[ The camera clicks on to reveal Talim looking a bit contemplative. The bright green head and pink flora of her Meganium, Dango, can be seen over her shoulder, if one cares to look. The background is moving, and it's clear she's riding the pokémon. In fact, anyone along Route 38 will find the tiny Wind Priestess sitting cross-legged on the Meganium's back as he pads along.
She also has something in her hand, and upon closer inspection, it's clearly a Fog Badge:
She twirls it idly between her fingers for a moment. ]
Four badges in the course of a year. I can think of a couple people who would be very disappointed with my progress.
[ She smiles then, a little amused. ]
I have been here for a year now. It's strange- it doesn't really seem like it's been that long. Even all that time spent in Ecruteak seemed to fly by. During my time here, I have built and trained a team. We're more like a family now, even with our new members. [ the camera pans to a black and yellow egg in her lap, and up again, to a Swoobat flying alongside the trundling Meganium, before settling back on Talim ]
I have made friends... and lost them as well, but that is the way of life no matter where you are. I'm grateful for what I do have, and glad that the people who have returned home were able to, even if I miss them. And I do miss them. [ she looks sad for a second, but the smile comes back quickly ]
So I guess I just wanted to thank you all, even if we haven't spoken much. Even the smallest conversations have shaped my experience here. This year has been unpredictable, yes, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
