*Today's broadcast is brought to you by one of Sion's pokemon! Flourish the serperior, from the sound of it and the way the camera rocks side to side as it's carried about.

But in any case, the video opens to show the interior of the Azalea Town pokemon center, with Sion picking up his belongings as he's preparing to leave for the day, when he's shyly approached by a young woman....*

U-um, excuse me...

Yes?

Oh, I was just wondering... Since I've seen you around here a lot, and you seem to be a good trainer.... Maybewouldyougooutwithme?

*Sion blinks at that, then gives a wry, apologetic smile*

Ah... You have my sincerest apologies, but I'm afraid I haven't the time to spare for such things. I assure you, the fault lies with me; there is no shortcoming on your part to be concerned with.

But...

*oh, this is getting good; Flourish sidles closer with the camera with a soft sserrr... while Sion shakes his head*

No, it simply would not work. I hope you have a good evening.

*and with that he turns to leave, and Flourish hastily moves to hide the 'gear behind his back, though as the camera's still rolling this simply gives a nice dizzying view of things to accompany the sound*

No, I understand.... So it's true then, you are together with that sleepy-eyed guy you're always hanging out with!

*NOW Flourish laughs, dropping the 'gear in the process, and catching a glimpse of Sion's shocked expression as it tumbles*

What? I beg your--Flourish! What are you doing with that!

*....and on that note, the 'gear FINALLY bumps into something that hits the off button, ending the feed*

[Please don't mind as the aforementioned sleepy-eyed guy, who is currently over at the PC doing his usual drawing straws thing, hears this and chokes up.]

*you'll have to give him a moment while he assures this lady that she's mistaken and retrieves his 'gear from Flourish*

[Oh, don't worry, he's kind of too busy trying to remember how to breathe from the sheer out-of-left-field-ness of that accusation to even try saying anything to Sion at the moment.

Rose, who's on his shoulder, is looking at him curiously, but doesn't seem to get the problem here.]

*well, now that he's taken care of things as best he can manage he's giving a glance in your direction*

Let's go, Ryner.

*aaaand heading out himself without another word like he just EXPECTS you to follow or something

....which probably totally isn't helping impressions any*

[No, it probably isn't...

Ryner somehow manages to catch his voice somewhere, and his immediate response is, naturally, flustered.]

Ahhhh, can't you at least give me two minutes to finish up over here?

*just gives him a look at that, hasn't he had enough time already?*

[Hey, let's be fair, it's not his fault some girl decided to hit on you. >_>;;

Either way though, he'll just take a minute to finish up, then. He really was almost done.

After which he will follow with a still-flustered grumble.]

*Sion will already be outside by the time Ryner finishes because like he was going to stay in there after all that, but he is waiting nearby, half-crouched to pet Dusk while he waits*

[walking out and giving Rose a pat]

So, where to?

I had been planning to continue where we left off yesterday, but I wonder if there's really much to be gained from postponing leaving for Ecruteak any longer.

What, you don't care for propositions from girls? I'm shocked.

[said in a teasing tone]

*just gives him a look*

I meant that at this point, I doubt a few days will make much difference in our work.

Well yeah, can't say I disagree with that. Besides, Ecruteak's got a pretty good library too. For Johto, anyway.

There is that as well. And a rather better selection of wine.

Ahh, well, there's nothing keeping me here, whenever you want to leave.

We should probably take today to wrap things up, at least.

Yeah, probably. And maybe avoid the Center if we can.

Or simply stop by early in the morning.

*and thus avoid most people*

That'd mean getting up early though...

And?

Some of actually need a lot of sleep, y'know.

An early start to traveling is more important, you know.

'Course you'd say that.

And it will go faster when there's fewer people, after all.

I guess.

[He'd still rather sleep in though.]
