[ when the feed turns on, Tavros, sitting in his wheelchair with the camera pointed toward him, holds a hand up in front of him. between two fingers is the Mineral Badge from Olivine, and he grins. but wait!! then he does a nifty little trick with his fingers and the rest of his badges appear between splayed fingers—all of the ones from Johto so far, up until Olivine.

he looks mighty pleased with himself (for a change), grinning almost the entire time he talks. ]

Hehe, pretty cool, huh? I just got another one, the one from Jasmine, uh, pretty much only a few minutes ago. [ he gathers the badges into his open hand. ] That makes five now, and that means that there's mostly not that many to go before I'll have all of the badges. Well, from Johto, anyway, I guess. Still, that is partially an "all of them" situation, basically.

[ but then his grin fades a little. ]

If I can tell something in an honest fashion to the individuals that are listening to this... I'm sort of not really sure if it's just because I feel more confident, in a way, or if it's because my Pokemon beasts are especially formidable now, but this is pretty much more of an accomplishment than, uhh, other things I ever did. It's kind of... nice?

I think it's pretty cool. I still haven't left Cherrygrove.

Oh wow, Cherrygrove, that's pretty far. It's a generally nice place to be at, though. I almost stayed there forever when, uhh, getting here was a brand new thing and I was just starting out.

Sometimes it feels like I will stay forever, actually. I never left home before, so travelling is new and kind of scary for me.

I guess it can be kind of scary sometimes. I had some friends that I was wanting to get to that were staying in Goldenrod, so, uhh, that's why I ended up leaving, even though I didn't think I would. So if you have any people that you can meet up with, maybe that will help?

I don't know anyone very well yet, and there's no one else here from my home. But I do want to be able to Fly, and I guess you need gym badges for that.

Oh yeah, flying, that's something I'm still working toward, also. I think you need the badge from the bird-type gym person, and then you also have to get the thing, that lets you do it. That one is at, uhh... actually, I think it's at the place I'm going next.

[ !!! ]

[???]

Gee, I guess it'll be a while before I can fly again, then. But I'll do my best! I bet you'll do really well, too!

I hope so. I'm sure that you'll also do pretty well, if you put your mind to it. The beginning parts are sort of difficult and confusing, and also tiring, especially if you go by yourself, but, uhh, it gets easier when you're close to your Pokemon creatures.

You think so? [Oh look, Duck isn't used to compliments that aren't backhanded.]

Definitely! It's a thing that you can mostly take as a fact, if you want to.

Gee, thanks. My name's Duck, by the way.

Hello, Duck! I'm Tavros.
