Puzzle 045 - [Text/Video]

[The video feed opens to a close-up of a Pikachu's face, who turned the Pokegear on in the first place. Behind the Pikachu is Luke, who has his back faced to the Pokegear as he's busy packing. While Luke's distracted, the Pikachu takes it upon himself to figure out what the Pokegear does by pushing random buttons. So anyone who's paying attention will get this text message:]

[The Pikachu has no idea what he just said, but hopefully someone would understand him right? Meanwhile, Luke's busy talking to himself.]

Let's see if I have everything I need here...um, clean clothes, toothbrush...oh! I almost forgot my puzzle book! I can't leave that behind. Ah, am I forgetting anything? Gosh, I haven't traveled for a while now.

[Something rolls out of Luke's backpack, a green stone with a lighting bolt shape inside of it. The Pikachu lifts his head, and curiously runs over to inspect it.]

Ah, Soul! Wait! Don't touch-!

[But as soon as Soul goes over to inspect it, the room lights up as his Pikachu starts evolving. When the light dies down, Soul the Pikachu isn't quite a Pikachu anymore.

Oh wow...you've gotten so big!

Raichu!

No wait, I didn't mean that as an insult! It's cool-looking, really! I guess we'll really be ready for these next few gyms now that you've gone and evolved.

[And as Luke heads over to his bed, that's when he notices the Pokegear is running.]

Eh? How long has this thing been on anyway? Anyway, I guess I should've mentioned this sooner but I'm going to be leaving on a trip soon to earn more badges. I'm not sure how many I have left to get, but I think I still need to get the ones from Azalea, Blackthorn, and Mahogany. Anyone got any tips for taking on these gyms?

I'm setting out first thing tomorrow. It should be quite the adventure!

...Also, I suppose I should apologize for how I behaved the last time I spoke on the Pokegear. It wasn't a very gentlemanly way to behave.

Ah, thank you! This is the first time I've seen a Raichu. He's pretty neat-looking, even if he is bigger now.

[Soul gives an indignant "Rai!" at Luke's last comment.]

Wow, first time - I guess you were planning to let him evolve since you had the stone? [It may not have gone as planned, but hey, evolution is evolution.] He's very neat-looking! I was tempted to evolve a Pikachu long time ago, but... [Shrug.] And maybe he'll get used to his new size soon. It's cool, but growing bigger all of a sudden must be surprising.
