[A Rising Badge, carefully turned over and over in a man's hand, obviously being inspected from all its angles. This is the image coming from the Cecil-cam, today.]

A year, to the day. That's more than acceptable for the first part of an adventure. Or perhaps I should say that obtaining this last badge is an excellent way to celebrate my first year in this world?

[Cecil's hand finally closes around the badge, and he brings the Pokégear up to look at the sky instead.]

Would anyone know why the professor cal- No, nevermind. It's not important at the moment. Badges and anniversaries should both be celebrated. If anyone in Blackthorn wishes to join me, I'll pay for the meal and drinks.

[At a very nice restaurant, too. Let it not be said that he does not have taste.]

If she c'n get him t'behave, it'll be a miracle. None'a mine c'n, an' th'only way I c'n get him t'behave is t'put him in his ball.

We might as well try.

[He turns to the left and shouts to something beyound the Gear' screen.]

Mist, dearest, please come talk to your son!

[...There is now an Altaria head taking up most of the field. Enjoy!]

[Cordon starts fluttering around, whacking Lottie in the head with his wings while she glares at him]

[Cecil can be heard being shoved away as Mist faces the Pokégear properly.]

Sweetie! My goodness, how you've grown~ You must be breaking hearts left and right!

[Family trait. Lovely. Before Cordon can pipe up again, Lottie grabs him]

Behave, y'over-sized blue bird. I don' letcha whack othah trainers, an' I ain't gonna letcha whack me. [To the camera] Can' b'lieve I'm doin' this, but c'n y'tell Cordon here t'stop harassin' all th'female critters an' th'trainers?

[Mist nods with grace and dignity.]

Listen to your trainer; she has some common sense. If you push too hard, you might lose any chance you would have had. Think of the missed possibilities! Besides, you'd not want to be rude like your father, would you?

[...Can Altarias sound menacing? Because Mist sounds rather menacing. It gets a sigh out of poor offscreen Cecil.]

Re: [video]

[Cordon squeaks and calms down. He shakes his head. Lottie is impressed by the sheer amount of menace in that tone.]



[Lottie looks between the screen and her Swablu]

Huh.

[paladinlost]

That's my boy! I'm so proud of you~

[Said with such parental pride, too.

Muffled:]

Traumatizing your child is poor parental behavior, Mist.

[She ignores him superbly.]
