[Dimitri is still terrible at starting videos, as it turns out, because there's a little bit of shakiness, and a view of his foot.... and also the sound of itty bitty rumbling.]
[But then he gets his thumb out of the way, steadies his hands, and raises the camera up to a view of a backyard that is definitely not his. What are his would be the tiny itty bitty blur that is identifiable by color alone as a Miltank, and the large Emboar standing out there and patiently letting himself get hit by a level 5 Rollout.]
[Dean is in his 60s. This is not doing much.]
[And yet when the little baby Miltank ball finally bounces off of his leg and uncurls with a surprise noise, the enormous fire boar very gently starts to lower himself to the ground and splays out, Defeated.]
[Wobbling up to her feet, the tiny Miltank raises her hooves up in the air. VICTORY!!! A victory she decides to celebrate by immediately waddling in the direction of the camera with her hooves held out. LOOK, SHE DID A VICTORY, PRAISE? PRAISE???]
[The camera wobbles again as Dimitri shifts it to one hand so that his other can come into view as he reaches down to pet the little cow.]
Yes. You were just like Whitney's. You did so good, Gaibhenenn. Now go check on Dean.
[Having gotten her dose of praise, Gaibhenenn turns to toddle off towards where Dean is still obediently laying down, and gently starts to shake his shoulders. With Dean Very Obviously doing most of the work, he manages to roll over, and she presses his snout to the spot on his leg where she kept Rollouting him.]
[Dimitri keeps his voice very quiet as he continues to speak into the Gear.]
We went up against Whitney's gym only a few days ago, and I allowed Gaibhenenn to watch. It seems to have affected her quite a bit.
[And, well, he thought Scorpia might want to check up on the cow egg she sent off.]
[Scorpia actually ends up babbling in incomprehensible joy about Gabby's cuteness and look how strong and so on. It goes on for at least a full sixty seconds before she gets a hold of herself.]
Thank you so much. That was so adorable and precious! She's growing so fast and she's so brave.
Then we will be sure to drop in before we go. [His Emboar makes a sounds from the side and, while Dimitri can't understand him, he's learned to recognize when his Pokemon is trying to remind him of something. There's a pause.] - Ah, that's right. I will be sure to call you ahead of time.

You will be glad to know that she's also rather caring. I had another egg that was due to hatch, and she insisted on carrying it around.
[And that's why a baby Swablu will fight god and anyone else if they look at this cow funny.]
[Dimitri doesn't take the camera off of Gabby, even as she tries her best to 'help' Dean up as he gets up to his feet.]

I thought you would like to see how she's growing up.
