Video 001
[A screen pops up and at first nothing is seen, though the noise of something rubbing against the screen is plainly heard. There's a muffled voice before whatever was rubbing against it was pulled away. There's now a blond haired boy on the screen, a blue bird with cloud like wings on his shoulder.]
Doesn't look like the fall broke it, Sky... Huh? It's on?
[The boy stood straighter and looked around.]
I guess we can send a message this way.
[He looks down at the screen again as his little friend chirps.]
If anyone can hear this, can you tell me what's going on? This lady said she was my mom, and there was this old guy who gave me a red and white ball and talked about Pokémon. Is that what Sky is? She just looks like a bird with clouds for wings.
[Sky objects to this and chirps shrilly into her trainer's ears. This causes the boy to drop the device, which promptly lands on the grass. Now there's just a view of the sky and muffled grumbling.]

[He wants to ask her about something Naminé said earlier, but the conversation topic about new Pokémon catches his interest.]
Are there a lot of flying-types?
[video]
[She is unreasonably excited about this.]
I like the water types, personally. The one I started with was a water type, I named him Thalassa.
[video]
Really? So I could fly on Sky's back when she gets bigger, or any of the others I catch?
[Thalassa is hard to say...]
What was he?
[video]
[A pause, wait, seals are real creatures. She'll just demonstrate it visually by turning the camera to a Dewgong.]
I mean, he was a Pokemon called a Seel, then when he got stronger he grew into a Dewgong. [Thalassa just claps. Hello friend!] Then I have my other friends that aren't Water types like Pluto, Minnie, Axel...I don't have as many as some people have, but I'm happy with the ones I made friends with.
[video]
He stops being in awe and blinks.]
Axel?
[video]
[Oh no, she shouldn't have said that name.
But he'd meet Axel sooner or later, it wouldn't make sense to keep it from him.]
My Pyroar. [So she'll pretend that it's a mere coincidence, panning the camera to a lion-like creature.] Riku told me that I was here before and had a Pokemon by that name, so I decided to honor his memory by passing on the name. I don't know how else to explain it, that's more complicated stuff this place throws at you.
[video]
[He smiles despite himself.]
The Axel I knew... Well, barely knew... could use fire. So it fits him.
[That memory makes him sad. They were best friends. Roxas felt horrible for not remembering him.]
[video]
No, actually, it hurts even more. She just can't tell him, "yes, I know Axel, too!" Talk about despite whatever circumstances Roxas might have met him under, he's a good person, he promised he'd always look after them.
Rather, like a brother if she thought about it in family terms.
And Roxas, too, is like a brother. But none of them know her, and it'd be too painful, too complicated to burden them with that knowledge that she was someone they knew. Xion, you'd be starting over with Roxas again anyway, there's no point to giving him the history.]
He's...he's a good friend to me. He always looks after me.
[She knows she's talking about Axel the Pokemon, but at the same time...
Xion can't let herself get too lost in her thoughts, though, as the Pyroar places a heavy paw on the Gear and pushes it down, as if to cut out Roxas from her sight. You're getting upset, his expression tells her. Retreat for now.]
...Oh, uh. [Right. Don't start crying or anything. Just bring back up the Gear and address Roxas.] I should...go, Kairi and Namine will probably be looking for me, if we're going to bring you over. Um...see you later, Roxas.
[And she clicks off the feed.]
[video]
The Gear suddenly going dark reminded him of how Sky had pulled something like that. Though this seemed different.
When Xion pops up on the screen again, it was Roxas's who looked sad.]
Alright. See ya then.
[What else could he say?]
