[The feed flickers on, and at first, not much more can be seen beyond a ball of very creamy fluff with a leaf attached to it. What a way to start a video introduction, what with the Leafeon dipping its head and sniffing at the camera. What a funny contraption, it might think.

From behind it, however, a voice rings out, one that is gentle yet awfully fast.]

Thank you for greeting everyone, Leafeon...! How very kind of you.

[The Pokemon cries out with joy and hops away from the camera, leaving it focused on a very familiar face, one with hazy grey eyes and minty-green hair cascading down his back. His ponytail is notably undone for now, a nearby fan blasting in his direction as he tries to cool off. Despite his clearly weary and scalding condition, he smiles brightly into the camera, hands clapping together.]

Smash Academy! It has been far too long. [He glances off to the side, seeming a bit bashful.] I, ah... I must apologize. I had more of the world to see, and I left rather quickly. I was uncertain that I'd done the disenrollment process properly, as well... [He faces the camera again, looking more uplifted again.] Regardless, the hands have given me a warm welcome, so I suppose I have done nothing wrong. In fact, they have allowed me to increase my grade. It seems I am in college now...!

[He briefly pauses, a hand cupping his chin as he ponders.] Yet, I am not sure how to begin with my major... What does an aspiring Pokemon professor take...? [He shakes his head.] I would think that is not urgent yet. I have to check on my friends! My dear, dear friends...

[He folds his hands neatly on his lap, grinning.] I have missed you all. How are you doing? Are you all still here?

A-Ah-- Bonsly! Calm down...!

[Oh no oh no um.]

Should... I go there?

Re: [video]

[star_punched]

It's okay, N! Really!

[He holds Bonsly closer.]

He does it when he's got a lotta moisture he's tryin' to get rid of.

Re: [video]

[idealisms]

... You have already learned this much about him?

[He didn't even know that!]

Re: [video]

[star_punched]

[Mac is confused.]

Don't I gotta? I mean, I gotta take care of the guy.

Re: [video]

[idealisms]

Why... yes, of course! There are a surprising amount of trainers that simply wouldn't go to those lengths.

... I think you are doing a wonderful job.

Re: [video]

[star_punched]

[Sad face.]

I still don't get that. These guys are your friends.

[You guys are a lot alike. More than maybe you could think.]

Re: [video]

[idealisms]

Indeed.

... No one should think anything less than that. Pokemon are just as empathetic and wonderful as the pleasant humans of this world. They should be treated as such.

Re: [video]

[star_punched]

You know it...

[Before this got gloomy, Rocky sensed this. He jumped in front of the screen. HELLO N! HI!]

Re: [video]

[idealisms]

Bonsly! Er... Rocky! [GOT TO... GET USED TO THAT.]

Are you feeling better now?

Re: [video]

[star_punched]

[Rocky's fine, bro! He just wants to see you, so hi.]

Seems like it! But I think it's someone's meal then nap time.

[MAC DADDY.]

Re: [video]

[idealisms]

Haha...! Rocky, are you hungry? I am sure Mac has many delicious treats for you.

[If not, HE'LL DO IT. HE CAN. HIM HIM.]

Re: [video]

[star_punched]

Or N might too. N probably has tastier treats.

[Rocky just says, I WANT TREATS. So git ova hurr N and see our son Rocky.]

Re: [video]

[idealisms]

I do have some Pokeblocks! I learned how to make them with a kind nurse in a Hoenn Pokemon Center.

[Mm, Pokeblocks. What do you think?]

Re: [video]

[star_punched]

Poke...blocks? They ain't like buildin' block toys?

[Herp derp.]

Re: [video]

[idealisms]

Of course not! They are little, squared, chewy candies for Pokemon to eat. They are said to be very nutritional for them.

[Namely with making a Pokemon's skin shinier and their minds sharper. Good for contests!]

Re: [video]

[star_punched]

So kinda like Starburst for Pokemon?

[TREATS. TREATS.]

I think Rocky approves! Probably good y'bring 'em, I can't cook a thing.

[video -> action]

[idealisms]

Haha- I suppose so! Although, I cannot say I have had a `Starburst`...

That does not matter now. I will bring them momentarily.

[And, soon enough, sure as a whistle...

Knock knock!]

Re: [video -> action]

[star_punched]

[MAC RUSHED TO GET THE DOOR. No need to say anything. Come in buddy.]

Room's all nice n' clean, make yourself at home.

[Not like he needs to tell you that...Been so long they hung out in dorms like this.]

Re: [video -> action]

[idealisms]

Thank you...! Such hospitality!

[Not as if he expected anything less. He stepped inside, eyes wide open and peering for the Pokemon he sought.]

Now, where is the hungry Pokemon...?

Re: [video -> action]

[star_punched]

[He was...UNDER MAC'S BED. SURPRISE. He pops out.]

He likes to do that. You should see 'im with plants, he likes to prank people into thinkin' he's one.

Re: [video -> action]

[idealisms]

I am sure he can fool anyone with his guise.

Rocky! [He walks over and kneels down, Pokeblocks in hand within a small pouch.] I have a gift for you.

[He unravels the ribbon around the top of the bag, and... ta-da!]

These are all for you.

Re: [video -> action]

[star_punched]

He has a few times.

Didn't ya, ya rascal!

["BONSLYYYYY".




And then he tackles the bag and eats it ALLLLLLLLLLL nomnomnomnom. Wow and Mac is shocked.]

And I guess he gets my eating habits?

Re: [video -> action]

[idealisms]

He certainly does!

[Ah, well, he doesn't mind the messy eater. However, N does pull a small wipe from his pocket, reaching its plushness out to pat at Bonsly's little mouth, eliminating any and all food residue.]

What matters is that he is eating at all. He needs his nutrition.

Re: [video -> action]

[star_punched]

I'm gonna make sure he grows up to be the healthiest Sudowoodo.

[Mac got a sense of whimsy from Bonsly eatings.]

Good?

[REAL GOOD. THANK YOU N.]

Re: [video -> action]

[idealisms]

Ah! He loves it very much.

The wonderful aspect about Pokeblocks... [He speaks as he lifts himself from the ground and sits himself on the corner of the bed.] ... is that they taste fantastic, but they have everything a Pokemon needs to grow and be well.
