04--video

[shatterings]

[ The video flickers on and Naminé's looking incredibly unsettled. She's quiet for a while until she opens the door of her room. There, standing in the hallway, are two Meowstics--one female, one male--and a lone Espurr. Kind of like this, with the Espurr right in the middle. Standing. Staring.

Quietly, Naminé turns the camera toward herself. ]

When we woke up, we found them like this. I... I'm not sure why they're doing this.

... Is this normal?

[shatterings]

But it's still an incredible ability... You shouldn't sell yourself so short.

[ ... Though, she doesn't even consider taking her own advice. ]

[dressofheaven]

Ha, but I do no such thing! Don't you see? I am telling you that I am capable of much, much greater things. Perhaps you will be privileged enough to see some of them.

We'll see. [Though if Namine's there when Ilya battles, it's likely only a matter of time. Talos is a staple of her team.]

[shatterings]

I hope I will.

[ Really, she's looking forward to seeing Ilya battle. She must be amazing. ]

[dressofheaven]

Well, that will come sooner or later. I suppose I'll be taking on Kanto's elite teams eventually, if nothing else.

I look forward to it! Have you ever seen a battle between Pokemon at their maximum level of potential, Namine?

[shatterings]

[ She shakes her head, and she can't help but feel pretty excited! ]

I haven't, but I would really like to.

[dressofheaven]

Then we shall make certain you are given the opportunity!

Of course we will. You're welcome to come along to any of my battles, Namine.

[shatterings]

Thank you, both. I'll make sure to see them for myself some time.

[dressofheaven]

Maybe they'll give you some ideas for a picture or two.

[shatterings]

I'll be sure to bring my sketchbook, then.

[dressofheaven]

You hear that, Talos? I'm expecting some excellent poses out of you.

But Mistress, most of my moves are purely mental.

Meteor. Mash.

... You raise a good point.

[shatterings]

.... Meteor Mash?

[dressofheaven]

[Ilya chuckles.] One of Talos's most powerful attacks. It... no, I think I'll let you see it for yourself next time I fight.

[shatterings]

[ It's pretty self-explanatory, Naminé thinks, but... ]

I'll look forward to it, then.

[dressofheaven]

In the meantime, let's take advantage of the pleasant day and sit out here for a while.

[Away from the psychotic psychic cat.]

[shatterings]

Mm. If we had some sort of refreshment, I think that would make it even more perfect.

[ Aww Goggle's not... that bad. ]

[dressofheaven]

[Says the girl who posted to the network scared of her.]

Now that's not a bad idea. Cerberus. Fetch us a pair of drinks.

[The houndoom springs into action, bounding back towards the building at high speed, amusing Ilya.]

She always leaps to her commands...

Perhaps she worries she does not do enough for you, Mistress.

[shatterings]

[ To be fair, Kairi did... tell her that this is normal? ]

She's very fast. And... I'm sure she does more than enough. Is that right, Ilya?

[dressofheaven]

All of them do. I have no disappointments in my team.

You wouldn't allow them.

[Ilya laughs.] True, true.
