Good afternoon, Union! I hope your day thus far has been as productive as possible!

[The intense-looking boy on the Warp Band gives an impassioned salute and moves the camera over to encompass both him and a girl around his age.]

Yes, good afternoon! For those who do not know us, I am Pearl Fey, and this is Kiyotaka Ishimaru.

[The girl in question gives a smile before bowing politely, looking every inch the proper young lady. ]

As I am sure you are all aware, the recent earthquakes in the city have taken a toll on all citizens, some to a harsher degree than others. That’s why we feel it is of the utmost importance to deliver this information to you as promptly as we can!

We of the Kurain School in Ninetails Vale practice meditation as a way to hone our spiritual abilities, but it can have many positive effects even for those who don’t study the spiritual arts! That’s why the two of us have decided to pool our efforts to help anyone in Union who may want to learn how to properly meditate in order to help deal with any stress or negative energies that may be burdening you at this time.

If you are interested in calming your spirit once more, we will be giving an instruction at the Kurain School for both beginners and those with some experience already! We hope that you take this offer into consideration.

As always, stay vigilant!

It's wonderful to see you both willing to help, and with something that is quite useful too. I'm sure you'll have multitudes lining up to learn meditation. [She knows how, and while it's different from Rei's, it is still meditation.]

I wish you both the best of luck.

Your well wishes are greatly appreciated! We won't let you down!

[He definitely hopes her expectations come true. Being able to teach so many people the value of discipline has been a long-time dream of his.]

May I ask who all the teachers for this will be and class sizes?

For now, Fey-kun and I are the only ones who will be instructors in these classes, but rest assured! Any additional applicants for tutors will be seriously considered and potentially taken on! You can only improve with more helping hands by your side, after all!

[He brings his hand up to his chin, rubbing it in what might be a bit of an unconscious reflex.]

As for class sizes...that depends greatly on the interest we garner, of course, but we will endeavor to keep classes relatively small in order to deliver the best education possible unto our eager students!

I am aware that Pearl Fey-san has familial connections regarding the shrine and such matters as meditation. May I ask what experience you have? I don't mean to suggest you are incapable of it, merely I am curious as to the instructors and their abilities. I confess I don't think we've met before... though I do recognize your uniform.

What types of meditation do you offer?

I take no offense to your inquiry! It is merely the mark of a dedicated student to ask about an instructor's qualifications.

[He's proud he's recognizable in the uniform, at least.]

Since around the time I enrolled in Brentwood, I took up the practice of meditating for a short time before I slept in order to cleanse my mind of the worries of the day. That type of meditation I have been practicing for several years now, and it has moved beyond a simple bedtime routine! If you wish, I could also offer slight variations on that model, such as focusing on a specific topic or insight rather than just your breathing.

As for meditation to deepen spiritual awareness and a connection with psychic abilities, that is more Fey-kun's practice, but any difficulty concentrating I would be happy to assist with!

[A Lucario peeks into the frame, and all of a sudden a soothing voice forms in Ami's head.]

Some that you call "Enlightened"...could they perhaps tap into their aura and control it? You folk are more...ah, 'enlightened' on the limitations than I.

Well, a dedicated student is not inaccurate.

[He doesn't realize how accurate that statement is, really.]

I do not require the meditation practice for myself, as I have my own methods. However, should I have patients in need, or students in need, I will be happy to recommend you and Fey-san. [After Rei, but she's a tiny bit biased on Rei.] I am glad to hear you have such thorough practice in meditation regarding clarity and calming the body and mind.

[At the sight of the Lucario, she brightens up. Ami is always fond of pokemon.]

As an Enlightened myself, it is certainly within reason, given enough testing and practice. It is something to investigate, certainly.

[Someone pleased by his dedication! That alone spread a grin across his face, and he was about to thank her, when...

Huh?]

Eh? I regret disappointing you, but I am not...

Fear not, my friend. She was responding to me.

Ah, I see!

[Ishimaru looks even more excited now, nuzzling his head.]

You can communicate over such long distances, Kuroda-kun! It is truly remarkable!

T...Thank you.

[The Lucario's voice wavers as though it is embarrassed, then turns its thoughts exclusively to Ami.]

In any case...thank you for such pertinent information. Should I find any such people, it shall be of your merit.

[He bows, and Ishimaru takes it as a signal to bow as well.]

[She giggles at the Lucario's reaction to the praise. It's sweet.]

Not at all, I am happy to provide, Kuroda-san. As a medic and researcher I work closely with both people and pokemon, which includes the Enlightened. [Her work with the Enhanced is not something to share.]

If you have any need for assistance or require more information, both of you, please let me know.
