[Elsa won't lie, she's been a little distressed the past few days. Anna told her she'd be coming straight to Cherrygrove, so Elsa had used the fast-travel as soon as possible, planning to meet up with Anna as soon as she got into town. But the three days it took to get to the city came and went, without a word from her sister.

So when she sees this, she can't help but let out a little sigh of relief.]

Sounds like you're fitting in quite well with this place, Anna.

[Not that she's surprised, since Anna was here before. But she's glad her sister is finding her footing again.]

[Sorry, sis, but this place... Anna couldn't help it.]

Elsa! [.... oh gosh now she looks sheepish.] S-Sorry about not calling. I just got super caught up in training and catching some new Pokémon... this place is amazing! Did this happen to you when you got here?

[If it wasn't for the fact they needed healing, Anna would have all of her new little friends out.]

It's okay! I know how overwhelming this place can be, even if it's been a while since I first arrived.

[The worry in Elsa's eyes probably won't go away until they're reunited in person, but seeing Anna just so energetic does a lot to stamp it back. For now, at least.]

I was... a bit too preoccupied with getting out of New Bark Town to explore much of Route 29, but once I got past Cherrygrove? It was a lot like that, yes.

[She talked a little bit to Anna about how she was here before, but she hadn't gone into too many details. So she's not going to go into the whole "I was too focused on getting to you that I nearly ran myself into the ground with exhaustion" thing that definitely happened when she was traveling between the two areas.]

I should have still called you. How long have you been waiting for me?

[Because knowing Elsa she's been in town for days now. Now Anna feels even worse. Oh, she shouldn't have stopped for all those battles. Stripes was just really hard to say no to since he was so gung-ho about showing his trainer just how strong he was. He really is rather attached to Anna already.]

I just got into town, so... maybe we can meet where I can take a bath?

Erm... [Now it's Elsa's turn to look a little flustered.] Since we stopped talking? There's a service here that can instantly take you from one town to another...

[She was really eager to see Anna again, okay.]

Oh, of course! Look for the big white building with a red roof. You and your pokemon can rest and freshen up there free of charge.

Wait... what? [Anna's expression falls.] You've been waiting for me for a week? Why didn't you call me and tell me to hurry up? I thought it'd take you a while to get to Cherrygrove, not instantly! Wait, how did you get there instantly? Is it like magic?

[Stripes nips Anna's cheek, making the redhead squeak.] O-Ow! Fine. Red roof, white building. You're gonna be there waiting for me, right, Elsa?

I didn't say anything because I knew you'd be like this, silly. I knew you'd want to take your time exploring, and I didn't want to rush you with that.

[The last thing Elsa wants to do is talk her sister out of experiencing something new, even if it means worrying for a few more days.]

And don't you worry, I'm already there. I'll be sure to be outside waiting for you.

But Elsa...! [Looking from the video, to Stripes, and then back to the screen before Anna nods.] Right! I'll be there.

[And the feed cuts out. Anna puts Stripes down and stands on her toes to see if it was easier to see the place Elsa described. Not that it helps, but hey, whatever makes Anna feel better at the moment. When she sees it, she takes off.

Elsa, you may want to brace yourself for your little sister throwing herself at you.]

Elsa!

[Elsa can never fully brace herself for Anna's hugs, but at the very least, they don't topple over! And boy, Anna may be a good hugger, but Elsa now... she's practically clinging to Anna, focusing for just a few minutes on the feeling of having her sister here again...]

Anna... gosh, I can't tell you how good it is to see you in person again!

[Anna doesn't let got for quite a few minutes. A week away from Elsa had been strange after their reunion back home. She pulls away enough to smile at her sister, looking a little nervous.]

Still can't believe I was here before but I don't remember it.

[A week was bad enough for Anna, but for Elsa, it's been much longer, and it was torture. Sure, there were days when she and Anna did their own things, and wouldn't see each other for a while, but at the end of the day, they were still together. Not having that had been tearing up bits of Elsa that still haven't entirely healed in the two years since her coronation.]

It's okay... things like this are, somewhat unfortunately, common in this land. [Her smile is a tad bittersweet at the thought of all that lost time... but she's still happy. Truly.] This just means you get to experience all of this like it's new, all over again.

[Expect Anna to be clingy for a while. This place is still scary even if she doesn't say anything. It wasn't familiar in any way, even the food was different, and Anna is freezing right now. She's so thankful to have her own little space heater named Stripes.]

Well, [She waves her hands a bit.] It is kinda all new to me.
