Hey! It's Yumi-san, right? I was just wondering how everything's going with you guys, now that Naruto-kun and Shino-kun are out. They've been training my Pokémon well, right?
If I was you, I would've gave my pokemon to Shino too. Especially after what happened.
[She loves the guy but seriously after that whole jail fiasco, he went down on the trust list.]
Well you see, a "friend" of mine happened to have been attacked by this purple cat while she was in Saffron last week and she had to catch it because the idea of using her pokemon kind of left her brain at the time. She eventually thought giving it to Naruto was a good idea after what happened. Kind of like payback, you know?
Yeah, something in the rules about not stabbing rampaging level ninety-some Machamps in the eye.
But anyway, the only purple cat I've ever seen is a Purrloin. Mine evolved not too long ago, lemme try t'find her...
[Whoops, she abandons the 'gear, revealing a baby Riolu and Oshawott that had been sitting behind her, both of whom make a race for the abandoned 'gear. Hello, small person on the screen!]
[Yumi was eyeing the two baby pokemon when she noticed one of them was an Oshawott.]
Say, you're an otter like Ulrich here. [She turns the pokegear to her side, revealing an Oshawott and a Cleffa that were apparently bonding with each other.] Hey Ulrich, look its your double here!
[While Hopper was waving the the duo, Ulrich looked away, not really willing to greet the new faces.]
[The Oshawott lets out a soft chittering sound of delight and grabs the 'gear in both paws. Have a giant Oshawott face until Tenten comes back!]
Senko! [Senko is nudged away by Tenten's foot, finally revealing the Riolu again peeking curiously over her shoulder, quickly replaced by Tenten grabbing the 'gear and turning it to show her three-foot-high Liepard.]
This's Jaju! Nii-san named her for me, but I can't remember what it means in Korean.
[The sight of the Liepard kind of threw Yumi off a bit before her Cleffa thought it was a good idea to jump into Yumi's lap, causing and 'Oof!' to come out of her mouth.] Hopper, stay.
That's an impressive cat I gotta say, haha... [Not awkward at all.] By Nii-san, did you mean Joonhae?
[Senko seems perfectly willing to be eyed, settling comfortably in Tenten's lap and lazily batting at the Liepard's tail. Her Riolu snuggles in close beneath her hand, letting out a small growl/bark of contentment.]
He's a great guy, I was really lucky to meet someone like him. Even if he is kind of a sissy when it comes to workouts.
[She paused herself, then shrugged.]
Nah. Or, well, maybe I did, but I never knew them. I had my teammates, though. They were all the family I ever needed.
[He's not going to bother with the formalities. And by formalities, I mean turning on the video without speaking for extended periods of time like a creeper.]
Yumi... have you happened to find something akin to a silver ticket?
[RAINING DOWN IN POKEBALLS FROM THE SKY is what he doesn't add to the end.]
[Hopper was watching the scene with content while Ulrich grew strangely jealous of the interactions with their trainer. Being a little grumpy pants, the Oshawott waddled to go sulk somewhere else, catching Yumi's attention. Yumi frowned and motioned the Cleffa to go after him, which Hopper happily agreed to.]
Hm...workouts you say? How intense would you say they were?
[Yumi gave a smile as she thought of her own friends back home. It gave her a warm feeling....that eventually became a sad feeling of nostalgia.]
[Yumi was off reading the Trainer Handbook like the big dork she is when she got the message. She set the book aside to talk to the shady man.]
If you're talking about the ones in those pokeballs, yeah. Ulrich came across one when we were out earlier and we thought someone dropped a spare ball or pokemon behind before we opened it.
[She's had to follow Naruto and himself around on a while goose chase for Sasuke ever since arriving here, and not once has she complained about it. (Being frustrated at them/Naruto doesn't count. He'd be too.) Shino feels like he owes it to her, at least.
Honestly? Not really. It feels kind of too soon, especially we've been here since the beginning of the month. [Not mention it means actually SOCIALIZING with strangers.]
If Naruto comes to find out, then there will be no question that he will want to go.
[Since arriving back in Celadon, Naruto appears to be more determined to improve and get stronger. But this provides an opportunity to meet up with the other ninja, including Sasuke. Of course he'll say yes.]
I am asking whether you, personally, would like to attend... not out of regard for the safety of Naruto or myself.
