[Sadie's cheeks are a bit pink when the camera comes on, but she is smiling, if a bit awkwardly. She clears her throat as she adjusts to make sure her full face is visible on the screen. Once satisfied, she gives a little wave.]

Hey there. I've never really done one of these video blog things... that's really more of Ronaldo's thing. Heh, I bet he'd sure have a lot to say if he were here. But, anyway, I guess this is how you're supposed to talk to people here so I guess I might as well give it a go!

So... my name's Sadie, I just got here, I'm from Beach City in Delmarva and I work at a place called the Big Donut. Uh, my favorite show is Canine Court, I like Hayley Fleet and my favorite donut is Beantown creme. [She pauses for a moment, thinking about what to say next.] Oh! [She picks up the 'gear and turns the camera around to focus on munchlax, who is sitting propped up against her backpack, wearing a green breeder's headband and contentedly munching on an oran berry.] I guess I should introduce my little buddy here, too. I named him Herb, because he reminds me a little bit of my grandpa. He really likes those berries. [She turns the camera to face herself again, a significantly closer shot now that she's holding it.] Anyway, I guess that's about it. Nice to meet everyone! [Click.]

[It's always refreshing to see newbies so calm and collected. It beats having to calm them down, explain everything, and hope they take it well. But here she is, casually talking about herself, not too fazed by her partner. Posts like these are often the minority, so it naturally catches Riku's attention.

So here we have a young man of about twenty, with shoulder-length silver hair and a smile on his face.]

Heh. Can't say I've heard of any of those shows, but half the programming here's about Pokémon. Not that it's terrible, but you might want to buckle down for some seriously bad puns.

That's what these guys are called, right? [She read her trainer handbook okay?] So this place is really just full of them?

More like it revolves around them. Books, movies, culture... These guys are ingrained in everything. It's gotten to a point where kids go off on Pokémon journeys instead of staying in school.

[Which is pretty wild, and it sure doesn't explain where the Professors got their education. He should know better than to question it, yet he can't help himself.]

Really? They're that important? How does anybody learn anything?

Hmm, it's a tough call. I know Violet City's got a trainer's school, and Viridian City's got a pretty huge library. Pewter's got a museum, but I've barely seen anything on math, language, economics, or any of the important subjects.

[He rubs his temple and gives a small shrug.]

I've found that it's easiest to just suspend your disbelief, but even I have trouble doing that. But if you don't mind a little weirdness, it's not a bad place to be.
