[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?

Not in this world yet. Maybe ever.

I'm sure you will someday. After all, I thought I would never see anyone from my world, and they're here.

Thanks. I just figure if they do show up, they'll need the extra help and that way I don't have to worry about them.

You must care for this person a lot.

Hn. They're one of the few people I trust most in the world, yeah.

I see. Then I hope they do end up here one day.

Thanks.

I don't think they'd mind it too much anyway.

This world is a lot of fun, after all!

It's got moments at least.

Ever since arriving here, I've only had fun.

Hah, really? I'm glad to hear that.

Maybe this place is most fun for kids.

I think so. I've really been able to have fun as a kid here.

Heh, makes sense.

Secretly, it's not so bad as an adult either.

It isn't?

Nah, it's not an all bad break I guess.

Not what I'd choose to do, but since I don't have a choice, then yeah, this place is probably the best of those.

After all, we could have ended up somewhere dangerous.

[Small chuckle.]

Supposedly I was somewhere dangerous. Hell, the next place I wanted to go is supposed to be a hundred times worse. Or so they say.

Still, that many kids winding up someplace like that would be bad.

Mii... It would. Hopefully there would have been people to protect them.

Hn. Not if everyone had wound up in my world.

... Really?

Well, not on the Grand Line and New World anyway, yes. It's a dangerous place.

Did you live in either of those places?

More recently. I was hoping to go to the New World anyway. It's where Mugiwara will be going next.

For about half a year I've been on the Grand Line though.

... That does not sound very pleasant. Do you have anywhere you can call home?

My ship. Before that I was stationed at Loguetown for several years however. And I've got some close people there. My niece sort of god-daughter is there.
