[All that can be seen at first is a big pink eye, before the Pokemon holding the Gear pulls back and reveals itself to be an Espurr. The camera is pointed at the ceiling, but as the Espurr paws at the screen, an argument is plainly audible off-camera.]

[Or... half of one, at least. Naoya sounds very angry, but the other voice isn't audible.]

I told you, no. I don't think that's a good idea.

[There's a pause as a response comes, and then there's the sound of a fist slamming on a table.]

I said no. You will listen to me. I am the one in charge here. Don't -

[There's a frustrated 'Voir!', and Naoya practically growls.]

It won't end well. You know why. I've explained this to you! I'll look for another solution. There are many Pokemon who can -

[He stops talking, and when he speaks again his voice is quieter and more controlled.]

I'd have to rotate Pokemon to prevent them from getting sick from it. It's not worth it.

[... There's silence, and then Naoya sighs. The Espurr mewls, and a Gardevoir leans down to pick her up. She blinks in surprise at the camera, and reaches out to turn it off.]

I'm presuming you didn't intent to broadcast that little disagreement?

*he figures it's only fair to at least let the poor guy know it was out on the network for everyone to see*

[crouching_sin]

[... Oh, dammit.]

... No. No I did not. Nekomata must have been playing with the Gear.

[dreamsofahero]

They do have a tendency to do that, don't they?

[Voice]

[crouching_sin]

They do. I should have left it somewhere she couldn't reach.

[Well this is...abrupt. The first time Nagi goes to reply he almost misfires, seeing as how he has six Espurr climbing all over his knees trying to look at the one that appears in the video after Yang recognized it to be the baby she gave away not long ago. Eventually, though, he manages.]

Is there a problem?

[crouching_sin]

Nothing anyone else needs to be concerned with. I was just having an argument with one of my Pokemon.

[unkinder]

That much is obvious. You may want to take better care of where your Gear is, then, if this is something you'd rather not be seen.

I'm going to have to have a talk with Nekomata about Geaer use. She's still very young.

[Atsuro's elsewhere when he saw this broadcast.]

...Something wrong, Naoya?

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

[Siiiiiigh.]

Alice and I were just having an argument.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

Arguing about what?

[Is it something he can help with?]

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

She wanted to have Legion use Dream Eater on me.

[pinnedbangs]

[Those are some rude words to say to say to a sweet lady like Alice. That's why he's addressing her.]

You okay Alice? [So what if Naoya answers? He'll talk to him too!]

[video]

[crouching_sin]

[Alice nudges Naoya out of the way. She's being addressed, not him. She still looks fairly angry, but she's at least unhurt.]

I'm fine. He's just being stubborn.

[video]

[pinnedbangs]

Maybe you should talk it over again once he's had somethin' to eat!

[It's a joke! Hopefully it eases the tension a bit. It's a good thing she's not so tiny anymore. ...He's sure she'll be fine in time.]

[video]

[crouching_sin]

Maybe. I'm trying to help him, but he won't listen.

[video]

[solas_ion]

Gettin' sick from what?

[sticking his nose right in your business, pal]

[video]

[crouching_sin]

[He suddenly has a strong temptation to go find his Murkrow.]

Using Dream Eater. Nightmares aren't exactly a good thing to feed a Pokemon all the time.

[video]

[solas_ion]

...Sounds like she really wants to help. Maybe rotating a few wouldn't be a bad idea.

The plot thickens. [Here's Clover, snickering a little at her screen. Anyone else she'd probably leave alone, but Naoya is a...buddy? Acquaintance???]

Someone probably wasn't trying to do that, huh?

video

[crouching_sin]

[S-siiiigh.]

Not at all, no.

[Cats please.]

video

[fourleafcleaver]

Cats are pretty much the same no matter what the universe is. Can I ask what the not-good idea is?

[lullabytes]

...What was that argument all about?

video;

[crouching_sin]

[... Siiiiiigh.]

She wanted to help me with something, but she can't help with this.

video;

[lullabytes]

Is it a secret matter...? Or a gym battle or something like that?

[ she won't mind if he doesn't want to say, but she's curious. ]
