007 [video/action]

[complexrestart]

[Rika's facing the screen, looking excited. It looks like the video is being taken from a much smaller cameraman, who happens to be her Mime Jr.] I just caught a new pokémon! [The gear turns as Rika walks towards the newly caught pokémon, a Mareep, who looks a little camera shy. Rika notices this and pats it on the head.] Don't be shy! Say hello to everyone! [The pokémon lets out a small Reep! before scurrying behind Rika. She giggles.] She's a bit shy, but I know she's a fighter! She'll become strong.

[Then--] Karp! [The sounds comes from somewhere out of view of the gear. Rika's smile fades a bit.] Also... I was fishing earlier, and I ended up catching another pokémon. I tried to let him go, but... he kept following me. [She sighs as a Magikarp hops into her arms, looking smug.] ...He's also a new member of my team.

Yes. I've known Hanyuu my entire life, so I should at least name a team member after her, right?

Yes. Also, I think she is truly very strong, just like the Hanyuu from my world.

[She nods her head.] Right! It shows how much we love the person if we name a pokemon after someone.

Is that way you named her after your friend? Hanyuu reminded you of the Hanyuu from your world?

[Video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

It does. Have you named a pokémon after someone?

Yes. The Hanyuu from my world... she was very shy, yet I know she's strong.

[Video]

Not yet. I haven't found a pokemon that reminds me of anyone from back home. I've named my pokemon based on their personalities and what they remind me of.

Hmmm, she sounds really cute and a good fit for your Mareep then. I bet she would feel very honored that you think so highly of her, Rika-chan.

[She giggles.] I think she would. I've known her my entire life. How could I not think highly of her, though?

[She holds back and looks away wondering if she should say anything, but it wouldn't be a good idea. Misuzu doesn't want to worry Rika again.]

Well...ummm...I've known my mom for a long time, but I barely know anything about her. I don't admire her, but I don't hate her either. There's no one back home that I think highly of at all. [She doesn't know what it feels like to admire anyone back home.]

[Video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

[Her smile fades a bit.] ... Really?

Is there anyone here that you think highly of?

[Video]

[dreams-to-fly.livejournal.com]

[She'll just nod her head.]

Four people. No, five. I admire five people in Johto.

[Video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Ah, really? Who are they?

[Video]

[dreams-to-fly.livejournal.com]

[She starts to blush, but will tell her regardless.]

Rika-chan, Mitsuru-san, Minnie-san, Hayate-san, and Athrun-san. [And then she realizes something.] Oh and Hermonie-chan! Niha! I almost forgot about her.

[Video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

[She giggles.] I think highly of you too, Misuzu!

You must really like Hermonie.

[Video]

[dreams-to-fly.livejournal.com]

Really? [She smiles and nods her head.] Thank you, Rika-chan.

[At the mention of Hermonie, her cheeks turn a bit more red than usual. She nods her head.] Mmm, I do. It's hard not to like her. She's very pretty, smart, and kind. [She wonders.] Do you think it's weird to like another girl?

[Video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Of course not! You like who you like. Whether or not it's another girl doesn't matter.

[Video]

[dreams-to-fly.livejournal.com]

Rika-chan is really nice too. Niha! My mom would get upset with me if she knew about this and Yukito-san would think I'm even more weird.

[Video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Even more weird?

[Video]

[dreams-to-fly.livejournal.com]

Oh right! I've never told you much about my life back home, right? [She scratches the back of her head.] Well, I'm going to tell you the truth why I don't have any friends back home is mostly about my illness. Everyone knows about it back home because I have break downs daily at school. It's one of the main reasons why no likes to play with me...I tend to cry when I finally ask them especially when they are close to agreeing. Although, lately people started to make excuses not to play with me, so I was close to giving up on my summer goal.

[Video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

What was your summer goal?

[Video]

[dreams-to-fly.livejournal.com]

To make friends and play with them all summer long. It's always been my goal ever since I was little. I want to play with my friends at the beach, close to the shrine, in the forest, at my house, and play lots of different types of games. That's always been my goal.

[Video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

You've met that goal now! All we need to do is go on that trip to the beach!

[Video]

[dreams-to-fly.livejournal.com]

[She nods her head happily.] Mmmm! It would be great to play at the beach, but if we can't, then I don't mind playing card games with everyone. I've always wanted to play card games with other people instead of playing by myself. I know lots of different types of games.

[Video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I know a lot of games too! We could teach eachother some. Since we'll be traveling togehter, we'll have plenty of time to play!

[Video]

[dreams-to-fly.livejournal.com]

That'll be great! I bet Rika-chan knows a lot of games!

[Video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I do! I used to be in a gaming club, after all!
