[ Christmas is traditionally a lonesome time of year for one Minato Arisato: with no family, and no friends until the last year, it was often spent alone in whatever boarding house he was put up in during his stay in that particular school. No presents, no goodwill, just the stuff pitying workers gave him while he whiled away the day in solitude.
Now, the video flicks on - gently bobbing to suggest that his Gengar is holding it while hovering - to show his back. Minato is sitting on a log on the Cianwood coast, knees drawn up to him, staring out at the ocean dotted with islands and the faint cries of Water-types. Lost in his own thoughts as he is, he doesn't even register the camera until Thomas comes right up beside him with a concerned Gen gen? He turns, facing the camera a moment, his eyes worryingly devoid of any kind of emotion at all. Push it all down-- it's worked before, and it'll work again.
There's a glint of silver as the camera catches the edge of something gun-shaped - his Christmas present, now stuffed into his pocket - before he turns it away. ]
Thanks, Thomas.
[ He takes the 'gear, turned so both him and his Gengar are in frame: commenting that he didn't make it back to Goldenrod for Christmas seems pointless, as does explaining that his attempt against Chuck ended with another humiliating defeat. Not that any loss ever stopped him- he just needs to try harder, he thinks, get everyone even stronger. ]
Next year...
[ He pauses, and the glint of friendliness in his eyes hardens again. He shouldn't even have a next year, he's stubbornly reminded. He shakes his head and continues. ]
I'll train too. Any martial artists?
[ He goes to say something else, but relents: it doesn't feel right, and the feed turns again to face the sand, framed with his own bare feet and Gengar's purple nubs as well. There's just one thing left he needs to do. ]

[ This travelling thing isn't so bad after all! A few days of sore feet between Goldenrod and Ecruteak reminded him just how out of practice he was at walking long distances-- and indeed, at being physically fit in every sense. Old habits died hard, however, and he was soon back in fine form.
The three-day lapse that fast-forwarded his journey all the way to Olivine certainly didn't hurt, either. Now comes the coup de grace: when the video feed clicks on, Minato's stretched out in a deckchair in his swimming shorts, sunglasses on with Thomas the Gengar on one side and Lilim the Jynx on the other. (Also wearing sunglasses, naturally.) The camera-mon today was Thomas, the camera briefly fumbling around as it's passed back to Minato to show Garuda - out almost all the time, currently, in an attempt to power-level him up to the point where they can take on the Cianwood Gym - metal head tucked under metal wing, dozing along with the rest of them. ]
Hey. [ He raises a hand to the camera, slipping his sunglasses off. ] On our way to Cianwood...
Everyone in Goldenrod, I'll try to be back by Christmas.
[ Not 'back home', of course. Just 'back'. A metallic screech comes from off-camera, and Minato actually winces, a brief flash of worry crossing his expression. Evidently, Skarmory doesn't like having her rest interrupted. ]
...sorry, Garuda.
[ Another scree, somewhat mollified, and he passes the 'gear back to Thomas. The feed clicks off halfway through the loadup music of Angry Pidgeys.
Gotta do something on a boat, right? ]

[ The following trickles across his text feed, subtitling the video of Minato sitting on top of a stump, somewhere on the road between Goldenrod and Ecruteak. There's a box on his lap, the boy currently staring at it in mild wonder. ]
> You've encountered a mysterious box...
> Open it?> Yes
> No
> You open the box.
> Got 1x Laptop!
> Got 1x Evoker!
> Got Mysterious Note!
[ A blink or two, and the camera shakes a bit. Minato picks up the Evoker first, turning the pistol-shaped object over in his hands-- how long had it been since he'd clasped this between his fingers? He raises it, a th-thud of noise across the feed when it nears his head, before Minato hesitates.
No...that's the past. He lowers it again, digging in his pack to retrieve a thin white cable, plugging his mp3 player into the laptop.
First things first. Transfer his entire music library onto this thing. This many months with such a limited selection of music was just no good at all. He looks up at the sky as it's moving across, giving a sigh of relief. Now that he checked - for the first time in months as well - the paths were open again. A smile flickered across his face, eyes shaded by thick blue bangs. ]
Orpheus...hey.
[ The laptop gets set down, and Minato moves off-camera, Evoker hanging in one hand. The feed stays on for awhile longer, recording the sound of a murmured: ]
Per...so...na.
[ Then, shattering glass.
Then, a mighty roar and a whoomph of fire.
Then...the feed ends. ]

[ Another Goldenrod night, another session of music and reading and some light training out the back of Nanao's place before the night air's chill got to him.
( snip for longtext )
Travelling tomorrow-- back to Violet. [ A pause, and he glanced off to the side, lingering on something out of frame. ] Dunno from there.
[ He stares at the video feed for awhile, as if he's about to say something, before cutting it off abruptly. He'd have to give notice at his job, gather his savings, pack up...all things he could manage.
For now, it was just time to clear his head. Anyone out just past midnight might bump into Minato wandering the streets of Goldenrod, not going in any particular direction. The nightlife always stayed consistent: it was just the people that changed. ]

[ Ding! You have a message, Route. ]
Need new music; trade partner; way to remove gum from Jynx hair. Techno's good.
Soon is good too.

[ So, finally having Midori in the same town as him again was pretty cool! Even cooler was him finally being able to give her a proper Social Link rank- meeting up, taking her out for fun and games, and then eventually heading back to Nanao's place to sit and watch too many movies, drink too much soda, and eat too many snacks.
Moderation is for people who aren't protagonists. But he does eventually do what he does best- falls asleep. The video clicks on thanks to Minato's Smoochum, shaking about a little bit with quiet chum! chum!'s to show Minato half-laying on the couch, lit by the blue of the television screen still playing some overwrought romantic drama scene.
Also, Midori is pretty much laying on top of him, cuddling into his chest and just as asleep as he is.
Life is hard, being this swag. ]

[ All you get for quite some time is breathing, Route. Heavy breathing, at a regular pace, as if Minato is straining to do something. ]
Hahh...hnn. [ A grunt, turning into a shuddering inhale. Then back to regular heavy breathing. ] Ghh...hah.
[ It continues on for quite some time - heavy breathing, the occasional grunt - enough so to be pretty admirable. ]
Nearly...
[ Nearly! So very nearly. It's at this moment that the video clicks on...
To show a shirtless Minato doing pushups on the floor of his room, his Smoochum helping out by standing on his back.
Good morning, Route! ]
