[The video opens on America's legs. He's rolled up his pant legs and is sitting at the edge of the lake on Route 30, dangling his feet in the water. A sleeping hoppip rests on his knees.]

I'm kind of worried about Pinky you guys. [He turns the 'gear around to focus on his face, with Liberty on his shoulder as usual.] She's level 5 already and she still can't do any attacks. D'you think it's cause it's so hot maybe? Like, is she wilting or something? I keep givin' her berries and makin' sure she has enough water an' all. She seems happy and everything, I mean... but she just sorta flops around. Like a magikarp.

...Maybe she'll evolve into something really cool? But man, she's so cute. [He turns the camera to show the hoppip again, reaching down to skritch the base of her leaves.] I kinda don't want her ending up some freaky monster thing.

[ two Jumpluffs are staring at the video before Joonhee shoos them to the side a bit. ]

That's normal for Hoppips, you don't have to worry. They don't learn Tackle until level 10 but if she seems happy then she's probably okay. The two you saw before, Doraji and Sou, started off as Hoppips.

So that's what she'll evolve into? [... They're not as cute.]

She'll evolve into a Skiploom first and then Jumpluff after that. [ he pulls the two Jumpluff's gently to hold them in front of the camera, careful to mind all the dandelion fluff. ]

It doesn't take them long to evolve but if she stays a Hoppip longer she'll learn her moves faster. They're not the greatest battlers but they're really helpful. [ he'd like more hoppip evolutionary family appreciation. if only because Doraji is the sweetest thing ever. he pets the little green leaves lightly. ]

Heh, I think I'll let her stay small for a while, then.

Thanks for the info, buddy!

I kept track of what moves Doraji learned as she evolved so if you wanted to know about that just let me know. [ or else he's not going to bother go flip through his notes. ]

You're welcome.

Yeah, when'd they start learning some offensive moves?

Tackle at level 10. [ he remembers that without checking since he went through the same worrying when he first met Doraji. he digs out a notebook and flips through it, careful not to jostle the two jumpluffs too much. ]

If you don't evolve her the next move would be Bullet Seed at level 19. She learns Poison Powder at level 12, it's a status move but it can still do damage...

[Nodnodnod.] Awright, cool. Good to know!
