[The video feed turns on to show Rika sitting on the beach. Behind her is a sandcastle that her Ninetales and Ampharos are currently playing in, destroying it as they do so. There's also a Dragonair calmly watching them play.]

We made it to Olivine. It took a long time, but we can finally rest. [She looks behind her and giggles at her pokémon.] They look really happy to be here too.

Mii. How many people have been to the beach before coming here? Did you go a lot or only once? ... I remember there being a beach in Cherrygrove as well, so I wonder if some people hadn't ever been to the beach before then.

[She smiles before turning off the feed.]

Keiichi, Satoko, and I are going to go pick up Hanyuu in Mahogany. We will be leaving early tomorrow morning. Please have fun while we're gone. Nipaa✰

It's all right, Furude. I've spoken to Hanyuu, so I understand.

You have?

Yes, I did. She seems very kind.

She is, even though she's very timid.

Yes, I noticed that myself. It does seem as though she can use some confidence.

For as long as I've known her, she's been shy like that. Maybe being here will help her.

Johto often serves as a learning experience for many people. I sincerely hope it does help.

It does. I know that I've learned many things here, at least.

I do too. I may have to push her along the way, though.
