[It's been a long time since Banjou was last on the network.

He has his same setup from the last time, playing away at his acoustic guitar. This time, he's playing something he probably heard on the radio.]

I have a question, for those of you who have been here a long time. How many Pokemon do you have? Where did you find them and what are their names?

I have a pretty small team, and I'm content with that right now, though I'm sure getting more wouldn't hurt. I'm just curious about everyone else here, especially from those who have been here for years.

[He honestly doesn't even hear the BGM anymore, he just tunes them out completely. It makes playing guitar easy, at least.]

I only had a few for a long time. Even now I only have twelve of them.

How did you come up with their names?

I don't know how anyone could have more than what they can carry with them... It doesn't seem fair to the others, in my opinion.

Amy is Amy because she reminds me of a kitten who lived as a stray around my hometown... And Sandy kicked up so much sand, it was hard to breathe while we fought the first time. Sometimes she'll use Sand Attack without me telling her to, as well. I'm not exactly the most creative with names...

Ah, it's all right-- the others live in the house, or in the garden. I change my team enough that no one ever gets jealous.

[If Pokemon even can get jealous-- he's not sure.

He smiles at Madoka's explanation.]

That's cute; I like fitting names like that for Pokemon.

That's good. But I'm still not sure if I could ever do that... Does having so many Pokemon to take care of get expensive? Even with just these four, I know a large sum of what I get for helping out goes into taking care of them. ...And you'll have even more now, since...

...Thank you. Can I ask who you have with you right now...?

It can get expensive, but it isn't a problem for me.

I have Kamu, a Bibarel; Kagayaki, a Sylveon; Suzume, a Murkrow; Ao, a Pachirisu, Dai, a Beedrill; and Toru, a Granbull.

I have a few others, but they stay at home right now-- they're not my current team.

That's also good. May I ask where you get your money?

[...Radiance, Sparrow, Blue, Big... Nice naming conventions you have there, Banjou. Not that simple names are bad at all, but it's surprising he could give them Japanese(?) names, to her. She can't speak a word of Japanese out loud at all right now.]

I've never heard of those Pokemon, but those are nice names, I'm sure.

[He can speak it when he really concentrates, and using Japanese words make things easier for him, even if they are the most random, unoriginal names.]

You can look up what they are on the Gear.

[He could probably send pictures, too.]

Oh! That's right...

[There's a few minutes of just the top of Madoka's head, while she messes around with her Gear and her Pokedex, trying to figure out how to search for Pokemon she's never seen... And when she finds it, her voice comes back in.]

What were their species again? I don't remember...

A Bibarel, a Sylveon, a Murkrow, a Pachirisu, a Beedrill, and a Granbull.

[Some of them are significantly cuter than others...]
