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!

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.

I see. So, it looks like we have our path set, then! How long should it take to get to the next town?

Going by the map... I'd say a little over a week...?

We better start preparing then!

I've been preparing for a while now! Ever since I took on the gym myself, I started to buy things we would need for the road.

Ah, really? What have you bought so far?

Cooking utensils, a tea set, an extra umbrella, ponchos... And if I can find one, I'll get an easy to collapse and build tent for the road. For you and the other girls, of course.

Not to mention I'll buy a good supply of food that will hold up well for the trip when we have a date of departure decided, so we won't have to rely on trail mix and the like.
