[Gou comes on screen, and her Plusle's hanging out on her shoulder. Looks like he's catching a nap.]

Hey, what level should these guys be before trying to take on a gym? There's one in Violet, right? We're -- uh, Makoto-senpai and me -- are heading that way, and it seems like it'd be really fun to do!

[She glances over at the Plusle, still napping.]

Oh, and what kind of nickname would you give a Pidgey? She's in her pokeball right now, but I can't seem to think of anything good right now. There's a lotta pressure, I mean, I'm gonna be calling it that every battle from now on...

I mean, I guess they could go without one, but... it seems a little easier to have nicknames, especially if I might end up with doubles or triples of the same type.

Uh, I think that's everything... [The red pikachu (yeah, she's still internally calling it that sometimes) shifts a bit, rubbing the electric pouhcy bit riiight across her shoulder-- meaning, shock time.] Ow! Jeez, watch it, Piccolo! [She binks him in the forehead.] That's for other pokemon, not me--

[Video over.]

You're going to take the gym challenge?

[Why would you do that. Veronica is all kinds of confused.]

[Video]

[fishybarrettes]

Uh huh! Unless... is there a reason I shouldn't? Besides it being really hard, I mean.

[Video]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Oh, no, you can do it if you want to.

[She looks... confused herself.]

I guess, it's strange seeing people doing what we were brought here for apparently.

[Video]

[fishybarrettes]

Wait, we were brought here just to win the badges?! What happens when we do, do we get to go home?

[Video]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[She gives a shrug.] I don't think we were brought here just for that, but it seems to be the main motive.

...I don't know.

[Video]

[fishybarrettes]

Pfft, if they want badges that bad, they should just earn them themselves!

[stitchedupbodyguard]

What if they don't have Pokémon?

sorry i missed this one, too!

[fishybarrettes]

It can't be that hard to catch one, right?

it's all good!

[stitchedupbodyguard]

I guess that's true.

[Punch one out and put it in a ball.

Easy, right?]

[fishybarrettes]

And once you get started with it, it's gotta be easier every time!

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Anyone can be a trainer, if you do that.

[fishybarrettes]

Isn't that kinda the idea?

[stitchedupbodyguard]

...Yeah.

[Hmm...]
