[004G - Video]
[A hand lifts and she adjusts the video feed to offer a closer look at her. Her expression is a tad thoughtful with perhaps a little concern lying beneath the surface.]
Hello.
[She waves a little. This is the first time she's using video. Evidently this is a big deal for her.]
I understand that tensions are running a bit high at the moment, so I thought it might be appropriate to offer a bit of a distraction. Don't worry; I've not started anything yet. This is more or less gauging the response of the public to see if there's an interest or lack of interest in an idea.
I'm from a town called Lilycove. It's well-known in Hoenn for being the centre of Pokémon contests. I've noticed we don't have anything like this in the academy or in Final Destination. I'm aware we have quite the variety of people here and I thought perhaps there might be some intrigue in having a contest hall right here. It'd certainly make things easier on those who don't wish to return to their regions due to inconvenience.
For those unfamiliar with the term, back home the contests are used to display a Pokémon's particular abilities based on efficiency and aesthetic. It would be a bit unfair for me to limit to Pokémon, however, and I want everyone to feel like they're welcome to participate as well. I'm still working on how I'd like to do that, aside from talent competitions. Such as a 'come and show us everything you have'.
Winners get ribbons of their accomplishments and there are all kinds of ribbons, too. They look like... [For demonstrative purposes, she reaches past the camera feed and draws back a plaque of ribbons.] ...this! Aren't they cute? And there are all different kinds.
I'd really like some of your guys' thoughts on the idea, perhaps suggestions, or things you'd like to see or experience. I'm rather well-versed in the world of contests, so I'd really love to have a hand in making it come to life. I just think this would be a really great way to add something to the community and make it more welcoming.

[She gives Gold a bit of a sly smile.] When do you intend to make a trip back to Johto?
I was considering visiting Hoenn soon to pick some flowers and bring them back, or perhaps get some flower seeds. Vinnie was talking about how flowers and pollen made him think of spring and he suggested it as a contest theme.

[And he pauses, thinking...]
I dunno. I'll probably go see my Mom on my birthday! And I'll probably visit for a little longer over the Summer, if you want to come then! I'll take you to all the best cities and show you where I grew up..!

[Now he's got her thinking.]
I think I would very much enjoy the trip. If it's not too much trouble for you, I mean. I wouldn't wish to be any sort of trouble, of course.
