[There's an unfamiliar face peering into the Pokegear. One would be forgiven for thinking that it's a newcomer, except...]

Ah. Well... this is a problem...

[He brushes his hair back, looking a bit... troubled.]

I woke up this morning like this. Somehow I've aged ten years in one night. Is anyone else having a problem like this?

[Later, he can be found wandering around Goldenrod, with a Lucario, shiny Greninja, and shiny Pawniard trailing after him. The two shinys look pretty calm, but the Lucario looks slightly distressed at his trainer's predicament.]

Not gone. I promise.

[He smiles at Yachi's question. She really does care about Mai, doesn't she?]

I paid for two rooms at the inn. Mai has her own room, but I'm nearby in case she wants to talk.

[Him staying in her room just... isn't right.]

[The promise is all she needs and the return of Lindyhop and Jam brighten her up even more. She cuddles the two of them gently before returning both of them to their pokeballs. Possibly odd behaviour for Mai as she never would have put Jam into his ball before but little Mai doesn't know that. She smiles earnestly up at Yachi.]

Onii-san lets me eat cake.

[She then hops up and dashes back to her other pokemon, returning each of them into their balls after giving them a small cuddle.]
