[This video starts off with a very annoyed Luke peering at the screen. He's got his hair up in a very fluffy ponytail this time, but there's nothing interesting behind him this time. A television can be heard in the background though, mingled with the ever-present background music.]

Whoever sent me the blob, you could've mentioned it can turn itself into other stuff! It turned into my PokéGear and I didn't notice until I had been talking to it for a while.

[Only about five minutes, but still.]

It's blue...but when I tried to see what it is, the picture that came up was pink. Is it sick or anything?

[He moves the camera to show a said blob--a shiny Ditto, sitting placidly on the floor. A Vulpix and a Growlithe can be seen wrestling in the background, periodically emitting angry yips.]

See? Blue.

[The video ends there, as he goes to break up the fighting 'mons.]

I tend to err on the side of whatever's most convenient, and I should probably stop doing stuff like that.

[He likes that she hasn't gotten all indignant on him yet.]

I don't have much practice taking care of pets. The closest thing I've ever had was a cheagle, and he wasn't really a pet. More like...an animal that just sort of started following us around.

...A cheagle?

[She tips her head slightly, curious.]

video

[fony]

It's...um...it's an animal...about cat-sized, with giant ears. Makes annoying 'mieuu' sounds most of the time.

[It's not a very good description, but he's also biased.]

video

[freshprints]

...So it makes "meow"ing sounds, but it's not a cat?

["Mieuu" has transposed into being synonymous with "meow" here, apparently.]

video

[fony]

No, cats go 'miaow', cheagles say 'mieu'.

[He is making an effort to differentiate between the two sounds. It's not working too well and just sounds like an angry cat and then a kitten.]

[freshprints]

And I presume cheagles are wild, if they're not pets?

Re: video

[fony]

I'm pretty sure it's illegal to keep them as pets. They're considered sacred...so yeah, wild animals.

video

[freshprints]

Yet one was following you. Doesn't that mean you're someone of high importance?

video

[fony]

I am.

[Was.]

That's not why he was with me, he was cast out by the other cheagles he lived with, and I got stuck with him.

video

[freshprints]

There aren't many people who can say they've taken pity on a sacred being and deigned to offer them the courtesy of letting them hang around.

What did you do with him?

video

[fony]

He's still around. He was with me before I woke up here.

[Pause.]

I wonder if they miss me back home.

...

[...]

Is there some reason why they wouldn't?

video

[fony]

Eh...n-no. I was just wondering. I've been gone for a couple weeks now.

video

[freshprints]

Were you in the middle of something important?

video

[fony]

I was trying to deliver a message. But it's probably too late by n--hey, what are you doing?

[It was fairly time-sensitive. As for the distraction, a small pink hand has just appeared at the bottom of the screen, followed by a bit of pink fluff. The Igglybuff wants to say hi.]
