[Here's someone who hasn't been on the network so much lately. When Asami appears on the camera, anyone who hasn't seen her recently will notice that she looks a bit older.]

I finished it!

[Stepping away from the camera, she reveals a hotel courtyard with various tools and scraps scattered about. A metal contraption that appears to be some kind of battery sits a safe distance away at the center of the shot.]

At home, we employ lightningbenders to make our electricity. They shoot energy straight into batteries, and it can be stored efficiently without having to burn coal. I'm hoping I can get something to work similarly with Pokémon's electric attacks.

[She glances off camera.]

When you're ready, Supāku.

[A Flaafy shuffles onto the camera, winds up, and releases an electric attack at the metal conductors of Asami's invention. After several moments, an indicator meter on the device's facade turns to maximum, and the Flaafy stops.]

I think it worked!

[Asami trots over to the device with another 'Gear in hand (sorry Korra, she had to steal yours for science purposes) and plugs it in.]

It's charging!

[She turns back to the camera.]

I'm hoping I can continue working with this idea and eventually come up with something small enough for trainers to keep on their person while they're traveling. The technology here is evolved so much farther than at home, I think it might be possible.

I don't know yet... From what I've seen so far, things hold charge much better here than at home. I have to do some more extended testing. But it should definitely be something that can realistically be carried on the road.

Well once I've captured an electric Pokémon of my own- [since Ditto couldn't do anything beside Transform anyways] -I'll be sure to check in on how you're doing.

Great! I still have a lot of testing and tweaking to do before I can distribute, but this is a promising start!

[if it didn't blow up in his face if he let a Pikachu jolt it up, it did sound promising. it wasn't a long conversation, but hey, while he's on his way out of Route 29 and moving ahead, props are owed where he can see them]

Keep up the good work.

[he could give props to hard work when he saw it]

Thank you!
