[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!

I want a Pikachu! They look so awesome. And they're my color. If you ever breed one, let me know.

[She grins widely again.]

How's Piper taking to the new partners?

[notthatjason]

I think Bolt needs to settle in a bit first before I try breeding him. But, sure, I'll let you know.

[He smirks, moving on to teasing her.]

Of course, you could always try it the hard way and go searching for hours like I did.

[Jason considers that question seriously.]

I'm not sure she likes Bolt much yet. It might be the whole Electric thing. She actually seems to enjoy having another bird around though. They kept flying circles around my room when they were over here, before I dropped them off at the Habitat for a bit anyway.

[ember_celica]

Hey, I might. I really want one, y'know. But... if you do breed him, dibs!

[She nods, seriously.]

Give her time, I think. Sometimes they need awhile to realize the other's cool. It's like people, you know? They need that extra time to realize everything's gonna be all right.

[notthatjason]

You got it, Yang.

[He'll need to make sure Bolt it okay with it first. He doesn't want to force the poor Pokemon into breeding if he's not ready yet. Bolt is still new after all and Jason wants to make sure he's settled first. Honestly, he should probably also do some more reading up on Pokemon breeding so he knows what to expect.]

Yeah, Piper's been my only Pokemon for so long now...but I'm confident she'll come around.

[ember_celica]

Yeah, man. They just need time, you know? It's different for them, too. But they really do adjust after awhile!

[notthatjason]

I believe you. I'll give you a progress report soon.

Which reminds me. Any particular time you want to set up that battle?

[ember_celica]

How about next week sometime? Plenty of time to get ready!

[notthatjason]

Sounds like a plan then.
