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.]

Whoa-! What is tha-- R-Rika-san?! *at first Hayate just wanted to scream at the GIANT DRAGON. But then he saw it was about to dive headlong into Rika, so cue up the heroic sound track! Time for the butler to dramatically rush forward, scoop his favorite little sister figure up into his arms and get her a good ten feet away!*

Ah! Thank you, Hayate! [She's a little disoriented, but she smiles anyway.]

*letting out a big ol' sigh of relief before he puts Rika down* ... That was way too dangerous...

[Rika nods.] He didn't mean any harm, though.

*Staring at that... dragon* Whether he meant it or not, if someone hadn't stepped in that would have ended in disaster.

... Yes. I'm glad you were there, though!

There... can't be too many people who would just stand by and let a thing like that happened...

That's true! Many people would have trouble letting something bad happen.

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'.

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!

*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!

*not used to this kind of thank you!* Aaaa... Y-you're welcome...?!

[Mime Jr still hugs Hayate.] I think he also really likes you.

*s-sob awkwardly shifting a bit.* Ahaha... That or he's planning to strangle me in a minute or two.

I don't think he would... He doesn't seem dangerous.

Haha... I was just kidding!

Good! After all, I really don't think he would! If he tried, I wouldn't let him.

I would like to think nobody, Pokemon or human would want to strangle me, but... Haha... You never know!

I'd hope not! If anyone tries, they'll have to get through me!

Unless I somehow deserved it, I wouldn't let them go all the way.
