[ Judging by the slight bob of the camera and the occasional glimpse of a building, Talim is walking as she's recording. She's making her way from the gym to the Pokémon Center. Talim smiles, holding something up for the camera to see.

I made Kalana promise not to record my battle with Falkner, but as you can see it ended in my favor. Syi Salika did most of the work.

It must be difficult, being a gym leader. Especially when people take up the Gym Challenge late in their stay, like I did. My team is already creeping their way to level ninety. I have to wonder sometimes if, when they act outraged at losing, it's just an act. Surely it has to be. I can't imagine them leading happy lives if they truly take each loss that badly.
[ Whitney especially, but she won't say as much. She does look thoughtful for a moment, though ]
I think, if this were truly my home- if I had been born and raised here- I might entertain the thought of becoming a gym leader.
But that's a silly thought, right?

Scyther? Scy.
Anyway, I'll be heading back to Goldenrod soon. If anybody would like to take the shortcut, you're welcome to join me.
