I. [Video - Mahogany Town]
[The face that will be appearing on your screens is that of a forty-something with tan skin, deep blue eyes, an exceptionally orderly head of blond dreadlocks and odd silver circular markings on his forehead. Kind of like a Tauros', except one small circle short.
Something is definitely bothering this man, as evidenced by his dark eyebrows knitting together in a stern glare as he looks down at the off-screen thing that is likely the reason for his current annoyance. He spends several seconds like that, just frowning and staring down in complete silence, before he finally holds the small Pokémon up in his arms so it's finally on screen - it's a cute little Ralts, who flashes a big happy smile to the camera as soon as it realizes it's being caught on video and broadcast to the world.]
Is there a way to get it to stop reading me? I understand that this... little one has potential, but power is meaningless if the one wielding it lacks the necessary control and discipline. Psychic powers are, of course, no exception. Ralts here needs a lesson in respect for other people's privacy. At the same time, I will admit I have next to no experience working with these creatures, and I worry that any punishment I might administer would be too harsh on so frail a being. Any advice on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
[Throughout Gorthan's message, Ralts' expression has remained unchanged - it looks very happy to be in Gorthan's arms. Evidently, it's not something that happens very frequently. And it seems that the small Pokémon was reading the odd man's mind - or at least his intentions - all along. Because it seems to know exactly when its trainer is about to cut off the communication, and waves its tiny white hand at the viewers shortly before the video message ends.]
