[The camera rattles a bit as Yuuna adjusts it, though the first visible thing is a screenful of glittering ice that gradually pans out to show a Pokemon's face. It wobbles a bit more, and then there's Yuuna, standing in the shadow of this gigantic creature. She's grinning ear to ear, but there's a hint of embarrassment in her voice when she speaks up.]

So...my Bergmite evolved. I didn't know he was going to get so big, though, and while he's certainly an impressive sight I was sort of wondering if anyone had advice for caring for a Pokemon this large.

[She reaches up, running a hand along it's cheek, the big guy replying with a somewhat subdued Luuugggg.]

I mean, I don't think it'll be difficult since Hyozan's a real sweetie, but he seems to be having trouble adjusting to his new size. He was pretty bad about crashing into stuff before, but that was when he was little. Now he's...well...clearly not so small, and I don't want him hurting anyone on accident. So, uh, suggestions would be great.

[She looks up at the big guy one more time, smiling with obvious affection. He may be an enormous ice block with eyes, and a hazard when he's not careful, but he's still a valued friend. After another moment, her gaze snaps back to the camera and she adds.]

Oh and this is sort of related. My Hariyama Hiroshi evolved too, and I don't want him to feel left out, so I thought I'd share. He's kinda been grouchy and jealous since he's kind of literally is overshadowed by Hyozan, so if you happen to run into us could you do me a favor and congratulate him? I think he'd appreciate it.

Anywho...yeah, I think that's about it. If anyone needs me, I think we'll be down by the lake resting and getting ready for most of the day. Then we're heading towards Citadel.

[With a wave, the feed closes down.]

Action

[Early in the day, anyone outside Union could hardly fail to miss the stomping sound of feet as a walking iceberg meanders by, a heavy duty blanket laid out over it's back. Atop the creature is Yuuna and the vast majority of her team, though a Hariyama and Hitmonchan are running along beside it, racing or training or something.

And as the afternoon hits, completely true to her word, Yuuna and her team are down by the lake shrine, just sort of hanging out. The human herself is laying out in the sun, head resting in her arms as she looks up at the sky, while her glacial titan has taken to Lillipup-Paddling around the lake, several unfortunate Magikarp caught in the wake he leaves behind. Zedd seems to have broken it's habit of orbiting it's trainer, but the Magneton is not too far off juggling several small steel balls by spinning magnetic appendages around it's body.

The green-eyed Hariyama is off in the shade, practicing it's hand-slaps against a boulder, while the rest of her Pokemon are scampering around playing. A little Larvitar seems to be chasing the newest member of the group, a small Golett, around the lake shore but who can say really? The ghost-type may just be humoring him. Gouken the Hitmonchan punches a bag held up by a Poliwhirl, though, a serious expression on his face. He's not good at laying off from training at all and never has been.

A relaxing day, really, and one she wouldn't mind sharing with other humans.]

Goku doesn't need to be told twice. Shaking off as much snow as he can, he moves quickly so he doesn't get pelted again. He can see the culprit to the snowball to his head, and starts letting snowballs fly as fast as he can, speed picking up dramatically. If he's going to use some muscle, so will Goku!

"Hah! Take this! Heheheheheheheeeee!"

He takes his lumps as well as anyone there, and returns fire! It's starting to get a bit heated on his end though, and that's when Yuuna decides it's time to end it.

Through the warp band, Uzushio the Poliwhirl gets a silent command to make some mischief...and he begins to dance.

The sky immediately begins to turn black...and all that snow? Is washed away by freezing cold rain!

"Yaaaah!" That's cold rain, and now he's really cold even as the snow is washed off of him. Now he's wet...

"Well, looks like the fun's over, huh?" He looks over to the pokemon he was snow battling with. Guess they'll just have to wait for next time to finish their little snow fight.

With a devilish grin, Yuuna waves her hand and calls off Poliwhirl, the rain subsiding as she hops off Hyozan and lands on the beach.

"Well if you're cold, the water is warm enough for a good swim."

Except? It really, really isn't. The Avalugg in the lake had cooled it just a bit, putting it just below her own personal comfort-level anyway.

"Oh man, make way!" He's taking Yuuna's word for it, and he jumps right in with a splash.

"WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! This water's FREEZING!!!!"

Jumping back out of it with arms huddled around him, teeth chattering, he runs back onto the shore.

Yuuna cackles, falling down onto her butt she's laughing so hard. Totally got you, Goku! So, totally got you! A prank in revenge for the insult maybe? Or is it just a regular prank!

"Haha! You...the...haha, the look on your face! I can't believe you...snerk...fell for that one!"

"You said it was warm!" He whines, feeling like a fool that he'd been tricked. Poor Goku, look at him shiver!

"That's the joke, silly!" she laughs and tosses him a dry towel and a sack with of a spare martial arts uniform. It's meant for Hitmonchan, but it should be about the right size. "Go over behind that rock and dry off a bit and get changed, goof."

Catching the items, he books it right behind the rock. Clothes fly up everywhere as he rips them off, and starts drying himself off. Soon, he walks out in the spare clothes, tying the belt as he walks out.

"Well, I can't say these don't look pretty sharp!" Not too tight in the shoulders, and not giving him a wedgie, so that's good. "I like the colors too. Mind if I keep this?"

"I don't mind at all. Master Yashio would not mind more advertising, either." Yuuna laughs. They really were about the right size, too, which was somewhat unsurprising. "You should stop by sometime."

"Yeah? You think that'd be alright? I'd love to." He certainly wouldn't mind getting to know some other fighters too. He'd like to spar them sometime.

"Yeah. He taught me, and I help run his dojo when I'm in town."

Wow. Maybe you and I should go at it one day. [One track mind.] You know how I like a challenge!

Maybe someday. But I have a feeling you want to get back at Gouken first.

I sure would like a rematch against him. See if I measure up. But that'll have to wait too, with all that business out in the plains. Afterward, can Gouken and I have that match?

Yeah, of course. As if I could stop him, anyway.

[She'll totally wink at her Pokemon, who pumps a fist.]

But, fair warning? He's gotten a lot stronger than before. More than any of my others, without a doubt. Blue's taught him a new trick, and he's been so...pushy...about fighting that Uzushio and Kyo just haven't been getting as much practice in.

Well, when you wanna train, you gotta get as much in as you can! [He doesn't blame Gouken at all. Training is important.]

Maybe if you let him train on his own for a bit, the other two can get some practice in themselves. It's important for them to get stronger too.

Actually, what I think's going to happen is I'm going to force him to take a week in the back row. Make him teach, like I do. That's probably the best way to get him to fight smarter, not harder.
