The next day Joe leads you and your friends up the hill again but at the end of the day he leads you in a different direction! After a little while you see <span class="mu-r">a videophone</span>! You look at the videophone and then look at Joe.
Joe grins at you and puts a coin in the videophone and pushes some buttons.
The videophone beeps and then you hear Booker's voice! "How do you turn this on?"
"TANI!"
"I know which button it is!"
The videophone beeps again and then you see Booker! You wave at the videophone screen!
"Hi, Booker!"
"Hrmph. Haven't heard from either of you in a while." Booker looks at Joe. "Still practicing like I told you?"
"Um, that's what I was calling about. We-"
Suddenly you hear Mashi's voice say "Who is it?" and then Mashi peeks over Booker's shoulder! When Mashi sees you and Joe her eyes get bigger and she says "Hi, guys!"
Volito drifts in front of Mashi and says "VO-LITO!"
Mashi pushes past Volito and says "Scoot over, Volito!"
You wave at Mashi and Volito on the videophone screen!
"We're entering a tournament tomorrow night!"
Mashi looks at Psykid and smiles and says "Hey, my hat!"
Torrentani floats up over Booker's other shoulder and says "TANI!" and then you wave at the screen again!
"Hi, Torrentani!"
Booker says "Get out of here, you useless guppy!" and fumbles and grabs his cane and swings it around at Torrentani Mashi and Volito all dodge out of the way and then Booker looks at the screen again. "What's this about a tournament?"
"I was hoping I could get some advice from you. About who to pick for my <span class="mu-r">starter mon</span>."
"Starter mons..." Booker looks away for a moment. "Well, there are a few ideas on how to choose one, but I've always said your starter should be a good all-around defender since you're going in blind."
"Blind?"
Booker glances at you and says "In a tournament, you don't know what type of mon your opponent is going to be using as his starter." He looks at Joe and says "The idea is to wear out your opponent's starter. Force your opponent to put in his second mon against your starter. Now you've got the advantage because you can pick the best choice to counter his second mon, and you know what his third mon is going to be."
It seems like Booker really does know a lot about mon tournaments! You look at Joe and Joe nods at the videophone screen and says "I really appreciate everything you've done for us."
"Hrmph. Talking about it is the easy part." Booker looks at you and Ramster. "How are you treating those mons of yours?"
Ramster sticks out his chest and says "Ram-ram!"
Tamounda stands up as high as he can and looks at the videophone screen and says "Tamounda!"
Lottatax climbs up onto Tamounda and looks at the screen and says "Lottatax!"
"Hrmph. Seems like they're well-fed, anyway." Booker looks at you. "Anything else?"
