[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?

[Once again one of those posts where she could comment to a lot of things... But the question at the end makes her forget everything else.

Okay, locking this thing to you because she might explain stuff.]

GO TO OLIVINE! O-LI-VI-NE!

[She's ... not exactly yelling at him, just raising her voice a bit.]

[Shiraishi's confused about why the reply is private... and also because Winry's reacting seems a bit odd.]

Okay. I've gotten a few recommendations on Olivine, so I had thought of choosing that.

Good. Because you don't want to go to Mahogany without HMs.

[geez, flying or surfing and she doesn't exactly even remember where the surf goes ... since she never had the chance to try that anyways.

Or well, there's always the Ice Path thing too and... and he'd get lost in the caves!]

...to make sure that you'll get out of there whenever you want to get away.

Well, I do have a Pokémon that has Fly. [Though he's never really flown with him before.]

What's wrong with Mahogany?

Oh... Right, you have that covered. Good for you, but at least make sure that it lets you fly with it.

UMMMM. I have a personal grudge sort of thing against it. When I first came to this world, I ... sort of woke up in Mahogany instead of New Bark, and then I had to stay there for I don't even want to remember how long in the middle of pokemon who were difficult to beat with my pokemon.

So, I just -- really don't ... have many good memories of that place.

[Wait... what.]

You started in Mahogany Town? [That can't be normal, right?] Though I can understand why that would be difficult and give bad memories, yes. At least you had a better start this time?

I-It's where all Rockets start, or used to start or still start, I don't even know...

Though yeah, bad memories from there and good memories from the way I started this time. I always wanted to be a breeder here, really.

So you were in Team Rocket when you were here? [He hasn't been actively talking about the team, but he's seen and heard a lot of it. Not impressed. Not at all.] You can be forced to start as one of them?

[He can't even imagine what would have happened if he had started out as a Rocket. Obviously he wouldn't have survived too long.]

Good thing this place decided to be nice to you after putting you through that...

I was... Though I never did anything related to their work. [Except heard them talking about stuff and was on duty to tell either Ed or Roy about it?!] I -- think it's about as random as who disappears next? I wasn't forced to it, I just woke up in there and was supposed to be one of them. [So they might have a lot of members, who don't want to be in there. And she can really, really really sympathize with that.

D'awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, Shiraishi. Have a smile and a blush from her.]

It's the best career here for a girl like me, really. I think it's kind of my work at home too, where my work is to help people to be able to do things themselves and protect themselves if something happens...

[Well, sort of. Ed fights a lot and normal people are able to run with their limbs and do normal, every day life because of them... And here she breeds pokemon to be their friends and protect them and be there for them and... uh, yes best career okay.]

Well, some might not be so lucky to avoid Rocket business, even if they wouldn't want to do it. [He sighs.] This world really has a few nasty tricks on its sleeves.

[Though he nods at the career choice talk.]

Mm. It seems like you really got a good job... and I'm sure you'll do brilliantly in it.

Everyone can try to run away from it, or quit it and do some dish washing and other work at inns and other places to make up for it. [She sighs too. Well, she had to go to jail because she was one of them, but...] Yeah, bad things happen sometimes... I'm glad it's just 'sometimes' though.

[Have a smile.]

I hope so. I guess I should start it one day. [Sheepish little laugh.]

Mm. I hope that's the case and no one's really doing bad things even if they don't really want to. [He sighs. Johto why are you so mean.

Though onto more pleasant topics.]

Hopefully you won't start it with accidents.

I don't know... I guess they don't really have the power to force anyone to do anything, what with no knowledge about the people who come from different worlds. [So they won't know their weaknesses and that way they can't use their weaknesses against them... Talking from experience here, okay. ~~Except some Rockets know her, but shhhhhhh, she's not sure that they're part of TR.~~]

I don't plan to start with acci--

--idents. N-Not that anyone really plans those accidents, but ...

[ASAJSDNHJWSHJJJJKSKAWDJK!]

[Shiraishi laughs a little at her reaction.]

Just don't leave your Pokémon by themselves for too long and you'll be fine. A good lesson I learned.

[Don't laugh at her! ;;; oh well, actually... laughing is a good reaction!]

Yeah, I've heard about that. And also had some Pikachu eggs looong time ago, back when I was still here for the first time ever. See, this is why everyone should get an Audino! Not only are they amazing Pokémon, but they also learn the move called Attract ...No one in their right or insane minds would leave any Pokémon party alone with an Audino who uses it as a way to say hello to everyone.

...Okay, maybe some people would, but I'm not one of them.

[He can't help it since Winry's so cute.]

A flirting Pokémon. I think... I can understand how that feels. My Ivysaur keeps looking at all my female grass-types. [Which is... why the accident happened.]
