for one so small, you seem so strong

[OOC: Replies will be kinda on the slow side if they even pop up since technically today I begin my hiatus. ^^; SORRY GUYS I'LL BACKTAG TO HIGH HEAVEN WHEN I RETURNNNN]

['Sup, Johto. This is Clover, cross-sitting on the grass with a Pichu in her arms. She's grinning. Actually, she's been in a good mood a lot these days.]

The egg Kisa got me hatched. Isn't he cute? I named him Ion - ow! [She flinches as the Pichu accidentally gives her a tiny shock by latching onto her arm.] Watch it! [Clover frowns, but only for a moment. Doesn't take her long to be all bubbly again.]

Anyway, now all I gotta do is train him up and he'll give Falkner the shock of his life!

[Just then, a Budew waddles over to Clover, followed by a Furret clutching something in his paws. It's a four - or rather, a three-leaf clover. It probably used to have four leaves but one seemed to have been either chewed down to a stub or torn off. Clover giggles as she turns to take the...well, clover.]

That's more of a three-and-a-half-leaf-clover, you guys - aaaaah!

[And before she could finish - ladies and gentlemen, does this bright flash of light look familiar? Ion whimpers and buries his face into Clover's chest as his trainer shields her eyes and leans away, Striper the Furret steps back in surprise, and Light the Budew? Oh, right now you can't see him. Just wait a few more minutes until...]



Rose...lia?

[Silence. Ion (who scurries behind Clover), Striper and Clover are just going to staaaaaaare until...]

All riiiiiiight!

[She jumps up, but actually remembers to put Ion down before jumping up and grabbing Light's arms - OMG LIGHT HAS ARMS NOW - and dancing all over the grass. Clover twirls him around and around, laughing as Ion and Striper - who picks up the PokéGear - run off to follow them.

Light does look elated, but Clover is definitely a lot happier than he is. Well, he's...kinda getting used to...being a foot tall and HAVING ARMS but okay.]

Awesome! About time you evolved!

That was...

[Pause.]

...A-anyway, I'm awake now. [Those who've talked to Clover in the past may notice that she's not her usual loud and hyper self. Her voice sounds faint and groggy.] I hope everyone else is awake too. 

Budew? Budew!

Yeah... [There's the sound of little footsteps from the little feet of a little Budew just worried about his mistress.] I'm fine...

[She shuts off the feed.]

 [Good morning, New Bark Town. Have a pink-haired girl sitting on a bench somewhere and staring into the screen, narrowing her eyes as if there's a speck of dirt on her PokéGear that wouldn't come off.]

There we go! That was easy, wasn't it, Light? [She turns to someone - or something - sitting at her left. The view shifts as well, showing a Budew peering inquisitively into the PokéGear, almost sniffing it.]

Budew!

[Now the girl gets down to business to defeat the Huns]

Okay, so if anyone can hear me, what kind of game is this? There's this weird woman who called herself my mom, but she's not my mom. For one thing, she doesn't know I have a brother. What kind of mom wouldn't know that?

... [Wait.]

Speaking of my brother, has anyone seen him? He has short gray hair and is blind, but he can get around just fine. 

And...is there a band or a hidden stereo here or something?
