[ The video is shaky, as whichever Pokémon recording trudges through the sand of the beach. The weather in Cianwood is beautiful today--blue sky, blue ocean, white sand and a slight breeze! You can see an orange pool float bobbing up and down on the waves, with a family of electric mice soaking up the sun.

And there's Miles, sitting on the sand.

He's clearly got no agenda to get in the water with the short sleeved shirt he's wearing, or the book lying open on his lap, but he's enjoying summer in his own way. Jason the Cubone is sitting right next to him, diligently building a sand castle. He needs help often, though, so Miles isn't getting much reading done because he keeps having to hold the bucket for his Pokémon or dig a moat with him...

and the camera-mon finally reaches the pair, setting the gear down on an upturned bucket before a Charmander waddles into the screen, plopping herself down on one of her trainer's knees. Miles rubs her head and turns to the camera, picking it up. He's grown used to it recording without him intending to.. :|a

He's in a pretty good mood today. ]

Ken and I've arrived in Cianwood. I could have done without the ferry ride, but this town is quite beautiful. I've never really been to a beach before, either...

I was told on the way here that there's a place called a Safari Zone nearby--what is it, exactly, does anybody know?

... Infants are relatively clean, I'm sure their mothers wouldn't leave them.. dirty..?

[ He is so unsure. ]

My sister is adamant about cleaning her hands after touching anything. Or wearing gloves.

... No, Miles.

Take my word for it.

Babies are gross.

_{[HE IS TWELVE HE DOESN'T KNOW THE TRUTH.]}

[ ELEVEN. Even better. ]

... They're human. It's not like they ooze germs and pus from their pores.

_{[... oh kiddo.]}

... Miles, that's sorta what humans do...

[ He meant it in a very very exaggerated way. Green, slimy pus. ]

Then how are we any different from babies?

Because we don't shit ourselves on a regular basis.

_{[... You... tell it like it is, Heather. Yeah. Just... do that. You are the best influence.]}

... Yes we do.

[ With just, you know, more reason in the body and mind. You still gotta poop. ]

Note the turn of phrase, buddy.

'Shit ourselves' is a phrase pretty much completely reserved for the unintentional.

_{[Does Miles need some cussin' lessons. >:I Heather is starting to think he does.]}

[ ALAS while Ken says crap and kickass, even, Miles does not say anything more than hell or damn it even as an adult. 8( He definitely needs some lessons there. ]

... They're babies. It'll be more gross if you did it. And embarrassing.

Hey, I'm not saying we should like, morally judge them for it. I'm just saying. It's gross. Babies do it. Therefore.

_{[It should be noted that Heather hates babies on an almost primal level. This may or may not be apparent.]}

... They're not going to dirty their candy like that, you know.

C'mon, Miles.

They're babies.

Babies just don't have good hygiene.

_{[Sorry, Miles. Nothing you say will ever make her stop being mean about babies.]}

... I don't think we do, either, after traveling for days between towns without decent showers.

Well, I wouldn't take candy from a big sweaty guy who just emerged from a hole in the side of a mountain, either... just saying.

I shouldn't be receiving hugs from a teenage girl who came sloshing into a nice, clean hotel after running in the rain for days, either. Just saying. [ :|a ]

Well, then it's a good thing babies can't run ya down and hug you like I can, hmmm?

_{[NO REGRETS.]}

I'm not afraid of them like you are.

Hey, who said I was afraid?

Definitely not comfortable with them, at the very least.

Well, THAT I'm not, yes.

Borderline fearful.

Don't tell me how I feel about babies, squirt. You're too young to psychoanalyze people.

I don't need to psychoanalyze you to guess that much.

For someone so intuitive, you seem pretty bad at taking a hint.

...?

[ Yep. ]
