Ha, he's like a little cartoon character, isn't he? Like a mascot for a dump or something.

[Those words might sound a little harsh if they weren't being spoken with what sounds like some of the purest affection this side of Steve Irwin talking about a poisonous snake. And, in fairness, the Trubbish being shown on-screen would make an excellent waste-disposal mascot and does look more than a little cartoony.]

[Not the least because it's eating a small pile of what looks like actual discarded wrappers and things. With a few berries and PokeBlocks mixed in.]


Flayn and I are passing through Goldenrod City, and I found this guy stealing a bunch of our garbage. At first I thought he was really hungry and desperate-? And- I mean, he was, but I figured he was eating garbage cause he couldn't find anything else. But I guess that's what he actually likes!

[The Trubbish looks up for a second and waves at the camera cheerfully before continuing its slightly nauseating tuck-in.]

Kinda reminds me of home, a little.

[He is not elaborating on that, sorry.]

Oh, and- uh.

[The camera turns to face Steven, finally.]

I'm not exactly sure what Valentine's Day is? But the decorations that are up everywhere look really nice.

[ Hello, Network! Have one alien princess with a Pachirisu draped around her shoulders. She's out shopping, looking a little bemused in front of a sign featuring lacy pink and red heart designs. ]

Could someone please explain to me what Valentine's Day is? And what are these? [ She points at the poster behind her. ] Someone said they're hearts. Human hearts don't actually look like this, do they?


[SCREENED to: Pidge!]

[ This portion is a separate video screened to Pidge, because Allura has further questions and is a little too shy to ask them publicly. She's clearly in a department store, surrounded by racks of lacy garments. ]

Pidge, I don't suppose I could ask for your advice?

[Krookodile Bonbee is a moderately popular 'tuber on the general trainer network. His channel is focused on debunking myths about Pokémon that are commonly held as true and are even part of their info in the Pokédex—and demonstrating, very harshly, that some of the more wild tales are in fact, true. And you should always thank your local medical team for helping you when you do something very stupid with a wild Pokémon.]

[This week, he's taking a trek on Route 8 just a little bit away from civilization, towards a secluded forest grove.]


Alright, friends, today we're here to talk about Honedges and the rest of th' evolutionary line. [After a three-minute long lecture about Honedges, the superstitions around them, and the actual history (complete with fun infographics!), he comes to his conclusion.] Now, one of the most persistent rumors about Honedges, Doublades, and Aegislashes is that they drain anybody who holds their hilt of all of their vital juices though the li'l ribbon on th' pommel-whatsit. This, o'course, varies on a case-by-case basis, as always with this show—s'posedly.

But! People 'ave been whisperin' 'bout an old Honedge stuck in a rock somewhere 'round here. I've confirmed it for meself, too. If anythin's gonna hol' up ta those 'stitions, it's got ta be this one 'ere-

[He moves through the brush and into the clearing, only to find Connie casually grabbing the hilt of the Honedge that is, indeed, sunk hilt-deep in a rock in the center of the clearing.]

OI, LASS, DON'T, YA MIGHT-

[And, with a small tug, Connie pulls the Pokémon free from the rock. You can practically hear Bonbee's jaw dropping.]

[She tests the heft of the Honedge, giving it a few practice swings. She doesn't even realize that it's a Pokémon until it flies out of her hand and imitates a bow. Connie quirks her head to the side as it approximates a fighting stance.]
Do... do you want to spar with me?

[The blade bobs a yes.]

Not my Pokémon?

[Another yes.]

If I do it, will you let me catch you?

[A third nod.]

Alright. [Connie shrugs, and pulls a training sword out of her backpack.] En garde!

[They then proceed to battle. While Connie can't actually hurt the thing (nor does she want to), she puts up a decent fight—and the clash makes excellent television. Bonbee leaves immediately after, mutters his catchphrase, and ends the video. Which goes viral within hours.]

[Welcome to internet fame, Connie.]

STEVEN! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!

[Steven's name is the first that comes to mind out of habit. Others are going to see her, she's sure, but she feels more comfortable calling the boy's name when she's being frantic.

Maybe he isn't here anymore. Maybe he wasn't here in the first place. In that case she's just making a fool of herself, but she has to try making contact. She has been terribly wronged.

She has a hat pulled down over the spot on her forehead where he gem would normally be, hiding the fact that it's no longer there. Everything is awful.]


And, ah... H-hello, everyone! Wonderful weather we're having today.

[Simply awful.]

[It's the middle of winter, and that means that a lot of Carly's posts are happening inside, thanks. She's even propped up her pokegear on the caravan cabinets, handily not looking at the front door, where her picture from Jack is. Anyway. Coffee brewing, cup being prepared, she rambles.]

You know, it's taken a bit, but I think I'm really starting to settle into things here? I mean I don't know if it's 'settled' settling, I'm moving more than I have my whole life actually if I think about it, ah...

...Where was I- Oh! Right! There was this thing I used to do every day, just to see how it would go! It was a little bit of fortune telling, [she explains, waving her hands about while waiting for the machine. Unseen to Carly, something milky looking is creeping around it, moving toward the mug she's been setting up...]

I had six cards with the six different elements, and each one had a different fortune... ...Course I don't have those here now, [she sighs, blindly grabbing for the coffee pot as it beeps.] ...I don't even know how I'd remake them here..! There's what, 18 types? That's way more fortunes, and I'd have to think of them this time! I'd need to do a lot of crowdsourcing for-

[It happens in an instant. Carly starts pouring the coffee in. The milcery, who was in the cup, jumps out and shakes off the scalding fluid with an angry screech. Carly meanwhile manages to drop (and somehow not break) the pot to the side while screaming herself.]

HHHIIIHHHHH!!!!

[.........................................they'll come back after about ten or twenty minutes.

With the mess cleaned.

The coffee mug on a bed mounted table.

Milcery...sitting...

S...So I found where my egg went after all this time..! I guess!!

[She sounds a bit frazzled, poor girl.]

Uh hey. It looks like I'm gonna be here for a while, so does anyone know where I can get my hands on a van? I'm gonna need somewhere to live once the weather gets better. I can't just crash on people's couches forever.

Uh- Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl. Peridot? I hope one of you guys is somewhere this thing is broadcasting to.

[Confused young man broadcasting on the network asking for people who probably aren't here? Must be Tuesday, metaphorically. At least he doesn't seem to be panicking, yet.]

This is kind of embarassing? But I think I might've kind of. Sleep-warped. Somewhere.

[That's a thing that can happen, right? It wouldn't actually be weirder than a lot of the other stuff that's happened in his life. Not by much, anyway.]

I thi-i-ink I'm still somewhere on Earth? But it doesn't look like anywhere near any of the warp pads we've used before. And I got inside this house somehow? There was this woman-

[He pauses a second, brows furrowing, before shaking his head.]

Look, it's not important, just- call back, if you guys get this message, I'll try figuring out where I actually am. Heh, I guess worst case scenario I could try bubbling myself and-

[As he speaks, his hand seems to scratch at his stomach, or maybe clutch at his shirt a little in a kind of nervous gesture- and then he stops, face freezing and eyes widening.]

What's- no.

[The camera blurs, Pokegear apparently forgotten as Steven- it looks like he's checking under his shirt?]

MY GEM-

[And the feed cuts off. So much for not panicking.]
