[When the feed begins, the image is a bit blurry and shaky as the Igglybuff holding it can barely stand still, it's just too heavy. It's pretty amazing that she hasn't dropped it yet, actually. The image may be far from perfect but there's definitely nothing wrong with audio:]

Open the door! It's so unfair!! And you're calling yourself a mother?!

[Is she's going to hold a grudge on this "mom" person for not letting her eat breakfast? Yes.

Then, Igglybuff cries out, trying to get the yelling girl's attention, but with no luck. However, the Pokémon finally finds a way to steady the image a little by putting the Pokégear on the ground, while she holds its both sides. The image finally becomes more focused; there's a girl standing in front of the door...and she's about to kick them when Igglybuff squeaks once again, louder this time. Only then she gives Igglybuff her attention.]

Is something wrong? H-Hey, when did you turn that on?

[She leaps forward to cover the camera with both of her hands. What an introduction. After clearing her throat twice, she pulls her hands away and flashes a grin.]

Umm...sorry about that? Anyway! I'm Kaori Miyazono, I've just arrived here...and I'm not sure what to do? All I know is that I'm supposed to go on an adventure!

[It seems like she has already accepted the situation she found herself in...]

Easy peasy!

[She'll see to it if it's really that easy sooner or later. Snuggling part definitely sounds best.]

Yep, that's right...I'm way less confused than I was a while ago, thanks to you!

We should meet some time, too! After I get my cat, maybe?

Sure, that'd be great. Want to make it a feline playdate? I've got a Persian that would love to teach a newly-caught cousin how to most efficiently beg for food, and how to open the fridge silently.

[...Is that supposed to be a reason to meet up, or a reason to stay very far away...?]

Awesome! I'll let you know when I find one! I just hope I won't end up with all my Pokémon being cats...

[The chances that it'll happen are pretty high, though.]

At least I'll know who to blame when one day I'll wake up with absolutely no food in my bag...

[Despite saying that, she doesn't mind at all. Moreover, she's grinning.]

Hey, waking up with no food in just your bag is a sign that you have very reasonable Pokémon. With certain species, you have to consider yourself lucky if there's any food left within a kilometre.

[Snorlax, he's looking at you.]

Is having a full team of cats truly so bad? Unless you'd really like to train birds and fish, too...

W-What...hey, I've been called a glutton a few times in my life, but this...?!

[What species are capable of doing something like that?]

Oh, I didn't mean it as a bad thing! I just don't want to discriminate other Pokémon.

[But cats...the struggle is real.]

Snorlax is a delightful creature and a wonderful travel mattress. Snorlax is also likely to eat you out of house and home, if given half a chance.

[Or just a hundredth of a chance, for that matter.]

How kind. They're somewhat used to it, though. Many trainers have favorite types or species.

[Kaori's holding her breath at Snorlax is also likely to eat you, glad to hear that it isn't the end of the sentence.]

I bet it snores too, given its name...

[What a good deduction.]

I don't think I can openly say that I love cats, you know...

[She's subtly pointing at Igglybuff when it's not looking.]

[Ash nods with a smile.]

Let's just it's not called the Sleeping Pokémon for nothing. Gullet even managed to fall asleep while he was surfing down a river.

[Funtimes, funtimes.]

Point taken. That's just asking for bruises, or a midnight assassination attempt.

I think she'd like some attention...

[Igglybuff has been restlessly squirming in her arms for a while now and Kaori really can't tell what's going to happen if she lets her feel ignored.

She heard about flamethrower, after all. What if Igglybuff could somehow learn it without that disc when she'll become really angry?

~~This is not how it works, Kaori...~~]

I guess I'll talk to you later! And thanks for the advice again!

[Of course it's not. Igglybuff running off to secretly buy the TM behind Kaori's back is much more likely.]

You're welcome! Good luck on the road, and don't let the rats look through your bag!
