! I'll let you know.

[He does enjoy breeding Pokemon. But he also curiously wonders if a Meowth might decide to adopt him, as several other Pokemon did, so part of him wants to look for one in the wild first.]

[mywayistheway]

[It doesn’t really matter to Bo but the offer will stand if he decides he wants to do it.]

Oh, I didn’t get your name.

[crystalmaster]

[Radley appreciates it.]

Radley. And you?

[mywayistheway]

Bo-Katan Kryze

I’ve only been here for a few weeks. What about you?

[crystalmaster]

About a year and a half. I run a cafe in Goldenrod City.

[mywayistheway]

I passed through there not long after I arrived. A friend of mine brought me to Kanto.

Most everyone I’ve met have been here a long time.

[crystalmaster]

Cool.

Yeah, it doesn't seem like we get as many new arrivals these days.

[mywayistheway]

Then I’m just lucky I guess.

[Can you hear the sarcasm?]

[crystalmaster]

[Radley definitely does.]

At least you found a friend. Is it someone you knew from home?

[He's always happy to hear about friends reuniting here. He longs for that so much for himself.]

[mywayistheway]

Yes.

[A pause.]

But he doesn’t remember much of the time we spent together.

[crystalmaster]

Oh.

[Radley frowns.]

I’m sorry. That must be tough.

[He wonders sometimes what would happen if he finally sees Kalin again, but Kalin’s from before the time they met. That might crush him, especially when they have so much unresolved between them, at least as far as Radley’s concerned.]

[mywayistheway]

It’s fine.

[It’s not fine. But Bo isn’t going to say as much. It has certainly crushed her a little bit.]

[crystalmaster]

[Radley is sure it’s not fine. But he won’t press. They barely know each other.

“Eevee-vee?” says Evie, wanting to be comforting.]
