( The Cheri Berry Challenge is totally a thing. )

[Video]

Airi fluttered around both boys, her arms flapping about as she flounced between them with nursing supplies in tow. They were still seated at the table where their challenge began, except the bowl of freshly picked cheri berries was suspiciously empty.

Yukio had a large wad of tissues latched to his ruddy face. He pointedly ignored his brother as he did his best to hold his face in one piece. Rin lay his head on the table, a distinctly nauseous look on his equally flushed face. He would have made a quip or two if it didn’t feel as if he would suddenly hurl at any given moment.

The younger Okumura reached over, his hand waving in the air to bat away the Gear's camera which seemed to be held above them. "Kizamime... why are you... turn that thing off." he groaned, managing to wipe his face with the tissues. Behind the camera is the chirp of a rather cheery Noibat, almost splitting his sides in amusement at the sight.

But Yukio managed to straighten himself up before digging into his wallet and handing Airi a few pokedollars. "Airi, run to the store and get us some milk. I think we'll probably need..." he began before turning his attention to a groan from nearby.

"I think I'm gonna be sick--"
"Rin, no!"

[Violet City, a place that smelled of new opportunities, shiny badges, birds, grapes, and revenge. Revenge just happened to take on the visage of a tough-looking kid with sweet intentions.]

What's up?

[Well howdy-do Johto! This bright ball of teenage sunshine is more than happy to greet the masses. It has been such a long time since he has last seen everyone, right? It - It honestly didn't feel like such a long time, but judging by how Poochy nearly mauled him upon return, he figured it had to have been at least six months.

Oh well! He was here now!

Despite how early in the evening it was, there was nothing that could dampen the force of that smile. Yes, he did look a little drained, and yes that was a mini collection of dedenne perched his head and shoulders. His smile clearly said that this particular trainer was ready to take on the world by storm - a vengeance storm. He points the camera towards the Violet City Gym. Glorious, isn't it? The video's image stays right on the gym as Rin continues to speak.]

It's not everyday that a guy gets a chance to kick some Bird Man's ass. We've challenged this guy before and he kicked my ass three times before I could get a badge. I couldn't have done it without the old team. But Poochy and I are gonna make sure that this is gonna be the fourth and final time, right girl? [ARF ARF!!

Wow, it had been a while... Right. Now or never. Rin takes a deep breath and shouts out:]

This is for Blue and Birdie!! This is for Soba and Saki and Sei!! THIS IS FOR ACORN AND THE BABY ZORUA TOO AND T-BONE AND BROWNIE!!

Poochy, we're going to get the badge back for them!! So Bird Man, you better watch your feathered ass 'cause Rin Okumura and Poochy are comin' in to kick it into last year!!!

[Now, Poochy didn't really like battling. It just wasn't her thing. But there was no way she would back down after that sort of pep talk! She remembered those guys well and she missed the missing ones. And if it meant that they were still remembered by getting that one badge, then she could do it! She would definitely do it!!

The camera swings back to Rin's face. He looks ready for anything.]

We're gonna take on that guy ...tomorrow morning!! After a good night's sleep!! [If his grin was huge before, then it's just brimming over with unbridled excitement now.]

So keep your eyes peel -- uuuuhh open!! Keep 'em open! Wiiiiide open!! For the biggest battle ever! [Oh yeah it was gonna rock!!

But there was one more thing he had to say while he was still out of Yukio's immediate viewpoint. His voice lowers just a bit. He almost covers the video's screen, as if that could really shield the information from leaking out.]

Hey... so, whoever looked after my brother while I was gone? Thanks.

[It doesn't matter that he's caught on to the glitches last minute. All that matters is that he's getting on in this action before it goes away.

If you just so happen to be in Celadon's Breeding Center, feel free to ask yourselves why the New Guy and his Murkrow are currently in the kitchen making all those strange noises.

The video flips on, all foggy and broken. You can barely see beyond the haze, but it seems as if there is a figure looming not too far away from the camera. Is it a boy...? ...A man? His voice is barely recognizable with all that noise - unless, of course, you happened to be very familiar with the speaker.]

If anyone ▒▒▒▒▒▒ just stay where you are! They're coming!! They're ▒▒▒▒▒▒ -- !! [the video jerks violently, out of the speaker's hands. There's sounds of a struggle... the speaker doesn't seem to be winning!! When it stabilizes again, its on a horrifically tall figure cloaked in darkness

THERE'S A WEIRD BLUE LIGHT BEHIND THE FIGURE, LIKE IT JUST CAME OUT OF SOME DARK PIT OR SOMETHING. OR MAYBE IT CAME DOWN FROM THE SKY. IN A SPACESHIP. And it's all smokey! And oh my gosh IT'S MAKING ALL SORTS OF SOUNDS LIKE -- like a charmander, riolu, and a murkrow, actually -- LIKE SOME SORT OF DARK PIT SPACE CREATURE -- It tuuuuurns to the gear, showing off its looooooooooong, horrific looking beak which was smeared in berry juice red sticky stuff.

OH THE HORROR.

OH THE HUMANITY.

OH THE WASTED BERRIES.

Conveniently enough, the feed ends there. About ten minutes later, a text message appears. It's Very Official Looking.]

[Lookit this face! Lookit this bright, shining, smiling face that's ready to take on the whole world by storm! And why is that? It might have something to do with that kick-ass badge from the Violet City Gym that he's holding up to the camera.]

They did it! It took a while to figure out how to take him down, but they did it! He only gave me one badge though. Shouldn't there be one for each of them? Guess they'll just take turns. [Like good siblings should. At least he hopes they'll share...] Look at them! They were so happy afterward, I had to treat them to something great today! And since I can afford as much food as I want now, there's more than enough reason to celebrate!

[The camera turns around to take a good look at the champions. All of his pokemon are having a picnic in the nice, clean, garbage free Violet City. It's an impromptu picnic with a (real live) picnic blanket and lots of different kinds of home-made pokemon food and drink. Pidgeot's already cleaning his feathers while Cyndaquil sleeps on a tiny corner of the blanket. Lapras is swimming off its meal and enjoying the better weather more than any of his pokemon. And what of Poochy? She's still enjoying the food and finishing what the others couldn't.]

[The camera creeps closer to Poochy until it's nearly right in her face. She growls slightly.]

Poochy didn't want to battle. [Rin reaches over to pet her -- and she lets him without complaint.] You're not a battling type of girl, are you? But I did find something you were good at. She's better at it than the others are!

[Poochy almost seems to smile as she inches closer to Rin. She adores the praise.]

She eats anything. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have figured out how to make all of this food for them. Right, Poochy? [Poochy barks~ and returns to her meal.]

What sort of food do you feed your pokemon? They have that stuff at the Center and in the Mart but not everything's fresh. [Most of it's like instant noodles -- instant pokefood. And box stuff. And he'll only feed them that when he has nothing to give.] There's a pokémon restaurant somewhere, right? With high-class foreign food?

[Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo he made it (somehow) to Cherrygrove City! About a week ago!! But that doesn't seem to matter now, right? Rin's feeling good - real good. His arm doesn't even hurt, even though it had been wrapped in those towels 'mom' gave him. Since his early morning arrival a little more than seven days ago, he's seen a Nurse Joy about his arm and gotten himself patched up real good. Now, as of this lovely afternoon's broadcast, he's just taking a walk by the city's sea coast.

And what a lovely view of the sea it is! The pokémon aren't singing anymore and Rin's been itching to get this gym challenge completely underway.

But why is he still in Cherrydumb? And why the seaside? Well...]

No one said this place had dinosaurs. [He should have guessed it would have, since it was based on a video game and all. Rin turns the camera just a smidgen - and there he was, in all of her glory... a large, blue, swimming dinosaur.] The Nurse said it was mine after I threw that pokeball at it. I did the same thing to a bird not too long ago - it was trying to eat Poochy's food.

[Poor Pidgey was still a little mad about being attacked by a pokeball, but it was getting over it! Just, you know, inside of its new pokeball. But that was another story. Rin seems a little unsure as he he poses his next question:]

The dinosaur - Blue - looks healthy and happy but it needs water. And I can't [physically] carry a pool with me [anymore]. ... How can I keep it hydrated while we're going to Violet?
