[As the feed starts you'd expect to see someone there... well you don't, but that's quite common too, isn't it? Instead you see a lot of grass and something that looks a lot like dandelion colours... but doesn't look like a flower. More like a jacket that's been left there.

And then the jacket moves. Slowly it gets higher and out of the view. Someone must have picked it up. Well, almost. Next you see it flying (yes, flying) in the distance, followed by a young looking boy.]

Oi! Come back with that.

[Luckily for this young boy, the jacket is too heavy for the Pidgey and it's easy to catch. Though once the jacket is off it flies away.]

Geez, and I just took it off for a while because it's too hot.

[It's your own fault for stopping to take a break in the long grass, Shiraishi. He'll return back to the previous spot (right outside the gear) and sighs as he sits down. Traveling was a harder than he thought.]

Maybe I should have stayed in town until the evening so the sun wouldn't be so bright... are you alright, Budew?

[There's a small, cheerful "Budew" sound coming from somewhere near the gear.]

Well, it can't be helped now... we'll just try to get to the next town as fast as we can. Or spend time in shades before we do.

[It's a mystery why they don't right now.

The feed will continue with the grassy view. It doesn't seem like they'll notice anytime soom that it's recording somehow.]

Wai----

Please wait? [ He looked --- quite familiar ... but she wasn't sure.

Maybe it was simply her imagination? ]

[kyoukashotennis]

Huh? [Shiraishi will look around now.] Did you hear something, Budew?

Budew...?

video;

[thewhite_symphony]

[ That voice ... it was familiar. ]

Oh my! It's you! Welcome back --- strange ...

You look slightly different.

[ They never exchanged names last time. ]

video;

[kyoukashotennis]

[Sorry, it will take him a while to actually pick up the gear and notice someone is talking to him and it was mostly thanks to the Budew for noticing.]

Oh... hello? [What a pretty girl. Though how does she know him and what does she mean by welcome back... odd.]

Do we... know each other?

video;

[thewhite_symphony]

Hnm?

[ He doesn't remember her? It was possible ... that this might not be the same person. But the resemblance was too ... much.

Maybe he does look slightly younger. Could he be a relative of that boy?

Shiraishi, I hope it doesn't freak you out how carefully she is observing you. ]

Maybe not ... but you closely resemble someone I know not very long ago.

This may sound ... silly but you two could be brothers.

video;

[kyoukashotennis]

[He'll look a bit confused at that, but since she's at the other end of the screen it should be alright... right?]

Well that is silly because I don't have brothers. Just sisters.

video;

[thewhite_symphony]

[ The voice so similar as well ... it was so strange. They had so many similarities that she could swear they were the same person. ]

Sisters? How about male cousins?

[ Pause. ]

I don't suppose you play tennis too ...

Video; because Win was still in new bark by the time of this post

[usedwrench]

[There was something familiar with this voice... Hmmmm.]

That, or you could tell your new friend to get it back from the bird.

Video;

[kyoukashotennis]

[Huh...? A girls' voice? Shiraishi'll glance around and then down.

Hey what's the device doing there? Picking it up.]

Sorry, I didn't realize this was on. [Slightly embarrassing that.] I already got my jacket back. The Pidgey was pretty slow after all.

Video;

[usedwrench]

[Well, right. Winry should have said "or next time you could" instead of what she just sa---

Okay. She knows that face. Kind of, it looks a bit weird, but...

...Just. S T A R I N G!]

Mister Shiraishi? Is that really you?

[Because excuse her but ... what?!

Is this the reverse or the karma of Ed becoming a giant, other people becoming smaller?!]

Video;

[kyoukashotennis]

[Have a blink. Someone who knew his name? But... the girl didn't look familiar at all. Weird. Had he befriended a girl in his sleep? bet Kenya would be jealous of that kind of an ability]

I am Shiraishi, but... how do you know me?

Video;

[usedwrench]

[Yup, it really is... Or maybe it's not. Maybe she should avoid the question. Let's check a few things first!]

Uh. Do you have any brothers~?

[Or maybe she talked about this with him a long time ago. maybe. She still needs to check.]

Video;

[kyoukashotennis]

[Shiraishi'll frown.]

No. Just sisters.

video; late because this post eluded me somehow

[comeatmibro]

Poison-bro!

[ But how could you miss the sound of Miyuki bellowing on the other end of the 'Gear? Yeah, she definitely recognized him. ]

video; better late than never, right? <3

[kyoukashotennis]

[Oh he's pretty good at missing things when the gears in the grass and mostly out of his sight... but it doesn't take too long for him to notice it.

Or maybe it's the mention of 'poison' here. Though he has no idea who you're talking about. So he'll look apologetic.]

I'm sorry, but you must have the wrong number... [Or whatever these gears used.]

video; yep! ♥

[comeatmibro]

[ He does look kind of different, she notices now. ]

C'mon, don't tease me, dude.

video;

[kyoukashotennis]

I'm not? There's no one called Poison here. [And that is one odd name anyway.]

video;

[comeatmibro]

[ Miyuki looks impatient. ]

Dude. Kura-bro.

video;

[kyoukashotennis]

[Kura-bro... from Kuranosuke?]

... you meant me?

[... but who is this little girl?]

video;

[tarotcards]

[ Oh, that's a familiar face!! Man, so many people returning, Souji's so happy!! (yay) ]

The weather has been sunny these days, so it's probably best to stay under the trees, Shiraishi.

video;

[kyoukashotennis]

[Let's have a cheerful reunion Souji-- except not. You'll just get a really confused look from the other end once you get a reply.]

Yeah, it's a good idea... but I'm sorry have we met?

video;

[tarotcards]

[ --oh... he doesn't remember!! Noooooooo... ]

Ah, sorry about that. You were here in Johto before, but I guess you don't remember.

video;

[kyoukashotennis]

[Oh, this again.]

Does this have something to do with my future self being here? Cause I heard of that before. [He should have guessed earlier, but he's trying not to think of that]

video;

[tarotcards]

That probably explains it. You do look younger.

[ And Souji thought he was just tired and imagining it. ]

video;

[kyoukashotennis]

Well I'm fourteen... I'm not sure how old the... other was. I take it you were my... his... friend?

[Wow that's awkward.]
