[Tap tap tap, goes a hand against a wooden surface. A counter, probably, since all the video shows is the ceiling of Celadon's best bar.]

On the one hand, Rosa is not here to dine with me tonight and I've won no badge today. On the other hand, I'm not still suffering from painful burns all over my limbs. All in all, I'd consider this third anniversary acceptable.

[The tapping is almost a song by now, one that could be familiar to him but to no one else.]

But I never was one to be content with a merely acceptable situation. Thus, let's improve it together. Reply to me on the network, and I'll offer you the most sincere compliment I can think of; come see me in person, and I'll pay all your drinks tonight. That sounds fair enough to me.

[It also sounds better than drinking the night away by himself, which is the important part.]

[A pale hand is slowly rolling a few Pokéballs on a desk, as its owner speaks softly.]

One received as a starter, oh so long ago.

[Sweet little Rosie, who had taught him the basics of this world when he was not in a state to learn by himself.]

Two caught with my own hands, within my first month here.

[To have revenge and to keep the peace, and perhaps out of curiosity and wonder.]

One received as a gift, to remind each other of our fondness.

[But Aerith was gone, now, and he'd never found out where her Marill went.]

Eight eggs, bought and traded and raised from birth.

[All of them grown, now, with nearly nothing left to learn from him.]

...Nine who found me when their trainers were lost, and who might have seen them come and go since then.

[Yet so many of his friends had disappeared leaving none behind, with nothing but his memories left of them.

The hand stills over one of the balls. His message is almost over.]

...Perhaps I should start catching once more, and start anew somewhere else.

[Today's backdrop is the Goldenrod Pokémon Center's kitchen. The cameramon would be Noelle the Blissey, considering the soft Bliss, bliss that can be heard. And the foreground?

An omelet. One large enough to feed a whole castle, with cheese and mushrooms and sausage bits. You could practically smell it through the screen.]

It'll not cook faster if you make a video of it, you know.

[The cook arrives, looking tired but much better than he did last time he posted. And this time he apparently doesn't mind the feed.]

How many people here come from worlds with inhabited moons? From what I've heard, we are in the minority.

[He pauses to study the color of the meal.]

If anyone is hungry, come to the Pokémon Center. We have more than enough to share.

[Free food! Who could ask for more?]

[The sky is blue, and Mist is flying, and Cecil is filming. He's silent for a few minutes, long enough for people to start to wonder if the Pokégear was turned on by accident..]

...Rosa. Kain. Bartz. Do you wish to see dragons?

[He doesn't sound like he's talking about the Altaria dancing amongst the clouds. And he's not.]

If anyone else wishes to travel to Blackthorn, you are more than welcome. Many must be ready to obtain the badge, by now.

[With that said, he continues to silently film Mist, until he finally tires of it and turns the Gear off.]

[Most people, when visiting Olivine, go right for the Gym or right for the beach. After all, the city is an important step for all trainers, and the sun is shining beautifully upon the sea. Most people would wish to enjoy it.

But Cecil is not most people at the moment, which is why he can be found walking around Olivine's more residential neighborhoods, Clefable and Heracross in tow. He probably even looks pretty suspicious, considering he's staring at every single house for a few seconds before moving on.

...It's rather hard to help with construction work when you don't even know where your friend's house is, you see.]

[Today's Cecil-cam comes from a very familiar location: Ecruteak City, ladies and gentlemen! It took some time, but he's finally returned!]

Rydia, Rosa, Tifa, we've reached Ecruteak. Would it be better if I waited until tomorrow morning to move the Sudowoodo, or would you rather have me do so as soon as possible? Both are fine with me. Though it might be somewhat too late, if you need to walk up to it...

[But his next enquiry brings a sad frown with it.]

...Has anyone found any of the Warrior of Light's Pokémon? I've not heard from them, be it before or after I reached the city.

[His voice makes it quite clear that he was not expecting to hear anything from the Warrior of Light himself.]

If anyone has found themselves in Cianwood and wishes to leave, Kayne still has some room on his back. We leave from the beach in two hours.

[Geez, someone is in a charming mood today. He's currently around the beach, watching a Dragonite, a Swablu and a Delibird fly around while a Milotic and a Gyarados are swimming.

...Which might very well explain his behavior, actually.]

[The scene is chaotic and glorious: Pokémon shouting, yelling, pleading, all at the same time and at the loudest volume they can manage. Yet somehow, the following can be heard...]

One at the time, please. I only have one hand to write.

[Not that Cecil's request is heeded. He sighs, and addresses the Pokégear directly.]

With the new additions to Goldenrod's catalog, I thought shopping might be a good idea, and it appears my Pokémon agree. Will anyone need something from that list? Some of those items can be rather expensive for newcomers, especially if you've not yet found work. As long as you tell me where you are, I can ask the store to post it to you.

[If he survives the yelling Poképile, that is.]
