[Sora's taking a break from traveling on Route 30 this morning to train a brand new friend he'd captured a few days ago in the Dark Cave-- the feed turns on, the camera focused up on Sora and a silly old bear, who is currently wobbling on his tiny feet and trying to mimic his trainer's pose.]

Is it on, Dapper? Good! Hey, you guys!

[he waves-- this is becoming the customary pokégear greeting for Sora. the Teddiursa at his feet waves a stubby little arm, too.]

I thought I'd show everyone out there training some warm-ups I learned from a good friend back in Traverse Town. They're called stoutness exercises, and they always helped me loosen up before a long day of fighting! Ready?

[there's an enthusiastic "Weedle!" from somewhere off-camera. oh look, Mr. Crankypants is going to try it, too.]

All you need to do is stretch your arms waaaaaay above your head, hold it there, then bend down and touch your toes, and hold it. Just stretch as high as you can, Dapper, okay? Do that ten times! Up, down, touch the ground!

[they slowly go through the motions of ten reps-- the Teddiursa is trying his darndest, but is having some issues actually touching his toes, and somersaults right onto his back on the last attempt. Sora bends down to help the little guy back on his feet, managing not to laugh.]

Good job, everyone! And now we eat.

[Encouraging...or perhaps threatening looks from Sparky cause Roxas to get up and start doing the exercises]

[excellent. Sora pauses in the middle of one rep to grin at Roxas, his hands still stretched high in the air.]

It's a good stretch, huh? It makes me want to start really training again.

Yeah. You might want to do that, if you ever want to battle again.

[smiles a little sheepishly, then bends down to touch the ground.]

Well, my new Teddiursa actually likes to battle, so I'm well on my way! We'll catch up.

Good. Although, by then I'll be stronger to.

That's okay! You had one heck of a head start, Roxas. But I'll beat you one day.

How about we meet in Goldenrod, and battle again there? That'll give us both enough time to train.

That's a great idea! Maybe I'll be a bit better at battling strategy by then, too.

Alright, then we'll meet there. Try going to the gym challenge, it helps.

You got it! Don't forget to do your exercises, too, Roxas!

I won't.

Good! Oh-- hey, Roxas?

Yeah?

You haven't talked to Naminé lately, have you? I couldn't find her anywhere.

No...I haven't. I tried calling...but I think she's gone.

I guess we're both missing someone, then...

-- But hey, don't worry, Roxas! You'll see her again.

...I hope so. I wanted...to talk with her more.

You'll get another chance to.

[nod]

Maybe one day, when both Naminé and Kairi come back... you, me, Riku and all of us could hang out.

I...I like that idea.

Let's both keep an eye out, then. I'll keep up with you as best as I can, so we don't get too far apart, okay?

I will. I'm not planning to go too far ahead.

[smiles.]

So where are you right now?

I'm in Azalea Town.
