[ It's Valentine's Day! The skies are blue, the sun is up, the Pokémon are singing— and what better way to celebrate it than giving free Valentine's chocolate? That's right, for the past week Kobato has been really busy making home-made sloppy Valentines chocolates in the local inn's kitchen for her friends with the help of all her Pokémon. And now the chocolates have all been packed and have been sent to the respective people through the Pidgey Delivery Service!

The problem is?

They made a little too much chocolate and now there are piles of boxes of chocolate scattered in her room, and she's not sure who to send them to. So! ]

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! This is the best Valentine's I've ever had and I really wish Ioryogi-san were here with me to celebrate it! Also, I hope the people who I sent chocolates to got them! But um, I have a little problem. You see, I think we made... a little too much chocolate, hehe. [ And behind her, you might see piles of carefully wrapped boxes of chocolate stacked on top one another, just waiting to be given. ] So if anyone wants chocolate, please tell me and I'll send them over as soon as possible! They're really good, I promise!! [ And she pouts a little, just for good measure. COME ON, WHO CAN SAY NO TO THAT FACE AND TO FREE CHOCOLATE? :( ]

[ And with that, the feed ends. Kobato can now be seen all over Violet City, carrying with her a basket filled with assorted chocolate goodies and just handing them to everyone she sees, even to the NPCs. Bump into her/say hello/ask for free chocolate? ]

[ It's early morning. You might still be asleep (or trying to get back to sleep) with your Gear accidentally turned on to the network, you might be training so early in the morning, or you might be staring into space or doing something else entirely— whatever it is you might be doing, it's interrupted by a girl singing a soft lullaby in the background. She sounds really gentle and tender as she sings, almost as if she's singing to a baby.

Meanwhile, a little backstory!! : Kobato really isn't the kind who wakes up early. After all, she likes playing with Momo-san the Happiny, and now Growl-kun the Growlithe, until they tire themselves out. So when they found a Dark Cave to rest in after playing all day, they settled themselves just near the entrance, sure that they were going to have a good long sleep.

But unfortunately... that's not the case, because Kobato wakes up a little too early this morning when she hears a ruckus. Turns out a Teddiursa was trying to steal their food while they were asleep, but Growl-kun noticed and immediately barked and growled at the poor little Pokemon. Kobato wakes up just before the Growlithe's about to pounce at the Teddiursa, and the shaken, frightened little thing immediately runs towards her, arms outstretched and crying.

So now she's just trying to calm the Teddiursa by singing him a song, which seems to work because he's stopped crying and is just holding onto her, and the Growlithe has also quieted down. What she doesn't know however, is that Momo-san, who happens to be a sneaky little Happiny, is trying to record the whole song without her knowledge.

Just towards the end of the lullaby though, she finally notices the Happiny holding a light source amidst the darkness of the cave, and just like that, the singing stops. ]

Eh? Momo-san...? What are you hol—

[ And then the feed ends. Ask her why she was singing so early in the morning, why she stopped, or tell her her stupid singing interrupted your good sleep? ]

[ Did you guys have a fun Christmas? ♥ We hope so! Who else had a fun Christmas? Well, Kobato did! She spent the holiday with Momo-san, Innkeeper-san, and the other workers at the Cherrygrove Inn who treated her so well even if she just started working a few days ago. They had lots of yummy Christmas cake, lots of delicious hot chocolate, but the best part, of course, would be the awesome gifts she found inside her bag! Even when she's a little sad that she has no idea who gave them to her, she's still pretty psyched because asdfg;aa her bottle is here!! *u*

And that is why, when the video starts, people will notice that Kobato is looking especially happy today. She's also holding a pretty albeit empty bottle close to her. She's so excited, because this means she can finally get started on healing hearts in Johto!

... Little does she know, however, that even if she manages to heal someone's heart, the bottle still won't fill up with the healed hearts. But let's not get into that... yet. :(

Kobato stares a little too excitedly into the screen, almost as if she can see through the other end of the 'Gear, almost as if she's actually staring right at you. And then all of a sudden-- ]

If anyone has a pained heart... if anyone has a sad or damaged heart...

Please let me heal you!!

[The first thing that appears in the screen is a really huge brown eye. So huge in fact, that it fills the entire screen. The eye blinks once, twice, and then it squints. And then suddenly, this huge brown eye begins to talk.]

Eeeh?? I can't see anything!!

[Except, not really. The eye pulls back to show a very perplexed and confused looking girl, trying to look for the man a.k.a the mechanical voice who was speaking earlier about dreams and adventures and the world of Pokémon. And yes, she's very much unaware that the video is going on.]

I think I remember seeing a woman talk to this thing in a television before... maybe I should try it?

[And all of a sudden she bows in front of the PokéGear as if it were a person.]

Hello! My name is Kobato Hanato! It's nice to meet you! I'm not sure how I woke up here, I'm sure I slept in my room... The nice landlady-san who gave me lunch didn't explain anything to me either, and I really don't know what a Pokémon is. [She also holds up a Happiny who smiles in front of the video.] This cute little thing keeps following me around too, and I think it must be lost. Do you know who owns her?

Ah! Anyway it's important that I get back home or else I'm going to be late again! So please answer, Voice-san!! [Kobato smiles and bows again, still blissfully unaware that the feed is still on.]

Was that alright, Ioryogi-san? [She looks around, just suddenly noticing that her companion was nowhere to be seen. A look of panic suddenly forms on her face.] Ioryogi-san...? Ioryogi...

Ioryogi-san!! W-W-Where did you go?! [She flails dramatically, giving a large dramatic gasp as thoughts of more distress begin to flood her mind.] DID I LOSE HIM AGAIN?!? I HAVE TO GO FIND HIM!!!

Ioryogi-sa... [She runs to begin her search for the blue dog, but suddenly slips and falls into the snow. Stupid snow.] Ow, that hurt!!

So Kobato just found out about the "Pidgey Delivery Service" through Athrun, and now she's going to make use of it by sending chocolates to most of the people she's met in Johto, even to those who just recently arrived! She's been quite busy for the past week, making chocolates with her Pokemon, but now they will all be sent on the 13th and/or the morning of the 14th. The following people will be getting homemade valentine chocolates that look a little... sloppy to say the least, and I mean that in the are these supposed to be hearts...? / what kind of shapes are these anyway? kind of sloppy. But they're actually quite good! Because Kobato's a decent cook, even if it may not show in their appearance. So the people:



Orihime Inoue
Lacus Clyne
Little Mac
Maria Ushiromiya
Bartz Klauser
Misaki Suzuhara
Yosuke Hanamura
Souji Seta (who she knows as "Nice Guy-san" as thanks for the free eggs!)
Athrun Zala
Pearl Fey
Varon

The boxes also come with a small note in scrawly hand-writing saying, "Happy Valentine's Day! From Kobato (^-^)/"

If there's anyone missing/if you think your character should be in here, please don't hesitate to comment! BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I'M MISSING PEOPLE. OTL
