[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 think it was something of a test, for the two of them. Seifer did not try to eat anyone again after Squall stood his ground, and Squall was much less dismissive of Seifer after the incident. But theirs was an extreme case; Excalibur was a sweetheart both before and after she evolved, and Gyarados has been perfectly civil and nice since I received him.

Three, as a matter of fact. Seifer was the first I received, and twice at that. Gyarados ended up with me almost a year ago, and I found Excalibur when Bartz disappeared.

Did he, now? Were those Ninetales passed from... himself to himself, or were they separated once he first disappeared?

Well, if they keep accumulating and going to new trainers over the years, it could someday lead to a whole team made up of inherited foxes. That'd be interesting to watch.

...Stolen?

[Well, that was an abrupt conclusion to that particular story.]

Was it by Team Rocket? Has the thief manifested themself since then? If they are still in this world, finding them and getting them back is still possible.

A big braggart with a distinctive laugh? I'll keep an eye out for such a person in Celadon. How did he manage to steal so many Pokémon?

Poisonings? I knew a few people had been sick around that time, but I'd not realized it was deliberate... Why would any Pokémon help steal and enslave others, knowing how much they'd be hurt if they were separated from their own trainers?

Others have previously mentioned seeing Pokémon that appeared mind-controlled. Whatever is responsible for such a terrible power should be destroyed at any cost.

Even non-humans can easily have a moral compass that does not lead them to theft, mind control and assault. I've met plenty of beings with the same interests, and all would have been just as nasty if they were human.
