Hey everybody! It's time for the Weekly Update With Yang Xiao Long, the best hostess EVER!

[Yes, it's that time again. Yang appears on the screen, jumping into the video feed and throwing her arms out wide. Her Misdreavus and Eevee are snooping behind her, curiously, but staying out of the production otherwise. Yang grins, then raises one finger, leaning towards the broadcast.]

I promised last time to give you a life saving tip about not slipping and falling to your death on icy walking bridges! So, get ready...

[Yang grins.]

...use the handrails!

[She nods.]

A-a-a-a-anyways, so like, this week Union's had some honored guests named Team Evolution. We're gonna call them TeVo for short. TeVo's been really nice, except for the whole misunderstanding with machines that kind of made earthquakes that kiiiind of could kill us all. And there's a tournament going on, to show them what we can do and make amends!

While the Council talks about giving them earthquake-causing machines back. Yeah.

[She shrugs.]

The tournament's going! Yours truly was knocked out, but our show endorses Feliks SHUT UP MILLER, I KNOW HE HAS A LAST NAME! [the last is addressed at her Eevee, who sighs] because he beat me and I'm not gonna be shamed by losing to someone who doesn't win! So go get them, Feliks! Show these guys who's boss!

Next week we have a special guest star so special that I don't know who it is yet!

Not anymore, because I just won!

[...ahem]

What were you saying, anyways?

[Okay, now he's resisting the urge to facepalm.]

Um...just that a few things in that broadcast made me stop and stare.

I know, I know, I raised so many insightful and good points.

...But one was an anticlimax. And then the whole "TeVo" thing...

Nicknames are awesome.

Um. But that depends. And what about when they aren't appropriate?

TeVo is totally appropriate. It's a convenient shortening of their name.

I dunno. It sounds a bit more like some kind of technology-based service to me. Like, maybe video recording or something.

What? That's weird. Who'd do that?

[Yang: not an innovator.]

No, really, think about it! You could record videos of things to show later in case someone missed it. They could be kept around, like how we keep text around and look back on it later.

I dunno. Like, what would we record? I don't follow...

Anything! Messages, things going on in the wild, school lessons, news. Anything.

...huh. I guess I can see it getting popular, especially if people make like really funny shows. Or songs and concerts and stuff!

Yeah, stuff like that would work, too. See? It's got all kinds of uses, right?

Someone who's good with this kinda stuff will make a fortune off this idea!

...They could. Unfortunately, that's not me. Dad and Vargas, maybe, but I'm only so good with technology. And Dad wouldn't need to, either.

[Better than average, but no engineer.]

Aw, that's no good.

[She shakes her head, while she thinks about it.]

Maybe my sister could, but I don't think video stuff is her speed... oh, wait, I bet Jeffy could! Jeffy is so smart, you don't even know.

Jeffy? Who's this Jeffy you're talking about?

My pal, Jeffy! [Yang has spoken to him all of once and told him that his inventions were great for evaluating guys' cuteness.] He's going to make these things broadcast in color.

Wait, seriously?

[You now have Asemu's undivided attention.]

We've already got someone making these broadcasts color? But we only just made video a few weeks ago!

Jeffy's working on it. We gotta give him time!

I should talk to him myself. Maybe there's something I could do. I'm not an engineer, but I'm better than most people when it comes to machines.

Just tell him that his pal Yang sent you, and you're in like Blaziken!

[Wow, that was horrible.]

Uh, sure. If you're sure.

It'll be fiiiiiine.
