[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.

That's true. Maybe we should wait until they catch the criminals running around right now.

... And until Heather's warrant wears off.

Maybe if I steal their attention, they won't try to find her as hard.

... What are you gonna do? I don't want you to get in trouble, either!

Don't worry about it, Sora. Trouble's not always a bad thing.

Kay...

Just be careful, all right?

Heeey, what did I say about worrying? I can't go teaching you any great one-liners if I get caught!

You can't tell me not to worry, though! You're my friend, Kay.

... [ she'll ruffle his hair whenever she meets him. ]

And that's exactly why I won't get caught, especially if you root for me.

[he'll flail-- and it'll probably be hilarious.]

... You can bet that I'll be rooting for you. And don't get caught, because if you aren't here, that makes me the Pun Master.

Eh-- no way! I'm not giving up my title that easily!!

Exactly! That's why you can't get caught, or I'm taking the title right out from under you.

... The sneakiness of a ninja--!

And all you have to do to stop me is be more of a ninja than I am.

I get it, I get it! I promise I'll step lightly!

Good!

[smiles, though it isn't just because he's pleased to hear that promise. he's got something of a mischievous glint in his eye.]

... Hey, what's with that look?

Oh, nothing! I just got an idea.

And you'd better share it!

[he wags a finger at her.]

Mmm, it's a surprise! I just got an idea for the festival.

Not even a hint?

Sure, I can give you a hint! It'll be awesome.
