[The video feed turns on with a clatter as Rika's PokéGear falls onto the floor. All that's visible is Rika's hand hanging over the edge of the bed. There's silence for a few moments as everything in the room stays still until suddenly there's the sound of a frantic pokémon.]

Vee! Vee! [At that moment, Rika's hand moves out of view of the Gear.]

Prince? Are you all right? [There's fumbling around for the Gear until Rika manages to reach over the side of the bed and pick it up. She has a worried look on her face despite the fact that she's hugging her Eevee.]

What's going on? How long have I been asleep?

They're probably sent a special training camp just after they hatch.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

That would make sense. I wonder where it's located.

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

The same place as wherever they all came from in the first place, I imagine.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

... Mii. I know that.

I wonder if it's in a forest.

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

They are bug-types. They probably like forests.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

They probably have a training ground somewhere in a clearing.

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

With ninja training dummies and obstacle courses set up all over it.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

[She nods.] I wonder if they would learn how to use weapons.

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

Do you think they could even hold them? They don't really look like they have arms...

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

They could hold the weapons with their teeth.

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

Hm, they could. I'm not sure they could get very much power behind them that way, though.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I bet they could find a way though. Or they could set up traps instead of using weapons.

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, they would probably be excellent with traps. To hold people in place to take their souls.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Mii... Yes. I'm glad they don't know how to make them yet. Otherwise, many more people would have gotten their souls taken.

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Though you do have to wonder what they want them for.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's the way they gain nutrients. Or, they may be interested in what the human soul contains.

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

So you think they're performing a study, of a sort?

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I can't think of any other reason for why they would take souls.

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

Interesting. I wonder what it is they're curious about, then.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Maybe they're curious about how different souls are from one another.

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. That might explain the strange dream world we were all in. Some sort of testing device.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

They probably wanted to see what sort of things we would dream about.

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

They must have gotten some interesting samples, then, if the ones I saw were any indication.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Yes. Some dreams were scary, or a place they remembered while others were just strange.

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

Mine was definitely in that last category. I wonder what they made of it.

...What was yours like?
