[The screen fizzles on, all to show Umi leaning over a rail, yelling something off screen.]

Stop going so far! You think you won't get pulled out to sea?!

[Apparently she planned to talk to the viewer, but the unseen swimmer distracted her. So it takes a second before she looks to the screen again.]

Hi. I'm mostly doing this to tell Hikaru I'm in the city called "Cherrygrove", and I want to know if you're close yet. If not, I'm tired of sitting still, so I'll meet you on the road.

-but I wanted to ask just, anybody.

[While talking, she's sat down on a bench, right between a pair of eggs - both a light blue with white markings. But the colortones differ, and Umi pointedly leans away from the one making a ":)" with the white.]

How many of these Pokémon do you keep? Do you take them all into battles and make them all strong? Or do you pick and choose the ones you work with? And, the eggs. How many of these do you hatch and raise at once?

I have enough troubles with one, but if I need to keep more, I have these to work with. But still

[...and she's noticed her Piplup has swum too far, so sorry for the sudden lost-patience noise and abrupt call end.

For those who happen to pass her by in person, though, they'll get a treat of Umi trying to coax her penguin, and sweet talk her to shore. And failing miserably.]

There you are!

[...wherever you are. Because what.]

Ah- Yes, I've been here about a day, the penguin's fine and swimming, some people have explained things...

...are you riding a horse?

That's good.

[ And Hikaru nods with considerable enthusiasm, an equine snort following along with the sound of a tapping hoof. ]

Uh huh. Link-san lent her to me so I could get to you faster. Her name is Din and she's a Rapidash. She's really fast!

-and I didn't know you could ride!!

[Honestly, is that even safe? Chances are a "Rapidash" isn't a tamer version of a horse!]

Does that mean you'll be here soon- In one piece?

I couldn't. I had to learn really fast!

[ And she learned fairly well, she thinks. She gives Din's mane a pat and beams at Umi. ]

Din-chan was really good about it, though. I should be there really soon, too. I think riding will take a few days off, so I should make it to Cherrygrove around... the thirteenth maybe?

[Guh- as a friend, Hikaru, this method of learning... It worries.]

Perfect! Then it's fine if I meet you on the road? I'm sick of watching the penguin swim half the day.

[Sure, money-making the rest is a help, but come on.]

[ But it's totally a full proof way of learning! ]

That's totally fine! I'll be really good to see you, Umi-chan.

[ In person, that is. She's really missed Umi and Fuu okay. Really, really! ]

Good! Then I'll be on the road and on my way! Just you wait, you won't have to come even close to Cherrygrove!

Penguin!! Come on, we're going now!

[...darn that Piplup ignoring her, making her hang over the water edge.]

Okay, Umi-chan! I'll see you really soon!

[ Like, really soon. With the two of them traveling toward each other, they'll meet up in no time! ]
