Y-You meanie...!

[ Oh, it's that oddly familiar crying. Need I state why you're hearing this sound again, Johto? Probably not--those white sneakers on the screen definitely belong to the crybaby gym leader of Goldenrod, and there are only so many situations in which she cries. As the camera keeps rolling, Miles' voice speaks up, sounding more impatient than usual. ]

Miss, there's no use crying. I won, can I please just--

You meanie, you bully--!

You'll have to wait a little until she stops crying to get your badge, honey, she always gets like this.

I know that. [ Miles sounds so upset right now, it's actually a bit funny. Jason, who's holding the camera, turns around while the shota keeps talking. There's Remus over by Ken (who looks like he's trying hard not to laugh--maybe at Miles troubling over the crying Whitney), having a celebratory party with Romulus and their baby, Perseus, and Pess and Pip are nearby, too. He turns back around to Miles just as he finishes talking. ] I know she cries, and I'll wait for my badge, but this is beyond the-- I want my clothes back.

Oh, but you look so cute right now! [ The girls from the gym are all speaking up and arguing about giving Miles back his clothes, but Miles is just as adamant 8( You can't blame him, though--

Jason raises the camera to show more than just Miles' feet. If your'e watching this feed, you'll see that Miles is wearing a dress.

Yes. A dress. The lasses and ladies at the gym thought he was a girl. 8( ]

You should totally keep wearing it! You'll be a perfect match with that little girl we put the tiara on and--

I want my clothes. Now. [ and a click! as Jason decides THIS IS BORING and turns off the camera to go play with Nemesis-- ]

[ EXTRA BROADCAST: from later in the evening. ]

[ Now it is time for Remus to be a proud papa. You know those parents that like to take videos of their babies? Of their babies doing absolutely nothing at all? Remus is like that, and since his trainer is sulking anyway, he's gotten his hands on the Gear and is recording his and Romulus' baby.

Percy the Minun is rolling around the hotel room, poking Nemesis and Growling, getting dragged away from Castor while Growling, running at Pip and Kirby and Growling, hugging Romulus and Growling at Cara who is nearby. He even Growls at the monster-looking thing created by a pile of pillows. And a lamp. And eventually coming to a stop near the Great Orange Wall named Pess, he Growls at her, too.

And all he does is Growl at her. For fifteen minutes. ]

Isn't he great?? [ 8DDDD Remus is a Proud Papa. ]

[ Johto's weather is simply atrociously bipolar. Very, terribly bipolar.

Which is probably why today is forty degrees (Fahrenheit) hotter than it was yesterday and Miles Edgeworth is not wearing his usual shirt-and-jacket attire. No. He's rather comfortable in this weather wearing a short-sleeved shirt and sitting outside on the Goldenrod street without a hat, just lazying on the bench.

It's really nice that those bugs are gone - he faired better than some, but a certain Growlithe had thrown one of those Pinecos in his face, and that darn bug had detonated, so Miles has a bandaid on his forehead as well a gauze against his burned cheek. Gdmit Pip. 8|

But Pip doesn't really care about that because hey, Miles is alive and he was well enough to drag Pip back to the Pokémon center after that WHY SHOULD HE BE WORRIED. So he's frolicking about, chasing his own tail and... looking pretty refreshed. Because spring has come, and Miles had taken Pip and Pess to get a trimming. Pip's got short hair now, and he's pretty darn happy about this. Fuck yeaaahhhhhh.

But his mom? Oh. Oh. Oh Pess isn't very happy about this. She was so proud of her fur, Miles, sure it was really warm but SHE WAS SO PROUD. And the trimming is fine, she's sure she'll grow to like it... but still. So she's sulking, a very, very sulky Arcanine lying next to the bench Miles is sitting on, sending him sulky glares every now and then.

In the meanwhile, as Miles fiddles with his Gear and keeps turning on and off the text option, Remus the Plusle, Nanako's old Squirtle, Jason the Cubone and Cara the Charmander are enjoying ice cream.

It's... really nice that there are no exploding bugs anymore. But there are some important, serious things Miles has been thinking about since those Pokémon started causing trouble. A certain pair of videos had caught his attention, and though Miles didn't particularly respond to one, Miles Edgeworth can't leave certain things alone.

Certain things.. like criminals that get away with their crimes. With a sigh, he opens up his Gear and types in a few words. ]

( Here is a text. )

Current Location: Goldenrod City

[ It has been a good two weeks now since Miles and Ken got lost in the Ilex forest. However, as stated in our last airing of Shotas in Johto a few days back, the two boys have found their way to an actual path thanks to Pess ~~remembering that she was a dog~~. After getting out of the forest, shoving the ever-jumpy Polydeuces, the ever-woobie Jason, a dazed Nyx, and the excited rest of their Pokémon onto Pess' back, climbing aboard themselves, and using the Pess Express for the rest of the way back to Goldenrod.... was a breeze.

Saturday: They stumbled into the city, still a bit giggly at how easy this now was, and after (a mental cheering of CIVILIZATION. CIVILIZATION) checking into the hotel and dumping their luggage, taking turns at showering - they made sure their Pokémon got cleaned up as well (minus Pess, who Miles took to the groomers in the Tunnel later) - both boys made their way to the Pokémon Center. Miles would now be working there again.

His plans for Goldenrod go as follows, in no specific order apart from #1:

1. Take a shower.
2. Punt Layton for getting stuck in an elevator.
3. Give Nanako her gift(s).
4. Send out all the White Day gifts (never mind that he isn't Japanese or even remotely close to it).
5. Get a job (because Franziska's brooch cost quite a bit).

And then, Sunday came. And guess who has finally gotten himself a new Pokégear after that last one took a misfortunate dive into the Slowpoke Well? Him. And Remus the Plusle is ecstatic that he can use this whenever he wants, now, without his trainer reprimanding him to make sure he asked Ken first (ffffff o9 ).

So this fine, fine Sunday, Johto will for the first time in weeks get a video post from a Pokégear from (1) Miles Edgeworth, and the feed opens up to show the boy crouched on the street by a vending machine, placing a can of lemonade into the reaching hands of a curious Charmander. Today is Cara's first day walking around in a big city, and it could be assumed that she'd pointed out the mysterious vending machine to Miles during her adventuring.

Remus records this scene for a few more seconds before, realizing that nothing special was really going to happen, he starts to pan the camera, searching for something interesting--

and finds a Box-n-Bag Monster.

A walking Box-n-Bag Monster.

A Box-n-Bag Monster who is coming closer to them, and trips ( "Ah--!" ) and nearly drops her boxes and shopping bags all over Miles when she is a couple feet away.

Needless to say, this is Miles, so he's already on his feet and helping this Box-n-Bag Monster with her luggage by the time she even trips, so there's one shota arm catching the toppling boxes, and the other shota arm reaching out to steady the little girl who tripped. ]

Are you alright?

Ah - yes, thank you... oh! Miles!

[ The little flustered looking girl that looks up at her savior is (1) Nanako Dojima , who smiles brightly in that cute Nanako way as she straightens herself, fixing her hold on the shopping bags that she managed not to drop. ]

You finally made it to Goldenrod! I'm glad.. you (and Ken both) have to be careful not to get lost again.

[ Miles shakes his head, hoisting the boxes more comfortably in his arms, when Nanako raises hers to carry them again. ] I'm sorry we worried you. We're fine now, but I'm worried you'll trip again. I'll help you carry these.

Oh..! [ Nanako smiles a little wider, and there's a giggle. ] Thank you, Miles! I just need to take these back to our hotel!

[ The camera is still recording as Cara, lemonade still held carefully in her hand, climbs up to Miles shoulder and perches herself atop one of the boxes (keeping herself on by clinging to a strand of Mile's hair) and the two children smile at each other and begin walking in the direction Nanako had been going. Remus follows.

A few minutes pass of idle chitter chatter, until Miles at his friend with curiosity. ] Say, Nanako, what are these boxes for?

Oh, these are for Big Bro! [ Nanako looks very, very proud of herself. ] It's his birthday today, so Dad and I are going to throw him a big party!

[ There is a short, short pause as Miles, who hasn't celebrated his birthday with anyone since DL-6, tilts his head thoughtfully because oh hey-- ] Today is your brother's birthday, too?

Yeah! Well, he's not really my brother.. he's my cousin, but he's like my big brother and it's his birthday toda--! [ She stops, then blinks. ] "Too"?

[ Birthdays aren't much of a big deal for Miles, especially not his own. He nods at Nanako's question like there's nothing wrong. ] I was born on the twentieth, as well.

[ And then the usually cheerful Nanako stops in her tracks, smile fading. Remus halts as well, and Miles stops a moment later, turning to her with another, quizzical tilt of his head. ]

Is something the matter, Nanako?

[ There is no response from the little girl to that question, but Remus' camera is still recording, and her face is quite visible. There was a thoughtful linefais she'd inherited from her detective father, a linefais when Miles affirmed her suspicions, but now that she's learned it was her friend's birthday today and oh my god she didn't know!?! that linefais tilts... down. In to a frown.

The frown grows deeper and deeper, her eyebrows furrowing, and she's silent the entire time until she eventually looks close to tears. When she speaks again, her voice is quiet. ]

Why didn't you tell me...?

Mm? [ Miles looks alarmed by the sudden look of not happy on Nanako's face, but he's apparently not sure why she's upset (great job, Edgeworth). ]

Why didn't you tell me it was your birthday today??? [ And Nanako is just flailing: she hops from foot to foot in a moment of of "WHAT DO" before, shoving the bags she was holding into Miles' hand, she shoots him a stern, ver very stern look. ] Um, you have to wait for me here, okay? I'll be back really soon!

[ .....And she's off, leaving Miles looking after her looking extremely confused, all of the girl's belongings held in his arms now. He blinks after her for a number of seconds before he finally takes note of the giggling Plusle beside him. He looks extremely flustered, and then even MORE flustered, when he sees the camera there.]

You were recording that, weren't you.

-- Mi! [ The giggling stops, and the feed cuts of hastily when Miles scowls at Remus. ]

Current Location: Goldenrod City

[As the camera flickers on and adjusts to the dim light inside of the Ilex Forest, let us all start with an overview of what has been going on in the last few ~~episodes of Shotas in Johto~~ days of Ken and Miles' lives.

First of all, there have been lots of wild Pokémon. Lots of them. It started off with a hoard of Paras snatching Remus and Romulus away. Then a Bulbasaur had attacked Ken (after he stepped on her). Pip has also ATTACKED WITH FIRE every other Pokémon that ever appeared in his path; this usually resulted in poor, fainted wild Pokémon or more burns on Miles' fingers. And Ken facepalming like no tomorrow.

There has also been a lot of wandering. Utterly lost ~~and failing to remember that Miles' eight foot tall dog has a wonderful sense of smell that could un-lost them in possibly a few hours~~, the two boys have been wandering through the forest for a good nine days now. Nine days of wandering, camping, and encountering wild Pokémon. At least they were together. Oherwise they'd be in a lot of trouble.

For example: ]

--!! O-ow.

[Now.]

Hold still, Miles - I'm almost done.

[The camera is finally adjusting to the darkness, and the screen shifts in the arms of whatever Pokémon is holding the communicator this time - a small grunt of "Plu" and "Minu" soon indicate who they are - before coming to focus on the two little boys by the campfire. One is seated on a fallen log, shoulders hunched and his face scrunched into an uncomfortable grimace as the other stands over him, biting his tongue in concentration as he keeps his eyes on... whatever he's doing with the top of Miles' head.

It appears that the said top of Miles' head is moving.]

Really, Miles, how did you even manage this? [Ken is grumbling - he doesn't seem angry, but the amusement is blending nicely with exasperation.] I could understand getting leaves or twigs in your hair - it's getting really long too - but.... Zubats?

[....that's right, Johto. Zubats. Zubats! In Miles' hair.

Don't. Even. Ask.

The wild Pokémon just flaps its wings wildly, yanking on more of Miles' grey hair, and the boy winces, hand flying to the back of his head. Ken swats it away though, shaking his head and continuing to untangle the bat's claws from his friend's hair. Miles just grimaces more, sighing at this new misfortune... then scowls when he sees the camera recording.]

Remus. Romulus. Turn that off.

[[ooc; Hello Route! Remember how Miles dropped his Gear down the well and totally decimated it? Well, it's still broken, hence the post via Ken's Gear. There will be replies from both shotas! :D ]]
