[Video/Action for Olivine, especially the home that has definitely seen better days by this point. Minnie is quite busy at their hand-made house. With what, you may ask? Well, as typical, Yen Sid the Medicham is playing with the Pokegear, so when it flickers on, you see...





Well, the human version, anyway.]

All right, everyone! We've got a lot of work to do, and I won't have any slacking. We're going to have lots of guests staying over in the future, so we need to return this place to tip-top shape! Understand?

[There's a small bustle of growls - The smaller 'mons are out to help - Azumarril, Kirlia, Jolteon, Noctowl, and Seel. They all have cleaning equipment saddled on, such as rags, brushes, mops, buckets, soap, etc.]

Now, Mickey and Clarabelle will handle the washing, but we've got some flooding to clear out, and that'll be... Yen Sid!

[Uh-oh, he's been caught. She storms over, and snatches the Pokegear out of his hand, tsking.]

You're not going to slack off this time, mister! Now go join everyone else.

[Booo :| But off he goes. Minnie sighs, and looks at the Pokegear. It's hard to tell, but she's smiling.]

Well, hello everyone. I hope everyone's faring well now that the disasters are over. As you can see, we're going to clean up the damage as best we can. Once it's all spruced up, you're welcome to come and visit us and stay here in Olivine anytime. Heehee, is this what you call free advertising?

Time seems to be another one of this world's oddities.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Heh, yeah... I'll say.

... Do you... ever wanna go back? Home, I mean?

[Video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Yes.

[Not even a flicker of hesitation.]

As much as I love this place and the friends I have made here, my kingdom is my home, at my husband's side.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yeah... makes sense.

You've got a lot to go back to.

[Video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

However... I still want to find a way that our worlds can always be connected.

[ Guess who is a bundle of energy with Goldenrod as the backdrop? If you guessed Hikaru, you guessed right and she's really, really happy to see Minnie and her team on the network considering how bad things have been throughout Johto. ]

Minnie-san, h --

[ And then the damage done to the house really registers in Hikaru's mind. ]

What happened to your house? Did the storm do all of that?!

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

[She tugs down on her kerchief to show a tired smile.]

We also had a case of strange trash-like Pokemon attacking us... and we're close to the beach, so we've had plenty of flooding.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

... Sora said something kinda like that.

He wanted to look for a way that everybody could still see each other after they went back home.

[video]

[memorizer]

I would have never thought to use pokemon like that.

[Really, she's impressed.]

I may come to Olivine soon, then.

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Oh, hello dear! It's good to see you, I'm glad you're all right. Pokemon can have all sorts of uses, if you're creative!

And do take your time if you'd like to come. I'll have a room specially reserved for you!

[video]

[memorizer]

I'll make sure to think of some uses before I visit.

[She thinks for a second at the offer.]

You'd have to make that a room for two. I found Yuuji over the network, he was already here before me.

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

oh my, you found your love! That's the best news, I'm so happy for you!

[video]

[will_to_burn]

That's awful.

[ There's a sad sounding chirp of agreement in the background, presumably from Hikaru's Cyndaquil. ]

I wish we were closer. We'd totally help you guys out. I'd say we could try and make the trip, but Mokona-chan isn't at a high enough level right now and Vanitas-kun is busy. Will all of you be okay? That looks like a really big job.

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Don't worry yourselves! I've got more than enough help over here, and we'll have things in ship-shape in no time. Besides, I'm excited for the challenge... for once, I'm the servant!

1/2 - [video]

[will_to_burn]

If anybody can do it, I'm sure it's you. We'll be cheering you on every step of the way!

2/2 - [video]

[will_to_burn]

[ And wait. Wait! ]

The servant?

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Well back home, I'm always the one being tended to, but know I can know how my servants feel!

[... that explains... what?]

[islandshore]

Hey, if you need extra help fixing up the house, I can send a few of my Pokémon your way.

[He pauses, bringing a hand to his chin.]

I know the storm's taken a toll on everybody out there.

[He still remembers how Lightning got pretty injured, not to mention all the flooding.]

video;

[her_mouse_jesty]

We'll be all right, I'm sure we can handle it. I'm just glad to hear from you... are you all right?

video;

[islandshore]

Well, if you're sure.

[If Minnie's holding the fort, why argue? Riku smirks.]

Anyway, I'm fine, just heading back to Kanto with Ven. We figured it was time to see some new sights.

video;

[her_mouse_jesty]

Oh, I hope you have fun. I've been to Kanto before, and it's quite the lovely place. I'm sure you two will have plenty of enjoyable challenges.

video;

[islandshore]

Yeah, I managed to see Saffron and Celadon, but that's barely scratching the surface. Besides, I've been slacking off for long enough.

[But this is Riku we're dealing with. The over-competitive teen who likes seeing new things.]

video;

[her_mouse_jesty]

You, slacking off? I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing.

[video]

[memorizer]

Thank you. We're going to be travelling around all of Johto now. Together.

[She really couldn't be more excited.]
