[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.

A fake sky? How could you tell it was fake?

Because we know who's making it.

Were you happy there?

[it's an innocent question-- Sora's just never heard of someone creating a fake sky that people were living under, and it seems sort of... well, unhappy. not that one would know that a fake sky is unhappy if that's all he or she knew.]

[Hope doesn't even need to think about his answer.]

No, I wasn't.

Well... I'm glad you're here instead then, Hope. We wouldn't have met if neither of us were here.

... And we couldn't have dueling teddy bears, either.

[He cracks a smile at that, especially when his own teddy bear perks up with the nickname and starts fussing in Hope's grip.]

[Sora smiles back, and when Teddiursa sees his rival teddy bear squirming, he immediately dives right into his exercises. he's going to win, gosh darnit.]

[Teddiursa used GROWL! -- Oh, wait, she cant use that move anymore.

So she just squirms out of Hope's arms and opens up round 3!]

[snorts.]

You too are gonna be so stout you won't even fit in your Pokéballs anymore.

But at least they'll be tough enough for the battles.

I might finally get a gym badge! And I'm discovering that battling's actually a lot of fun; Puddles doesn't really like to battle so I never got to do it very much.

Well, now you've got someone who'd love to do it.

Yeah! I need to think of a good name for him, too.

Teddy?

[So, so unimaginative.]

That could work! Hmm...

[watches his Teddiursa frantically try to keep up with the stoutness exercises.]

I'd call him Winnie, but he doesn't really act very much like Pooh Bear.

Who's Pooh Bear?

Winnie the Pooh's a good friend of mine! He's the one who taught me how this exercise, and he loves to eat honey. And milk, and chocolate, and, pretty much everything.

Sounds like the teddy bears.

[laughs.]

Yeah... He's a teddy bear himself, actually. Stuffed with fluff and everything!

... Whoa.

How?

You know, I have no idea. I just stopped asking questions about everything after a while-- especially after the candy spaceships.

[Staring.]

I think I shouldn't ask either.

[Sora can't help but grin at that expression.]

That's not even the weirdest thing I've seen.

[Okay, color him curious]

What is?

The inside of a whale. It's sort of like walking through a rainbow.
