[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.]

Oh. Well, in that case that little Pokémon you have will be just fine, once it's on high enough level.

Yes, I hope so! Extra training never hurts, either!

Yeah, training's always a good idea. That and maybe a backup plan with other suitable types against flying ones... rock or ice, maybe?

It looks like there's a few caves not too far from Violet City, so I'll probably check them out!

That sounds like a good plan. I'm sure you'll find good partners there, too.
