[When the feed starts, Gundam's holding the Soul Badge up to the camera...and wearing one of those scarves Chihiro was offering a week ago.]

Such a confounding challenge. Though I suppose I should have expected as match from the toxic terrors lurking within the Gym's walls.

[He might've had some problems with the invisible walls. Apparently his so called All Seeing Eye didn't really do him much good there.]

Next, I shall prepare for challenging the precognitive powers of the Saffron City Gym. It seems that even I, Gundam Tanaka, the Supreme Overlord of Ice, can become a creature of routine now that our ominous October is at an end.

[...it was probably a lot worse than ominous, but ominous October sounds cool and spooky doesn't it?]

What I would like an answer to is thus, has the same happened to the rest of you, or do you still tremble in fear at the otherworldly forces that transformed this world?

[He probably could've picked a less intimidating way to ask that, but then well, he wouldn't be Gundam, would he?]

...Actually, I found it nostalgic.

[It's hard to be bothered by supernatural things happening when...she's actually supernatural.]

Tanaka-kun, congratulations on your badge win! My prediction is you'll bulldoze the next gym with no trouble at all.

Overlord of Ice? Does that mean you're a Yeti? I thought I was one of the only monsters here!

Most of those otherworldy forces wouldn't be so bad if I had access to my usual weaponry. As long as I remind myself of that, they're not too alarming.

[Of course, giant robots tend to be an advantage against most threats.]

Ha, well, suppose I've gotten a bit used ta strange things happenin' in October.

[Or, at least, Joker acts like he has. Fake it 'til you make it.]

Besides that, glad ta see yer takin' on the gyms well enough! I just started myself. They been givin' ya much trouble?

[Saffron City, huh?]

Do you believe yourself to be prepared for Miss Sabrina? I hear she is quite challenging.

As for the occurrence in October...let's just say I've experienced many strange things, and that was just one of the stranger ones.

[Lightning is not impressed with the dramatics. Then again, she's not impressed by much here.]

I made sure not to get involved. After seeing my sister change, I wanted no part of it.

[shatterings]

Congratulations, Gundam.

[ That part's said with a smile. The next, though... Naminé looks pretty unsettled. ]

It... was definitely strange. And I didn't like it very much.

[crystalballer]

Oooh, Tanaka-chi! You gotta take me with you to Saffron! Or...I'll meet you there, whatever works! I'll be your moral support when you battle Sabrina!

[He's so enthusiastic about this... It's been quite some time since he ventured over to Saffron to annoy the crap out of visit Sabrina. Plus it'll be cool to watch Gundam battle a gym leader!

...]

As for October, uh...well, I'm just glad I'm not dead anymore. For a sec there I was pretty worried I'd be a ghost forever.

[Heh. This guy sure is... lively, for lack of a better word. Riku can't help but chuckle a little at his speech. It's so dramatic, like someone from a superhero cartoon.

But eh. He knows better than to be a jerk about it, at least.]

Nah, it's definitely gone back to the routine. Honestly, things going nuts in October is just another part of that routine. It's been happening ever since I got here, and that was five years ago...

[He pauses, glancing at a calendar on the wall.]

In fact, I bet you anything we'll be seeing a whole flood of newbies later this month. Always happens this time of year.

[video;rolls in ten years late]

[solas_ion]

Didn't bother me at all.

[and apparently neither does your weird speech pattern, you odd child.]

I thought it was kind of fun, actually.
