[002 - Video]

[ember_celica]

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!

Well, I didn't mean literally. Just, what do you do if something goes wrong and you fall off a cliff ledge or miss a jump?

[ember_celica]

Too much caution's bad for your health!

[second_destiny]

And not enough caution will get you killed!

[ember_celica]

It'll be fiiiiiiiiiine.

[second_destiny]

Not while I'm around! We're not doing stuff like that together!

I could find something with a nice paddle ball and a hug at the end of it, if you want.

[second_destiny]

[Sigh.]

Look, I was talking about Pokémon training. Like, having Pokémon battle each other.

[ember_celica]

Ohhhhhhhh.

[She skips a beat.]

Miller and Hex keep up with me pretty well when I run along cliff ledges, jump across rooftops, and fight at the arena.

[second_destiny]

[Facepalm.]

Battles. Pokémon battles.

[ember_celica]

Oh. Uh, sure. I guess. I usually fight with them, though, you know?

[second_destiny]

Just more reason to practice then, right? If we end up fighting Team Evolution, we might have to let our Pokémon do all of the fighting. Gotta be able to fight in all sorts of conditions, don't you think?

[ember_celica]

Yeah... I guess so. But in a real fight, I'm gonna be right there with them.

[second_destiny]

Yeah. And you never know, we might be able to show each other what we can do out there.

[ember_celica]

Mm-hmm. We'll have to do it, then.

[second_destiny]

So, how does the canyon floor work? I've got lots of Flying-types, so the Ground-types there won't be too effective against them.

[ember_celica]

I can totally handle it.

[second_destiny]

All right! So then let's make this happen soon.

[ember_celica]

You got yourself a deal! Next week, maybe.

[second_destiny]

So, maybe the 5th or the 6th?

[ember_celica]

Sure. Let's call it the fifth.
