So I was talking with a few people and I was wondering - what sort of music does everyone like listening to? I listened to a lot of pop music at home, since I was on a dance team, but I'm just curious as to what everyone else's musical tastes are like.

I'm also wondering something about Riolu evolutions. Mine hasn't evolved yet. I've heard that it's based on 'friendship', but how is that exactly counted? I think I've been pretty nice to mine, but I don't know how it's really counted. Am I missing something?

I think I'm getting better at it, but it's going to take some more time, probably.

If you want...

[The video flicks on, and there's the brief image of Micchy's face before he sets the Gear down in front of his Riolu.]

[Kirikou switches his own Gear to video as well, beaming brightly.]

Hey, wassup! So, haven't evolved yet, huh?

video

[grapeeater]

[Isamu shakes his head. No, he hasn't.]

video

[fourwayconnection]

Do you want to?

video

[grapeeater]

[He tilts his head and then nods. It sounds cool!]

video

[fourwayconnection]

[Oh, huh. Well then.]

That's cool, because your trainer sure seems up for it happening too. Any idea of why it hasn't happened yet?

video

[grapeeater]

[He just kind of... looks awkwardly in Micchy's direction. Not... exactly friendly.]

video

[fourwayconnection]

Oooooh. [He sees what's up.] He's makin' it a little hard, huh? He not fun enough?

video

[grapeeater]

[He tilts his head to the side a little. That's not... quite it. He can't really communicate it that well, so he raises a paw and wavers it from side to side. Sort of, but not really.]

video

[fourwayconnection]

[Closer...]

Not... friendly?

video

[grapeeater]

[He nods. It's... it's hard to do this without words, but that's the closest he can get.]

video

[fourwayconnection]

Think he can fix whatever it is he's doin' wrong?

video

[grapeeater]

[He whines a little. He's not sure. It might be a personality thing.]

video

[fourwayconnection]

Hmmmm.... [Leaning back, he rubs his neck.] Do think he's faking it? if he is, we could make him be more genuine.

[Or at least tell him so.]

video

[grapeeater]

[He growls a little bit. Yeah. Kind of.]

video

[fourwayconnection]

Alright, I think I got it. [He gives a thumbs up.] Thanks for the talk, man.

video

[grapeeater]

[Does he? But the Riolu shrugs and nudges the Pokegear over to Micchy, who picks it up.]

... You got something from that?

video

[fourwayconnection]

Yeah, what, didn't you?

video

[grapeeater]

Not a lot, no.

video

[fourwayconnection]

Okay, well, here's the deal: your Riolu wants to evolve, but there's something up with you.

Be honest, how genuine are you being with him?

video

[grapeeater]

I'm trying to be genuine.

[As much as he can be, at least.]
