007 @ VIDEO // ACTION FOR VERMILION CITY
[The feed turns on to show Ryo glancing down at the ground, as if "she" had some grim news to share with everyone.]
I...
[However, it was more like something that "she" had a hard time processing in "her" mind finally sunk in. Ryo suddenly raises "her" head to reveal the brightest and most excited smile ever, and is practically bouncing in place!]
I won in my tournament section! Yaaaay! I can't believe it! I didn't actually think it was possible when I entered... but I ended up doing it!
[Ryo calms down a bit, but still maintains an excited smile.]
For those I battled these past few weeks, thank you very much for letting me have the opportunity to test my skills against you. [Ryo gives a slight bow.] You were all very tough opponents, and I was afraid of losing. One day, I hope that we can battle again... That is, if you want to. I really had a lot of fun!
[That seemed to be a good place to end it, and Ryo was about to turn off the feed, but stops in mid-motion as "she" remembers something.]
Oh... wait! That isn't all!
[Sheepishly, Ryo holds up a shiny new Thunder Badge.]
Eheh! I even got my first Gym Badge ever! Well then, everyone, I have a question... Where could I get the HM for Fly? I've considered getting it as another Kanto souvenir before I head back to Goldenrod... Though I wonder, does being good in Pokemon battles really help me become more cool like Makoto-san...?
[With that mumbling train of thought, the video ends.]
[FILTERED TO IM@S CAST + HAYATE]
[ABOUT A COUPLE HOURS LATER... It seems Ryo had ventured to one of the nearby routes. But for what purpose? Compared to earlier, "she" seems rather serious. And distressed. Distresserious.]
Well, I made a promise to myself that if I won this, that I would finally do something that I never considered before. To be honest, I'm still a little scared, but then I realized... You're all not just my senpai anymore. You're all my wonderful friends, and that even if I'm scared of telling the truth, I should have faith that you won't hate me because of this. Plus, if there's a chance I'm going to be trapped here for years, then... I really don't know how long I can last like this...
[Ryo glances awkwardly to the side.]
Everyone... do you mind... if I tell you a secret?
I...

[video - fitlered]
[Ryo would like to avoid emasculation whenever possible!]
Um, well, anyway... My secret's a little embarrassing, but I think that I want you to know it more than anyone else. It might be a little shocking... So, um, you should brace yourself?
[He's kind of nervous about this...]
[video - fitlered]
Is... Is it really that big? Um... O-Okay then... *taking a deep breath, putting on his GAME FACE!* Lay it on me, Akizuki-san! I'm ready to defuse whatever bomb you're about to drop!

S... Sorry, Akizuki-san. Just... I suddenly know how a certain acquaintance of mine must have felt during a similar reveal...
[video - filtered]
Mm, it's fine... I'm not upset. I'm guessing that you had to do something similar, Ayasaki-san? Dropping the bridge on that person, I mean...
[video - filtered]
Ah... Y-Yeah, kind of. *Huh, voice change! He probably shouldn't mention it doesn't sound that different from the disguised one, huh.* It ended far worse though, considering the guy is still in love with me and is entirely shameless about it...
A-Anyway! I... I had my suspicions about this for a good while, but to actually have you yell it out like that... Definitely a shock!
