[The feed comes on to show a forest, mostly clear of snow save for some stubborn drifts that have taken shelter beneath the evergreens. Exactly where this is isn't clear, though the music is that of the Lake of Rage, so that at least gives a general area. Apollo's voice comes from off-camera.]

It's almost spring now. I think that spring is my favorite season. You don't need to shelter from the cold and snow all the time and you can watch all the plants start to bud and the seeds sprout after being buried under the snow. Everything's beginning fresh. The best part about this spring though is that it's warm enough again that I don't have to wear shoes anymore. My feet have been sore wearing boots all the time, even worse than just putting on shoes to go into a store or work at the Pokémon Center. Covering your feet makes sense if you're going out in the snow, but I still don't understand why people keep wanting me to wear shoes to come inside where the floors aren't cold, or why anyone would want shoes to have such thick bottoms. I can't feel the ground when I'm wearing shoes and they seem like they're shaped to make me walk differently. They aren't comfortable.

Once it gets warmer and the ground softens, I'm going to try planting some of the berries that I got from the berry orchard in Pallet Town. They're supposed to need to be kept warm all the time in something called a "hothouse". They don't look like they're hard to make. I'll just need to find materials to make them out of. I can probably find something useful in Goldenrod City.

I think I've figured out what kinds of places the berry plants on the routes grow best in, but the people at the berry orchard couldn't tell me much about where the plants that they were growing grow naturally. Has anyone else tried to grow berries?

...Man, I can't say I've ever heard anyone so openly against shoes.

[Maybe it's because of his viewpoint, but the idea is kinda boggling.]

They're mainly designed to protect your feet-- not just keep them warm. Thick bottoms? Well, if you step on sharp rocks, nails, or broken glass, they'll shield the bottoms of your feet.

Well, outside you might step on sharp sticks or rocks or arrow heads. [ people just don't watch where they drop those things! ]

Wouldn't it take a long time to grow a berry plant from the seeds?

...Did you grow up not using shoes?

[Well...those are pretty decent reasons why one would be against wearing shoes.]

I think you might be wearing the wrong size.
