♥ 004 [ video ]

[ Rinoa, bright-eyed, is sitting in her hotel room. There's a Growlithe curled up on her lap, relaxed, and an egg in the background. ]

Guess what? [ She waits a second or two—presumably for guessing--before continuing. ]

I got a job! I've been working at the PokeCenter for a day or two now, helping out with the patients.

It's not bad, and I want to save up some money, just in case!

[ She smiles at the camera, and then looks over her shoulder casually at the egg. ]

I've also got a new member of my team on the way! I'm going to name him Watts, when he comes—

[ As if on cue, the egg starts shaking and cracking slightly. She gasps and picks up the 'Gear, spinning it around so that the hatching egg is in focus. And then— ]

Char!

Aww, look at you, little guy! I think Watts is the perfect name for you~

Char Charmander! [ ...If you can understand Pokemon? The newly-Christened Watts is trying to explain that she's a girl, kthx. Rinoa just thinks "he's" saying hi. ]

He's saying hi!

[ "No, I'm saying that I'm a girl!" ]

You can understand him? [ Is looking at you in wonder, Rinoa. ] Hi, Watts.

Well... [ She's...basking in that, a little. ] Not exactly, but you can kind of figure out what they're trying to say if you pay attention.

[ Yeah, not even close. Watts looks at the screen before raising a hand/paw/thing in greeting. And then letting out another noise of frustration. ]

He seems... frustrated now.

...Oh. What's wrong, little guy?

[ She leans down to pat Watts's head in comfort, but she just shrugs it off in annoyance. Rinoa frowns. ]

Maybe he's tired?

Maybe. Or hungry? He was just born, too.

Oh, that could be it! [ To Watts: ] Let me find you some food....

[ Rinoa walks off screen, and Watts just shakes her head. It really is hopeless.... ]

[ Xion simply stares at Watts and how she's acting. ] Not hungry, then...?

[ Watts shakes her head again; no, not particularly.

So when Rinoa returns with some food, Watts eats a little, but not much. ]

Is that not what you wanted? [ Rinoa sighs and slumps a little. ] I don't know what else could be wrong...

[ Seeing Rinoa slump like that... Xion tries to help. The Pokemon does seem to understand them, and the shaking of her head can make asking some questions a bit easier. ]

Um, Watts, do you not like the name?

[ The Charmander shakes her head. She really doesn't mind the name, she just wants to be recognized as a girl. ]

[ Okay, that's a clear "no." Thinks, thinks... ] Watts is a boyish name... [ Blinks. Maybe that's it. ] You're not a boy?

[ DING DING DING. Watts visibly brightens and nods, trying to catch her trainer's attention and point it at Xion. Good job! ]

Wait....you're not a boy? [ Rinoa looks at the Charmander closely. ] Oh. I guess I can see why you were upset!

[ She turns to the camera, smiling. ] Thank you, Xion.

[ Returns the smile. ] You're welcome. Are you still going to keep the name for her?

If she doesn't mind it! [ Rinoa looks over to see the Charmander shake her head. ] I don't think it's too bad a name for a girl, either.

[ Nods. ] You were talking about having a job earlier?

Oh, right! [ Rinoa nods. ] Yeah, I'm working at the PokéCenter here in Violet.

It's pretty cool! I get to see a lot of Pokémon and help take care of them.

Maybe I can meet you? I'm going to be in Violet in a few days.

Of course we can meet up! [ Big smile. ] I'm not sure how much longer we're planning to stay here, but we're in no big rush. And I'd like to say hi in person, too.

[ Smiles. ] Still, I'll try not to be long.

Let me know when you get here, and I'll come find you!

[ She nods. ] I'll do that.
