Um... This is Bertolt, and if you're hearing this I'm probably busy. You can leave a message here or call back later if you want? ...Can I start over?

It's okay.

Part of me still wants to go back home to my friend, but... I think it's better for both of us if I stay here. I think it's what he'd want, too.

[guiltyeyes]

Maybe one day your friend will show up here.

That's kind of what I'm hoping for mine.

They're my only friends at home. We're in an Idol Group together and we're all a team... Without me there, I feel like I'm letting them down. While I like it here a lot, it still makes me wonder.

You and I aren't from the same circumstances at all. But!! I guess there's that we have in common, right?

[bertall]

He's my best friend. I've|

We've always been together since we were little kids, so it's still pretty hard trying to adjust without him around. I've already found a house for us if he comes back.

But you're right - it's something. Though, uh... What's an Idol Group?

[guiltyeyes]

I just returned to my best friend after leaving for a long time. All of my friends are important but Kanan has been my best friend since we were little... It makes me a little sad to think that we're apart again.

An Idol Group is like a band! We sing and dance and do performances for fun and for competitions. We have lots of costumes and songs~ It's why I want to do this contest so bad. It will feel like home again. Even if it's just me and Spinel, hehe!

[bertall]

I know how that feels. Until he showed up here for a few days, Reiner said he hadn't seen me for almost four. It's rough, but I've been doing what I can for him.

Have you thought about starting one here?

[guiltyeyes]

Maybe! I would have to find people who are interested.

And people who don't think it's silly.

It's popular as heck in Japan but most places think it's childish. It's not.

[bertall]

If anything, uh... I do have a Pokemon that's been trying to sing a lot. She's pretty shy, but I'll bring her to Celadon so she can watch you.

I'm... still not sure if I'll try it out myself but at the very least I'll be there.

[guiltyeyes]

I'd love to meet her and you properly.

Even if you don't compete, it should be fun to watch everyone do their best.

I don't think it would kill you to give it a shot. Get your best Pokemon and let yourself shine~ ☆☆☆

Do that for me at least, Bertolt~? ♡

[bertall]

I don't know what I'd be good at, honestly.

[guiltyeyes]

What do you enjoy doing?

OR! Better yet: What do your Pokemon enjoy doing?

Like your Big Dog~ What's his favorite thing to do?

[ she knows his name but big dog is better ]

[bertall]

That's a hard one. On both accounts.

Marcel, uh... I don't think anyone wants to watch him chewing on his own butt for a whole segment.

[guiltyeyes]

does he know any tricks?

[bertall]

uh...

He knows his basics, and then he also knows how to take people down if they're a threat like a police dog|
I went into the academy with him for something to do and to give him something new to try and uh
one of his tests
he melted a wall??

this is hopeless

[guiltyeyes]

There you go!!

MELTING DOWN WALLS IS SO METAL!!

They'd love that!

[ they probably don't want property damage but ok ]

bless them tbh

[bertall]

_{[Oh goodness.]}

I think I'd get in trouble for that

It's really hot fire and uhhh
I don't know how I'd center something around that.

[guiltyeyes]

Can he control the amount of fire he uses or the severity?

Cuz I could so see jumping through his own fire hoops and stuff being a real hit with the judges. I ride horses at home so maybe you can sit on his back and have him bend around poles that are on fire!

[bertall]

To an exte|

wait

do what??
Wouldn't|

Wouldn't there be a risk of me getting burnt too? If it's hoops?

[guiltyeyes]

One: Practice.

Two: What's a little fun without a risk?

You can't fly if you don't jump!

[bertall]

I don't want to get myself burnt! It's not fun!

_{[How does he know what it's like? Raising six Growlithe puppies at once.]}

[guiltyeyes]

I've only burned my wrist on the oven before when I was making pizza.

I'm trying my best here... Just throwing out ideas, you know?

[bertall]

I still do that sometimes when I'm cooking|

but I know. I appreciate it, it's just a little hard when I'm not really, uh...
I'm not really a show-y person.
Reiner was more outgoing than I could ever be

[guiltyeyes]

I'm more outgoing than my best friend. It's kind of the opposite like that.

Dia and Kanan are more reserved and Dia is really shy. If she didn't have me, she'd be cranky and clam up forever.

I can be a little too encouraging to them sometimes, whoopsie.

[bertall]

It's easier for me to let other people talk for me most of the time. It's... I mean, it wasn't always like that? When we were kids, I think I ended up picking Reiner up more often than he did me. It wasn't until we were a little older that our roles reversed, but I'm okay with it.

There's just a limit to what I'll let happen to me, you know?

...Can you think of something that involves less fire? Or a risk of getting myself hurt?

[guiltyeyes]

Arcanine can run really fast, right?

If they can run that fast, they've gotta be nimble. Have you thought of an agility course?

They show them on TV all the time. Dogs do timed races with jumps and climbing and expert turns.

[bertall]

Marcel might be a little big for that but ummmmm

maybe one of his sons? i have two of them and i have a daughter of his too
I haven't tried to evolve her yet though. She's pretty small compared to how he was as a Growlithe so she might be a little more suited for it.
