003 [video]

[It's late at night, and Rika is sitting on the ground, resting. In the background, there are a few trees and patches of grass. She's currently sitting on the trail itself, her Vulpix right beside her. She looks sad for a moment before she has the camera completely focused on her, and she smiles.]

I'm currently on my way to Violet City. I believe it is only a few more days! [She gives a big smile.] I can't wait to see this city! I think Hope is excited too!  [She moves the pokegear to show the Vulpix, who is currently sniffing at something on the ground.]

[When the camera returns to Rika, her demanor has changed slightly and she has a sad smile on her face.] Mii, I've been thinking recently about how everyone has been away from home. So, I was wondering... what was your hometown like? [It's obvious she's feeling homesick, and the only thing she could think of to feel better was to talk to others about their own worlds.]

An island, on the Great Sea.

What is it like there?

Peaceful. Usually.

And you?

It was also quite peaceful...and quiet. At least, until the yearly festival.

[A puzzled look. What kind of festival?]

[She realizes that she probably should've explained it at least a little bit.] Ah! It's called the Watanagashi. We drift balls of cotton down the river, which washes away all of our sins.
