[The feed opens on a Sobble dancing and singing, bundled up in a little Sobble-sized sweater that Ember bought for him. The video plays out for a little bit, and then as the Sobble finally finishes, he plops down looking happy with himself. Ember turns the camera to herself and smiles.]

I didn't think I'd get attached, but he reminds me so much of Wade. I guess he has Wade's spirit in him. I named him Tide - guess I don't have to look for the perfect water type anymore.

Anyway, you're supposed to do a New Years resolution, right? I think mine is to leave Goldenrod and do the gym challenge. Yeah, yeah - leaving in the middle of winter when you're a fire elemental is not the best idea, but I've felt so... stuck lately. I think I need a change. I'm packing up and leaving tomorrow!

Which means... I'm going to miss the next episode of Legit Crime! I'll... have to catch up on it in the next town I'm in. NO ONE SPOIL THE EPISODE FOR ME, OKAY?

Happy New Years, everyone!

Oh, I didn't just meet Tide! I got a Ponyta egg as well, except when she hatched, her flames were blue instead of red?

And a bull has been following you around? That's gotta be a weird situation... oh! And a cactus Pokemon! We have a cactus people back home. I have to take care not to get too close to them. Fire and earth don't mix very well...

Oh yeah, and thanks for the gift you got me for Christmas!

Whoa! Blue flames instead of the regular red? That is pretty amazing. My Maractus doesn’t come in shiny form but he does have a rare ability which might come in handy in battle. Antonio would be very happy to meet another Poynta someday.

Yeah, that bull didn’t just followed me around. He also wants to challenge Luisa in a battle too. Apparently he seems to get her approval as he seems to have a crush or something. Pretty weird time to be followed by a persistent bull in the Sevii Islands.

You’re welcome Ember. I thought that the figurines will get you so excited in finding more Fire types in your journey.

A shiny? Is that what my Ponyta is?

... Oh wow, huh. That's pretty weird! Did you catch the bull eventually? What happened to it?

And it totally did!

[senorita_perfecta]

Yeah, as it turns out, Pokémon do have shiny forms. They seem to be very rare and, from what I have heard, some trainers would search high and low to find them. Some people might even breed for shinies as well.

I happen to have one too and he happens to be a dog too. An electric shiny good canine boy at that.

(The Maractus happily dances about as Isabela explains about shinies, completely oblivious to Isa’s next answer.)

Yeah, it is a weird experience. I still can’t get over how much that Tauros is head over heels for me and I never have an animal or a Pokémon crushing on me this hard before. So far not yet, he seems to be more interested in fighting Luisa right now. And he’s still following after us all over Sevii too.

(OOC: Isabela will catch that pesky Tauros at the end of the month/start of February and he is going to be a tanky high level fellow too.)

Oh wow! I didn't know they came in rare colors! That's awesome, and I got lucky enough that my fire horse was one of them!

And geez, it must really like you! I hope it doesn't ruin your vacation.

[senorita_perfecta]

Yep, it is always cool to have Pokémon in these rare colors and I’m pretty happy to hear of both Tide and your horse having them. Maybe I can try to catch another Shiny someday too. If I get lucky during walks with my team, I might see one and catch it to add into the team.

Oh why thanks. He must have liked me enough to follow us around in the islands for sure, so that might be something good. I do hope that the Tauros won’t make things harder for us as well.
