[Today's feed opens to a slightly shaky image of the trees of Illex forest, courtesy of little Alto holding up Demyx's gear. The scene pans out a bit as they walk down the path they're currently taking. Demyx sighs, the camera looks down at him crossing his arms before the blond speaks up.]

Yeah, I'm okay. It was easier when we had the big guy toting us around.

[He looks up and meets the camera lens. Then stares at it for a few moments with a flat expression.]

You're filming me.

[The camera shakes up an down.]

I'm not supposed to talk to you while we're filming, Alto, you know that. People will think I'm nuts or something if I try to explain it...apparently. It doesn't make sense to me, either. Anyway, we need to get to Azalea to pick up Lea soon so...cut the feed and hand me the gear so I can look at the map again.

[A pause, the gear turns around to an up-close view of a Ralts, then shifts down and flips back to Demyx's face.]

Lea, we're almost back. Make sure you've got everything packed so we can hit the trail quick-like, okay?

You know, people will probably think you're nuts if you don't explain it, now~!

Whoa, valid point.

[There's the blond, and he's staring at you.]

Uhh...The little guy's a psychic, yeah? So...he's one of the psychics that can talk to you...in your head. Telepathic, was it?

[He looks up at the Ralts peeking out above his hair, who nods affirmatively.]

Okay, good. Telepathic.

[And then back to the camera.]

A friend of mine warned me that it comes off as strange when you're speaking aloud to what looks like thin air, yeah?

. . . telepathic? There are Pokemon like that, too?

Yep. Apparently they're not all that common? I guess it's not much of a shock that it surprises people a good chunk of the time. It's an ability that some psychic-types possess, but even it seems like only the ones that trust their partner enough actually use it. Pretty sweet deal, actually, this lil' guy makes for an awesome translator.

You can talk to them too?

Nope, just Alto. Little guy's a telepath, so he's the one doin' all the talking.

Oh, he's a Psychic-type.

[He sounds disappointed. He was hoping to meet another psychic.]

Er...yeah, he's a psychic. You alright?

You don't look nuts at all.

[says the lady who still won't show up on camera because of her hair change.]

Minnie, hey! You don't think so? Well, someone told me that not too many people know about pokémon with telepathy. She warned that people might think I'm crazy or somethin' if I go around spending my days talkin' to thin air.

But it's a simple explanation. Even I have a psychic Pokemon.

You think so? I thought it was, too. But, you never know, right? Somebody might get the wrong idea...eh, maybe I'm just being paranoid.

[He snickers.]

Ha, 'paranoid.' Can't say I've missed that one.

Why would we think you're nuts?

'Cuz sometimes people don't know that some pokemon can talk to you in your head.

Some pokemon can talk to you in your head?

...

[Excuse him while he stares for a minute or so, then sighs a bit.]

[And then he slumps forward.]

Yeah...Some of them, some of them can.

video; she takes some of them that way

It's not that weird. I mean, people talk to their pets all the time back home, right?

Yeah, but it isn't every day that they talk back, y'know?

Yeah, yeah, very funny. I know these things aren't like normal animals, but talking? C'mon, they aren't that weird.

It's no joke. Trust me, I love to joke around with people an' all. But, I'm serious here. They don't talk-talk, I mean. Some of 'em, though, are psychic.

They have this thing, it's called 'telepathy' and well...they say things in your head. It's like...My partner and two other pokemon, sometimes we'll be walking around and suddenly I hear them in my head. At first I thought I was crazy, but sure enough, it's an ability that's listed in the 'dex an' everything!

Heh.. yeah, I'm packed, don't worry. All I've got out are things I'm using right now. [Clothes he's wearing. Pretty much it... being a lump in his rented room? Yeah.]

Alright, we'll hop on Courage and head to Goldenrod once I get to the apartment. Plenty of space up on this guy.

[A tired chuckle.]

Heh, so you named his Courage after all!

It kinda stuck, so yeah. I named him Courage the Cowardly Onix.
