[The video clicks on, and there is... well. There's a Rufflet and an Ursaring in colorful party hats.]

[In an inn room. He finally sprung for one tonight, yeah. Tobias turns the camera around and grins, though it's a little bit of a crooked grin. His last birthday... didn't go so well. Or was that the birthday before? The last birthday he paid attention to the date on, at least. Anyway.]

What kind of stuff do you guys do for your birthday where you're from? I never really did much for mine, so I decided to get a room for the night. It's kind of nice here, though it's sort of expensive...

[... He's probably going to go back to sleeping outside tomorrow night. Oh well.]

... Maybe we'll go out to eat or somethi -

[Aaand the Ursaring tackles him, and Tobias is left flailing under a pile of brown fur.]

Rachel! You're too big now! Get off!

[The Ursaring just laughs and Tobias crawls out from under her, turning the video off as her party hat falls and bonks him on the head.]

Well... none of my Pokemon can fly yet. But hopefully they will soon.

Don't worry, they will! Do you like to fly?

Yeah. I really like being out in the air... it's not really like anything else.

[He admits nothiiiiiiing.]

I've always wanted to fly! So getting to actually do it has been probably the coolest thing ever.

Yeah...

[Regal flutters over to him and he grins.]

I bet you'll grow up soon, right?

[Regal tilts his head. He has no idea.]

No doubt he will!

And then we can fly. Maybe on his back, too...

[He misses flying a lot, and Regal nuzzles into him. He knows. He'll do his best!]

I wish you both good luck!

Thanks. For now, maybe I can ride on Rachel. I bet that'd be faster when we get tired.

[He's not exactly the heaviest kid.]

There you go! You'll get places a lot faster that way, that's for sure.

At least tonight we don't have to worry about all of that. ... I think some of them need baths, too.

[Sounds like you've got a fun job ahead, Tobias.]

After all that traveling, probably!

At least they understand me better than my old cat did.

Yeah? I've never had a cat before. What was he like?

He was... nice. I liked him. He would curl up against me when it was cold. He was a good friend to me.

Aw yeah...my dog Cerbee's like that too.

[Jimmy pauses for a minute, tilting his head to the side.]

But he's waiting for you when you get home, isn't he? Like my Cerbee boy. He'll be right there when you get back, like you never left.

... I don't think so. I left home a while ago.

You did? But...you just got to Johto recently, didn't you?

[Jimmy...]

[Jimmy no.]

Yeah. But... it's been about two years since I lived there. And neither my aunt or my uncle are the type to take care of a cat they don't want. He might have run away, and that's... the better option.

....Oh.

[And Jimmy's smile falters. Just a bit.]

I'm sorry, Tobias.

... It's okay. It's not your fault.

[Rachel wraps an arm around him and he pats her, smiling a little sadly.]

I guess I've just been thinking about home a lot today.

A-

[Whatever Jimmy was saying dies a little on his tongue as he glances away. It's very brief, and Tobias might not catch it if he's not paying attention.]

Yeah! Yeah.....me too.

It's natural, right? We're a long way. I mean, I've traveled pretty far before, but... this is different.

[Is it though? Is this so different from being on another planet? Because he's done that before too.]

[Jimmy nods a little in agreement.]

Yeah, that's true...I've never been away from home like this before, so it's...pretty different.

Yeah. But it'll be okay. Like you said, Cerbee will be waiting for you at home.
