[018; video/action for goldenrod]

[keychained]

[hey there, Johto! it's New Year's Eve, and as such the network is receiving a video feed from Father Time himself-- who knows where the hobbling little bearded old man came from, but he's currently curled up warm and toasty leaning up against the inn at Goldenrod, with his hat and his windbreaker and his scarf and his Girafarig blanket and-- wait. it's just Sora.]

[it appears he's wearing as many Christmas presents as he could pile on today (yes, the beard was a Christmas present. it's long and gray and glorious and one of these days he'll notice the stuffed pidgey in there, too). and when he starts speaking, it sounds like Father Time is having a really difficult... time... keeping a straight face.]

... My egg exploded into a dinosaur! See? [the feed turns to reveal a very tiny Tropius-- even though she's just a baby, it's pretty obvious that she's on the small side... probably around knee height to Trainer. the Tropius squeaks in greeting and flaps a leaf like she's trying to wave.]

The pokédex said that these guys start to grow their favorite fruit around their necks because it's the only thing they eat. Sooo, I was wondering... Has anybody seen a star-shaped fruit around? I already checked the stores here, but no luck.

Soon, we'll all be together again, like one big family.

Like a big family reunion! Right?

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Hee hee, exactly!

That'll be nice... Are you guys taking the long way or the shortcut?

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

... There's a shortcut?

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Yeah. If you have the Plain badge, you can go through Route 36 and cut your travel time by at least a week.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, neither of us have the Plain Badge.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Oh... Well, be careful in the cave then, all right?

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Of course~!
