[It's sometime midday when Rika turns the Gear on, and faces the camera towards herself. She's currently sitting down on the trail right outside of Goldenrod, coming back from a training session with her team.] Mii. Training really is a lot of fun. It's a great way to spend time with all of my pokémon. [She grins as a Ninetails nuzzles against her face.] Ah, that's right! Hope has finally evolved. She's become very strong, and I decided that it was time for her to evolve, and now she's gotten even stronger. [Rika pats the Ninetails on the head.] I'm very proud of her.

[There's a small pause before Rika smiles again.] As of today, I have a new member on my team! [She puts the Gear down for a moment as she releases a pokémon. Once she picks it back up, Rika now has a Bulbasaur in her lap.] I'm not exactly sure what to name him yet, but I know that I will come up with a good name! Nipaa!

I've noticed that so many people seem to have really interesting names for their pokémon. How do you decide what to name your pokémon?

[Rika's silent for a moment, debating whether or not to tell her.]

... I do.

[wantnotneed.livejournal.com]

... Are you two twins? [Because that's the only thing she can think of.]

video

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I don't think so.

video

[wantnotneed.livejournal.com]

What is your connection to her?

video

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

That's a good question. I'm not sure of that myself.

video

[wantnotneed.livejournal.com]

... I see.

But to answer your question, I named them after familiar beings.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

... Familiar beings?

video

[wantnotneed.livejournal.com]

I guess you would call them demons.

video

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I see. Why did you name your team after them?

video

[wantnotneed.livejournal.com]

It gives off a sense of familiarity.

video

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Are you often surrounded by demons?

video

[wantnotneed.livejournal.com]

To be blunt, yes.

video

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

... Are you one yourself?

video

[wantnotneed.livejournal.com]

Yes. I am Mammon of Greed, one of the Seven Stakes of Purgatory.

video

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

What are the Seven Stakes of Purgatory?

video

[wantnotneed.livejournal.com]

Furniture, tool of the Witches.

video

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

So you're at their disposal?

video

[wantnotneed.livejournal.com]

Yes, we are. It is our duty and something we must put above everything else.

video

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

... I see. What do they have you do?

video

[wantnotneed.livejournal.com]

Hm~ Maybe we can talk about this another time.

What's your name?

video

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I'm Rika Furude.

... And you're Mammon, right?

video

[wantnotneed.livejournal.com]

That's right.

Are you a witch... by any chance?

video

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Why do you ask?
