[Video;]

[With all the drama that had gone on with the invasion and other things Ruby really didn't understand, he hadn't wanted to make an introductory post on the Warp Band Network until it had calmed down a little. He hadn't wanted to seem insensitive... but mostly, he didn't want his Pokemon to be over looked. They were too good looking for that, and he hoped to introduce them all especially with the new additions. So The video feed opens to a young boy about eleven or so years old with glasses sliding down his nose while he configures the settings. They're quickly taken off (don't want to look like a nerd) before he shuffles back a little with a sweeping gesture. He's in some kind of small room from the look of it.]

Hello, Union! My name's Ruby, and I'm here to show you the new up and coming Pokemon Contest Champions! They're in prime, adorable condition!

[He tilts the camera down to show a Buneary, Ralts, Skitty, and Budew posing in what look like hand crafted outfits and hats. Ruby's knitted them himself and sewed the clothing with careful hands. They're good quality, perhaps not at a professional tailor level but certainly created with love and talent.]

I only wish you didn't have to see them in black and white! Introducing Nene the Buneary, Ruru the Ralts, Coco the Skitty, and Dede the Budew! Coco and Ruru have already won Cute and Smart in the Normal Rank contests! ....I know they're not very popular in Union yet, but they'll be super stars soon!

I made their outfits all on my own; I know you're impressed so we could work something out if you're interested in a fitting for your own Pokemon! I can also offer grooming and advice for Pokeblocks, Poffins, and Pokepuffs! Don't hesitate! I could really use the money.

[Ruby can later be found outside in Union with the Pokemon he introduced over the video, plus one Sewaddle dolled up in her own decorative leaf bonnet and a cute cotton neck ruffle with polka dots. She'd helped sew it herself, the reason Ruby had bonded with her in the first place. He's not sure a Bug Type has a place in contests, but her sewing skills were more than enough to put her on his team. He hadn't introduced her on the video because she wasn't ready for contests, and didn't know how to properly pose... Luckily Budew and Buneary seemed to get it naturally, so Ruby had high hopes. Leading the well groomed Pokemon into the park, the boy sat down at one of the picnic tables and set them up on the surface of the table. Opening his backpack, he pulled out a grooming kit and started to nitpick at them, clipping a lock of fur here, shining a petal there. He's very particular about how they look, and wants to make sure they're looking just fine if they'll be out practicing their routines...]

There we go, good girl Nene.

[He smooths out one of the Buneary's ears and she blushes a little, shy for her trainer. Then she hops down onto the grass so Coco can get her turn.]

Hey! Don't run off, you can't get your fur grass stained!

[When Ruby sees the Sylveon... well, any kind of composure goes out the window. Right away, he gets down off the bench to admire him, clasping his hands in awe, a literal sparkle in his eyes.]

You're so CUTE! Oh my gosh, you're perfect! You're everything that adorable represents! Your fur looks so soft and shiny, and your bows...

[He rambles on about Sora's adorableness, completely oblivious to Roxas approaching. His Buneary notices though, jealous of the Sylveon's sudden attention, and hops over to see him, twirling a little in her handmade skirt to show it off.]

{Hey cutie pie! Don't mind him, he's gaga over all sorts of sugary things, like me for instance!}

[meguriau]

[ It's a good thing that Sora like attention! But wow he's never gotten this much attention and compliments about how adorable he is this is very new to him. But it makes him flick his feelers happily because this means they can become friends right??

Meanwhile Roxas had finished walking up to the group and looks down at the Buneary. He doesn't say anything but that's because Lulu hops in front, pink shades and all, to respond to the Buneary. ]

{ Sugary things? Bleh. Cool thinks are so much better! }

[sewingbox]

{They're not! Sugar sweet is the best!}

[Nene will continue to argue this while Ruby looks up from Sora briefly to wave at Roxas.]

Is this Pokemon yours? He's absolutely perfect!

[meguriau]

{Nu-uh! Cool is the best!}

[ Yeaah... Roxas is just going to let those two argue and talk to Ruby instead. ]

Y-Yeah... His name is Sora. [ Pause ] What do you mean by 'perfect'?

[sewingbox]

He's beautiful and cute! He radiates it, he has a flawless coat and color, and the shiniest guys... You don't battle with him, do you?

[He asks that like battling with the Sylveon would be treasonous.]

[meguriau]

[ Oh.

Well.

Roxas rubs the back of his head. ]

Not ... until recently.

[ Before like last week when he want Intensive Training with Blue only when it was necessary would Sora battle. Mainly because Roxas was busy being a zombie and getting him out of that state was more important. ]
