7th | Video + Action | Route 36

[When the feed opens, you first see an Eevee. He's snuggling against Shiraishi who's trying to keep the camera steady. Behind him you can see a small camping site on some route. Once the camera is well enough, he'll speak.]

It seems that Ai Hidaka has been sent home. I got her Eevee this morning before leaving Violet. [The Eevee makes a sad sound, but also pushes his head a little against Shiraishi's chest, to comfort him. Shiraishi pets him.] I think I've already lost count on how many have left that I've known... but I'm sure they're all happy to be home with their friends and family. Who knows, they might even come back one day and then we'll have a reunion.

[There's a smile on his face. He's sad about all of them, of course, but he's not letting it show too much. He needs to be strong and keep his emotions in control. If not for himself, then for his friends and the Pokémon. Especially since the Eevee was so young.]

I decided it's time for me to continue traveling so I'm heading towards Ecruteak next. I didn't challenge the Violet Gym yet, because I'm thinking about trying the Kanto gyms first once I've traveled through Johto.

[Which might take a while because of Shiraishi's excellent sense of direction, but he has all the time in the world, right?]

Though I do have a question. Where do you think should I go after reaching Ecruteak? According to the map there's two different paths: one to Mahogany Town and one to Olivine City. Which of those should I see first?

_{[oh no sad souls on the network, Miguel to the rescue.]} Sorry about your friend.

Olivine is a pretty city, not to mention the way there is very relaxing. _{[Angry Tauros incidents aside.]}

[kyoukashotennis]

Thank you. [Is that even what you're supposed to say to something like that? Ah.]

Relaxing? Do you mean it's a really easy route or something?

[video]

[trailweblaze]

Yeah, it's pretty easy. Plains and flat land and a direct road right into town. There's a lot of farms around there too.

[kyoukashotennis]

That does sound really relaxing. Interesting too, since I've never really been to a farm before.

You can't miss them, they are everywhere. I think there's a few where you can stop and rest, if I recall correctly.

[kyoukashotennis]

Resting at a place like that might be nice, especially if the road to Olivine is long. [Thinking.] Going to Olivine sounds like the better choice.

[trailweblaze]

It takes a little more than a week, but I recommend it.

That doesn't sound so bad. [It might even be fun, even if he'd be alone. Last time he traveled that long he was with someone... but he'd be alright.] That's definitely a good choice. I'll see what other opinions I get, but now I'm interested in going to that direction.
