[The video starts with America waving at the camera, laughing away before it falls onto the floor and Wailmer is pretty much tackling it down to get to the sea--- where it is rolling towards.
There's yelling as America has to chase it before the Pokegeaar gets ruined --- before the screen cuts to Wailmer in the sea not too far away. Luckily, it had rolled over the device before ending up in the sea. Yes, he's on Cherrygrove Beach. No, he doesn't care it's cold for once either. Liberty is having fun out there.]
I made it to Cherrygrove! [Yes, that's pretty loud. He's slept and is pretty energetic now.
The eggs I got a few days ago hatched this morning! I have puppies running around everywhere - they're really cute, look!
[The video pans to a Growlithe, Houndour and Shinx hopping and jumping around each other excitedly, before it pans back to America who looks so proud.]
They're really lively already!
[Yeah, that's all he had to say, so he gives a quick wave.
[ It's been a long day. He certainly didn't expect the train to get hijacked or a bomb to be planted there. Those few hours were possibly the most nerve-wrecking he's experienced in the past few decades; he knows Johto can resurrect people but that fact alone doesn't make the whole ordeal less frightening.
It's late in the evening when he pulls out his PokéGear from his bag and checks the latest post and his voicemail. Again, America?, he thinks as he clicks on a button to start up the video message. ]
... Puppies?
[ They're cute. Not in the same league as itty bitty bunnies of the Holland Lop variety but they're still plenty of adorable. When the video ends, he plops down on the bed and decides to play it again.
And again. He leans back some, his lip curling up to a small grin. He definitely needed this. ]

[ Twenty minutes and a shower later, he sends a video message. He's washed off the dried blood from his face, but there are still a few bruises here and there and his hair is mussed and slightly damp. ]
[Oh bunnies are cute too, he just doesn't know you can get those yet. WAIT UNTIL HE DOES- He'll end up with the cutest team of all of Johto--- I mean.
Anyway. This time when the video message starts the puppies are curled up near him. Adams (Houndour) and Jefferson (Growlithe), true to their characters, are on opposite sides of him so they don't fight, while Hamilton, the Shinx, is on his lap. Hancock the Psyduck is leaning against his knee. It's a rare occasion when he and Luna have actually stopped to rest - so it's pretty dark out.]
I know that, but puppies cheer everyone up! [He looks concerned after though, because why do you have bruises on your face, Holland? 8(] What... happened, anyway?

{Who's this? Oh, it's your landlady! Who's looking a lot better than how she was after that train ride.} Holland, I'm heading back to Goldenrod tomorrow. I have things I want to get done before it gets too cold and the Routes close from snow.
{She pauses for a moment.} It may seem a little strange, but are you still planning to spend Christmas with {She starts saying "me" but then changes her mind.} -us? I know it'll be a poor substitute for your brother and sister, but it's never fun to be alone.
[ His reply doesn't come until later that day. Holland's probably been spending the afternoon comparing prices in the stores or lamenting over how much these Christmas gifts will cost him. ]
Alright. I'll probably go back in a week or so. [ Or possibly earlier; he doesn't trust the weather to stay normal and he doesn't want to be stranded in Saffron if they get twelve feet of snow. ]
I will. [ Normally he'd just leave it at that and end the recording, but... ] Doesn't mean it'll be bad. Thanks, Nanao.

I'm about to meet one in person now actually, but just remember what I said, yeah?

I'm aware, America. I've been here for a year. [ He sounds a little annoyed in that duh, everyone turns human here I'm not stupid way. ]

Ah, oops, sorry! I didn't know they'd all arrived that far back. [It's okay, he wasn't implying he was stupid at all!]

Sounds good. {This is the Pokemon World. They're practically guaranteed to get a stupid amount of snow in a short period of time.}
{And this is one of the biggest smiles anyone will ever see.} Excellent! And you're welcome, Holland.
