Must just be the time of year for introspection... because now it's my turn.

[He trails off, thoughtfully, while he tosses a little stuffed Rattata toy for his Meowth. The kitten keeps jumping for it, batting it back over across the porch.]

I'm sure someone's asked this already, but out of curiosity -- Has anyone had to deal with a pokemon they're not sure they can train? Not because it's too strong, too wild... it's not the pokemon's fault.

[It's mine, in other words.]

I'd hate to give the little guy up. The whole team likes him... so I guess I'm looking for tips on not reacting when I work with him.

[There's a beat, and Shiro's expression darkens.]

No, for the record, it isn't the Furret.

[Hunk clears his throat on camera, then offers a gentle wave]

Hey everyone, hope you had an awesome holiday. Spent it with awesome people, stuffing your faces with awesome food. That's what it's all about, yeah?

As one of many food enthusiasts in this place, I have a quick q since I haven't been here as long as a lot of you. One food nerd to another, I'm like super into discovering new ingredients. When me and my buddies were checking out new planets as a part of Voltron that was kind of one of my side games, you know? I take a lot of pride in being able to source my food, or at least know where it came from.

So I just gotta ask, because it's driving me nuts. Where does the meat around here come from? Like, I haven't seen any real local wild life at all.

[ Romelle decided to find an out-of-the-way grove to set up camp for the night and figured that she might as well send out a message. She hasn't seen any familiar faces yet, but that doesn't mean that they're not around. Her Growlithe curls on her lap to keep her warm while she sets up her 'gear.

Mumbling: ] The red light is on, so it must be... Oh, hello! My name is Romelle and I'm a new "Trainer." I am not quite sure what that means and that woman rushed me out of the house before really answering any of my questions.

[ She huffs a little. It was rather rude. ]

Anyway. If anyone out there has advice or information for a new Trainer, I would greatly appreciate it.

[ She gives the camera a small and slightly self-conscious wave before turning off her 'gear. ]

[video] The stars are brightly shining...

[When the 'gear starts broadcasting, all that can be seen is a view of a beach, stars shining on the horizon. After a moment, it turns, showing a red-haired man lying on his back on a beachtowel, hands behind his head, staring up at the stars.

What Matt doesn't know is that Venus and Kerberos are conspiring to bring his introspection to the network.]

I never realized how odd it was to see different stars. They're seen as constants, as something that's always there and never changing. But... when you see an entirely different positioning, it's like everything's off somehow.

The stars here are so close to home that it's almost familiar, but different enough to be unsettling. I wonder...

[Any more introspection is cut off by a quiet snicker from Venus, and Matt sitting up.]

Hey! Both of you! Stop that! Ugh. How much were you filming....

[The feed cuts off quickly, before it starts rolling back to the house.]

6th [video network post]

Hey everyone!

[Kazuki waves at the camera. One thing about him immediately sticks out-- He's wearing traditional Japanese clothing. On his shoulder is his Sensu Oricorio, who is also wearing a loose jacket, behind him, his Primarina, wearing a cute furisode with fur trim, and finally, near his feet, his Vulpix, wearing a tiny yukata made for a four-legged Pokemon.]

[The Oricorio looks quite severe, but the Primarina and Vulpix are obviously having fun playing dress-up. Kazuki himself looks proud, and also a bit bashful.]

There's a point to this, I swear. [He chuckles nervously.] It's my birthday today-- and before you say anything, it's okay that you don't know if you don't know! I'd have to tell you it was coming up first for that to be something to worry about! And that'd be too embarrassing, you know? Hey! My birthday is tomorrow! I want a cake! [He laughs again.] Nah, there's no way I could do that. I don't mind things like this.

But anyways-- I'm turning 20! Back in my world, in Japan, 20 is when a person comes of age. It's a tradition there that the January after you turn 20, you wear formal clothes-- either or a suit or old-timey stuff like this-- and go to the prefectural office for the seijin-shiki, the coming of age ceremonies. Then you usually have a party with friend and family...

Anyways, I know it's not Coming-of-Age Day yet, but I figured I'd celebrate early since that isn't a thing here. I flew up here to Ecruteak to rent some clothes for the day, and, well, these three insisted on joining in on the fun.

[His Primarina opens a fan and flutters it demurely in front of his face. The Oricorio shakes it's head and shows him the real way one handles a fan. Meanwhile, the Vulpix looks up at her trainer with shining eyes.]

I've always felt younger than I actually am, but I guess I really feel like a man when I wear these clothes. I think I'm gonna try to be more mature from here on out!

Oh-- And if you've got a tradition like Coming-of-Age Day in your world, tell me about it! I'd really like to know!

24th Recipe [Video, Goldenrod City]

[The shot opens up on an alley of stalls at Goldenrod's Christmas Market. People and Pokemon are walking by, all in good cheer, shopping and snacking on holiday treats. Soft, colored light seem to frame the entire scene. The view pulls back to show that it's being filmed through a fence that's been liberally wound with multicolored string lights. There's a red picnic table before the filmer (one at which presumably they are sitting), and a couple of reusable totes to one side, packed full with spoils from the market. The view dips down a little and lingers on the empty space in front of the filmer, where someone else could be sitting. Where someone else would likely be sitting.]

...Do you ever just feel sort of...disappointed in things, sometimes?

[It's Jane's voice, but she hasn't turned the camera around to face her. She doesn't want to. Instead, it lifts up and focuses back on the people going back and forth in the market proper.]

Like...not to be a humbug, never, but for example, the holidays. You get everything ready to go and look forward to a million little things and when the day finally turns up on the calendar it's. It's not quite right. Or something's missing. Or someone's not around anymore and nothing feels like it should.

[There's a little sigh, and a lingering pause.]

Sorry, I'm just. In a mood, I guess. A lonely mood. Which is so silly, I'm not alone here...none of us are really alone here. But it's possible to be lonely. [Another pause as the feed pulls back towards the picnic table. There's a small cup of hot cocoa, joined after a moment by an empty cup placed down by two small, pink hands - Dinah's here, she's always here.] If you're at the market, do you want to join us for cocoa? I can cover you. [Jane rattles off the booth number and a couple of landmarks.] If not, I'd really love to just chat with someone today. About anything.

04 | Video

[Today's video focuses on Yuuko sitting at her table, looking slightly overwhelmed.]

So, um...over the past few weeks, my Pokemon have decided to leave me some eggs. Though since I'm technically a breeder, I can't say I didn't see it coming. [Seriously, she still can't wrap her head around the concept of Pokemon eggs. Especially when it's completely unknown how they're even made.]

Now that I've got all these eggs, I thought I'd ask if there's anyone who'd like some. [She makes the 'gear zoom out to reveal several baskets of eggs in front of her, all of which have been neatly labeled.] Right now I'm offering Cleffa, Pachirisu, both varieties of Vulpix, Eevee, Lillipup, Seel, and Duckle--oh.

[As Yuuko moves the 'gear, it's revealed that Biellmann the Swanna is sitting on one of the baskets of eggs. He's the dad of these ones, so apparently he feels it's his job to keep them warm. He is a very proud dad indeed.]

Biellmann, could you get up for a moment? I just want people to see the eggs.

[The Swanna rolls his eyes and puffs out his feathers irritably, but he does as Yuuko asks...for about three seconds, before sitting back down on the basket again. Yuuko just lets out a somewhat defeated laugh.]

Anyway, I'm selling these for only 500 Pokedollars each, so if you want any eggs, just let me know! [Please do, she's too young to be a Pokemon grandma already.]

[OOC: The full list of eggs is here if anyone still wants any!]

video; ghost friday

[Good morning, Network. Here we have an image of a kitchen in the Sevii Islands. Early morning, to be precise. And it looks like the resident Dorito is prepared for an announcement, sitting at the kitchen table, a mug of coffee sitting in front of him.]

[He takes a deep breath.]

I haven't been traveling in a long... long time. I think I gave it up for a while. So -- all things considered?

[Shiro ducks his head, intending to curl his hands around his coffee mug -- ] I'm going --

[His hands go right though the mug. Through the coffee. Like it's not even there at all. He stops speaking. Looks down. And tries again.]

[Several times. Each more flustered than the last. To no avail. It's as if the mug no longer exists. There's a muttered curse, and he makes to lean back in his chair -- only to go falling backward through the chair.]

[Silence.]

Haunter-!!

[The video ends there.]

Text Post Update from The Garrison Trio

[As promised, Pidge is putting up pictures of the little road trip that she, Lance, and Hunk have embarked on. It's a later update than she'd initially planned it to be, but better late than never, right? And in the interest of getting the news out to all of their friends (and Lance's friends, she doesn't even know who else that might include), Pidge makes them all available to the public.

There are photos as well as videos, and they're all absolutely ridiculous.

Posing with random objects that may or may not have been landmarks.
Hunk cooking over a campfire making a peace sign at the camera.
A bedtime selfie of the three of them all made up and wearing Lance's beauty masks.
Challenging each other to a hot sauce competition (which Pidge utterly lost, face red and tears in her eyes).
Singing songs with helium balloons.
Lance holding an impromptu "fashion show" with Pokémon themed outfits, Hunk cheering him on enthusiastically in the background.
Messing around with some of the Jennies.
Running from the Jennies.
A clip of the three of them playing Chubby Bunny.
A shot of Lance and Hunk leaning on each other, asleep and drooling.
Hunk giving a sleeping Pidge a piggy-back ride.
A selfie of Pidge while Lance gives her a pedicure and Hunk brushes her hair.
Clips of Lance twerking on the back of a bicycle (Hunk frets to the side and Pidge snort-laughs while recording).
And also of him dancing while keeping up with a moving bicycle.
...and a lot more.

There's a lot. Over the last several weeks, these three have been up to complete and utter shenanigans. But, as their friends can no doubt tell from the pictures, they're doing well and having a great time.

These are Shiro's kids. Teenagers being teenagers. Welcome to Team Voltron.]

03 | Accidental Video

[When this video turns on, it's facing out at the interior of the Mahogany Ice Rink. It's now evening, and the Mahogany Mamoswines have finished practice and gone home for the day, so the ice is currently empty...except for Yuuko, who can be seen skating in slow circles. She'd gotten a job here a few weeks ago and has been pretty good with managing the hockey equipment and helping to maintain the ice, but now that she's alone and at a skating rink for the first time in months, she just can't resist doing some after-hours skating herself.

She doesn't seem to be aware that she's being filmed; in fact, it looks like she's entirely lost in whatever music is playing through her head as she skates. At first she just slowly skates around the rink, but soon she picks up speed and does a few spins, first crouching down into a sit spin and then on one leg with her body parallel to the ice and her free leg held above hip level in a camel spin. At the moment, she's forgotten that she's been brought to the Pokemon world and is now immersing herself in the past, back to when she and Yuuri would practice their skating together at Ice Castle and try to copy the great Victor Nikiforov.

Then she picks up even more speed, and for the first time in a while, she does a jump, taking off from the back inside edge of one foot into a triple Salchow. The Salchow was the first jump she ever learned, but it's been a while since she attempted a triple; she manages the three rotations, though her landing is a bit wobbly.

There's an excited chirping behind the camera after Yuuko lands the jump, and that seems to snap Yuuko back to reality and look towards whoever's filming this.]

Wha--Twizzle?! [Yuuko's face turns red...mostly from embarrassment at being caught on camera during a private moment, but also from annoyance. She starts skating towards the camera, and the excited chirping turns into a nervous "eep!" at her darkening expression.]

What have I said about using my 'gear without permission?!

[The camera shakes and is then knocked onto its side as whoever's holding it hastily puts it down. You can briefly see a Sylveon bounding away through the doors to the front desk with Yuuko chasing after her, though Yuuko can't go very fast since she's wearing skates.] Twizzle! You get back here right now, young lady!

[The camera runs for another minute before a Snorunt hesitantly turns it off. Sorry about that last bit, folks.]

Video

[The video turns on the reveal a glowing egg smack in the middle of Viridian. It's at an angle that indicates the user is on the ground, not that it seems to matter because once the egg finishes it's glow, it reveals an Onix.

Hope clearly needed to do more research because --]

Whoa, it's huge!

[And that long, nearly 30ft rock snake was leaning in to the camera and Hope. Hello, world! It rumbles a bit and then quite suddenly, Hope is dropping the 'Gear is the massive rock head is snuggling him and, now seen from the ground, lifting him right into the air! Hope clings a bit to the ridge on top while Minccino is yelling at it to clearly put their trainer down!]

O-Onix, please! I don't think now is the time for this!

[Someone help Hope get down from the affectionate Onix? Its tail is rubbing at Hope's back, yup, very affectionate. Also, ow, that kind of hurt.]

Current Mood: excited

Oh I hope I'm doing this right!

[That sure is a very large, very pink woman filling the gear screen. Entirely filling, she's holding it rather close to her face as she beams into it with an expression of pure wonder. Say hello to your newest trainer: Rose Quartz.]

It's just this is all so strange! I wasn't expecting any of this at all!

[Rose isn't entirely sure what she had been expecting. It wasn't the sort of thing a mind, even one like hers, could really conceive of. Mostly she'd had a general idea of...warm pink nothingness. A swirling emptiness, which didn't make any sense, because emptiness and nothingess weren't things that could actually be experienced.]

[Waking up in a cute little human house with a cute little human woman named Mom - what a funny name for a human! - was about as difficult to conceive. But here she was. And beyond the strangeness of finding herself here, still existing and entirely herself...she's entirely human! Really really human! And she's already made new friends, even though it feels like she's only been here for a few minutes. Even as a human - or maybe especially as a human - time was so strange.]

[But it's all so wonderful!]

[Finally pulling the gear back some, Rose smiles brightly. A red trainer's cap is perched atop her mountain of pink hair. While there's a great deal she doesn't know, she does know that this little communication device will let her talk to all the other people who live here. Or at least the ones like her, who weren't born to this planet. And how amazing to think that humans existed somewhere else! There was so much more to the universe than she'd ever imagined, and her knowledge and imagination were vast things.]

Hello, Pokemon and Trainers! It's so wonderful to meet you all! I'm Rose Quartz. I'm still not sure how I can even be here, but I'm so happy I am. This is such a beautiful world, I've seen so many new things already...

I can't wait to get to know you all and learn all about...everything!

[❀12] [video]

[Hello, world of Pokemon! It's your local cheerful reaper, all smiles and energy as usual for her. She seems to have dressed up for the occasion in a perfectly normal-looking light purple kimono with a simple cloudy pattern across it. Until one gets to the obi around her waist and realizes it's covered in little ghost Pokemon and also has a Mimikyu charm hanging off of it.

At least the cookies she's presenting look normal, though they are also slightly spooky.]

October is upon us, everybody! It's time to show appreciation to your local ghosts and have a little fun with tricks and treats! We're only just getting started over at Honeyed Soul, so if you're 'round the Goldenrod area please do pop in for a visit, we always like seeing people!

[Who's "we" exactly? Probably the Mimikyu in the foreground with a green ribbon tied around its neck, the various Phantump floating around in the background, and the Sylveon already nicking some cookies for himself to eat. Might be safe to say this lady has company indeed.]

For everyone that's new: hiya! I'm Botan, resident ghost lady and Pokemon breeder--I happen to run a sweets shop on the side, so if you were interested in work or wanted a sampler, I'm always free to chat! I can also chat with your Pokemon if that's needed, though I should hope it's not if you're getting along well!

[Yes it's safe to say Botan is in good spirits.]

[The video starts off jitter-y, like whoever is holding the Pokegear is shaking. The camera is pointed at some out-of-focus trees, and Newt's excited voice can be heard, midway through a sentence- he started talking before the video actually started.]

-been a while, I know, I've been really focusing on getting some stuff in order and training my Pokemon, and it's fucking paid off big-time, alright-

[The camera turns to Newt's face- the angle is unflattering, but he looks the happiest he's been since he arrived to the Pokemon world.]

Ok. You guys ready for this?

o17 | video/text featuring Gardevoir

_{[It's around two o'clock in the morning when the video flickers to life inside FCAB, at least according to the digital clock hanging up in the background. It might be normal for people who are nightowls but instead of a human face peering into the camera, it's a Gardevoir with her bangs pushed away from her face with a little headscarf.

She's a bit of an odd duck herself, what with having three eyes but regardless of her own oddities, she looks.. Focused. And concerned as she starts to type.]}

Hello, I don't believe we've met yet. My name is Juno, and while I try to respect my trainer's belongings, something happened and I'm not entirely sure what to do about it. He's been having some bad dreams since he returned from wherever it was he vanished and while they've been getting better thanks to the sweet boy he's been traveling with, I'm still very... worried about him.

He had a rather terrible one not too long ago so I thought I'd check in on him tonight, but I think he's|

It's a little awkward to explain, so I thought it'd be best to come to his friends and other people who may know him - or those who would know what to do - for advice. One moment, please.

_{[As she taps at the keys of the Pokegear, she swivels around to cautiously float towards what can only be Bertolt's room and after some hesitation, the Gardevoir nudges the door open and turns the camera to show her trainer in a very uncomfortable pose. Seriously, that's going to cause some serious neck pain in the morning, and the Gardevoir can be seen wincing slightly just on the edge of the recording before she turns back around to type again.]}

I think he may be broken? How can I fix this? I've never seen him - or any human - like that before. I hope he won't be upset that I borrowed his communicator to ask.

_{[Psh, like Bertolt could ever get mad at any of his Pokemon, especially for something as harmless as this. Still, this Gardevoir fusses and worries!

She seems to hesitate, and then begins to to type something else until a loud snore erupts from the room behind her, causing her to jump and finish typing as quickly as she can with a frazzled expression.]}

ThankyouinadvanceIhavetogo!

_{[And with that, she kills the feed.]}

Audio/Video 001

Thank you. I'll be fine. Let's go, Polar.

[The responding "Vul-pix!" is very telling as to what sort of Pokemon the young man being heard right now is speaking to, his 'gear either on by accident or because the aforementioned Vulpix had done it because it's trainer was being stubborn.

Whatever the case, anyone listening will hear 'Mom' saying goodbye then the music changes as they step outside--

and that's when the video clicks on as the 'gear hits the ground, an Alola Vulpix looking rather pleased with itself as it stares down at it. The little fox chirps at the 'gear then leans in to nose at it, turning it just right so he can pick it up and aim it at his trainer as he trots after the young man who is...not paying attention.

Rather he's digging through his bag with a bit of a frustrated frown.]

None of this is mine...I don't understand what's going on. That woman claimed to be my mother but she definitely wasn't. [He stops digging around and slings it onto his shoulder properly, looking back at his Vulpix--and giving everyone a proper look at his split hair and eye colors and that lovely scar he's got--only to pause.]

...You're filming me aren't you?

[The Vulpix chirps around the 'gear in its mouth and the young man sighs, turning completely and approaching his partner. He kneels down and reaches out to take the 'gear, holding it up properly so he can address the network.]

If anyone from U.A. High is seeing this, please contact me as soon as you're able. The sooner we find one another, the better.

[For all he knew, this could be the work of a villain's quirk after all.

He pauses, looking thoughtful.]

Actually, even if you aren't from U.A. High...I think it's best we work together to get out of here.

[That's what Izuku would say isn't it?]

I'm in some place called New Bark Town if that helps any. I'll be here for the next hour.

[End video.]

» tres | anonymous

is there anyone who has issues with their starter? like what happens when your starter doesn't like you and would rather kick your ass instead of other pokemon's asses? or if it just doesn't want to listen to you? that means you suck as a trainer, right? what if you do suck as a trainer and can't be a breeder?

and is everybody here really happier here than they were wherever they're from? there's got to someone who feels like they'd probably be better off back home and be more useful there than here. it just seems weird that all the people brought here don't really want to go back home, that's all.

[Video]

_{[The video opens on rolling golden hills, and a blue sky so immense that the shot almost conveys it... but not quite.]

[The holder of the camera's footsteps are audible as the view moves, slowly panning over the sprawling landscape-- there's patches of trees here and there, and a shimmering, hazy mound on the horizon that almost blends in with the sky. The shot lingers on that space for a moment before turning back around.]}

This is. _{[A laugh.]} This is wild.

Even in all the time I've been here, this is...

_{[Heather turns the camera around enough that her face is in the shot-- hair windswept and eyes squinted almost shut in the light, even with one hand shading them.]}

I feel like I could just step out there and be gone forever. Like, bye world, I'm just the sky now.

_{[The camera turns again-- a fair distance away, there's a white shape hurtling through the grass-- which fortunately isn't long enough to get caught up in the flames streaming from its neck and tail. A Rapidash, cavorting and throwing out her legs in big bucks every time she crests a hill. There's another laugh from Heather-- quiet even though she's normally loud even when she's not miles away from the nearest town.]}

Carousel's loving it.

She's so chill like all the time, and we don't usually stay anywhere with wide open spaces like this... I always kind of forget how much she likes to run.

_{[Carousel disappears over a hill, but Heather doesn't seem worried. She'll come back. The camera briefly pans back over the landscape, but then she sets it down on the ground, a jungle of golden grass springing up along the bottom of the screen. Then she sits, palms in the grass behind her, head leaned back.]

[After a moment or two, a very fat Growlithe wearing a harness with a set of colorful travel packs on it, ambles over from off-camera and throws himself down next to her with his legs in the air.]

[She ruffles his fluffy underside with one hand and just. Lets the camera roll for awhile.]}
