Write Me an Endless Song

[The video feed turns on to show Minato with... an Absol glaring daggers at her. She doesn't seem to notice, and if she does, she's probably trying her best to ignore it.]

Hey, it's Minato! Happy November, everyone! I hope you're all not acting weirdly today! See, I was going to announce something, but I think it was better to wait until everything calmed down.

[Well, here goes nothing... Minato was sad about the loss, but she couldn't let it show. Even if she's the only one here now, at least her Pokemon can keep her happy---She relays the bad news with a smile.]

Um, Ryoji Mochizuki went home. If you have any of his Pokemon, it'd be cool if you'd let me know. I just want to have them accounted for.

Oh! As for me, I have Mina-kun~ Right, Mina-kun---

[Minato attempts to reach out and pat the Absol's head, but he ends up using BITE on her hand. It's super effective! Minato visibly winces, but maintains her smile.]

...............

[After a few moments of awkward silence, she withdraws her hand, which is bleeding profusely, from his teeth.]

Eheh! He's still unfriendly as ever! I hope he'll warm up to me soon, though... I heard a rumor that stronger Pokemon from other people would respect you more if you collected Badges? Maybe I should do that... Or if anyone can tell me other ways to get along with Pokemon, that would be gr---

[She realizes that the Absol was walking away from her while she was speaking, and the camera becomes shaky and sporadic as she gives chase.]

Wait! Come back, Mina-kun! LET ME LOVE YOOOOOOOUUUU---

[Suddenly, the feed ends. Anyone who's near the Violet City Pokemon Center may have noticed a girl being SUCKER-PUNCHed into the nearby lake by an angry Absol. It's super effective.]

[The video feed clicks on to show... a very unusual-looking hamster. Guess who found an Animal Card, guys? Minami opens her fuzzy little mouth to speak, her voice almost like she breathed in a whole tank of helium:]

Um... So, exactly how long do these card effect thingies stay for? I mean, seeing everything all big and stuff is pretty cool and all, buuuut... It's kinda sorta hard to do things this way too? I really can't cook dinner today like this...

Also, can someone get me a bag of sunflower seeds? For some reason I feel like eating them~

[Hey guys, remember that kid with blue emo haircut? Remember how he has a dead younger twin sister? She's on the screen with a smile that totally tells you nothing is wrong. And if you think that there's something wrong, it's obviously just your imagination. It seems like Minami's conveniently reappeared in the room she claimed as her own at Hotel Dusk as well.]

So, like, I woke up today and I'm back here, you know? Last time I checked, it was almost Halloween, but now everything's totally candified! It's super-shocking. Well, I guess it can't be super-shocking since candy's not made of electricity... Oh! But I guess it can be super-shocking if there's some sour candy lying about.

[Even if that line of logic didn't make sense, it did to her. Her stomach begins to growl audibly, and she glances out the window.]

... Well, I'll have to say that this is the first time in a while that I thought the trees outside look tasty.
