[ For once, the video clicks on, instead of the poor network being flooded with obnoxious red text. Dave is lounging in a chair, behind a café table somewhere in Goldenrod, with a bubble tea in one hand. ]

Ladies. Strider needs a favour.

[ Why yes, he's talking to all of you. Or any of you, really. ]

I'm willing to offer a few hours of my time to the first pretty girl to lend me her Fly HM. Dinner, on me, anywhere in Goldenrod.

[ A beat. ]

Dinner on the table, actually. But I'll pay for it.

[ He flashes the briefest of grins, one eyebrow cocking up above his shades — ]

Clock's ticking.

[— and turns the feed off. ]

Oh, but we already know her answer.

Tough guy with a soft heart. [[She clearly thinks she's going to win this.]]

Is that what you'd call Soul? [ He's momentarily distracted by being amused. ]

I believe so, yes. Not nearly as stoic and cold as you can be, but he can be pretty close some days.

Cold? Nah. I'll give you stoic, though.

Oh you have your days, Strider. Cold is certainly an adjective I could apply to you.

Must run in the family, then.
