[When the feed clicks on, it's to a close up shot of a Shedinja floating inside what appears to be a hotel room. The ghost is just staring blankly at the screen, neither moving nor giving any other sort of indication that it's alive or that it really had any reason for apparently deciding to turn the gear on.]

[Just. Staring.]

[It's probably kind of unnerving and the worst part is that this goes on for a good twenty minutes before something else finally happens.]

Ugh, Phoebe did you hide my gear somewhere again? It was cute and kind of funny like the first maybe...three times? But that's really starting to wear off, sorry to say. Jeez, where is everyone it's like a gravey--

[John's voice can be heard in the background, and just as he wonders to himself where all his Pokémon went, his feet can be seen in the background behind the Shedinja. He sighs.]

Well that explains where everyone went at least. [The neon green argyle sock-clad feet approach the bug ghost and the camera.] Exos, what are you doing over here...oh. Ugh, not you too! Jesus what does a guy have to do, I swear... [The camera jostles as John, still mumbling to himself, picks the 'gear up. He redirects the camera to his own face, looking a little exasperated.]

Sorry about that. Exos is...well okay I have no idea what the fuck he was trying to accomplish there, if anything at all. But since this is already on, may as well make some kind of point here I guess. Umm, let's see...

Tell me about your favorite type of Pokémon. Or your favorite species, anything like that. Feel free to gush about your team and the things you have accomplished together, I don't mind. It's actually kind of fun to hear what other people have to say about their companions.

Here, I will even go first. Ghost types are my favorite and thanks to Bro Strider, I recently finished my collection of grim, grinning ghosts. I now have at least one of every ghost-type evolutionary line. My favorite species is Haunter. Mostly for nostalgia reasons but Haunters have the added benefit of just being pretty awesome in general.

I own three of the types so far, with overlap in two of them, so...I'm not making bad progress, but you're right that it's hard! I think you can only get them from other people.

At least, I haven't managed to find a dig site as of yet. If I could, I'd be gone in a heartbeat.

[ BECAUSE SCREW LINEARITY IF THERE WERE A DIG SITE. ]

Kabuto and Omanyte? As the two with overlap, I mean. I had a feeling that might be the case though...that's the only way I have ever seen people get them. Either in those random eggs we sometimes get for Christmas and Easter or as their starter. Or as an egg from somebody else who got them from one of those two places. Maybe you could try asking about it? Like on the network I mean.

If not, you could always try asking at the Pewter museum when you make it over here to Kanto.

Kabutops and Aerodactyl! I have two of each kind, for overlap. And then the Carracosta I got from Rose a while back, when she was an egg. I don't have an Omanyte - I haven't seen one for sale recently. I might ask, though!

I can't wait to get to that museum! I've heard so much about it! My travel guide highly recommends it, and so do the books on fossils I got at Christmas!!

[ Pity the rest of her travel team when they get there. They will have to drag her bodily from Pewter. NEVER LEAVE. ]

Oh! Ahaha, I thought you meant type overlap for some reason, my bad. Durrr... yeah I think those are the two I have seen the most of as well. I think both of your past incarnations had Omanytes but those are the only ones I have seen of those...which is a shame because Omanyte is downright adorable.

The museum was really cool though, yeah! We took a lot of pictures while we were there, you will probably enjoy it even more than we did though.

[He can already see it in his mind's eye. He will just laugh when this day comes.]

Oh, no, I wasn't being very clear! And I agree! I love those socks you got me. [ The Omanyte ones from Christmas, that is. ] Hm...well, I'll keep an eye out for them. I can't be a proper archaeologist without all the fossils, right?

I'm really looking forward to it! Almost as much as all the towers!
