[The feed opens with a view of an open area and two pokémon seemingly wrestling with each other. There's soft laughter heard in the background as the Hoppip and Vulpix both lunge and retreat at each other in a playful game of cat and mouse. While it seems that the little games is all in good fun the camera lurches forward when the Vulpix gets too close to actually biting the Hoppip.]

No Kurama. You don't hurt your friends.

[And that ladies and gentlemen is Keiko making her grand entrance as she scoops up her fox and flying puffball and returns to the bench camera giving a lovely view of her from her chest up and two stunned looking pokes at being carried back to the bench. On the ground is a couple bags from a completed shopping trip. It was about time for a break and she wanted to give her pokes a chance to play in the sun as opposed to her room at the Inn. She figured if it was healthier for humans it was probably healthier for a pokémon too.

Letting each one go she pats their heads when neither Vulpix nor Hoppip make any attempt to resume their game. She takes that as a good sign and smiles.]

See you two do know how to get along. [She sighs, if she had known that letting them out without any of the rest of her party would end like this she would have given her Pidgey free reign of the skies. As it is she's wondering if maybe she should have named these two after Yusuke and Kuwabara instead. And with that wonderful thought the feed ends.]

Aw, of course they can get along! Your Vulpix just needs to learn a little more restraint, but it looks like you're teaching it to just fine.

[It's perfectly average to her for friends to beat up on each other and get along fine afterward, anyway. It's just that her friends are not adorable little fluffy things.]

Yeah, though he's usually not like that. I'm hoping it was more a case of he was just riled.

[But they're cute and fluffy Maka. Cute and fluffy things should not try to bite each other.]

Maybe! If you're worried about your Hoppip getting hurt, you could always get something that's a little more compatible in size with your Vulpix. Shinx are pretty common around the beginning areas--if that's where you are--and something like a Buneary would be a good companion for the Hoppip.

[Let's just be thankful that the cute and fluffy things aren't eating each other as they technically do in nature, mmmmkay.]

Oh, I have a Shinx. He hatched early last week. I'll look for a Buneary while on the road to Azalea. Until then would a Pidgey or Omanyte work?

[Oh trust that she is. That would leave Keiko more than a little horrified and definitely catatonic.]

Mmm--maybe the Omanyte would work! They're Rock and Water types, so if he gets too rough with it, he can be held at bay.

[...She laughs, it sounds more like she's talking about battle strategies than how to raise adorably rambunctious animals.]

But maybe once he matures a little bit, there won't be a need for that.

That would make sense. Both would have a something to hold the other off for a length of time.

[That's okay, Keiko has been ignore the Trainer handbook since she was whisked off to Violet City. So this is really informative for her regardless.]

That's what I was thinking. Although I'm not sure what I'll do if he's still rambunctious when he gets older.

Oh, I think it'll straighten out as he gets older and you spend time with him. Pokemon are a lot more intelligent than regular animals, I'm sure he could pick up cues for what's acceptable and what's not from you.

That's actually pretty neat to think about. It also says a lot about some of the things I've seen other individuals pokémon do.

Hmm? Are you traveling with someone that's particularly rowdy?

[Her facial expression says it all.] A couple of someones more likely.

Hehe, sounds like there's never a dull moment in your party. I'm used to rowdiness, although the quiet has been nice.

Not really. It's sort of normal though, things weren't much different home either.
