It's unfortunate, isn't it, when people you've grown to like suddenly disappear in quick succession. I'd grown to enjoy their company, but I suppose that's how this place is, isn't it?

[It's just... Garry's first time experiencing it. He gives a sigh, video showing him seated outside somewhere this morning with one hand petting a Gible in his lap while the other dangles a lolipop. Just something to keep his mouth occupied since the urge for a smoke was particularly strong today.]

A few more Pokemon were suddenly found in my PC with Marcia and Kaede leaving. I wonder how that works? [He gives a shake of his head and offers the network a soft smile.] But... onto brighter topics.

First of all, I've made a new version of a coat I was very fond of back home. [Yes, he knows it's tattered here and there, but it's stylishly tattered. Big difference.] Secondly-

[He shifts the video to show a Charizard swooping through the air over the ocean near Goldenrod. He seems to be showing off to the Lapras that's lounging down below.]

Izzy evolved not too long ago into his final stage! He's very pleased about it and- [A Shadow Ball is suddenly tossed at Izzy, who dodges it and gives an angry roar. Garry sighs and shifts the camera to show a Banette on the docks, pointing and cackling.] ...Red Eyes evolved as well. She's even worse looking now, and she won't let up on tormenting Izzy.

[He shakes his head, ignoring the sound of conflict.]

Those two... Anyway, I've also been doodling a few outfit ideas just to past the time. If anyone's interested, this is what I've sketched out so far. [He holds up a sketchbook, with a set of four pictures shown.] What do you think? I know it's not much but, as I said, it's just something I've been doing in my spare time for fun.

Hey, Garry. How are you? Those are some nice sketches you've got there. [Otacon smiled at his friend's work. Piplup also leaned in to get a better look, nodding. He then spotted the Charizard and narrowed his eyes at him. No, he wasn't scared but looked like he wanted to battle with him! Silly, Piplup.]

Izzy looks great. What's it like having a Charizard in your team?

Honestly? [The ghostly cackling and sounds of fire apparently going to stop anytime soon.] Tired.

It's good that Izzy has become this strong, and now that he has wings, I can have him use Fly to get us places. But... It seems that since him and Red Eyes evolved, their rivalry has only gotten more intense. The two of them are my strongest Pokemon, even with Kaede's team being left to me, so sometimes I'm not really sure what to do with them...

[otakon_geek]

Fly must be really useful, as there is a lot of ground to cover within Johto. I am hoping that Nomad will learn Fly once he becomes a little bigger. I'd actually love to see your Charizard up close if that's possible. [Because he looks really impressive.]

[artificialrose]

Oh, certainly. Hold on- Izzy!

[He has to yell a bit since both Pokemon are still fighting, and the weather's still bad. After a moment, there's the sound of heavy wing flaps, and the Charizard is squeezing into the little space Garry is at. It peers down at the 'Gear inquisitively.]

Is this good?

[otakon_geek]

Yeah, that's great. Woah, he really is big! [Otacon marvelled at how big the Pokémon was. He was like a dragon. Piplup jumped back slightly but still remained calm and poked his tongue out at Izzy.]

[artificialrose]

Yes, it's quite a change from the little Charmander he was before! It's really interesting how the different stages of Pokemon vary...

[Izzy just gives a slight snort at the Piplup's antics, resting a bit against Garry.]

[otakon_geek]

Yes, it is. [Otacon waved to Izzy and admired just how big he actually was.]

What moves does he know now?

[artificialrose]

Well, he hasn't learned too many new moves just yet... Although he did learn his first Flying type move. Thanks to what Kaede left me, I was also able to teach him Fly. That should get us to where we want to go much faster.
