[The video opens to Madoka sitting on a bed in a Pokémon center, an Espurr and her Purrloin in her lap, a Pidgey resting on her shoulder, and a Hoppip sitting on her head. She seems to be doing well, though there's a sad note in her smile if one were to look hard enough.]

It's been a long while since I said anything, myself, on here, and I have a lot of good news!

[She tries to gesture around without disturbing any of her napping Pokemon.]

We made it to a place called Violet City a few weeks ago! I've been staying in the Pokemon Center, in return for helping out here part-time... I'm not the best, but I think Nurse Joy and the Chanseys really appreciate the help, anyway.

[She gingerly picks up her (obviously very young) Espurr, showing her sleepy self to the camera. ...mrr?]

When we got to Cherrygrove, I checked my PC- Greed-san's egg was there, and safe, like he said it would be in the PC! Amy hatched about a week ago, and she's been a big help at helping us find things around here... She's also very cute, hehe.

[Amy is tucked gently back into her lap, curled up against Purrloin's belly, who starts grooming the top of her head as a token of affection.]

I also have caught new Pokemon! Sandy, [She gestures to the Pidgey on her shoulder,] was the first Pokemon I ever caught, and ever battled against. She's really tough- between Sandy and Purrloin, we made it through the Routes here fairly easily.

And I caught Hoppip just a day or so before we arrived here. It's getting into fall now, and the monks in Sprout Tower are really grateful for Sandy and Hoppip's moves that kick up wind- they move the leaves around a lot more easily than their brooms...

How is everyone? I know it's a little late, but I've put this off too long anyway...

It's okay, Henry-san. I'm Madoka.

[Aww, don't worry too much, Henry. You'll get the hang of it some day.]

A Tropius...? I don't think I've seen that kind of Pokemon...

And, ah, which badge is it? We have a gym here in Violet, but I don't know what rewards there are for beating it yet...

He's a long-necked dinosaur with big leafy wings.

_{[However, at her next question, Henry opens his mouth...then shuts it.]}

You know, I'm not sure...I'll have to ask Heather.

Oh! That's very cool! Where did you catch him?

Okay. With all of the bird Pokemon at the gym here, it could be this one! But not necessarily.

My friend, Envy, actually sold him to me when he was just an egg. He still has the mother and sometimes they play together.

Envy? I got Amy from a man called Greed- do they know each other?

And, ah... How long did it take him to hatch, then?

[no_ufo_ending]

They do! They're almost like brothers, I think.

_{[That's what he's gathered anyway.]}

It's been so long, I can't remember. It helps if you have a fire type or a way to keep the egg good and warm.
