[It's about 11PM on New Years Eve. The feed begins in the middle of the Goldenrod Pokemon Center. There are quite a few trainers bustling around in the Center despite the time. There are probably two reasons for that. 1) it's New Years and trainers are ready to ring in the new year or 2) they're watching some kind of performance going on.

Someone is dressed up in a funky costume that some people may recognize, doing a bunch of tricks and poses, albeit slightly clumsily. They're using a broom in place of a weapon for some of the tricks. They finish up the routine with some attack called "Early Summer Rain Jab" and the audience applauds them.

As the crowd disperses, the costumed person walks over to the 'Gear and picks it up. As the view shifts, we see that it was a Pokemon who was holding the 'Gear before: a Wobbuffet. Well, only a few people in Johto have a Wobbuffet...]

Heh, so what'd you guys think?

[Says the person underneath the mask. Even more familiar than the Wobbuffet is the person's voice. It's quite different than before when he was calling out attacks, but there's no doubt who it is.

Once the mask is off, it's no surprise to see that it was Larry under there. Or maybe it is a surprise. His face is a bit flushed from wearing that mask for a while.]

Pretty cool, huh? My Steel Samurai costume showed up on Christmas, so I thought I'd use it to ring in the New Year! Did I ever tell you guys I played a popular fictional character back home? Well if not, the cat's out of the bag now! [He laughs, rubbing the back of his head.] I'm actually kinda surprised I remembered most of the attacks. It's been a while!

Sooo, how are you guys celebrating? Anybody having a party? Any ladies out there in need of someone to kiss for the New Year? [He laughs again at that one. JUST KIDDING, UR...] I'm in the mood for some fun tonight!

[Why would anyone let you into their party, Larry.]

Heeey! Guess who finally saved up enough for that Kanto trip?

[Larry looks excited. Even more excited than he was the last time he posted.]

The date I had last week—which was amazing by the way—set me back a bit, but I finally caught up to get tickets for me and Barney. Just in time too! I'm gonna buy the tickets right after this post.

Man, Kanto's gonna be so awesome. It's like I'll really be living in the video game I played as a kid. I can't wait! 'Course I'll have to come back to get my last badges eventually, but I just have to see Kanto now...

[And there he goes, rambling about Kanto and childhood nostalgia.

Unfortunately...Larry hasn't yet realized that he got the date for the maiden voyage of the magnet train wrong and that he's missed it. Who wants to break the bad news to the poor guy before he finds out the hard way?]

[The feed opens up to a huge egg taking up all of the screen. Eventually it moves away and Larry's lap comes into view...and eventually Larry himself, sitting on the couch in his hotel room. He's holding what seems to be a Metal Coat in his other hand, and he's definitely showing that thing off, oh yeah he is. He looks ridiculously happy about this Metal Coat.]

Guys! Didja see the new stuff at the department store?! They have Metal Coats!

So, my question is going to be painfully obvious: who wants to help me evolve my Onix? I'm in Goldenrod of course.

[There's a pause as Larry remembers something.]

Oh yeah... I forgot to let you guys know I was back! Well uh...I am. Surprise! To my buds in Goldenrod, we should hang out sometime! I haven't seen a lot of you in...a while...

[He trails off as he realizes that oh snap his egg is glowing. He points the 'Gear camera at the glowing egg.]

Well look at that! Nice timing, egg! 'bout frickin' time too. Guess you guys get to see what's in this thing.

[The egg starts taking shape into a Pokémon...and it gets bigger. And bigger. And bigger. Eventually, it's almost as big as Larry, practically crushing him.]

W-Waaaaaaugh!

[But it doesn't stop there. Eventually it grows into a nearly seven foot tall...dinosaur. A Tropius, to be exact. The feed only shows a small bit of it however, since Larry is now sprawled under the Pokémon. His voice is muffled, but loud enough to hear.]

How does that even work?!

[Suddenly, the noise of the couch collapsing can be heard, and the feed shorts out.]
