[The feed fizzles on to show a crowded mass of people, in what might look like a hallway of a department store to those who's never seen it before. A beat later and Anissa turns the video to smile at the viewers.]

Hello! I've just arrived in Goldenrod, and I planned to go down to the subway to find a ride to the Pokémon Center. But it turns out this is an underground shopping district. It's amazing how like the stands back home they are- the ones we put up during festivals!

I haven't managed to explore the products very much yet, but I still wanted to encourage any visitors to Goldenrod to take a look. It's quite a sight! And...

[She trails off as she passes a stand displaying a bunch of plants out for sale. Glancing over it, she covers the feed speaker a moment to question the elderly seller, then turned back to the screen.]

Excuse me, but this woman has something to share about this world's herbal remedies! I'll be happy to share anything else I see here later, if you contact me.

Perhaps boiling it in a soup may help? I've never tried it, though.

I find them in the wild, particularly the grasslands or the forests. I'm fortunate that this world produces many of the plants that grow in my world.

That may well do it- Or perhaps a tea, mixed with something for taste.

I heard there is a forest far south of Goldenrod, actually. Have you ever visited?

Oh, I've never thought about using tea either. I will have to try it someday.

Yes, I have. I lived in Goldenrod for quite some time before I decided to travel back to Azalea for the badge. You will find plenty of herbs there.

That's perfect! Then that settles it right there- that forest shall be my next goal.

Just be sure to bring a few antidotes or full heals in case you and your Pokemon are attacked by poison-types.

My name is Wang Yao, by the way. [He bows his head.]

Oh, and I'm Anissa! Nice to meet you! [Have an answer bow.]

And thank you- I sometimes forget to mind that, since most of my team are resistant to poison. But now that I'm raising a few non-grass-types, I must remember to bring supplies more.

I see grass-types are your favorite, aru. You also seem to be familiar with different types of herbs. [He's the same.]

That's right! I liked to gather herbs for a little extra work back home.

Are you fond of both of them, too? Grass-types and herbs?

Well, I do have a few grass-types, but Pokemon wise I find dragon-types to be my favorite. However, I do have a vast knowledge of herbs as well as ancient Chinese medical techniques.

Oh my, that's quite a nice range- In types as well as medicinal topics.

Does that mean you're a healer?

You could say that. I am definitely not a doctor, though. Even so, it was enough knowledge to help me care for my siblings whenever they fell ill.

-actually that's something else I can just relate to, since I sometimes used the medicine the clinic made from my herbs for my brother and family.

I thought you might be doing something like that.

My name is Wang Yao, by the way.

It's nice to meet you, Wang Yao- I'm Anissa.

Pleased to meet you, Anissa. If we are ever in the same city, we should have some tea together.

Most definitely.

You know where I am now- but I'll try to keep you informed!

Same here. I'm currently in Azalea to challenge the gym leader, so hopefully it will not take me too long to earn the badge.

Azalea- is that the town beyond Ilex Forest?

It is. Sometimes I like to go into the forest and play my bamboo flute there.

Oh! That sounds lovely. Does it attract any Pokémon?
