004: Date - July 12th - [Video/Action for the train]
[The feed opens not to pale eyes and Neji's customary frown, but Meditite. Apparently she's dug out his pokedex out of boredom while on the train to Kanto--as the angle of her grip should make it obvious.
She says a few rambling things looking at the camera, expression intent and tone off--almost as if she's copying Neji's usual tone--before Neji's actual voice comes from off camera.]
Come here with that. [While the words are short and to the point, there's a certain gentleness to the tone which may not have been heard by the network at large yet, and the Meditite immediately wanders over to hand it to him.
For those who neither recognize his voice nor his pokemon, some may at least recognize the pale lavender eyes that frown at the screen once he has it. Upon realizing it's on, he sighs.]
...Who were you attempting to reach?

ACTION
Meditite gleefully reaches for the berry once offered--as Neji would presume anyone who ate only one berry a day would, when presented with that food. Once food becomes involved the Swablu, who for reasons he can't yet figure out has taken to nesting under his hair whenever she wants to sleep instead of on his head, peeks her head out and squawks.]
Yosuzume. [He never officially picked a name for the bird, he'd just started calling it that because he felt obligated to call the infant bird something while teaching it to be less frustrating. So Yosuzume it is.] If you cannot be polite, you don't deserve any berries.
[Oh right, Rockets.] Only 'thought'?
ACTION
Though the laughter fades at the mention of the Rockets, and her gaze turns out the window.]
Yeah. It was back in March. Some Rocket-guy named Bowser held a grudge against Sasuke -- something about Sasuke destroying a piece of equipment of his when Bowser was attacking Goldenrod last year? -- and once he figured out that our forehead protectors meant we were all going to support each other, he let the whole organization know what Sasuke looked like and that he was an enemy of theirs.
And then a woman who was calling herself Tsunade-sama -- I don't think she was the real one though, she's gone now and nothing like the one who arrived a couple weeks ago -- revealed to them that our forehead protectors meant we were all connected and broadcast it publicly to try to help, but it just meant that any Rocket knew how to find us if they wanted. So we all ran for a safehouse in Olivine and tried to go into hiding.
Didn't really work though, I mean, Bowser found us by accident a few weeks later, but we fought him and drove him off. But I'm starting to think that was a bluff, because nothing's happened to us since. And Bowser seems to be gone now, too.
[She takes a breath and glances to him finally now that she's finished explaining, quirking an eyebrow to see how he'd react. It's long, but important (to her, at least) and considering that during that high-stress time for all of them is when she got closer to Sasuke...? It seems pretty relevant, too.]
ACTION
He's more than willing to allow the bird to go without, but given that Tenten has already gone through the trouble of digging out the berry, he supposes he can relent this one time.
Although, he does wait and listen to her first. So...an organization much like rogue-nin they've dealt with that temporarily targeted all the weakened shinobi...because of Sasuke. Yet another reason for him to disapprove of the child.
The Tsunade-imitator is also interesting. Just who might pretend to be Tsunade and why, when henge is no option, and any shinobi from the appropriate timeframe would clearly recognize her as an impostor?
Once she glances back at him, he holds up his hand for Yosuzume to step onto, allowing her within potential reach of the berry without having to stretch from his hair quite so much.] You may have it only if she offers it and you take it politely, Yosuzume.
[That dealt with, he turns his attention back to Tenten.] So all of the shinobi were on the run at the same time. Why not deal with the Rockets together? Unless they possess chakra?
ACTION
So she waits for Neji to give the all-clear before huffing a quiet laugh of amusement through her nose and extending her hand to let the little bird finally take the berry. They looked pretty wimpy, Swablu, but once they evolved they were pretty badass. Not that Neji's would evolve any time soon, if what she'd seen of his so-called training was any indication.
She keeps her attention on the Swablu as she answers, with the kind of tired air that shows that this isn't the first time she's said as much,] No one has any Chakra here, Neji. Including us. I lost one of my knives -- like the ones I gave you -- by hitting one of Bowser's Machamps in the eye. It worked, but seriously, Neji, some of the Pokémon around here aren't something you can really mess around with without reinforcements. That's part of why I had to travel all the way across the continent, because I wasn't dumb enough to think I could take them all on by myself.
