So it's that time of the month already, huh? Man, how time flies by. Seems like it was just a couple months ago we had new people showin' up, and now it's happening again! [A bit of crude humor on his part, as anyone who's been in Luceti for any decent length of time knows how often the New Feather cycles are.]

Aaaaanyway, I've got a bit of an announcement to make. [The feed shows a shot of him scratching his cheek as he ponders this announcement he's about to give.]

As I'm sure most of you remember, Hiccup went home some time ago, and he left behind a Pokémon I'd given him. [He shifts the camera to get a shot of Kyle, the three foot tall Fraxure.] I've been watchin' her for a while, but I'm thinkin' it's about time she found a new home--and a new trainer.

So! That's where you all come in! I'm lookin' for someone who'd seriously consider wantin' to be a Pokémon Trainer and be willing to keep raisin' ol' Kyle here. Any potential applicants'll be interviewed and schooled on what it takes, but only one'll get picked in the end! So who's it gonna be? One of you? Only one way to find out, right?

[The feed doesn't end there, though. The normal person would elect to set up a filter of some sort for this next part.

...Gold is not a normal person. Or maybe he's trying to draw attention to this part that should be a private thing. Who knows?]

Hey Crys, I believe I asked you a question some time ago. I'm still waitin' for you to give me a real answer there! So what's it gonna be?

[Don't mind Gold as he switches his journal over to voice. He doesn't have the time to bother with writing.]

She needs a partner to raise her well so she can be strong, of course!

[She'll keep writing because all he'd hear if she switched too... would be chirps and whistles and possibly hisses, clicks, or snorts.]

Is strength her goal, or yours?

Strength comes in all forms, y'know. What kind of strength she gets, well... That's up to her and her partner.

[That... is actually a much better answer than Kitten was expecting, and so she switches to video for a moment, giving Gold a view of a sky-blue dragon. She chirps thoughtfully before she goes back to writing.]

You can see why I am apprehensive about the idea of a dragon needing to be trained. Taught, perhaps, but I am always wary of humans who think me a pet or a tool. [She's met enough of them, after all.]

[...Holy crap that was a dragon. Like, a real dragon. Like, one of the ones Hiccup worked with.]

Some people do keep Pokémon as pets, and some do think of them as just "tools". That's true about people everywhere.

But... There's also those of us who see them as our friends, our partners, and only by walking with them side by side can we truly grow!

In my world as well. My adoptive family is wonderful, of course, but I have also been treated as a monster or a dumb beast.

Yours is a much better attitude.

What exactly is a Pokemon, though?

Well, I guess Pokémon aren't too far off from what people from other worlds call "animals". 'Cept for the fact they're way cooler, that is!

I would like to meet some of them. I wonder if I could understand their speech. I understand animals just fine. At home, that is, not just here.

Maybe? Yellow seems to understand 'em, after all.

Who is Yellow?

She's a friend of mine, with the ability to understand the hearts of Pokémon!

My adoptive mother can understand the speech of animals, but not my speech. I wonder if Yellow could understand me, or if my language is too different.
