Step 1 | Video/Action for Cherrygrove

[falseshore]

[Hello again, Pokéworld. You've probably seen this face before, because it's identical to another face currently residing in the world, but it's not the same person. Said face looks slightly irritated.]

Geez, I leave for an hour and someone steals all my stuff...all my money, my clothes, my bracelet! My whole team's been replaced with the most useless bird besides a Pidgey. And my badges. I don't want to deal with Whitney again!

[He pauses his rant to run a hand through his hair, not to calm himself, but just to give him something to do with his hands while he takes a breath.]

...I've heard that people who leave...their Pokémon sometimes end up with other people. Did anyone get Nami or Spike? Pyre? Ri? I'll even take Aura if he's still around.

Whitney's waiting for you. She's already shedding fake tears just to practice for your rematch...

[Heh, heh, heh...

So, hi, clone. Riku's over here grinning like a Cheshire Cat, though after a second, he turns his camera onto a certain Rapidash dozing in the corner.]

I got a couple of your Pokémon. Spike, Pyre, Spectre, Nami, Aura, Sora, Obito, and Fira. Want me to send them your way?

[He groans. Not at Riku, but at his terrible joke.]

Haha, very funny. I don't know if I'll even be able to get into her gym again, if I'm recognized. Last I checked I was banned from th--

[He cuts himself off when he notices the Rapidash. Blue and white, like the one he used to have...]

You...you actually have them?! You have them? Yes, I would like them back...

[islandshore]

Well, next time you hit a PokéCenter, I'll have them sent through the PC. Sound fair?

[He shrugs, taking a quick glance at Pyre.]

Should make regaining the badges easier, at any rate.
