[ As the video screen blips on, you are treated to a dirt road and a row of trees that both stretch into the distance. The scene is tinged in an orange hue, as it is late in the afternoon already. ]

There we go, I think I got it working.

[ The camera swivels around to a girl with brown hair wearing two ribbons, smiling wide. ]

Haruka Amami here, and umm, this is day one on our journey through Johto! [ she raises a fist into the air with a "Yeah!", though she's the only one cheering... ] It's been a long day, hasn't it? I woke up in someone's bed and some nice lady thought I was her daughter, but kicked me out of her house! And then a distinguished man came and told me about pokemon, and then we've been walking ever since. Oh!

[ The camera turns to another long brown-haired girl, traveling beside Haruka. ]

You're live, Iori-chan! Say hello!

[ The other girl, in turn, looks much worse for wear. There's nothing that can accurately describe her expression other than Grumpy as she slogs along beside Haruka, dragging her feet as if every step were a pain. A cute bunny plush hangs from her arm as she holds it close like a security blanket, its ears and feet bouncing along with them. ]

Haruka, quit messing around already! Kgh... My feet are tired! I can't believe we have to walk this entire path. Can't they even afford a driver to take us from place to place?

[ OH WAIT OH SHIT CAMERA'S ON. Iori pulls out of her angry slump in a panic, hurriedly fussing with her hair and clothes to make herself look more presentable to the public eye. And then idol magic happens. ]

Ah, um, hello everybody ♥! It's none other than the world's most beautiful Super Idol, Minase Iori-chan, leader of Super Idol unit Ryuuguu Komachi! It's okay to get excited. After all, you're looking at the face of perfection here!

Let's all work hard and win all the badges so we can go home, okay~? Cute and Perfect Iori-chan and her team will do their very best too! Nihihi~♪

[ ... And how incredible idol magic really is! Which prompts Haruka’s next comment: ] Nnnn, Iori-chan, your group is super talented!

Do you think there is time for everyone to go karaoke together? That would be just so much fun! [ Let's not ignore the elephant in the room, Haruka. ] ... Singing is fun, but I think getting all of the badges would be the best!

[ Haruka turns the camera back on herself. ]

Everyone!! Let's give it our all to be top trainers! If we give it our 100% there's nothing we can't achieve--gyah!!

[ Suddenly, Haruka trips, bobbling and dropping the feed, still on, now recording Haruka awkwardly stumbling and losing her balance, headed toward a sturdy tree, and then--*THACK!!!!*

... Haruka effectively headbutts the tree (with her face), and a Spinarak is dislodged from an upper branch, falling onto Haruka's back and sticking to her jacket. Doesn't seem like she knows, though... ]

[At first, Iori just sighs in exasperation. It seems like Haruka's clumsiness wasn't exactly unexpected. But-

Iori steps back. And then steps back again. And again.]

H-Haruka.... You're... That's- Ahhhh!!

[And then this little idol ran far far away...]

Ouch ouch ouch ouch... [ Haruka peels her face off the tree. Iori's wailing prompts Haruka to hurry! ]

Eh?... Iori...chan?

[ Haruka turns toward her fellow idol and away from the camera, giving you a glimpse of the Spinarak stirring from its slumber.

The feed cuts out. ]

[ ... However, instead of despair or anything despondent, Haruka smiles again. ]

Wow, I bet you've made a lot of really fun memories and met a lot of really neat people here in a whole year!

[ For Lacus, it doesn't feel very long at all. Except those times when she is pining for Kira, but she wouldn't have the heart to tell anyone that. ]

Amazing, isn't it?

And I have. You'd be amazed how wonderful the people are here.

[ She missed home A LOT though, but she has always been strong and independent in her own way. ]

You will too.

Nnn! I hope I will as well! This may be all new to me, but I'm going to do my very best with this--ah!

[ She rubs the back of her head again and smiles sheepishly. ]

I can't do this without your support, of course! We're all in this together anyway!

Ah-

[ Not even going to voice out too much surprise anymore at her accident. She did understand that it was simply part of Haruka now to trip over nothing. ]

I will support you any way I can. I am actually going to Violet very soon. Maybe I will see you there?

I appreciate it very much! Thank you so much!

[ Haruka bows toward the feed enthusiastically. ]

Umm, I think we're going there... But knowing my friends they might take their time getting around! Violet is still a ways away from us, but I'll be on the look out for you. Count on it!

I will look for you while we're there, Haruka-chan.

[ It would be nice to finally meet her. She had seen Haruka many times through the gear --- well, maybe ... not this Haruka, but the heart is still the same she believed.

Lacus returns the bow. ]

I would be excited to meet you all! Until then, please take care of yourselves, okay?

I will!

[ What a pleasant experience! Haruka waves politely before the feed blips off. ]
