Anissa

[The screen fizzles on to show Anissa, straightening some things on a table top. There's a Chikorita right in the shot at her feet, curiously watching whatever she's up to. But she doesn't mind its shadowing for the moment. Instead she turns about and smiles into the gear.

Or rather through it.]

Oh, did you figure out the controls there, Jake? Perfect! -and hello... I had a few things to bring up, so I'm sorry if this a bit of a barrage, but here we go.

I've been staying here in Goldenrod still, with Sisuca, and I'm happy to say things are going splendidly and the repairs in the city are coming along! And on a more personal note, I've added this little fellow- [She leans down and pats the Chikorita on his leaf top, making him fidget awkwardly and creep under the table.] -to my team, along with Miss Lily.

[She points to the left, leading the camera-mon to show a Lilligant, frowning quite confused down at her smaller Petilil cousin. Colleen for her part is trying to chat with Lily over something, but its muffled even to any viewing pokeys by Anissa's commentary.]

I'm afraid she joins us on account of Rinoa, and is still a little dazed... But I'm certainly happy to have her with us!

But, on another note... I have a question for everyone at large. [She waves the screen over to the table, and picks up one of many small baskets to show off dozens of Raust Berries.]

I've been collecting any berries or apricorns I've come across on my travels, and I planned to find some place to try and plant them, to see how they grow and if I could sort of mimic my family business here. But I can't imagine stopping my travels quite yet, and these are starting to add up, so... Does anyone have some advice on what I might do with them, for the time being?

[The screen switches on to show Anissa, smiling nice and proud for the onlookers. And yet when she speaks up she sounds rushed.]

Hello! I just wanted to show my progress with my Budew! And since she's found such a tough little Caterpie, we've decided to try and catch it! Just a little more now...

Okay, Ruth! Absorb!

[Here you go, watchers. One tiny little bud is fighting a bug that actually dwarfs her in size. But indeed, the health-sapping attack helps bring the Caterpie down to a struggling faint, and the Gear swerves a bit as Anissa apparently throws her pokéball-

Just as a loud noise comes from behind her, and this drifts right into sight.]


-what?!

[Too late, the pokéball grabs the wrong target, and against the odds (or, with the help of a willing victim) the capture is made.

Enjoy the silence of shocked Anissa, confused Budew, and escaping Caterpie, before the feed suddenly cuts out.]
