[There is much scratching and moving noises before the screen finally clears up. It's pointed straight at the sky before things straighten out. There's a blur where an observant person might be able to recognize New Bark Town and then the trainer appears. She brings about a strange deja vu although it'd be super rare for anyone to actually remember her. She beams regardless, her backdrop a bit of water. There's splashing to be heard.]

Sweet, it's working! Oh, hey there. I'm... Dee. New here, although I keep hearing that's not a recent and spiffy development. Just figuring out this thing...

Still a bit lost, 'tho, I gotta say. [Judging by the laugh she gives, it has not even vaguely occurred to her to be bothered. At all.]

I don't suppose there's anyone out there who can point me in the right direction? Route 29 is looking like the only way out, but even one way streets can be tricky. Besides...

[She trails off, staring up at the cloudy sky.]

...Something seems up.

Really? How far is Violet?

I'm glad you do. There's so many things to try out! It's been a while since I've had this chance myself. What have you done so far?

About ten days after you reach Cherrygrove. I think most people are in Violet.

Me? I've started training my pokemon, and I'm doing the Gym challenge.

Everyone except us newbies, it looks like.

Oh! I've heard about that. Greed mentioned it... And how's that working for you?

Pretty good. I've managed to get the first two. There's still six left though, and then you can challenge the Champion.

Have some late congratulations, then! I'll be sure to cheer you on when you get to this champion.

Uh...thanks. Are you going to try the challenge?

I'd rather not... The whole 'fighting' thing isn't me. I'll probably have to at some point, 'tho...

I actually got another book packed in my bag. It's all about breeding Pokemon instead of using them to fight.
