❀ 001. [ Video/Action from New Bark Town ]

[seetheflower]

Hello? Helloooo?

[ The feed opens to the image of two wide, bright blue eyes staring curiously at the camera. It then zooms out, as Menma pulls the device away from her face. Her finger then appears, to poke at the screen. ]

Can anyone see me? You can see me, right?

[ There's more poking, and then, a wide smile cracks on her gentle features. ]

I'm Menma! Nice to meet you all! I was told I can use this thing to talk to everyone, so~ Hmmmmm...

[ She glances around briefly, before returning her attention back to the camera. ]

So, who wants to catch Nokemon with me? It'll be fun, promise! Let's become friends and have adventures together. Okay? Bye!

[ A soft giggle, then the camera view shakes as Menma tries to find the switch-off button of her new shiny Pokegear. Eventually the feed turns off. ]


[ Action ]

[ Whoever is walking in the streets of New Bark Town can see the figure of a young girl who stands out, more or less, because of her white flowing dress and the fact that she's barefoot. Menma is trotting happily without a care in the world, humming in a sing-song tone in rythm with the music on the background. At her feet, a Petilil is following along in the same chipper manner. One would assume she doesn't know where the hell she's going... ]

[ ... wow, that's a life worth's mystery solved.

And then Menma's eyes widened like two plates of salami. ]

Witches? Real witches?!

[uuing]

That's right, real witches! [ she's practically beaming that smile now, she's so proud.. ]

Maria's a real witch apprentice, you know!

[seetheflower]

If you're a witch, then you can use magic? [ OMG MAGIC OMGGGG. ]

[uuing]

[ YOU BETTER BE EXCITED, MEMNA. Because Maria sure is - she happily clasps her hands together. ]

Of course Maria can! Uu-, Maria's even made her ve-ry own magic, and she's only going to learn more and more from here on!

[seetheflower]

[ SHE'S ENDLESS NINE EXCITE RIGHT NOW. ]

Can you show me now, Maria? Please? Pleeeease? I wanna see!!

[uuing]

Right now? Uu-, of course Maria can show Memna, but isn't it even more fun to learn it yourself?

[ or, well, more like she's been using it all this time already, oops.. and she's on a mission to spread it in all of johto, okay!! ]

[seetheflower]

...

I can learn magic too? But I'm not a witch!

[uuing]

But.. Memna could be Maria's witch apprentice, right? Uu-, Maria wouldn't mind that.

[seetheflower]

Eh? But how can I become a witch?

[uuing]

First of all, Memna needs to believe, uu-!

[ .. said firmly, of course, but then she goes back to normal a little.. ] But Memna already believes in witches, right?

[seetheflower]

If heaven exists, then it means also magic exists!

[ And she's also firm by saying that. ]

[uuing]

See? Memna believes in magic, so that means she should be able to use magic too! The most important part is that you have to make sure to believe in it with all your heart, uu-! Else the magic won't work!

[seetheflower]

Is it the only thing that makes it work? [ That's so simple for someone like her...! ] Do you think I can use magic now?

[uuing]

[ she gets a little closer to the pokégear, narrowing her eyes as if she's assessing the other girl-- ]

.. Uu-.. Maria thinks Memna has a ve-ry strong potential for magic!

[seetheflower]

Ha! I knew it! Being a Super Peace Buster is a big advantage, isn't it?

[ She claps her hands happily! ]

[uuing]

It must be..! [ there's a small nod - not like Maria still gets the whole peace busters thing, but hey, she's more than willing to go along with it right now.. ]

... Uu-, so is Memna ready to learn the magic now?

[seetheflower]

I'm ready! Really ready ready! [ Throwing her hands up in the air! ]

[uuing]

Okay! There's one really simple word to use the magic of happiness! When you say that word, everyone will become happy if they hear it..!

So.. that word is.. [ dramatic tension.. ] 'Uu-!'

[seetheflower]

...

Uu? Uu~? I only have to say it? [ Blinking at the screen. ]

[uuing]

That's right! You just have to say it and it'll work, uu-!

[ she giggles. ] Just put spirit into it..!

[seetheflower]

[ Hmmmmm... more spirit, huh? Okee. ]

Uu-... Uu, uu, uu~! Uu, uu, uu~!

[uuing]

Uu-! [ they're just going back and forth with this now, huh.. ]

Memna's got it! Maria knew she had a re-ally strong potential for magic after all, so now Memna can give the magic of happiness to others too!

[seetheflower]

Uu-! Really I can do this already? Uu, uu-! I can make people happy like this, right? I want to make people happy!

[uuing]

Uu-, Memna can! Just use it on anyone in Johto, and it'll work! .. That's a promise from Maria.

[seetheflower]

Everyone in Johto? I'll start doing that from today on! Thanks so much, Maria! Uu, uu-!

[ She's basically the happiest girl in the universe now. ] I want to meet you so I can give you a big hug right now.
