-- a sign right out in front. Huh! Talk about havin' a big ego!
[The screen wobbles awkwardly-- whoever is carrying the Pokegear is walking, and not very stably. Whoever is handling the 'gear, it isn't the hypocritical Dash, as is revealed by the shaky camera filming her as she stands outside the Violet City Gym, examining the placard in front. All

So there are... electric sheep. ... Huh.
Route 32-- that's not far from here, is it?

Alright... Got it. Thanks. [She'll check it out a little later, once she's finished PUMMELING DEFENSELESS VEGETATION INTO SUBMISSION.]
... Have you beat the gym already?

Go away, Chicken Commander...!

You want me to call you "Cobra"-- well, you should probably "just give up now"! [Imitating his voice in her own mocking tone. And, for the coup-de-grace, she sticks out her tongue. She was in a bad mood to begin with, and now she is FURIOUS.]

[So, heh, she'll just uh... leave that little detail out.]
Be careful.
Lose focus and he'll pound you. Second gym's easier.

[... W-wait.]
Wait, the second gym's easier? [She raises an eyebrow.] That doesn't make sense!

The guy there uses bugs to fight.
Aaaand my starter is a Fire type.
So we pretty much smoked 'em.
[Yes, by the way, that pun was totally intended.]
It'll probably be easier for you too. You've got that... fire horse thing. By the way, what do those things eat? ... Besides like-- ... grass?
[BECAUSE... yeah. Someone literally got Heather a pony for Christmas.]

Pffft-- You did not just make that joke...! [You've gotten her to laugh for the first time today!
E-excuse her while she stifles it.] Ha... Uh... Yeah! I didn't know there was a gym for bug types-- Blaze can take those down in no time flat!

Yeah, yeah...
... Huh? [Blink, blink. And she abruptly brightens.]
Oh! Yeah! [She's wearing the necklace underneath that black tank top she has on (... in the snow); she carefully pulls it out to show him with a grin.]
It's awesome, Yow! I... never did thank you. [She laughs.] I feel kinda bad-- I didn't even get you anything! [FOR SHE IS POOR-- and Christmas was a whole new concept to her.]

[He just smiles and shakes his head.] Don't worry about it, I'm just glad it got to you safe and sound, aru. I'm guessing that Christmas isn't a big holiday in your home either, huh? [Hong Kong told him about it, but... it just didn't seem big enough to become a legal holiday in China.]

She grins and shakes her head.] Nah, I mean... I've never even heard of this Criss-uh-mus thing before showin' up here... Back home, we'd just have some time off while getting ready for the Winter Wrap-Up. [Which was pretty much the ponies' equivalent to New Years.]
