[It's around evening that the feed clicks on to show Riku... seated on a rooftop overlooking the ocean because hey, sunset. It's a great view, an even greater backdrop, and there might be some greater reason behind it.
In fact, there most certainly is.]
So, summer. Probably the best time to hit the beach. The sun, the sand, the surf... What's not to like? For all my complaining about the islands, I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss them sometimes.
[He pauses, shaking his head.]
But this isn't about me. It's about Sora. See, his birthday's coming up on the 23rd, so we're gonna be having a party down in Vermilion. A beach party.
[He raises an index finger, grinning.]
But, see, Sora's a sap. He'd make friends with just about anyone, so this party's gonna be open to anyone who wants a good time. Might even make it a potluck-- celebrate the summer with a bang, before the temperatures drop. It is almost August now...
[After a few moments, his grin fades, and he looks toward the ocean with a calmer expression.]
Though I've gotta wonder. What do you think the average age is for guys like us? And for that matter, I wonder how many people have stuck around for more than a year... Seems like there aren't as many kids as adults nowadays. Kinda funny when you think about it.
[The locals start their journeys at age ten, yet so many of them are twenty and up...
He shrugs, waving a hand.]
Anyway, we can set up transportation if you're outta town. Otherwise, I'll catch you later.

[Because if so... huh. Sounds like he matured a lot better than some 'mons in his experience.]
I swear my dragons could learn a thing or two from him. Well, besides Crush. He's always been pretty docile.

[She still remembers when he finally evolved to Dragonite the first time. He took a couple glances at his arms, then his wings, then flapped up into the sky and just kind of lazily drifted around for a while.]
Your Pokemon, well... I don't know what it is with your luck, but you just keep seeming to get the more, ah, intense personalities.

[Why yes, he just went there. Teasing never ceases with this loser.]
And I don't get it, either. I lucked out with Slacker and Flare, I guess. Ace is generally laid back, but then you've got Phantom, Draco, Terror...
Maybe I'm a trouble magnet.

[Not that Twilight can imagine Riku doing something too awful. Really, what's the worst he could manage?]
