明日の光は待っているから

[ CLATTER CLATTER. That's the sound of the Gear turning on as it falls to the ground, briefly catching a glimpse of Joshua before he's pushed out of view by a large, white shape. It only takes a second before the white fades into a Lapras. The Pokemon makes a soft cooing noise as it looks around, then it's gaze seems to settle on something. A few seconds later, an Absol walks into view of the camera and gives the Lapras a small nudge. It makes another noise then starts moving awkwardly, leaving the view of the camera in the process. There's several more seconds of shuffling noises, then a very dirty and very frustrated Joshua pulls himself upright and grabs the Gear, glaring at the Absol. ]

You ran out from under me.

[ And with that he turns off the feed.

A few minutes later, he turns it back on and appends the following: ]

I would have thought two hundred and twenty kilograms would have felt a lot heavier. Regardless, as I'm sure you're all so very worried about me, I think I'm fine.

If there's a lesson to learn here, it's is to beware what eggs you're carrying and how. Not that I wasn't aware that nature ignores all logic here, but that was still a bit more than I was expecting.

[ The first thing visible as the recording begins is Joshua. He opens his mouth to say something, but is immediately cut off by a very odd sound echoing around him. He turns around, and the Gear angles to show behind him a rather large Sigilyph... getting quite thoroughly beaten up by a Bellsprout half its size.

Joshua sighs. ]

Confusion. Take out that one, too.

[ From off screen there's a high-pitched noise, and a purple aura briefly surrounds the Bellsprout, which collapses soon after. Joshua seems to take only a second to check that it's not getting up again before turning back to the video. ]

Now where was I? Oh yes. Any of you veterans out there have advice for someone new to this business? I'm training them for the first gym leader, and after all, knowing is half the battle.

[ He giggles, then ends the feed.

Others are free to run across him on Route 31 near Violet, riding his Absol around through the grass stirring up Pokemon, which his Ralts then takes out. The previously mentioned Sigilyph hovers through the air making odd, repetitive patterns with its path, usually not gathering too much notice from the wildlife but probably looking a fair bit out of place. ]
