[She's working from March 20th, so this just feels like a weird replay. And Christmas sort of lost its magic for her so she doesn't feel particularly impressed anyway.]
[She'll take another cute animal companion though. She doesn't mind that.]
Well, the second you get to Cherrygrove, go to the Pokemon Center. It's gonna be the big building with the red roof, can't miss it. You can stay there as long as you need to.
[He falls silent a moment, thinking.]
Say, Molly. You're...traveling by yourself right now, yeah?
I'm in a town right now called Goldenrod City. On foot...it'd prolly take about a month to get here from Cherrygrove, and and maybe a couple days to a week if you're flying.
But the reason I asked is cause...I didn't really like traveling alone when I first got here. I'm with a friend of mine right now and it's a whole lot better. I'm not sure where we'll be headed next, but it looks like we're gonna be in Goldenrod at least for the rest of this month.
But if you ever wanna get somewhere quick, or have someone to travel with...just call me and let me know, okay? I've got Pokemon you can ride and fly on, so it makes traveling go by a lot quicker.
[Jimmy, you are officially the best. Molly's quiet as she listens (and woah, flying!?) but there's an obvious little smile in her voice when she answers.]
Thanks! You're really nice.
[So earnestly. She's so happy you're a nice person, Jimmy. c:]
[She'd also really like to help him back somehow, but her power isn't working, and as much as that's distressing her she's not going to tell him about that yet.]
Mhm! It's called the Eve's Garden Circus, run by the friend I'm traveling with, Joker! You know how circuses have animals and acrobats and stuff like that?
Well this one is the same, but it's got Pokemon instead! I'm one of the side acts in the show, actually! [A "jack of all trades", as Joker has put it.] So I could get you a really good seat, right up front! A big show is held once a month here and everything.
[WEEHHH THIS IS SO CUTE...that's fine, he's sure he'll be seeing her in person soon enough.
And as far as Molly is concerned...later the same day she'll find a Pidgey fly its way down to her with a package clasped in its talons. It's a bracelet with her name (complete with a few beads that have- what else- Natu printed on them) from Jimmy.
[AW JIMMYyyyy no but actually Molly is absolutely writing "Thank you for the bracelet! I love it!" on the back of the drawing and then making an envelope out of another sheet of paper for it. So she can give it to the Pidgey so she can send it back with it so he can have it in person.]

It should be a bird, right? Since it's an egg.
[audio, 25/12]
[SO YEAH ABOUT IT GETTING WEIRDER...]
[audio, 25/12]
Even the dogs?
[????]
... no wonder some people don't know what a giraffe is. Nothing here is normal at all.
[She doesn't sound like that's a bad thing, but .. what.]
[audio, 25/12]
Even the dogs, yup. I don't think anyone really knows why...it just happens.
[audio, 25/12]
I guess it makes sense. They're not like normal pets, anyway.
I didn't name my bird yet. I can't think of something that'd fit.
[Being, you know, such an extraordinary bird, apparently. It's tricky. Like, a normal name won't work, right?]
[audio, 25/12]
That's a thing.]
I'm sure you'll think of something! I usually go with whatever reminds me of them...or I name them after somebody I know back home.
[audio, 25/12]
Yeah! At home, Mohinder has a lizard named Mohinder. It's great because you can talk about the lizard and confuse Mohinder on purpose.
[audio, 25/12]
If my pal Lucius were here, he'd be real confused if he met my Houndoom. ...cause his name is Lucius, too.
[audio, 25/12]
[audio, 25/12]
[MOLLY DON'T ENCOURAGE HIM...]
[audio, 25/12]
[She laughs more, then kind of audibly settles back down, probably into her sleeping bag. There's a small chirp there too.]
Hey, do you know if there's a place to stay when you get to the Cherry town? I don't have a lot of money.
[audio, 25/12]
[He falls silent a moment, thinking.]
Say, Molly. You're...traveling by yourself right now, yeah?
[audio, 25/12]
[That sounds great, and helpful. And for the question:]
I guess not. I met this guy and we're going the same way. And I have my bird.
[Just you know, they're not really travelling together, together. At least not by her understanding.]
[audio, 25/12]
But the reason I asked is cause...I didn't really like traveling alone when I first got here. I'm with a friend of mine right now and it's a whole lot better. I'm not sure where we'll be headed next, but it looks like we're gonna be in Goldenrod at least for the rest of this month.

I hope you get a lot of gifts today.
[audio, 25/12]
[He's smiling on his end as he lies in bed, staring up at the ceiling.]
I hope you do too. Have a good Christmas today, okay Molly?
[There's another brief pause, then:]
By the way...when you do make it to Goldenrod, you should really come see the circus.
[audio, 25/12]
[Also what]
There's a circus? What kind?
[audio, 25/12]
Well this one is the same, but it's got Pokemon instead! I'm one of the side acts in the show, actually! [A "jack of all trades", as Joker has put it.] So I could get you a really good seat, right up front! A big show is held once a month here and everything.
[audio, 25/12]
What's your part?
Or maybe it's a surprise.
[audio, 25/12]
[audio, 25/12]
Thank you Jimmy! Merry Christmas.
