[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.]



[A few minutes later]

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✰

There's a girl around here who looks like you? I don't think I saw her...

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

She wasn't here for very long. However, you might have seen her, but instead thought it was me.

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

She looks that much like you?

[he doesn't sound too puzzled by this, since there's him and Roxas]

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Yes. She even sounds like me.

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Whoa, so it's like me and Roxas...

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

You have someone like that too?

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

[He nods]

Uh-huh, there's a boy here named Roxas, and people mix us up a lot. We act different, but we look and sound the same.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

It sounds like we are in similar situations.

Although... me and Bernkastel do have somewhat similar personalities.

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Are the two of you related?

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Mii! Sort of.

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Sort of?

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

We aren't family but we are related to each other.

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

How are you related but not? I don't think I understand...

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Mii... maybe I should say we are connected instead.

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Connected, huh...

I wonder if Roxas and I are, too.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

You may be.

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

I'll have to let you know if I find out someday.

[Because clearly he must keep Rika up to date]

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I look forward to hearing about it.

[But of course]

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

[Aw Rika, can't not smile with her around...or onscreen]

So how've you been?

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I've been doing very well. There have been a lot of things for me to do.

How have you been?

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

I've been doing okay. Lightning's teaching me some self-defense, and my team's getting pretty strong.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Mii! That's good to hear.

Are you doing well in learning self defense?

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

I think I'm doing okay so far. Lightning's teaching me to dodge and recover, stuff like that.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

That sounds like fun. Maybe you can teach me self defense once you master it.

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Sure thing! I'd be happy to teach you anything I've learned, Rika.
