( video )
[ the phone is obviously propped up somewhere when the feed begins, because there's some out-of-focus fussing, then joshua steps back, smiling a little shyly. he lifts a hand to wave it, looking a little nervous. the palm is wrapped in bandages-- both of them, actually, and there are several bandaids across his brow, only visible because his curls have been pulled away from his face in a ponytail.
it looks like he might be in someone's large back yard-- or perhaps a dog park, considering the number of canines running around behind him, playing and barking. he gestures behind himself as if to illustrate hey!! dogs!! then holds up an index finger as if to ask for a moment. he ducks down out of the frame of the video, and pops back up a moment later with this sweet little old lady in his arms. he gently sets her down on the picnic table the phone is propped up on, and she settles comfortably, stretching her nose out to sniff before glancing back at josh once more.
there's a fidgety moment, his face a little red beneath his freckles, and his lips part.. then shut. they part again, and haltingly: ] Her name is Gemma. [ his hands move as he speaks, signing the words, as if he can't help himself. he doesn't like speaking, which is probably obvious from the slightly uncomfortable expression, but he's also aware that most people don't exactly understand his language. ]
She's ten and she's been here for two years. She's really sweet. The shelter thinks she wasn't being adopted because she.. had a heart problem and arthritis, but.. I fixed it. [ he reaches to scratch her ears, and she stretches out underneath his hand, resting her chin on her paws.
he glances back up a moment later, plucking a little at his bandages. ] .. If you know anyone looking for an easygoing small dog.. That's all I wanted to say. Thank you!

[The little thing yips in Red's arms - almost as if he can understand what Red just typed? It's not that, exactly. But he can hear Red's thoughts.
[Speaking of which, if that Gemma is just your average, every day dog, he should be able to talk to her too...
[Sorry Joshua, but he's going to space out for a minute here and focus on little Gemma, sending her a message with his mind.
[Hey, girl. Can you hear me?
[Then, because he's learned slowly that people don't really like it when he ignores them in order to stare silently at their animals, he sends Josh another quick text.]

[But...not really, considering that Pokémon are basically as sentient as people are. Red doesn't say that though - he doesn't even think it because he doesn't want the dogs to get upset!]

[God, Red loves dogs so much and he's gonna give the one in his lap just the most gentle, loving little squeeze. Meanwhile, Pikachu puffs its cheeks out in distaste - how dare Red pay attention to another animal over him?]
