We did it!
[Madoka shows the camera her tired but still proud Pokémon resting on her bed in the Center, presumably an hour or so after her triumph in Sprout Tower.]
The Sprout Tower challenge was a lot of fun, and Purrloin and Mami ended up evolving near the end! But, ah...
[The camera pans back to Madoka, who sets it down and fishes for the TM she earned in her bag. When she finds it, she holds it up for the camera to see.]
...Now that I've earned this Technical Machine, how do I use it...?

Video
You got one of them TM things? I'm still trying to figure those out - I'm going for my first badge soon.
Video
Yes, it's Flash. The Elder said it can be used to light up dark places you can't see in... Edd-san and I didn't poke our heads in when we passed, but there is a place called Dark Cave to the East. It would probably be good to have for places like that...
Which Gym are you going to challenge?
Video
Yeah, it does sound like that'd come in handy in the cave! You gonna check any out? I been to the caves at Mt. Mortar, those were pretty cool. Warm.
The first one, I guess.
Video
Maybe... I think I would need to be sure to pack a lot of stuff in case we get lost, and even with Pokémon, going into a big dark cave is bound to be scary.
[She takes a minute to check the location of Mt. Mortar on her Map Card.]
That's not too far from here! What was Mt. Mortar like? Did you not need Flash? Or did you have a flashlight?
Ah, Wirt-kun and I were talking about the Gym challenge a while ago, but I don't think we ever found out... Which is first?
Video
Mt. Mortar was cool! Lots of fire types. I was trying to catch a charizard, but I didn't see one the whole weekend. Still had fun, though, and a miner's light was fine.
It's the one in Violet City.
Video
It's too bad you didn't catch one! But at least you had fun? Is there a cat-like fire type?
!
That's where I am now! I stay and work in the PokéCenter to the South of Sprout Tower, but there's a hotel too. Falkner-sama, the Gym Leader, looks like he has really tough partners... Maybe you could sit in on one of his performances with them all before you battle him? It's really amazing.
Video
I dunno if there's a cat fire type. I know there's a dog fire type. And eevee's got a fire transformation, and they're kinda like rabbit cats.
Yeah, we get along. A bunch of'em came from other people before anyway, so they're kinda used to new trainers. And I bet it helps that I know'em and what they like.
Video
It's just that I have a few cats now, but no fire types, and I think some trainers go with a theme for the Pokémon they use? But I only have one space left on my team...
Hehe. That would help a lot, I think. It's sorta sad that they're used to changing hands a lot, though.
Video
[And Jimmy just can't resist taking kids out for burgers and shakes.]
Oh, hey, Litleos are fire types! Lions are cats. Just real big ones!
Yeah, poor guys. At least they've got people to look after'em.
Video
[In true kid fashion, Madoka only usually gets hamburgers from fast food restaurants. Jimmy shall show her the magic of other places. What a nice guy.]
Litleo? Where can I catch those?
Video
Looks like there's a lot of'em around Routes 34 and 35. Hey, that's right by me!
Video
You're around Goldenrod? Maybe... Are there any Pokémon you want around Violet? If you caught a Litleo for me...
Video
Gee, not that I can think of, but I can try and catch you a Litleo anyway. I gotta practice and train my guys. And I should practice catching wild Pokemon anyway, I ain't done it yet.
Video
Oh, you don't have to...! I mean, I wouldn't want you to go through all that effort for nothing in return, like with the restaurant...
Video
Nah, see, I get experience and that much closer to Omi evolving. He's only got a couple of levels left to go. And you can just try and nab me a charmander sometime if you get a chance!
Video | JIMMY Y U SO CUTE
Ah... I'm not sure I'll ever end up in a place like Mt. Mortar, but, if you're sure... I'll keep a look out. Thank you.
Video | HE CAN'T HELP IT!
That was just the closest place to me where I could look for'em. I dunno where else they are. Oh! And if I catch you a Litleo, you gotta tell me a cool story when we hang out. Got it?
Video | HE NEEDS TO STOP IMMEDIATELY IT'S KILLING ME
[And it looks like she was shocked enough not to hear the rest of his reply. Whoops. Don't worry Jimbo, you'll get that story! If you remind her.]
Video | HE NEVER STOPS HE IS JIMMY DARLING!
But that's cause it's 1951 where I come from. I was born in 1924, lived my life, then I woke up here. Lots of people come from lots of different times, but most people from America are from the 1990s or the next century!
And no flying cars anywhere.
Video | sorry for the lame reply, my muse dropped like a stone
[Video]
[So clearly that applies to everything remotely disc-shaped ever.]
[Video]
That is how you listen to music... Are there such things as TM players? The Elder said it contained a Pokémon move...
[Video]
[CDs, TMs, the combinations are endless.]
All you gotta do is put the disk in the player, and it'll tell your pokey how to use the move. Easy as pie! ...You might wanna get some headphones that fit them, though.
[Video]
Where would I get headphones for Pokémon? Or a TM player, for that matter? I mean, there is a huge department store in Goldenrod, I think, but...
[Video]
[And he sounds far too proud about that...]
But you're totally right, there's a huuuuuuge store in Goldentown. If any place has that stuff, it's gotta be that one.
[Video]
[What a strange guy.]
Ah- I'm Madoka Kaname, I forgot to say... Who are you? I don't think I've seen you on the network?
[Video]
[Teddie will never understand how he's not as famous as he thinks he should be. Complaining over the feed a few times clearly means he should have idol status already.]
That's okay though, I'm a sucker for introductions. Ahem. [He clears his throat and gently places his hand on his chest.] I am Teddie, your bear extraordinaire~
[Video]
[There's that and then the Bear Puns. (He could ursa little more variety.)]
It's uh... Nice to meet you, Teddie-san...
Why are you a bear, exactly?
[Video]
'Cause...'cause that's what I am?
[Video]
N-no, I mean... You look human...? Why call yourself a bear if you're human?
[Video]
[Teddie won't complain about passing the human test, but that doesn't mean it's okay to lie.]
But didn't you know already? Everybody who wasn't human back home turns all human when they get here. Even Rise-chan was all like "Oh Teddie, you're 100 bearcent human now!" and I was all "Whaaaaaaat?"
[That may or may not be word for word.]
[Video]
[Sentient animals weren't too far out of the question for her, considering Kyubey, but...]
I thought...
[She's still having a hard time wrapping her head around 'in other worlds everybody is an animal but when they get here they're turned human'.]
[Video]
[Maybe he's been a bit too spoiled, everyone he's told so far seemed to get over it fairly quickly. Of course, they were also people who've been here awhile or animals themselves, but it never occurred to him that someone might get stuck on something like that. In fact, it still hasn't.]
I don't bite or nothing. ...Okay, there was one time, but in my defense, he was waving his hand in my face all willy-nilly.
[Video]
[How does she put this?]
...You were a bear...? But now you're not? How is that possible?
[Madoka you've dealt with much weirder things, calm down.]
[Video]
[Anyone who asks Teddie to explain anything will only be met with disappointment.]
But, uh, I dunno how it happens in this world... I already had my human body by time I got here, you'd have to ask one of the other guys.
[Video]
Other guys? Like who...?
[Video]
[Video]
[Video]
[Apparently "dad" is a specific kind of look now.]
He's not too hard to miss either, he's always wearing this really funny hat and is usually the one sending a bunch of texts.
[Video]
[The second set of traits help a lot more than him seeming 'dadly'. Madoka checks the network for a moment before replying.]
The man who asked for a nemesis? ...I think his hat is cool, actually... He seems more like one of those detectives from Western movies. He wasn't human?
[Video]
Correctamundo~! He had no problem telling me he wasn't human, but at the same time he just won't tell me what he was in the furst place! Talk about rude, am I right? Oh well. Anyway, if you wanna learn more about nonhumans, he's a pretty smart guy to ask.
[Video]
I don't want to make myself a nuisance by pestering him about it...
Could you tell me what being a bear was like? I've sort of always thought about what life would be like as a cat...
[Video]
[Although he finds himself double taking when she says she thought about being a cat. Why is it always cats...]
A kitty cat, huh? Hrm...I suppose I can see it. Sensei would love you to pieces... Oh! Right, anyway, being a bear is a lot like, well, being a human. Only fuzzier. ...And lonelier. To be honest, I much bearfer human life in terms of stuff I get to do now, but I also liked being able to switch back and forth, too...
[Video]
[Cats are small fluffs who are allowed to do nothing all day other than laze around and look cute and eat. EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A CAT, HAVEN'T YOU HEARD TEDDIE]
Sensei?
Ah... The important thing is that you're happy as you are now, maybe? Though being a bear sounds good... besides the lonely part. I'm glad you're not so lonely now, Teddie-san.
