009 [action/video]

[The video feed turns on and is focused on a Drifblim before the Gear is turned towards Rika, who grins. In the background is the entrance to Azalea.] Guardian evolved! He's now a Drifblim! [She sounds excited as she turns the video back onto the pokémon.] He's the first one on my team to evolve. [She takes a breath to say something else, but before she has the chance to, a bright light from somewhere offscreen begins to flood the video feed.]

[Rika hands off the Gear to her Mime Jr as she goes to inspect the light, which is emanating from the location her Magikarp was at only a few seconds ago. Once the light dies down, the Magikarp is now replaced with a Gyarados, and a surprised Rika looking up at it.] You evolved too? [The Gyarados lets out a roar in confirmation before it lunges forward to tackle Rika.]

[The video feed promptly shuts off as the Mime Jr discards the Gear, rushing to its trainer's side.]

-- are you certain? It might be somewhat dangerous, considering the mischievous natures of the Pokemon involved. [p-particularly that Tentacruel]

Of course! I've been in much more dangerous situations before!

He's unwilling to listen without discipline.

Do you think you might be able to teach him to listen?

[s-somewhat worried look]

I think what would have happened if no one stepped in to get you out of the way would have been quite a few levels above 'bad'.

Don't worry, I've come out just fine! [What a total lie.]

I'm sure my team would have steeped in before that could've happened.

Ah, that's true... Most of your team is out right now, aren't they?

Yes. I have a feeling that none of them would stand by and watch something terrible happen.

With a trainer like you, it's only natural they wouldn't stand by and let it happen.

*Turning to the Drifblim and the Mime Jr* --sorry for stealing your chance to be heroic, you two!

That's true! [The Mime Jr flings itself at Hayate, hugging him.]

I think they're fine with it!

[Mitsuru has no reason to suspect otherwise, so... she just kind of nods]

[She also nods.] Among such dangerous things would be the games that my club used to play!

-- games? How did your club make them dangerous?

Well, we had punishments if we didn't win. Not to mention, there were a lot of traps set and many opportunities to cheat.

*aaaaaaa what the-- c-catching that mime!* --It certainly looks that way!

[Rika giggles as Mime Jr puts its arms around Hayate's neck, hugging him tightly.] Yes. I think he's thanking you!

Furude, are you certain you and your friends should have been making your game so dangerous? [... totally thinking that these punishments and traps were like. Deadly]

[She notices that maybe she should actually explain how they were "dangerous".]

Well, the games were only dangerous if you were losing. After all, you wouldn't want to do something embarrassing if you lost!

Embarra-- [okay that clear some things up and Mitsuru sighs] How silly of me... Of course you wouldn't.

[Rika giggles now.] Of course we wouldn't what?

I don't believe anyone would want to be embarrassed on purpose.

Of course not! That's why our games become so dangerous.

Dangerous is a peculiar term to use for them, however.
