[The Luke in this video is very happy-looking and also unusually freckly. At least across his nose and cheeks, since those parts of him are most visible from the camera's eye. He's holding two badges--Zephyr and Hive--in the hand not holding the Gear in front of him.]

Check it out, I got two badges! They were super easy, I didn't even have to bring along my entire team for either one!

[The badges go back in his pocket, and he looks slightly less happy.]

Also uh. I've got a bunch of eggs, too. Growlithe, Vulpix, Murkrow, Star...ly?, and Py--er, Litleo.

[At 'Litleo', an off-screen Pyroar makes a low but audible mrrr, and Luke turns away from the camera to shush her.]

Hey, if we're keeping them, I'm not taking care of them. Don't start.

...Anyway, if anyone wants any of them, lemme know. I've got prices and stuff written down.

(Egg post is here, and there are still eggs available!)

It seems they're really only useful to brag about. But you get TMs and money too, so I think it's worth it to collect them.

[Vulpix also becomes really cool-looking when it becomes Ninetales, so there's that too.]

P600, unless you want to trade something instead.

I haven't even started... or really thought about challenging them until recently.

[ She nods, looking pretty expectant. ]

That's okay. I'll send the money soon.

I tried to about a week after I got here. They wouldn't even let me in the Gym...said my team wasn't at a high enough level yet. They're definitely stronger now.

[Grin.]

Okay. I'll send the egg out when I get a chance. I hope you like it.

[shatterings]

That does make sense... How strong are they?

[ She nods, smiling lightly. ]

Mm. I'm looking forward to it. Thank you.

Enough that I took down both Gym leaders teams' with less than three Pokémon for each one.

[Naminé, don't encourage his bragging.]

[shatterings]

That's amazing! You must raise your Pokémon with a lot of care.

[ Too late. Oops? ]
