[ The video comes on to show a brightly grinning newcomer! He's already on Route 29, having bolted from New Bark the moment he had his feet under him and his Pokemon given to him. ]

Hey world! I just got here and I got this super cool dog! Look at him! He's on his back legs and run like a champ, it's amazing! Show 'em what ya got Danny! [ The camera focuses on a Riolu, bright-eyed and eager. Danny the Riolu playfully flexed it's not-impressive arms, before turning and using his Quick Attack to show off his speed. Zip-zip! But then Ash quickly told Danny to stop and turned the camera again; this time it lands on a Sentret nearby. ]

Holy shit, who's that Pokemon? I'm gonna try and catch it. Here, hold this- [ Wait. The camera's being handed to the Riolu. Who turns it on himself and winks, before turning it back to Ash, who is trying to sneak up on the Sentret. Before lunging for it, trying to physically grab it. The Sentret rightly squeaks and struggles with him, before getting a good Scratch on his arm and bolting off. Someone skipped the tutorial on how to catch Pokemon... ]

Ah, ffffff-uck-

If you see any plant ones, I'd like to see those. There's only so many you can find in a city.

[Which is to say, almost none. Camping out in the National Park had been good for her, despite the cold. She should do that again soon.]

You got it! Well, I'll cya around Anthy. I gotta keep moving to make it to the next city...let's see- [ it's clear he's put her call in a corner of the gear's screen, switching over to the map. Yeah, he didn't check anything before rushing out the door and away from Not-Mum. ]

Cherrygrove! If you're there, let me know so we can meet up in person sometime.

No, I'm a little further out. I'm in a city called Goldenrod.

It'll probably take me a while to get that far. Aw well. [ He shrugs, bringing the chat back to the focus of the screen. ] Either way, I'll be keeping an eye out for those grass types along the way.

They might not be out right away. It is very cold. But I did find one myself, would you like to see her?

[Do you want to see a tiny sentient rosebud]

Oh man, I'd love to! [ Please show him! He holds Danny in his lap, so the Riolu doesn't jump up and hog the screen. ]

[Hold on there, Ash - Anthy reaches for a Pokeball, calmly pressing the button to let a Budew emerge. It looks around a little at first, then notices the 'gear is on...and just full-on tilts its little body.]

This is Setina - my friend Setina.

Hey Setina! [ Wow, it's literally a little walking bud! He wasn't sure what he was expecting but it's definitely cute. Danny playfully copies her tilt. ]

Man, I wonder what they'll bloom into.

I'm not sure, but I'm looking forward to finding out.

Give me a ring when she does, I'd love to see it! Make sure you bloom really big, yeah? [ The second part he addresses to Setina, as if encouraging a kid to do something for their parent. ]

[The Budew beams, raising her head up as much as one can when your body is mostly a head. She'll be the best, you just wait and see!]

Sure, okay! We'll both do our best!
