[It’s evening when the video opens, the video shows the sun is just about set in a field. It would be almost a calm scene if it wasn’t for Ray grinning like an idiot at the camera. He can barely contain his excitement but he gets himself to speak in a hushed voice.]

So you know those weird dimensional rifts we’ve been getting? The one that’s spewing out those interdimensional beings? Well guess who I found while I went out training today.

[He turns the camera around and OH GOD WHAT IS THAT?

The Stakataka isn’t looking at the camera right now, instead they’re just… gently crouching down and poking at a tiny Pokepuff that Ray presumably gave them.]

Yeah I ran into these guys today, and they’re surprisingly nice! I guess if you’re able to tell them that you don’t mean any harm they don’t want to attack you! Which, I guess that makes sense once you think about it. Sure we wake up in another dimension out of nowhere, but we have the convenience of having people easily explain to us what’s going on and that we’re not in any danger!

Which, I’m not exactly sure this guy over hears understands a word I say. I’ve been trying to communicate with this poor guy but they don’t even respond when I shout “Hey, you!” at them. [True to his word, the Stakataka doesn’t look up from their Pokepuff. Ray looks over fondly at the hulking beast as if it was a newly adopted pet] Still, I like to think I made great progress in a day!

I do miss fighting horrifying ghosts and monsters, don’t get me wrong. I would give anything to fight Cthulhu or the Boogieman again, but it’s nice being able to befriend these guys. It’s not every day you can say that you’re able to befriend a giant sentient rock structure from another dimension.

[The Stakataka suddenly looks up over at Ray, and stomps over to him. If Ray’s worried by him suddenly moving, he doesn’t show it as he just lightly looks over to them. They then lift a large leg aiming right at Ray’s head…

And they gently start patting his head, really delicately that you’d almost think that the Stakataka was terrified of crushing Ray if they put any amount of pressure on him. Ray laughs happily at this.]

See? Stuff like this never happened at home! These guys are really great!

[...Well that happened.]

Video - October 1st

[Hank isn't showing himself right now, just turning on the camera to show a herd? Posse? Swarm? Group of Rattata running across the road, like they're fleeing a sinking ship. Not a great sign.]

Okay, I've been out here looking for a Mudbray that ran away from its trainer and this is a little more than I expected. I'm on 34, right by Goldenrod. Glad I took the day off for this, I'm gonna need it.

[Fuuuuck this. He's never seen an Ultra Beast before today and he's never had the phenomenon explained to him to any great effect. He knows fuck all about them. He only knows that animals running in one direction usually doesn't spell anything good. But he's standing his ground because he's already gathered some smaller trainers have lost their newer, more skittish ones to the big guys causing a panic.]

[Behind him, various barks of ARC ARC ARC and ROC ROC and a growling Dooooom can be heard. Hank's main Pokemon are not happy. He turns to them briefly, and they all have their hackles raised (unfortunately on Tubbs it's mostly just making the massive Arcanine look extra fluffy).]

I'll get back to you later and let you know how it goes. [He might eventually need to call for back-up.]

[Good morning, Trainers (and Pokemon with their Trainers' PokeGear.)

Your inboxes contain an indecent number of new images. Open them up, and it's revealed they're all photos! Selfies, to be exact.

Taken by what appears to be... a broadly-smiling Machoke, seen flexing and posing to show off her dense and bulging musculature (as well as her razor-sharp teeth) in each shot. And, in fairness, those are some very plentiful teeth... and even more plentiful muscles. All Machoke are stacked, it's literally what they do. And yet.

Maybe it's the lightning, or maybe it's the angle...

These photos are clearly meant to be more than just the rote song and dance number of Machoke-kind: they're a symphony. Each shot sings the song of sinew, the hymn of heft, the melody of muscle.

And the, uh... the tempo of... teeth.

She is making intense eye contact with the camera in almost every one. Yes, truly it is a glorious display of raw, chiselled physique that graces your inboxes this morning.

Some of them even feature a Rapidash in the background, sometimes standing with ears pinned irritably, other times posing with a majestically arched neck and proud lift to its head.

In all cases, there's been absolutely no use of any privacy features, so at least you can reply directly to their sender. In case you feel the need to do that before you ~~make heavy use of the delete button~~ print them off to hang on your walls and save as your Gear wallpaper.]

Hello-? Um, salutations, everyone. Anyone? I’m not sure who I’m calling, sorry.

[The voice broadcasting onto the network today is high and brittle. A shaking breath, audible over the Pokégear, rushing in after the end.]

I don’t. Know how I got here? Or really where here is. I’ve- um, I saw the sign that says this is New Bark Town, but that’s not a place I’ve ever heard of, is this somewhere in Vale?

[The questions grow slowly steadier as they progress. The quaking vibration in tone dropping in favor of more even, but still slightly hoarse, inquiry.]

[Deep breath.]

My name is Penny Polendina, if there’s anyone here from Atlas or one of the other Huntsmen Academies, please respond. I think- I don’t know.

[That last part cuts short, a quick tremor sneaking back into Penny’s voice at the end.]

[And then, all shakiness briefly and abruptly dropping-]

Also I think that woman is- probably kind of sick? I don’t- she definitely wasn’t my mother, I’m fairly certain we’ve never met before. She gave me a bag. It had- I’m not sure what it is, but it seems friendly, at least? But- um, I’m pretty sure that woman needs medical attention, I don’t know if there’s any kind of doctor near here.

Video - September 6th

[Hank plants his Pokegear in front of him on his desk.]

I put together some more missing cases. These are the ones I can't get to, but I'm pretty sure are easily solvable if you have a pretty attentive flying pokemon or something with Odor Sleuth and are close by.

[He turns up a card with a bunch of article snippets pasted to it, held pretty evenly in front of the Pokegear so that all of them can clearly be seen.]
( the card )
[And after holding it up long enough for someone to easily go back and pause on if they wanted to, he puts it down on the desk and looks blandly off to the side.]

And now for the not-family-friendly bit. I need to have a fuckin' drink with someone. I mean as drunk as you can get in fuckin' magic pokeland drunk. I'd planned to spend a quiet day in but I just wanna get out.

[Today is his birthday, but that part he doesn't want to say out loud, because he feels old enough.] Anyone willin' to give me the time, this is where I'll be. [He shows another card, this one with the address of a Goldenrod bar.] See you there. I'll get back to this later.

[Probably with a hangover.]

Action - September 6th

[Hank sidles into the bar of his particular choosing, hauls himself up onto a stool with an exceptional amount of weight on his shoulders today, and motions to the space in front of him as he speaks to the bartender.]

Bottle of whiskey. Whole bottle. And a glass. Cheap, dirty. Nothing good. Don't worry, worst case scenario I have an Arcanine that can drive me home.

[He should probably spoil himself but, eh. As he discussed recently? It all goes to the same place. If anyone shows up? He'll be settled in drinking. Idly he wonders if anyone ever found that fucking Jigglyperp.]

[The video starts right past Cecil's front door.

Or at least, that's probably the case. It can be hard to tell, with the eggs strewn over every available flat surface (and some that are neither available nor flat).

As Cecil advances through the house (still filming for the network's entertainment, of course), it becomes evident than the whole building has been similarly decorated. The living room. The kitchen. The bathroom. Even the backyard, where a dozen eggs are gently slumbering by the pond, under the watchful eyes of a pair of Lapras.

It's that last sight that finally convinces Cecil to speak.]

...P500 for the Magikarps, Caterpies, Carbinks, Miniors and Lunatones, P1500 for the rest. We deliver everywhere in Kanto and Johto, and I can assure you that every single egg will be well worth training.

[Just save him from this madness, please.]

So hey...

Did anybody lose an over-sized armchair?

In the ocean?

Because one washed up on shore today and I think it's the weirdest thing I've ever found washed up.

[Korra turns the gear and that sure is a very soggy and sandy armchair, half on it's side, right on the wet part of the beach. It's hard to tell what color it is aside from 'dark', and stuffing is oozing out. That is one sorry chair.]

I'm pretty sure this falls under my domain, and I really don't know the proper disposal protocol for chairs the sea doesn't want anymore. I'm thinking burn it when it's dry? I know Iquniq is voting for that idea.

[The stocky Arcanine does look preeeettttty eager to set the wreckage ablaze.]

Who: Connor & Open
Where: Goldenrod, Drifter's bar
When: 15th August
Summary: Connor's birthday! He's having it at Drifter's bar, and has invited certain people but it's an open bar, so anyone can mingle!
Rating: Hank is here, so inevitable swearing inside

OTA:

[Connor wasn't sure what to do for his first birthday. Have people come to his house? It had seemed like a good idea, but then he'd remembered Drifter and his bar.

He's invited a few people specifically; Hank (obviously), Drifter, Yayoi, Shadowmaru, and Jack. They'll get video calls from Connor asking them to come on the 14th. He's fine with speaking to anyone who might be at the bar anyway, though. He's often seen with a drink in his hand, and gets progressively less coordinated as the night goes on. He's always friendly, though. He's a happy drunk. There's a cake made by Hank, which Connor happily shares with anyone who comes, proudly stating that his boyfriend made it and isn't he so talented? Connor certainly couldn't bake a whole cake.]

For Hank:

[After the night is over, Connor is riding home on his Magnezone because he's a little clumsy right now. He turns to look at Hank though, and gives him a small smile.]

I had a good time. Did you?

Video - August 4th

[Hank is looking frazzled as he turns on the camera, pokegear positioned in front of him on his desk. He has no idea how to approach a plan, honestly? Connor's birthday is this month, he never talks about his friends so he's not sure who they are, he doesn't know who to invite. Maybe he'll just tell Connor to tell them to come over?]

[Fuck he doesn't know. But here it goes. He's scratching his head and messing his hair up in the process.]

Okay, I have no fuckin' idea how to cook. I'm shit at it. I need someone to show me how to at least bake something in the next couple of weeks, alright? I'll pay.

[A cake made by him would be optimal. It won't be pretty, but it'd be the effort that counts. He supposes if he wrecks the thing he could go get a nice one from a store at the last moment.]

Also uh... last month while I was with Shadowmaru we ran into some Rockets. [Honestly it ended up being the highlight of his week. He's pretty sure that people aren't supposed to fight Rockets the way they did but it felt fucking great. Plus, you know, skinny funky-haired ninja being fucking impressive. That's a good show.] And the Jennies took 'em into custody. They got back to me and they think one of the pokemon they had was from that Prom that was attacked. Ambrose.

So Armin you can probably give 'em a ring and claim him.

[He hasn't even heard about the awesome dog he missed yet. Though his awesome dog leans in with its giant muzzle and snuffles his messed up hair.]

Action: Goldenrod

[Anyone wandering Goldenrod will see an exasperated Connor with his legs and torso mostly stuck inside the bubble of an Araquanid. Said Araquanid looks cheerful as it strolls down the roads, his trainer safely tucked away inside his bubble. A Magnezone follows behind, beeping in confusion. Get close enough, and you'll hear Connor alternating between pleading with the Araquanid to put him down, and trying to reassure the Magnezone that everything is fine.]

Video:

[Connor is finally out of the Araquanid's bubble, and has a Beheeyem floating beside him. He looks curious as he studies it, before glancing over at the camera.]

Crystal evolved today. I was reading the Pokedex entry on Beheeyem, and it says that it can manipulate memories. It even implies that my memories may have already been overwritten. If they have, would I have any way of knowing?

[More of a rhetorical question, really... but still.]

I was wondering if there are any Pokedex entries in particular that you've found disturbing, or interesting. Given the picturesque world we seem to live in, some of the entries are kind of dark, aren't they?

So, crisis over, thanks to Kazuki who found Magneton for me. Kaz, I owe you big time for this, thanks for finding Magneton and watching him for me until I got there. You're the best.

That being said, I guess I'm going to backtrack since I kinda-sorta left Sasami in Viridian so I'll be heading back there, thank god for Pokecenter ports.

[She breathes a little, calming her nerves a bit, looking a bit out of place but then smiles.]

Thanks everyone for looking out for the kids. I have another favor to ask. I need to make a shopping trip to the two department stores for a couple of days real quickly before I return, so can someone check in on Sasami for me before I return? I'm letting her know now, but... I've decided that when we arrive in Pewter, I'm going to take on Brock.

At the Elite Level.

With no potions or revives.

Call me crazy, and I know my team is 99% Electric but... This is a challenge that I've been dreading since I got here. But after this, I feel like, since Magneton went out of his way to train, to not disappoint me? I need to not disappoint the kids and prepare THEM with some TMs and extra preparation. I can't be throwing potion after potion on them to push it through the challenge, that's disrespectful to the challenge. So...

The challenge will be issued in, maybe 2 weeks time, so if anyone wants to come out and see it first hand, we'll be in Pewter by then, since I intend to let Sasami go first.

Thanks.

Video - June 12th

[Hank's little Floette can be seen backing away from where she started recording on his Pokegear. It's on his desk. And she's about to out her person in the very worst way.]

Flo. Floette! Flo flo. Ette flo. Flo.

[To everyone out there, this is a PSA on how to take care of your flowers when it's hot. And then she floats offscreen with her flower. Comes back. She has a dollhouse-sized watering can and her examples are some origami style from various colors of post-it notes. Some of them still have things written on them. If you look closely one petal still has a good portion of the word 'fuck' on it.]

Flo. Flo ette flo flo ette. [You want to water them like this. She tips her toy watering can onto her tiny origami flowers.] Flo flo ette flo flo. Flo flo ette flo flo flo ette ette ETTE flooooo. [In the early evening. So they don't dry out too much in in the bright sun and they can drink water at night. She holds up her own pretty blue flower then and hugs it tight. You can keep your flowers pretty and happy!]

Ette flo flo flo ette Flo!

[She leaves the screen long enough to bring over her tiny Tupperware (near pokebrand equivalent) container, the sort that'd be used for salad dressing you'd take to work, and it's been painted and prepared like a tiny planter, down to having holes very carefully drilled in the bottom. She, in the meantime, leaves a trail of dirt across the desk she's on. This is what happens because Hank took enough time to make her tiny planter and buy her tiny garden tools that are her-sized and make her some fake origami flowers. Which is hard for his big stupid fingers to manage and he went through a lot of failures.]

[There's the sound of a door opening, dogs doing jangly-collared runs as Hank lets them in, and then her trainer's big booming voice asking-]

Connie, the hell are you doing?

[And the Floette squeals with a big cute happy smile and floats off. Hank'll be there in a moment to start cleaning up her mess. Then turns the Pokegear at himself when he sees its on.]

Ah. She was recording.

Video - Jun 11th

[The camera is turned on, this time propped up against a napkin dispenser so there's a stretch of bar ahead of it and Drifter's leaning on it. Fortune the Seviper has her head resting on the counter as it's just lazing through his work hours and providing the necessary duty of being inconvenient to step over.]

So, since I got to Goldenrod I managed to find me a job at a bar. I figure some of you are way too young either in body or in spirit to stroll in here and ask for whatever strikes your fancy, but those of you that are of some variety of drinking age back home? Ol' Wu Ming did ya a favor. I talked the management into lettin' you have a free drink on the house.

So if you stop in, it'll save you a few coins. We're a little off the beaten path in Goldenrod. Further away from the Pokecenter. Don't wanna be too bad an influence for the free-range kiddos. [He gives the address. As he's doing so, Orin, now a female Meowstic, barely peeks from behind him, just one eye visible. And she's staring again, just piercing holes into anyone looking at her with the bland intensity of her ongoing gaze.]

Especially since the forecast says that some days comin' up the cement's gonna be hot enough to fry eggs on. Tried that once on a Cabal shield in this kinda heat. Let me tell you, some of the best sunny-side-up I ever had. Hope I see you 'round.

[Oh, wait! Suddenly he remembers something, and it shows as he thumps his fist on the bar.]

Right! Yeah, that. If anybody has any idea if breaking down a holdable object into core components ruins it or could it maybe be used to infuse into somethin'? Askin' for me. I got a few ideas I wanna try out.

Oh god, I fucked this up!!

[It's Dandy and he's frantic, which is at least a step up from his usual pissbaby attitude.]

Is there any way to get these things smaller again, I totally forgot to buy one of those stupid forever rocks for my dog- LOOK!!

[The feed zips over to Dandy's newly evolved Hakamo-o, sitting on a bench and kicking her feet. Once she realizes the camera's on her, she looks up and smiles, giving a little wiggle of her fingers in a friendly wave. Heheh, she has fingers now~

She is also absolutely fine compared to her trainer. The feed goes back to Dandy, who still acts like it's the end of the world.]

She's not gonna grow another head, is she?! I can so not afford to feed another head, dammit!!

saint_sami

[The video kicks on to show what is easily Pallet Town and... there's a lot of Bug Pokemon. It suddenly flips over to show off the owner of this PokeGear, Sasami.]

Wow. I get here and suddenly, there's bugs! A lot of them! Is this normal?

Maybe I should catch a few, see if I can do so!

No better time like now, right?

[Connor is certainly more cheerful in this video than he was in the last one. His usual polite smile is back, and as ever his Magnezone is hovering in the background.]

I was just thinking about the Type: Null Pokemon again. I haven't met anyone who has one. So I was wondering - if you do have one, what type did you get and why? Or if you don't, which type would you want? I'd like an Electric type one, myself.

Does it evolve at all? Is it friendly? Is it good in battle? ...I realise I'm asking a lot of questions, but I'm very curious.

[And also he's pretty excited to get his sixth badge and apply for one. Being a man-made prototype himself, he's very interested to see what each individual Type: Null is like.]

May 17th | Video

[The video turns on to show Cherrygrove City at the beach and focuses on a man that hasn't posted to any network yet. He's seemingly early middle-age with some facial scars along his cheeks half hidden by his beard, sleeves on a new button up shirt rolled up, wearing a twined snake necklace with a red string, barefoot in the sand and flanked by a Seviper, a Psyduck holding its head. Another unseen Pokemon is doing the filming. He's also surrounded by a mostly-empty box of donuts, a milkshake he's still working on, some fruit rinds and cores, a plastic container of some rice dish or another that's now down to a few grains, and a watermelon that's been reduced to hollow green hull halves.]

[He has torn through this meal in one sitting.]

So I gotta admit, I was sorta expectin' the other shoe to drop, but I ain't ever seen anything like this in a long, long time. [He has a thick southern drawl when he speaks.] I walked all the way here, three days, without a single thing attackin' me. No ambushes. No crazy four-armed assassins outa nowhere. No floating angry three-eyed women throwin' fire.

[He doesn't have any of his guns, though. That bit bothers him but as guns don't seem to be a big thing here he'll just be grabbing berries instead of scrounging for ammunition and weapons.]

Now, I guess I gotta amend that thought. I did read that supposedly there's things that'll throw fire but this lady? [He motions to the Seviper over his shoulder, who is just basking like a happy reptile in the sand.] Her name is Fortune, and she's been takin' care of everything. [He gets the gist that she's supposed to, and that it's like having a game rep going into battle for you (something he's very used to). This is so much of a better situation.]

So uh, me an' Fortune are gonna be makin' our way all to one of the bigger cities. But I read about this one called an Ekans? I really wanna get my hands on one, if someone could do me the favor. I heard there was some breeders that might be amenable.

[As he talks, he pulls out a single jade coin and walks it over his fingers. Though with some monstrous slight of hand, that one coin is followed immediately by three more being passed over his knuckles. Just a casual fidget as he talks, and someone with a keen eye might notice the coins are double-sided with two wrapped snakes that match his pendant.]

You can call me Wu Ming. ...And don't worry, I'll take care o' this mess. [He won't leave garbage on the beach. He can't afford to deal with fines right now if he's caught.]

May 8th - Video

[Hank's near the Olivine Pokecenter when the vid comes on. He had to stop in and get a new Pokegear and check the date and generally make sure that he's not lost his mind. He's back in clothes similar to the ones he was wearing when he first showed up, his warm winter coat hanging over his arm because that is a doozy of a goddamn weather change.]

Hey uh... [He says awkwardly, squinting at the Pokegear.] So I think I missed a couple of weeks or a month or something? But uh... it's just been a few days for me. Fuckin'... [he makes a motion around his head] ...brain is pretty bleary right now. But my room is gone and I gotta go get my pokemon and it's a hell of a walk back to Goldenrod without a backpack.

[He doesn't know if Connor is even still around or not. Does he even still have a home? Who'd think just a few weeks would throw someone for a loop.]

Is my partner here? Is anyone I know even still here? Some of you have to be. You've been here long enough to get your Pokemon premed and residency requirements, so someone's gotta be.

[He's a little mentally thrown. And he rubs his temple.] Right, yeah, just gotta look at my contacts. [He rubs his head like he has a headache, settling in. God, if only this were a hangover he could deal with it. Right now Hank's just really confused about where he's at, why's it suddenly so warm, where's his stuff, where are his pokemon, and he knows all the answers but that doesn't mean he's not stumbling around the thought process.]
