Herbert: Oh, hey, another Sinn kid! I'm from Eterna, by the way, in case you were wondering. I'll tell you more tomorrow about myself when we actually get around to the whole "dating" thing. For now, night, Samantha!
-He starts walking away. Once he is absolutely certain that he is out of sight of Samantha, he jumps up and clicks his heels together.-
Herbert: YES! I've got a date with a girl, I've got a date with a girl, I've got a date with a gi-i-irl~
-He continues to trill merrily to himself all the way back to the Center.-

<It is common courtesy. I would hate to live in a world where acts of kindness were considered exceptional.>
<After a while, I was old enough and strong enough to go out and explore the route myself. During one of these exploration trips, I fought and was captured by a young human with a Combusken and Ivysaur. Like my father had told me, the experience was only scary if you were expecting it to be scary; I was actually excited about the new horizons this could open up. From there... I'm sure you know at least parts of it.>

"Uh—What's the 'J-Team'?" Jessica asked, rather puzzled as she worked on establishing a wall. She hadn't even heard of it! ...Figures, right?

<One last thing. I was amazed at first that Alex could understand me perfectly, but I quickly became used to it. I eventually requested that we return to [INSERT HOENN ROUTE HERE] so I could meet my family again.
When I returned to my former home burrow...
(Her face falls.)
My mother and father were both getting old by this point. I was the youngest of many, many children, so I'd never really known them when they were young, but it was now apparent that age was taking its toll. My father in particular had fallen extremely ill...
(Tears prick the Vaporeon's eyes.)
So I stayed there. While Alex went off on his own, I helped nurse my father over several days, but it was no use; he was too ill to save. I was at his side the night he died, one whole week after I'd returned. I... I held his paw the entire time, just like I'd heard of humans doing...>
(Her face is now streaked with tears.)
<The last thing he ever said was... "I love you". Nothing more, nothing less... just... "I love you". After that...>
(Vattenfallet finally becomes too depressed to continue speaking. The Vaporeon hugs Joseph, buries her face in his shirt, and softly weeps.)

I know... But I'm here to help you. The whole team's here to help, even if they don't quite understand...
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.
