[ Lacus's smile today was not as it usually was. Her smile today was a little forced, but determined. Liana was in her arms ... with Altaria not too far behind her. ]

Hello, everyone. I wanted to record this because I thought it would be nice to receive critique for my battling skills. I have a battle at the gym soon and I feel will still need advice.

[ Unlike most of Lacus's posts to the network --- this one as actually planned. Mister Pink was holding the camera again, while Liana the Mawile was with Lacus. She had a very serious and strict look on her face.

When the camera moves again, you will see that they were both facing a large Altaria and he looked just as serious as well. ]

Liana, remember. This isn't practice anymore ...

If you hesitate, I know you're friends ... but ... Altaria will hurt you.

[ Liana responded with a nod and the battle begins. Lacus was acting and doing her best to be the best trainer she could be, doing her best to keep a poker face. But if you look close enough at her hands, you can see that they are shaking. She clenched her hands into a fist when Liana was pushed back and almost fell on her head.

In her heart, she still didn't want to fight. But she knew she had to do what she must. ]

Wait for the right moment, Liana! Then, use Bite!

[ It was oly when the battle was over that Lacus noticed Shiraishi's presence. She was concentrating so much on the battle and practicing on the right timing.

She had to keep herself from going to Liana many times every time she failed to get the right timing.

By the end, they still hadn't managed to get the right timing ... and stopped only because Liana had become to weak to continue. ]

Shi ... Shiraishi?

I didn't know you were here.

Ah... Sorry, I ended up watching the battle. I hope you don't mind.

[Well, it's too late to not watch, anyway.]

Though yeah... I wasn't supposed to be here, in this city.

[ Lacus smiled and shook her head. She was taken by surprise. That was all, but his company is not unwelcome. With Liana at her heels --- she runs towards him. ]

No! Not at all! I don't mind ...

I am happy to finally see you face to face, Shiraishi. I had not expected the two of us to meet here like this.

[A smile.]

I'm happy to see you too, Lacus-san. And I didn't think this would happen either... but I just happened to be transported here while I was sleeping for a week.

It seems such things happen very often here. I know my friends talk about it on the network often.

It is quite mysterious, don't you think?

Usually, they find it very inconvenient because they separate from their friends --- but this time I believe I am embarrassed to say that I am happy it happened.

It really is. Almost like that one weekend no one really remembers about.

Though I'm glad I'm here. I've met people I thought I wouldn't meet in a while. Of course it's sad that I left Aoyagi-kun behind... [A small pause.] Though he isn't even in Johto anymore, apparently.

Yes, that weekend happens quite often I'm told.

Aoyagi? Your friend ... left?

Are you sure? Maybe ... he is just having trouble with his connection?

Aoyagi Ritsuka. I traveled with him to Goldenrod.

[He'll sigh slightly.] If he'd only have trouble with his gear, I wouldn't have gotten one of his Pokémon.

Shiraishi ...

Shiraishi, I am so sorry to hear that. Does that mean you are traveling alone?

I'm sure he's happy about going home... so I'm trying to remain at least a bit positive about it. Even though it will be lonely without him.

Most likely, once I start traveling. Though for now, I'm going stay here and work.

Maybe this is much too soon and I am imposing too much, but I would love for you to join my friends and I in our travels. We may be staying a while here too for work.

I am here for many idol works as well. I am sure Mitsuki won't mind if another person joins us. She is so sweet ... do you know her, Shiraishi?

[He's a little surprised at the suggestion, but it does also make him happy. It's always good to know that he'd be welcome to travel with someone.]

I'll think about it. I'm not sure what my plans really are, so it's hard to tell what I'll do and when.

[At the mention of Mitsuki, he smiles.]

Ah, yes, I do know her. Though she seems to know me better than I do her... but she's a really nice person, too.

I understand. Take your time deciding, but I also know that if you do decide to travel alone, you'll be just fine. Though I would still worry about you getting lost again.

You are always welcome ...

...oh! So you do know her?! Maybe she meet you before the same way I had. I mentioned before, didn't I? That there was an older you that I was acquainted with before.

Ah... I'll be fine as long as I stay out of areas like that, really. No need to worry, Lacus-san!

[He has decided to avoid forests and caves for time being... just in case.]

Yeah, that's how she knows me and why she came to talk to me in the first place. I've met a few others, too, who are like that.
