Scene 7: Dear Mamma & Papa
Lyrik is writing a letter to her parents. She's not exactly sure how, but it seems that no matter where her Mamma & Papa are traveling, the Delivery Delibird always manages to find them. Lyrik writes about her daily life with Grampa Fuji. They go fishing, just like they used to. They visit the Poke'mon Tower and pay their respects to the dead Poke'mon. Every Sunday after visiting the Tower, Lyrik would visit the local Poke'mon Center where she would talk over video phone to Melody and Allegro. They were always sure to be waiting for her call. She tells her parents excitedly about Marowak having a baby Cubone, nestling the baby in her arms. Melody is just as thrilled for her old friend as Lyrik is.
After finishing her chores with Grampa Fuji, Lyrik would visit the nearby forests and mountains with Marowak to meet and play with the Wild Poke'mon. Lyrik tells her Papa how she misses riding in his bike and her Mamma's exciting bedtime stories. Though Lyrik tried to keep a brave face knowing her parents are gone, Mr. Fuji is sure to stay happy for her sake. He smiles when they arrive at the post- seeing her excitement at finding a letter in their box makes him so happy. Mr. Fuji's granddaughter has become his whole life.
Lyrik loves seeing the different colors of their mail: blue Bubble Mail, pink Bloom Mail, and the different designs like Glitter Mail or Retro Mail. But after a couple months, the calls stop coming. Lyrik is sitting in the Poke'mon Center for hours, eventually falling asleep in the lobby until Nurse Joy calls Mr. Fuji to pick her up. Mr. Fuji eventually gets in contact with Melody and Allegro, chastising them for keeping Lyrik waiting. As the months continue, the letters come less frequently as well. Mr. Fuji passes by Lyrik sitting at the kotatsu in the living room writing another letter. While he cleans up from dinner she writes. Lyrik gives a sigh. She's telling them about the adventures she's missed since they've left. "Dear Mamma & Papa, I can't wait till you get home. I know you're on a journey to become Poke'mon Masters- and someday, I will be, too!" She pets the baby Cubone whose warming up under the table beside her. "I hope my letter doesn't disturb your training. I know you're busy. That's why you haven't been sending many letters. I just want you to know that I miss you. And that I'm cheering you on! Love, Lyrik." Lyrik gives a mighty yawn, putting down her pencil. She lies down beside the little Cubone. Several minutes later Mr. Fuji enters the room with dessert only to find a sleeping little Lyrik. Mr. Fuji picks her up, Marowak picks up baby Cubone, and they return the two to the bedroom. He slips the letter off the table, sighing. If only his daughter understood how much Lyrik was hurting with them gone…
