...

So this is what it feels like when a friend suddenly disappears.

[ Menma's face is... indescribable, sad but also lost. This is the first time one of her close friends leaves this world all of a sudden. Even she has no idea how she should feel about this. On her lap, there's an Eevee who looks just as lost.

It's like she musing to herself, rather than talking to the network directly. ]

At least now Maria can grow up and be happy in her home... uu... wish I could thank her for giving me this little one. [ She pets the Pokemon on the head absent-mindedly. ] I don't know if I should be glad for her, or... How do you all feel when a friend disappears? I... just don't know.

[ She quickly wipes a tear off her cheek, and then shuts the feed off. ]

Hmmmm... do you know how old he is?

[video]

[captainash]

His legend has been around for hundred of years, but I don't know if it's been the same man the whole time.

[video]

[seetheflower]

Uu-... it's such a mystery, isn't it? Maybe there are books about him somewhere.

[video]

[captainash]

There'd have to be. Are there any libraries around?

[video]

[seetheflower]

I dunno, I never checked... and I can't read that well either.

[video]

[captainash]

There should be plenty of easy books concerning Santa, but those wouldn't include studies or other important information.

[video]

[seetheflower]

Uu-... I can't read letters that well, but I can look at the images.

[video]

[captainash]

If I take care of the words and you take care of the pictures, we'll be fine.

[video]

[seetheflower]

Yes... I can go with that idea.

... Ne, captain. That means we should meet each other someday.

[video]

[captainash]

That'd be nice, yeah. Do you travel a lot? We might end up in the same city sooner or later.

[video]

[seetheflower]

I'm staying in Goldenrod for the time being, but I'm going to travel again sometime in the future...

[video]

[captainash]

Goldenrod's beyond Azalea, right? It might take me a while to get there, since I'm walking the whole way.

[video]

[seetheflower]

Yeah, I noticed that we can't take the shortcut, there's a long way and we even have to go in a cave...

[video]

[captainash]

A cave? There could be treasure hidden there.

[video]

[seetheflower]

Uu-... I've been there for days, but I found no treasure at all.

[video]

[captainash]

A monster-filled cave without treasure. That's just sad.

[video]

[seetheflower]

But I found some potions lying around there! It's not completely useless. But there are a lot of Zubats that will attack you at first chance!

[video]

[captainash]

Zubats? I should bring mine there to make friends.

[video]

[seetheflower]

Uu-, but what if they attack? They were so angry, maybe they don't want to be friends!

[video]

[captainash]

Then we'll get some training out of it. We do need that.

[video]

[seetheflower]

Well, I did, though I felt bad for beating them up. But my Nokémon got stronger for that!

[video]

[captainash]

I'm sure they appreciated it. Making your team happy is important.

[video]

[seetheflower]

Fighting makes them happy, but I still feel bad for the Zubats.

[video]

[captainash]

Would adopting one make you feel better?

[video]

[seetheflower]

... Actually, I adopted six of them already.
