[Rika's currently sitting outside, leaning up against a tree. The camera focuses on her, a huge smile present on her face.]

Thanks to Professor Elm, I now have some more supplies! Mii... I should be leaving soon, and it looks like Hope agrees with me.

[She giggles and turns the camera to her Vulpix--newly named Hope--who sniffs the camera curiously. She turns the camera back to herself.]

Looks like it's time to fight on!

You arrived here recently as well?

[voice]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Fairly recently. I arrived here about a week ago, but there was so much rain that I couldn't leave.

[voice]

[usediceshard.livejournal.com]

I assumed so from the amount of water still on the ground. How severe was it?

[voice]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Pretty severe. Many people had to seek shelter in the Pokémon Centers, and weren't able to leave for several days. I also heard that there was massive flooding in some areas.

--ah, Rika-san! You're ready to get moving?

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Yep, I'm ready for adventure!

Are you ready to yet?

[video]

[combat_butler]

Mm, I am! But, ah-- You still want to travel together, right? I did say I'd accompany you until you found your friend...

[voice]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Good. I might head out soon, too...

[voice]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Are you traveling with anyone?

[voice]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Just two Pokemon. [at least until he meets up with Shelly again]

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

It seems many of us will be leaving New Bark at similar times.

[ voice ]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Yes, it seems so. Are you going to be traveling with anybody?

[ voice ]

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

I believe I might be traveling with Tenjoin and Ayasaki, as well as a little girl Ayasaki said he promised he'd look out for. I have yet to meet her, however.

[that being said, the fact that she's a little girl means Mitsuru has to ask one thing]

Are you all right? You sound cheerful, but the sudden change in yours surroundings didn't frighten you too much, did it?

Ahhh, make sure you're careful Rika-chan! I wish I could travel with you.

[voice]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I will make extra sure, Rena! I wish I could travel with you too. Where are you?

[voice]

[cleaverchan.livejournal.com]

I was in Mahogany Town before! But now I'm in Ecruteak City.

[primaduelerina.livejournal.com]

Everyone seems to have the same idea about heading on.

[ video ]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

There does seem to be a trend! I think it has to do with the rain finally clearing up.

[ video ]

[primaduelerina.livejournal.com]

That's right-- I heard it flooded.

[dreams-to-fly.livejournal.com]

Hope?

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Yep! I thought it suited my Vulpix quite well.

[dreams-to-fly.livejournal.com]

Oh! You finally named Vulpix! [She nods her head.] It's a really nice name, Rika-san. [She smiles.] How are you? I heard you said something about leaving town tommorrow.

[imawitchtoo.livejournal.com]

Uu... [Don't mind her, she's looking at Vulpix.]

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Mii? [Rika notices she's looking at Vulpix.] Do you like my Vulpix?

[video]

[imawitchtoo.livejournal.com]

Uu? [She looks away, a little shy, then turns back with a bright smile.] Like-like! Uu!!
