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!

Hm? Ah, well... Hinagiku-san is... Mm. She's a very stubborn and strong girl. But she's also incredibly kind and treats all of her friends with respect. To be honest, I really admire that about her...

As for Sakuya-san, well... She's energetic, violent and stubborn... However, she's also kind to those she cares about, and has a pretty good sense of humor. In fact, I would say her sense of humor is her defining feature.

[She smiles] They sound like some of my own friends from home. I'd like to meet those two someday.

Ahaha... The odds of that are pretty low, but I'm sure you'd get along with them!

You never know! A friend from my hometown is here, after all.

Mm... Still, I wouldn't put too much faith in it...

Hmm... It really isn't very likely... The fact that we're even here is still surprising.

Yeah... There's really no order involving who comes and who goes...

Yes. It's all a matter of chance.

Haaa... Which is exactly why the odds aren't in my favor...

Is it because you have bad luck?

Mm... It's been a big factor in a lot of things for me.

I'm sure you'll have good luck someday!

Mmm... I'm not.

Which is exactly why I need to work hard.

[She pats him on the head.] I'm sure all that hard work will pay off, then!

Ahaha... At least it has here! Working hard to train my Pokemon is easy enough.

Exactly! And all the hard work of traveling will pay off too!

Mm... I hope you're right. Though we haven't done that much traveling, have we?

No, but I don't mind taking a break at all! I've been having a lot of fun in Violet.

Mm... Still, I'd like to try going to Azalea in the near future... It won't be much of a journey if we stay here for too long.

You're right. We need to keep the adventure going!

However, I hope you don't mind staying here for a little longer, since I'd like to try the gym before we leave.

--eh? Well... I don't know when you plan on challenging him, but even if we leave before you do, we'll have to loop back around eventually...

...We'll be looping back around?

It should take some time, but according to the map, we should be able to use Route 36 to get back here really easy... A shame we can't use it to get over there though.

You've really been planning this out, Hayate!

Is there something blocking us from using that Route from here?

--eh? N-not really... I've just had a lot time to think over how we're going to keep going...

Aaa... Yeah... There's some really strange tree in the way, and no matter what way you go, it's just impossible to find a way further down the route that doesn't involve going past it.

... it's a lot like being railroaded down a certain path in a video game.
