Room 025 [video]

_{[There is lots of clanging and bumping as the feed turns on to reveal a hotel bathroom. A Shellder happily peeks out of a MOUNTAIN of soap suds and Henry's arm with the sleeve rolled up can be seen with a sponge in-hand.]}

Heh, I'll bet that's better, huh, little guy? Smile!


_{[Clam waggles his tongue happily and ducks down into the soapy water before popping back up and balancing on the tub's edge. It's clear that the big HENRY that had been scribbled onto him with a sharpie ages ago is slowly being scrubbed away. The H and part of the R Y still remain.]}

When this place says permanent marker, it means it. Protip: don't draw on your pokemon, no matter how good an idea it seems.

_{[Henry's ego inflates just a bit. It's so nice to hear somebody appreciating photography at all.]}

I was around Cherrygrove at the time. Do you see the Hoot Hoot in the photo? He's on my team now.

[tendered]

Did he ever evolve?! I think it's really cool that you have something you can look at and define it as the beginning of something! [ She wishes she can do that with all of the people Squad five gets now... ]

[no_ufo_ending]

Not yet. I'm afraid I'm not much of a trainer. My pokemon aren't very high leveled.

[tendered]

It's okay! My pokémon grow slowly, but I use a lot of creative strategies to make up for it! You may not be much of a trainer, but you should keep training to try and build up your pokémon's skill set. Growth is an important part of training! I'll train with you, if you want? We can both take it easy!

[no_ufo_ending]

Maybe so. We'll have to see.

_{[This girl has been nothing but friendly but she's a straaaangeerrrrrr.]}

[tendered]

Okay! For future reference, I'm Momo Hinamori! Lieutenant of Squad five! What's your name? [ She should have remembered to include her name, because now it's just weird. She offered to help him train without even giving any sort of identity! ]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Oh man, somebody from the army!]}

I've never met a Lieutenant before... I'm Henry.

[tendered]

Hehe! Well, they're the second highest rank one can be! Well, actually, third. There's Captain and then Captain Commander! It means I am really really talented, and I'm glad I can be in such a high position because it means I can support other people.

<sub>[Something that almost looks like panic washes over Henry's face before her brings a hand up the side of his head in an awkward salute.]

[That's what you do to Lieutenants right?]</sub>

That's great, ma'am.

[tendered]

There's no need to salute me! We're both the same rank here, I guess, you know? Like, I'm only a lieutenant back home and you aren't an underling under any circumstances so we're both equals! [ She salutes back, not really as awkwardly, but then drops it to encourage him to cease the saluting! ]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry slowly lowers his hand and trades the salute for looking embarrassed.]}

Yes, ma'am.

[tendered]

I'm sorry if that made you feel uncomfortable, or something. I just don't think I should receive special treatment. We're friends after all, or, at least we're friendly acquaintances.

[no_ufo_ending]

You still deserve respect, though. You worked hard.

[tendered]

Yeah, but respect me as a friend. Everyone deserves a little respect, regardless of who they are. Chances are, they worked pretty hard too.
