1 | Route 29 -> Cherrygrove

[The feed begins with a normal sight: a pokémon tinkering with the pokégear. It's a ledyba, which is strange considering how cold the weather has been these last few ~~weeks~~ days. Stranger still are its surroundings. No warm rooms for this little buggy, it's exploring the great outdoors! ...A bug-type? Wandering in the snowy outdoors? Without its trainer? From the lopsided view of the camera, the ledyba seems only steps outside of Cherrygrove City. It continues wandering until it comes towards the city's entrance.]

Ledyba. [The small pokémon hurries towards the voice and calls back with its own name. From its position on the ground, only so much of the world around it can be seen. The lower half of a young boy approaches it, his steps lithe even in thick snow. From the waist up he cannot be seen but a smile can still be heard in his voice.] Ledyba. What are you doing here?

[The pokémon and its camera hobble towards the boy, only to meet with a swift kick of his boot. The camera spirals backward and the ledyba with it.] I said go back to the old man! Get out of here, stupid!

[The boy doesn't kick it again. He kneels down beside it, his face easily seen now. He seems almost remorseful, as he reaches down to touch the ledyba. He picks up the pokémon by two of its limbs and stands up.] You know I don't like doing things like this, ledyba, but if you don't become stronger how am I supposed to have you follow me? You couldn't even fight against that rat. Maybe you're no better than bait. Is that it, ladybird?

[Ledyba shakes its head which entices a laugh from its trainer. Satisfied, Alois starts to walk back towards the city only to stop in his tracks. The pokégear was directly underfoot. With a smile, he picks it up and shuts off the feed.]

[WHY DOES HE FEEL LIKE HE KNOWS THIS GUY]

Oi oi, don't kick your Pokemon.

_{[Iris the every caring soul is horrified by the whole scene. But she's determined to believe that Alois didn't really mean anything by it. After all, he's a boy, and boys are supposed to be sweet and innocent.]} I'm sure Ledyba is trying it's best! Please don't hurt it! It sometimes takes a long time for Pokemon to become stronger.

... Mii. Doing things like that will not make it stronger.

Hey, hey, hey, what do ya think you're doin'? That ain't gonna help it get any stronger, kid!

They don't go away when you kick them, kid, trust me on that one.

[Guess who just saw all of that happen, as she was out taking a walk? Cue one very stunned lady, holding a sleeping Togepi.]

...

[Just this face.]

[Well, she was a distance away, so she didn't see everything, but she did see the boy kick his bug. She frowns as she walks over to go scold him. Meanwhile, her Smoochum runs up and hides behind her leg and peeks over from behind! Probably because she's ~~encountered a pretty boy~~ scared.]

Hey! That's not nice to do to your pokemon!

[ She's frowning so deeply now at the display of abuse. While she hasn't been here long, such blatant disregard and cruelty never did sit well with her. It reminded her of... ]

That isn't right.

[She smirks mockingly.]

They won't go away no matter how loud you yell at them or how cruelly you treat them. Trust me, I've tried.

Ah-! You shouldn't...! [Hey Alois, see this girl? This girl that looks exactly like Ciel, except not as Angsty McEmo?

Right now she looks a little shocked and incredulous] Why would you kick it?

[Well, if it isn't the creepy stalker boy who has a sort of weird crush on him. The look on his face is not pleased.]

Hey, that isn't nice. Of course she isn't strong...you're supposed to train her, you know.
