[A photo, taken apparently right outside Sandgem Town, the Pokémon Centers bright red roof can be seen peeking through the treeline. In the center of the shot is Laura, kneeling in the gras and holding her hand out to a shinx. Marshmallow is sitting perched on her shoulder and is seemingly trying to hid in her hair. The shinx has an intimidated look on its face as well]

We barely stepped foot outside of the town and were surprised by this little fella! I think he was running from something, he seems very timid, just like Marshmallow. According to the Pokédex, this Pokémon is called "Shinx". I have never seen one before, but it bears some slight resemblance to the Litten that are around in Alola. Does someone have adivce on how to care for one of these Shinx? The Pokédex is rather vague...

Well, we are on our way to Jubilife City now. It is not far according to the map! We will probably stay there tonight, and maybe even tomorrw. I'm sure there is a lot to see. If anyone has recommendations, let us know!

<<Clarification: Miss Laura has caught the Shinx with a Pokéball! He has been given the name "Schnitzel"!>>

Good Evening! We have successfully reached Oreburgh City after a very long day on Route 203. And honestly, a lot has happened!

Barry has apparently also gone towards Oreburgh City and surprised us just outside Jubilife City where he challenged Laura to a Pokémon fight! I'm impressed by his battle prowess and is absolute resolve to never give up. In the end, he still lost, but he managed to exploit Schnitzels timid nature and his Turtwig snuck in a very strong hit which made Schnitzel faint. I think out little boy was a little bit nervous after Turtwig retreated into his shell more and more and nothing seemed to have any effect, until he suddenly struck back. Well, because of that we had to go back to the Pokémon Center and make sure Schnitzel is okay. Also, yes, he is just fine!

//I wanted to make like video descriptions of major battles like gyms or barry, but this one dragged on for way too long because of Withdraw. Also Turtwig critted Schnitzel two times in a row and Lemonade as well, and i didn't get a single crit. I love RNG.

//Schnitzel also fainted against the last trainer in Oreburgh gate to a crit, so he has one more faint before retiring. I think he'd be totally fine that, timid as he is

Well, we then explored Route 203 for a bit, and Galois spotted an Abra! Laura wanted to catch it, but it kept teleporting away once we got close. At some point Laura made a good throw with a Pokéball, but it got away. We didn't see it again. We spent most of the day on Route 203, actually.

The last thing i want to mention is that we found a new friend when we passed through Oreburgh Gate!

[A photo of Lemonade the Piplup, sitting on a bed with the typical Pokécenter bedsheets. On his head is a Zubat, it's wings layed down the side of Lemonades head, who is holding both wings with his flippers. They seem very cuddly]

This is Stir-Fry! He is so gentle, he didn't have anything against the nurse inspecting his teeth earlier!

Tomorrow, we will visit the Oreburgh Museum, and hopefully Laura will challenge Roark, the Gym Leader. I'm very excited to see how she will do!

<<Good Evening! Yesterday, we spent another day in the wonderful Floaroma Town, watching the Combee and preparing our travels to Eterna City. After some research, i found it it is apparently a two day journey, so we spent the day preparing!>>

<<We did not start out Journey however! We will do this tomorrow!>>

<<We originally wanted to begin our hike today, but when we left Floaroma Town towards Route 205 this morning, we were stopped by a young girl in distress! Apparently, her dad had been kidnapped, or rather held hostage within the Valley Windworks! Of course we could not just let this transpire!>>

<<We found out the Valley Windworks had been taken over by the so called "Team Galactic"! They are the same group that harrassed Professor Rowan and Miss Dawn a few days ago!>>

<<Miss Laura has proved some amazing battle skills against some random Grunts though! She also won a Pokémon battle agains the so-called "Commander Mars" who had a very scary Purugly. I apologize, i could have used the Poryphone™ Videography Module to make a recording, but as i have to admit i was a little bit scared. Tiramisu was very impressive though, dealing the final blow!>>

<<We also have tried reaching out to the Sinnohan Police about this event, but we could not reach anyone from Floaroma Town. Maybe this Team Galactic has sabotaged the network. We will try again once we reach Eterna City.>>

<<The important thing is, that the young girl has been reunited with her father and that the Valley Windworks can resume operations!>>

<<I also have more pleasant news! Miss Laura caught another Pokémon! It is a Buizel, whom she named "Onion". I don't understand how she comes up with these names, but Onions seems to like it!>>

[A picture, taken outside in a field of flowers. The background shows a Pokécenter. It shows Laura in a green dress in the same style as her usual ones and a secon woman her age, possibly a little bit older. The second woman has much lighter skin, but you wouldn't call her "white". Unlike her hair, which is very much white and is worn in a very old fashioned permanent wave. she also wears a large white sunhat. Her outfit consists of a rather formal looking combination of pants and blouse, both in black. This must be Solaria.

They are playing with a horde of Pokémon, among them the known faces of Lemonade, Schnitzel and the rest of Lauras Team. There are also a few new additions, for example a Psyduck who is being pet by Laura and a Buizel who is very curiously watching a Staravia who is perched on Sols arm. In her lap sits a Budew]

<<For another great event, Marshmalow has evolved into a Staravia! Miss Laura is so proud of her (and i am as well)! She has warmed up to Miss Solaria a lot since the Evolution earlier today. Evolution has changed her personality a little bit, i think. I wonder if that happened to me as well? I do not feel different, but my own evolution has been a while, so maybe i am wrong here.>>

<<In any case, I wish you all a good night! We will hopefully start our hike towards Eterna City without any more holdups tomorrow mornign!>>

Thank you Galois.

<<You're welcome Miss Solaria!>>

We have reached Jubilife City! The road is so much easier to travel when you can ride on a Drampa, i have to admit. I think if Hugo didn't carry us here, we would be on the road for at least another 2 hours!

Anyways, we have met young Miss Dawn again. She was just running an errand for Professor Rowan and gave Laura the advice to visit the trainer school. Apparently they are not exclusively for children, but for anyone who wants to know more about a trainers profession.

Laura was very excited about this, because on the way here, we battled a few young trainers and Lemonade has managed to control his water-related abilities a little bit better. Schnitzel also has shown us how he can create electricity! So Laura wanted to ask the teachers at the trainer school about this.

In short, Laura is attending a lecture there right now, while i have taken the opportunity to go to the Pokémon Center, rent a room and take a bath, which i'm doing right now! All the Pokémon are with Laura of course, except Galois. Oh, and Barry is also attending the trainer school, i have seen him through the door. I'm impressed how serious he takes his role as a trainer! When we first met him he seemed so impatient.

<<Miss Solaria? Do you want to tell them about Mr. Looker?>>

Oh you are right Galois! Thank you, it already slipped my mind!

On our way to the trainer school, we met a very strange man. He is calling himself Mr. Looker and said he is working for the international police! He told us to inform him of any suspicious activity we encounter. Is there some information about the international police out there? Because if i'm quite honest, i would report Mr. Looker himself! But i don't know a lot about detective work, i've only seen Inteleon 007 a few times, and i do not trust these movies to represent the actual police work!
