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

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... ]

Thanks! I hope we can meet someday, I'll show you the Nokemon I captured!

From:

lovechronicle

I hope so too, and I'm not so far away from your location at the moment. Maybe we'll meet soon... [Unless you stay in Cherrygrove for ages.] I'll be looking forward to see your Nokemon. [Did she really just use that word?]

From:

seetheflower

[ Yes, yes you did. ]

Yeah, soon! Where are you right now? I've got the map!

From:

lovechronicle

Ah, I'm in Violet City. That's -- [pause, thinking.] ten days of traveling from New Bark, but you'll get to another town on the way here. So it's not like you have to travel for ten days to reach the next place.

From:

seetheflower

Ten days? Wow, that's long! [ All the way by just walking? No problem, she can do it! ] I've got time to capture many Nokemon before coming there.

From:

lovechronicle

Mmm, three days to next town and then some of the days on one route and the rest on the last between New Bark and Violet. [Yes, it's a long way, though she had her Rapidash this time around. Last time ... well, last time she had her Ponyta? This time she couldn't ride because her boyfriend and horse didn't get along.] Yeah, you'll see many and you can catch many. And even if I'll go to the next place before we can meet here, I'm sure we'll meet sooner or later.

From:

seetheflower

Then I'll be sure to win the Gym battles so I can get the badges and teach one of my Nokemon to fly! [ It's how it worked in her own videogame, so it should be the same here! ] It's faster that way, isn't it?

From:

lovechronicle

[...Wow, this girl sure knows how everything works here. Then again, all people who played the games know it...]

Umm, well first you'll have to win the badge from Violet to be able to use fly outside battles, and then you should get the badge from Cianwood to get the HM for it. [And that ... requires even more levels to the Pokémon/Nokemon.]

But speaking of fast - even if I went to another city, my fastest runner can get me back to Violet in no time.

From:

seetheflower

Thanks for telling me! I didn't know where to get it. [ Yep... ]

Your fastest runner?

From:

lovechronicle

It's quite a long way to go, Cianwood is on the other side of this region. But it should be a fun adventure~!

Ah. [The sound of pokemon coming out of its ball as she releases it from there. Good thing she's not inside the inn right now. And she turns the devide to show a Rapidash. ...It walks closer, maybe it's trying to say hi.] She's a Rapidash, one of the fastest runners of all Pokémon.

From:

seetheflower

Wow, that far? Just like in the game.. I like challenges!

[ ... Whoa whoa whoa what's that beautiful horse on fire?! Watch as Menma's eyes turn like shiny glitter! ]

Waaaaah that's beautiful, oh gosh!

From:

lovechronicle

Yes, that far. But at least we'll get lots of new friends and Pokémon friends on the way there. It's good to like challenges here, I wish I liked them a lot... Well, I don't dislike them either, so I'm okay with them.

[...and have a neigh from the unicorn. Mitsuki is smiling and glad to hear a reaction like this! Usually she hears the "WHY IS THAT HORSE ON FIRE?!!" thing...]

Thank you very much~. At first she was just a little Ponyta, then Ponyta evolved into this unicorn. Or horse, but she has the horn on her head, so...

[It's still officially Fire Horse. Oh well, the Rapidash doesn't seem to mind either way.]

From:

seetheflower

[ Everything that is potentially weird for most people will be TOTALLY AWESOME to Menma. As such, her eyes are all googly for the horse Nokemon. ]

I want one too! I really want one now~ Where can I find it?

From:

lovechronicle

[Can Mitsuki just adopt her, can she? Ah, chance to advertise Souji's pride & joy!?]

I think you could get one from the Breeding Centre, I'm pretty sure they have Ponytas on their list. They'll send one to you for free since you are new here. Or you could check if anyone is selling Ponytas on this network [there happens to be that OOC/pokedaycare post from Rikku ~~feel free to make Mitsuki pay for either that or shoes or both if you want~~], because lots of people end up with baby Pokémon and then they'll send them to whoever wants them. It might cost you some money if it's not from Souji's place though, but they might also come with some cool moves right from the start. So, it's also worth the money. Everyone usually sells them to new people too.

Ah, give me a sec! I'll type the Breeding Centre's number to you in case you ever need it to get new animal friends.

[Sorry, Menma, she has to turn the device back to her direction now, so she can type something with it.

You'll get a text attachment while she's still on the screen too.]

here you go ♥

[ She wouldn't mind that at all! c: ]

Breeding Centre... oh yeah, they had something like that in my videogame! [ Clap clap of her hands! ~~Gonna get that Ponyta, omg thank you! <3~~

She nods at everything else, and once she gets the number- she reads it over once before smiling back at Mitsuki. ]

Thank you so much! If it comes with cool moves, then the price is worth it. I just hope I'll have enough money. [ P3000 in the bag is a good start, but she's also got to eat and buy potions and pokeballs and everything else! She'll have to crack it up and beat some kid trainers in battles, clearly. ]

From:

lovechronicle

[♥ ... oh, wait, this girl is 16 ... well, let's just be sisters. ~~also you're very welcome for that link <3~~]

Heeeeh, they have even those in the videogames? [She never played games about this, though yes she has played some other videogames - or at least watched other people playing them in her room.]

You're very welcome. The one who started running it was - and still is - one of my first friends here, so I'm happy to advertise it. And others' too, I tend to buy them often too. [Or at least last time most of her team was pokemon from eggs. Nothing wrong with that either. ...Ummmm. Money. She knows that problem. Thinking, thinking... Ahh, idea!] Mm, don't worry about the money if you find one. I'll pay it for you as a welcome gift, okay~?

From:

seetheflower

[ It's all good anyway, all good! ]

Yep! There was an old couple who would keep my Pokemon and then make eggs out of them. [ Menma that's not accurate... ]

... Heeee? Would you really do that? [ Gosh this girl is so nice, one would almost feel bad for taking advantage of it. ] But you already did so much for me, I can't accept!

From:

lovechronicle

[...Accurate or not, Mitsuki looks surprised. People really learned a lot from those games. Maybe she should have played them too... Ah well, she learned everything here.]

Yes, I'd really love to do that. [Don't worry, she's actually smart and nice in the same package!] Of course you can accept it, I offered to do it. It's a gift, and I guess you could take it as an apology if I ever sounded rude at the beginning. [When they talked about heaven and stuff!] Then you can save your money for everything else, ne?

From:

seetheflower

Oo? You weren't rude for me, but thank you! [ It would be rude of her to refuse such kindness by now. ] If you need anything, tell me! I'll definitely do something back for you when I become stronger!

From:

lovechronicle

I'm glad to hear that and it's not like I regret it either, but starting like that is -- not how I usually get to know people. [That just makes Menma special!♥] I hope you'll find a Ponyta, mine's been one of my best friends for a long time. And I'll tell you if I need anything, sure. That's what friends are for.

[...and what's that blue thing sneaking towards her from the water behind her back? ~~Spoiler; it's Mitsuki's Lapras, aka the reason why she's near the water area.~~]

From:

seetheflower

If I find one, I'll call you really fast! [ Grin. ] That's right, friends always help each other no matter what.

[ And though she says it with the earnest of smiles, she really means what she's saying.

... AAAAAH that's a large snake thing! Menma points at the screen frantically. ]

What's that? Eh? What's that?!

From:

lovechronicle

It's a deal then. [Grin right back at you.] Even though they're unable to walk properly at first, they get stronger the more they walk.

From:

lovechronicle

[...What? Ehhh? What what?!]

What is what?

[Looking around to see what's going on. Someone's a little too calm considering Menma's reaction.]

From:

lovechronicle

[...Lapras looks disappointed as soon as Mitsuki sees her. It didn't work this time. The girl laughs and gets up from the grass before it reaches her.]

Ah. She -- [deep breath, and pause before her voice is back to normal.] She's a Lapras, she was my starter. Thanks for the warning, she usually tries to pull me into the water once she's done playing with other water types there.
