[Nagisa seems really happy today. She's wearing her blue stage uniform again today, and she can't seem to stop smiling.]

You know what feels really good? Doing something nice for a couple of friends, who have done a lot for you. So. Chieri, Shinji-kun? Keep an eye out, okay? I got you both an egg from the Breeding Centre! Come find me and I'll tell you all of the details.

[Nagisa smiles brightly.]

And don't either of you say no! I wanted to do it and I've been careful about money, so it's just fine. Okay?

[After a minute, she hums a little to herself - just a few notes, not breaking out into song just yet. Still, it's a pretty peppy melody.]

Anyway, I also have a question for everyone else! I think I might be getting close to being ready for my first Gym Battle! I'm kind of nervous, though. I know Falkner uses Flying Types, so Kaze, my Pidgey, is out. and I have Yuuko, who's a bred Vulpix at level 11 with Will O' Wisp and Flamethrower, Dii-chan, who's level 12 with Pound, Growl, Refresh, and Double Slap, and Hashi, who's a bred Piplup and level 10, with Agility, Growl, Pound, and Bubble.

Do you think that'll be enough, or should I train a little more? I have a Ledyba, but Bug types are weak against Flying, and I got myself a Shinx from the Breeding Centre, but it'll still have to hatch. I can try and catch something around here, too...

I mean, this is like an opening day. I want to be as ready as I can be, you know?

It definitely does. Making my friends smile is something that's always made me happy.

Mm. Yeah, I've heard that from a few people. I'd thought it was lower, because the Pokemon you can catch around here are a lot lower. I got a little bit excited too soon, I guess...but that's okay. It just means practice harder, right?

Mm, yeah! Just train some more and your hard work will pay off when you and your Pokémon defeat Falkner.

Though, if you're looking for another Pokémon to catch, maybe a Mareep? They're electric sheep, and you can find them just outside of Violet.

I'll definitely do that, then. Thank you!

Awwww! That sounds adorable! Just outside Violet, you said? I think I'd want to catch one even if they weren't so strong...

[ Naegi nods. ] I saw a flock of them when I was out on Route 32 earlier today. They're easy to find.

[Nagisa pauses for just a second.]

...you don't think they mind being taken away from their flock, right? Maybe I'm going from one extreme to the other, first being over-excited and then worrying over nothing...

That depends on the individual Pokémon, doesn't it? I've noticed that some wild Pokémon are eager to find a trainer, so there are probably others that don't want one at all. If you happen to catch one that wants to stay with its flock, then it would most likely just try to leave you.

So it's all about listening to them, in the end? Well, it's a good thing my starter Pokémon was an Audino! Dii-chan has helped me figure out what a lot of Pokémon are feeling, and she and I communicate really well. I'm sure she'll be able to help me figure it out.

Hey, thank you for all your help. I don't think I ever caught your name - I'm Nagisa Motomiya. It's nice to meet you!

Audinos seem to be good at that, I've noticed. I own one and he's really good at understanding my other Pokémon.

It's nice to meet you too, Motomiya-san! My name's Makoto Naegi. I'm glad 'I could help.

They're pretty special, aren't they? I love them for that.

Thank you for everything, Naegi-kun! I'm glad we met, and hey. I made a new friend today, too! Always a good bonus.
