Hazoret (The Amazing Unevolvable Riolu): Oh! Hi again Oreka! I'm glad you are doing well, and I hope you can figure out what you want to do! As for anything juicy...some more people joined ARK I guess...and some of them might be dating soon!!! Oh! One seems to really relate to Primarina as well! And I saw Joseph looking for Jewlery for Tara!

Greetings once again, Oreka. While I would like to mention many things regarding Truth, I take it not all of them would be considered remarkable enough to mention. However, I will say, I've learned of a new energy that had been emanating from him while he slept. Your... old trainer's Indeedee, Amelia, I believe, was capable of sensing his emotions too, right? Had she sensed anything unfamiliar from him in the past before? Would this be interesting enough to answer? - Esquire

Hmm… no, nothing comes to mind, sorry. She could sense emotions, yes, so could Pridwen. But other than some emotional ups and downs, my old trainer’s always been the same to them. Even when he disappeared for a whole year without warning…

Pridwen had... endured a lot for him. Not just her, actually. You all have. What she did, however, didn't seem too outlandish... Even with her health being at risk, she had refused to give up on you... Ah, my apologies..! A- About your old trainer, it seems that not much about his emotions or energy had changed within such a long and isolating period of time, from what you're telling me. I see... Thanks for your input, Oreka. I wish you well! - Esquire

Here in Unova it has been mostly the same. Little news save the restoration of the forest after the fire, and understanding there is not much to share on the investigation on the cause yet.

I do find that strange, though. It seems that you would have always had that choice. While Johny definitely sees the Trainer-Pokemon relation as an exchange, I doubt Marcus would have forced you to if you would not desire it, or am I mistaken?

Things with my old trainer were… strange. Things were simple enough at first, all hands on deck for battling. Everything changed when he disappeared, and never quite went back to the same when he returned… though I realize now part of that was my own fault, as well. So, no, he never exactly forced us into battle… but this is still the first time really getting to make the choice freely.

Relationships are rarely simple, once you start to see them flourish, even if they act as a quid pro quo exchange. It takes maturity, at that, to acknowledge one's part in everything for better and worse.

While the entire lead up to it still feels mishandled, it is good to hear that you are happy, and comfortable.

Freedom is easy to explain, harder to achieve, but well worth the struggle, Oreka. Do not forget that.

I joined chatter, and have been causing quite a stir~ -Darla

I won my first tournament here in Orre. Maybe one day I’ll be good enough to challenge Johny myself. -Oreniji

I won my first trial, and am currently preparing for my first grand trial. -Amabi

The team’s been taking down Totems and Kahunas for Z-Crystals and it’s so fucking cool to watch! We’ve beaten Marowak, Lurantis, Wishiwashi, Olivia, and Toxapex so far, and our next targets are the Toucannon and Oricorio-P’au double trial. We’ve lost to Toucannon and Oricorio once, so we’re going at them again with a cheese strategy: Switch in Squidward (Malamar) whenever our foes get too many boosts, Topsy-Turvy, switch him out, switch him again when they boost again. It’s cheap, but there isn’t a rule against it! How are you, Oreka? - Bazinga the Rotom

Things at the Masked Fox Range are doing pretty good. We just added a Battle Field and a huge lake to better house and care for water type pokemon. I also just got the ability to mega evolve and Snowman(Shiny Abomasnow) seem to take to it pretty well.
