006 [video/action]

[There's a shot of Rika walking down the streets of Violet City as she carries an egg. The camera is a bit shaky since the cameraman is a Drifloon currently floating around its trainer. She looks up at the Drifloon.]

... I wonder when he's going to hatch. [Rika looks back down at the egg again, and it starts wiggling. A lot. So strongly that she's barely able to hold it.] Ah! [The Drifloon takes hold of the egg as Rika takes the Gear from it.] Thank you, Guardian!

[Suddenly, a Mime Jr. emerges! It barrels towards Rika and into her arms, almost knocking her backwards. She manages to keep her balance and hugs the baby pokémon. Rika grins and looks excitedly at the screen as the Drifloon floats behind her happily.] He hatched!

Mmm... I don't doubt it!

Haha, she'll probably try to get revenge on me if she finds out her best-kept secret is out. I found out totally by accident one day, and then Johan found out later, and we completely ambushed her! And now I'm telling you... hahaha, oh man. She's gonna beat me up, definitely.

[And yet he still can't help but wear that shit-eating grin that says he'll take it in the name of friendship and rainbows.]

Thank you! I know I will too!

Would you like for me to take Mime Jr. back?

[She can't help but laugh.] You always have to find their ultimate weakness though! It's only necessary in case you have to get something from them in the future! It's like a secret weapon!

I'm only being honest.

[She smiles again.]

I think you're very strong too, Asuka.

[vagabondfool.livejournal.com]

Oh, definitely, I agree! It's important to know those things about your friends, hehehe.

[He looks fairly proud of himself for this discovery of his. No shame at all, naturally.]

[action]

[primaduelerina.livejournal.com]

-- Eh?

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

You are. You're not afraid to fight and I know that you hold firm in what you believe.

Rika-chan! [HE'S BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.]

[Normally his Aipom would have probably jumped in the way to get the hug himself, but instead he will hop off his shoulder as Keiichi hugs her. He does not want to ruin the tender moment.]

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Oh, it really is. I know how to get back at my friend Keiichi when I need to. [There's a mischievous glint in her eyes.]

[video]

[vagabondfool.livejournal.com]

[He grins slyly.] Haha, so you've got a weakness of his, too, huh? Make sure you keep yours safe from anyone else, though!

[Action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

You're finally here! [She continues to hug him.]

[Action]

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

[He gives her a well deserved headpat.] Hehe... Sorry about that! Traffic was horrible!

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I do, and I'm not afraid to use it against him!

Oh, I will. I have it guarded under lock and key!

[Action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I forgive you! It's a long way to get here!

[action]

[primaduelerina.livejournal.com]

... Mm. I've had times where I completely lost hope, too. It's just... someone else showed me that, even when you're at the bottom, you can still do something.

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

That's what happened to me. My friends showed me that fate can be fought and that it can be defeated. You just have to hope and belive in yourself.

... My friend Keiichi taught me the most though. He showed me time and time again that we have the ability to change things; that they don't have to end up the way that they always do.

[vagabondfool.livejournal.com]

Careful with that key, then! You never know who'll try and trick you into spilling something.

[A smug smile -- THAT IS NOT SUGGESTING ANYTHING AT ALL, REALLY!]

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Oh, don't worry. I keep it closely guarded. I hope you keep yours guarded too.

[OH, IT'S ON NOW.]

[video]

[vagabondfool.livejournal.com]

Yeah, of course! My lips are completely sealed.

[IT IS SO ON.]

-- If you want. I don't mind.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

[She giggles as the pokémon continues to snuggle up against Johan.] I don't think he does either!

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, are you sure? There are ways I could find out other than you telling me.

[LIKE DONKEY KONG.]

[action]

[overthedratini.livejournal.com]

[In that case, he'll pull both bundles closer.] I'm glad to hear that-- But he is yours, do you want him back?

[video]

[vagabondfool.livejournal.com]

Maybe so, but I don't let down my guard that easily! Not after everything I've been through, hehe!

[...Despite the fact that every villain and their mother in his world knows how to troll the crap out of him.]
