and the only truth is...

I-- I did it?!

[ this feed starts off with a view of the hallway. a certain hallway... with a door in the distance. it looks like a bathroom door. the lights are on, until...

suddenly, there's a rush of feet and a patter patter patter, until the entire view is turned upside down by the excited look of two blue eyes. a voice that one might recognize as a certain bear is then heard on the feed.

this one? excited. why? let's find out. ]

I-- I really did it!

I GOT ABS!

That's right world! Teddie's got abs!!

[ ... wait what. teddie's just going to give the world a moment to let that sink in before he shuts off the feed.

just in time for valentine's day. ]

[ here is a bear. well, no, he's out of the bear suit at this certain moment. he starts off this feed with a wave and a bit of a sparkle. you know, like he usually does.

nothing new on this end. except for the fact he's kind of sitting on a huge snorlax on the middle of the street, but that's no big deal. ]

Heya, Johto! [ the sparkles stop. ] I've been enlightened recently! Turns out when you think you know it all, there's even more to discover...! Which means Teddie here, with a beary important question.

[ his voice suddenly turns a bit lower. he clears his throat. ] Who would you put on your scoring team? Hypothetically speaking, of course. Unless you're a stud or Hayate, then it's not really hypothetical I guess.

Thanks! [ a final sparkle and wave, before this feed shuts off. ]

[ and the usually energetic, chipper voice that comes from this feed is a little more subdued, a little bit more calm. he's trying, really, to seem more chipper and upbeat, but somehow his moods have been fluctuating. he doesn't understand it--he's been trying to be happy, because that was best, but now he's just kind of tired.

so now, it's all him and an arcanine behind this tree. he's hiding.

and also making some glasses in his hands, should you find him (spoilers: it's not hard. it's a very skinny tree). ]

How do you stop thinking about stuff?

[ this is a completely legitimate question. ]

[those tuning into the network today may find a very, very interesting scene today. You know, the same Goldenrod scenery. you know, busy people, Goldenrod Department Store, giant Snorlax in front of the Department Store, with a disgruntled looking bear clutching his head in worry, panicking in front of it--

. . . wait. wait wait wait.

Snorlax?

Yep. That's right. Snorlax. All who-knows-how-many-pounds of Pokémon there, sleeping right in front of the Department Store. Teddie looks completely worried, pushing on one side of the Snorlax in a vain attempt to get it out of the way. It's blocking a lot of the road.]

Noooo! You have to get up! [push. push. push. he pauses for a second, panting, then looks over at the Pokégear screen.] Um. Heeeeeeelp. Is there anyway to get a Pokémon to move? Without putting it back into the ball thing, though.




I, um, kinda lost it.

Thank you beary much. . . And I'm really, really sorry! [sob. more pushing.]

[the feed opens up to a bear's room in violet city. you can see his back, and, from the looks of it, he's stuffing a lot of things into his bag: potions, pokeballs, repels... his change of clothes, a toothbrush, lots of food... you know, the works. the candles from his previous post are cleared away, and... actually, for teddie, the scene looks relatively normal. he turns to the screen, giving a small wave. there's a small trace of kool-aid on the front of his suit, but it's mostly washed off.]

Um... I'm heading off to that "Goldenrod" place.

[his voice isn't the little cheery thing it usually is, but he's still relatively light-hearted. He sounds unsure, really, considering the circumstances... well, he could be worse. He's trying to stay happy, at least! But now he's rubbing at the eyes of his bear-suit. there are a small amount of pokemon plushies on the bed, half-finished, and Teddie picks them up to also place them in the bag, absentmindedly. he turns back to the camera.]

Oh, yeah. I meant to post about it sooner but... I'm making stuffed toys. It's nearing Christmas, so I thought people might like them. To give, or to have. You can just tell me if you want one and how you want it... I'll work on it! Pokey-mon, or a rabbit, or a bear... I'll make it.

I need to keep busy anyway, so I'll even make it free-of-charge. It's Christmas, after all.

[a pause.]

... Before I forget. Has anyone heard from Sensei? Tall guy, grey hair, kinda cool-looking? I've been trying to get a hold of him, but nothing's come up.

... I think that's it. You can shut it off, Teddie Version Two--

[there's a small "-uuuursa!" in the back. the camera angle shakes, shifts a bit to a vertical view, and you catch a small view of a bear paw before it shuts off completely. those outside in violet might catch this bear in a bear-suit, all ready to go, with a heavy looking bag on his back. walking determined. to the next area.]

[after the events of this thread, Teddie is, to put it simply, SO EXCITE. After all, he's got a bunch of new scoring tips under his belt... even if they aren't... exactly... legit...

Still! It never hurts to try, right? And so, when this video feed opens up, the lights are dim and the room is lit by candlelight. Totally romantic. The one responsible for this set up is right in the middle of everything--sitting in a chair and looking rather dashing in his bear-suit. The camera work is a little shaky, and there's a bit of a "teddiursa!" in the background. And that, friends, would be the camerabear. Teddie's Teddiursa.]

Ahem. Greetings, citizens of "Joh-to". Ladies. I have a question for you all.

[he's talking in a bit of a deep voice. are those... is he sparkling?]

What's your... type?

[your thoughts of whether he means POKEMON type or something else are interrupted, because the moment he finishes this sentence, there's the sound of a door opening in the background. After a few seconds, the lights turn back on, and soon there's a voice calling out from behind. Judging from the fact that the bear has looked away from the camera--it's not him talking.]

... Teddie, have you seen Yosuke's--

[And Teddie's Teddiursa does everyone the favour of panning the camera to the door--on the shaky screen there is one (1) Souji, hand on the room's lightswitch. Cue awkward silence.]

. . . . What are you doing?

Sensei--!

[and that's when the feed cuts out.]

[well, today on the network you might hear some very familiar words.. of course, they're not from the voice you would usually expect to hear these words from. unless you've talked to teddie previously, in which you're lucky enough to get a private call all to yourself.]

Hello people. Ladies. Yosukes. Senseis.

I have a... beary important announcement to make.

[he clears his throat.]

I feel like... My Teddiursa is in the top percentage of Teddiursa!
