[It's been a while since this number popped up on the network, golly gee, it must have something important to say - except the video feed is face down in the dirt and some amused Poke-sounds that aren't quite chitters loom nearby.]

No. [He sounds annoyed, but not exactly close to the gear. The sounds continue a little, before the gear is getting flipped over to stare up at the little gaggle of young Pokemon; a small Deino that is lightly gnawing on one Sylph's tails, and even if it should hurt, the Espeon don't give no shits. No, he's more interested in staring down his trainer who is a few feet away on his back, and he's staring at the camera upside down where he's flopped with such narrowed eyes.]

I said no, Sylph, put that away. No one is going to care where I found Annie.

[Annie? Who is that? It can't be - oh yeah, it definitely the Anorith crawling over his shoulder, past his face now and he's making a grossed out expression because oh my god she is a giant isopod and seeing the legs in motion is REALLY KIND OF NASTY. Brb rolling over with a lurch, while Sylph chuckles in a catlike way, Snaps minds his own business and Annie chirps happily and just. Crawls over the gear. Hope you like seeing those legs in motion, network, cause ew no really, google only if you want to see some gross bug legs.]

Someone keeps mentioning that Clefairy could be found at the top of Mt. Moon, but there's nothing but a large moon stone. Does anyone have any legends or sightings to back that up? Really, just any legends or sightings lately, let me hear them. I'm bored of rock climbing.

[Since it's a cave mountain that they've been traveling through for the better part of a day and a half, Vanitas has worn out his stress button on being in this damn place, if only in that nothing seemed like it would crumble and cave in. Thank god Mt Moon isn't as shitty as Mt Mortar, or he'd have sent something in to blow up and avoid going through it himself.

Wiping some dirt off his face when he notices it through the reflection, he fixes the helmet on his head and reaches down to pick up a Pokemon off camera; it's a Luvdisc, when he stands, and she looks ultra pleased to see the screen, giving a chirp and sucking in a breath as if to spit water. Jerking his gear up and dodging the stream, Vani ends up with an amused chuckle as he points the feed back at her.]

I guess Finder says hi. I'm curious if anyone else has one of these, and where did you get it from?

[The feed opens up a bit into the bushes, a Buizel chittering away behind the screen and a Litwick wiggling just in the right hand corner, and paws are rolling the gear around. It takes a few minutes for the camera to be righted and pointing a direction that doesn't show leaves and snow, and then it's displaying a yard. A backyard.

Out in that backyard, Vanitas is practicing hand to hand combat with his Riolu and Croagunk; all three are working on their form today, led by "Instructor Zuru" the Scraggy. It seems to be going well enough, some simple arm thrusts and kicks being worked through, before they split into two groups. Riot starts off with a fierce volley of kicks at Zuru, who starts countering and dodging, and Vanitas takes a charge at the Croagunk.. who looks overly nonchalant.

It's a split second movement that the frog fighter makes, and not one Vanitas was particularly ready for; Croagunk used foul play and downright sucker punched his trainer in the gut, doing a fine job of knocking him off his feet and flat on his back. The resulting pained wheeze is enough to make the voyeur Pokemon go running, the Buizel leaving the gear behind in the bushes to time out on its own.]

Nhhhhhh!

[A medium pitched whine is what opens the feed up today, big yellow eyes frowning childishly into the screen. That is definitely Vanitas' face, but he's looking a little... off. While the face hogs the screen, there's a continuous sound of metal clashing on metal in the background, but Vanitas doesn't seem to be paying any attention to it. Instead, he's starting to make a few silly faces!

Crossing his eyes and sticking out his tongue, then wiggling his eyebrows and blowing a raspberry, he's just amusing the hell out of himself, judging from the chittering chuckles. Jerking with a surprised yelp a moment later though, there's a large puff of smoke with the gear clattering on the ground.

Black and red streaks away before Vanitas is picking up the gear again with a very solid scowl.]

Little shit, using my face to look like an idiot...

[Oh was this thing on? Not anymore 8D]

[The feed opens up to that in the palm of Vani's hand, before it's shown being taken over to the desk where it gets placed into a badge holder, where all of the Johto badges gleam, along with Celadon's badge.]

Six more to go, then I'll have them all. [What comes after? Nun yo business. While showing off his badges had been the main focus, there's a couple blurs of blue and brown streaking by off the corner of the screen, and Vanitas is turning; his newly hatched Eevee doesn't look all that thrilled about the Glaceon smothering him with LOVE AND AFFECTION.]

Kit, lay off. You're probably cold to him. Whenever he evolves, Umbra should be able to handle you better by then.. [Kit, with all her dead-eye staring in the past, looks rather lively past the feed at her trainer this time; she's actually excited about another "cousin", another of her kind. With the distraction though and a hand reaching into the feed, the brown critter climbs his way up Vani's arm and eventually gets the feed turning to face him.

His bangs look a little uneven, but he's got a rather fresh looking haircut everywhere else! Half tucked behind his head is a dour looking Eevee, with a brand new spit cowlick mussing up his features; partially why he ducks away further with the gear turning his direction. Snorting, Vanitas cocks a bit of a grin.]

Anyone have tips on getting an Eevee to evolve into Umbreon?

[Looking rather well rested for a change, Vanitas levels the camera with an almost bored expression, some maps audibly crunching as he drags his arm over them to flatten them out.]

I know there are some Gyms unavailable for challenge here in Johto right now, but does anyone know which ones aren't available in Kanto?

[Muttering, Vanitas looks down from the screen for a second, writing something down.] Put this trip off for way too long... [A pause, before those gold eyes flit back to the screen.] By the way, Ventus is awake now. [He'd say himself, but it's pretty obvious, you know?] Call him if you need him.

I have the item you requested, and the kid was dealt with.

[Not dead, no, the fight ended in a surprising tie... but it's not as though Vanitas really wanted to kill him. It was just a job, and the loud-mouthed Commander wanted the item more anyway.]

I will be sending the item in a box, carried by a Murkrow. Put the rest of the money in the box; the bird knows how to count.
