[Hello Network! Long time no see - Molly's been busy with Sights and Wonders, but now having arrived at the point of that winding lovely trip, she presents you all with a video of her grin as she starts recording.]

[There's a sweeping, beautiful plain behind her; sun high in the sky, grass a lovely slightly yellow green, a few scattered trees in the distance. She's slightly out of breath, but there's laughter in her voice when she speaks.]

Look.

[She turns the gear around and she crouches a little, showing clearly a herd of calmly grazing Ponyta. Not far behind them is a group of Stantler - farther still you might notice something Manectric-blue.]

[She zooms in on the Ponyta, though.]

I'm gonna catch one.

[Guess who's having a good time at the Safari Zone? The video zooms back out to let everyone take in the awesomeness of the scene, and then it cuts out. She'll respond to messages once she has indeed caught a pony. Because who on earth doesn't want a pony.]

Best of luck. They're interesting to raise, in my experience.

[walkersystem]

I got one !
hwhat do you mean interesting? are they difficult?

[freshprints]

No, just interesting. I inherited one from a classmate, after he left a while back; their evolved form is Rapidash, whose mane grows longer the faster it runs.

As I recall, he singed his eyebrows a bit, trying out his noble steed.

[While Molly was recording the field of grazing Pokemon, Jimmy had been watching from not too far away, sitting at the base of a tree with Leader curled up beside him as usual. He thought to switch out his team a little so his grazing types could enjoy themselves out here, which explains why a Gogoat and a Zebstrika have their heads to the grass nearby.

Finally there's his newest addition, Clover, whose been a constant fixture for the duration of this trip. She seems to have gotten more than used to Jimmy now, judging by the way she's perched on one shoulder, skittering from one to the other every now and then.

He calls out to Molly when he thinks she's done recording (or almost, anyway), gesturing a little with a half eaten Oran berry in one hand that he'd been feeding the Treecko.]

How you doin' over there, Molly?

[Action]

[walkersystem]

_{[She turns towards him with a wide smile as she puts the gear back into her backpack and digs up one of the Safari Balls they were given on entry. She plays with it a little in her hands, not enlarging it just yet when she comes over to Jimmy.]}

Really good!

I'm gonna catch a Ponyta.

_{[You know, like he hadn't heard this probably three times already. She reaches over lightly to Clover, not touching her but letting her come to her if she wishes.]}

What're you gonna do?

[Action]

[awesmazings]

[He smiles when he feels Clover pad across his shoulders over to the side Molly's approached, stretching her head out to sniff her hand curiously.]

Haha, good luck! I'm gonna watch, that's what I'm gonna do.

[Jimmy grins, tossing the berry from one hand to the other.]

You've still got your bait with you, right? They'll probably come closer if you toss some out.

[fourwayconnection]

You got it, right!?

[Kirikou, calm the fuck down, you're not the one catching it.]

[walkersystem]

_{[Does this grin tell you yes? It should tell you yes. She's smiling so wide, man.]}

Yes!

It was pretty tricky but look!

_{[And then of course she lifts a hand to show him the pokéball.]}

video;

[fourwayconnection]

Nice! I'd give you a hi-five if, like, we weren't on the Gears.

What are you gonna name it?

video;

[bylight]

It's been a while, Molly. Looks like you're enjoying yourself.

[Lightning has a small smile on her face. She nods to Molly before sweeping her camera over to a Ponyta grazing not to far from her.]

They're very reliable Pokémon. I didn't catch mine, though. Arvakr was hatched. I don't recommend trying to pet the mane of yours until it gets used to you. It might burn you if it doesn't trust you.

video;

[walkersystem]

Yeah! We've been travelling.

_{[She waves a hi to Lightning, happy to see her, and smiles wider at the sight of the other Ponyta.]}

Oh, okay. Thanks! I haven't let mine out yet. I'll be careful though.

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[He remembers Molly! Oh no this is adorable. He hopes she catches it.]}

My friend has one of those.

[video]

[walkersystem]

_{[She totally caught it. Just look at that Ponyta standing next to her!]}

Me too!

_{[So delighted, when she gives him a little wave.]}

Who's your friend?

[scratchitti]

I wonder if they like apples like normal horses do?

[text]?

[walkersystem]

I don't knw! but when I get some I'll try and I can tell you

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

...Guess they don't bother you, huh.

[because even after nearly five years there is still something about horses on fire that he can't get his head around]

[Video]

[walkersystem]

_{[Sorry what? You mean this isn't the most amazing thing? She's not even following, but she smiles anyway.]}

Well I think we're the ones bothering them. Cause they live here and all.

[Video]

[wing_attack]

Oh - be careful. I don't have one, but some people say they're good for riding.

[He's not exactly eager to try, but he likes the air more than the ground anyway.]

[Video]

[walkersystem]

I was super careful! I caught one!

_{[LOOK AT HOW HAPPY SHE IS.]}

It'd be really cool if I could ride her when she grows up.

video;

[shuttermouse]

Did you catch it?

[ Chie's sitting somewhere on what appears to be a rooftop as she starts the video feed, with a Snivy draped across her lap. ]

video;

[walkersystem]

Yeah! Here, look.

_{[She turns to show a Ponyta standing next to where she's sitting in the grass, gently buffing her shoulder.]}

I don't know what to name her yet though.

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Hey, I've never been out there. Looks like a nice place.

[Even Envy can appreciate some nice scenery when he sees it. And he's still just awkwardly trying to not be a total jerk in Molly's direction.]

You gonna learn to ride yours when you catch it?

[video]

[walkersystem]

_{[Hey, he's doing pretty okay with that. Molly responds a lot easier to him this time with an excited smile.]}

Yeah, I hope so! If somebody can teach me. It'd be really cool.

[video]

[presentyourbadge]

That horse is definitely on fire.

[Phoenix has had a limited experience with horses. The experiences have been sub-par, at best.]

How would you even be able to ride it? Do you think there are fire-proof saddles in Johto?

[...then again, there are an abundance of fire-related Pokemon that magically don't seem to burn their trainers, so it could just be some sort of universal phenomenon.]

[video]

[walkersystem]

They don't burn you if they trust you!

_{[She says this brightly and naturally, no longer questioning the world. Or at least not as much as she used to.]}
