❀ 002. [ Video/Action from Violet City ]

[seetheflower]

Hellooo again everyone!

[ Menma waves cheerfully at the camera, a sweetly big grin crossing her face. ]

I guess you all saw that fog the past days? That was so scary! I couldn't even see my feet. [ After saying that, she feels the urge to kick one of her feet up, as if wanting to emphasize her point. ] Is it always like this around here? There were ghost Nokémon everywhere! I tried to catch some of them because were cute, but I could get only one in the end. Here Poppo, say hi!

[ She stretches her arm out of the screen, to pull a Drifloon towards herself. The baloon Pokemon blinks at the camera, and makes some noise before trying to float out of view again. Menma giggles, letting it go. ]

Don't mind him, he's shy- but did you see how cute he is? I'm so proud of taking him with me. I named him after one of the Super Peace Busters, too! Anyway, I also have a question! [ She takes a moment to clear her voice, ready to say something of vital importance! ] ... Where can I find a bike? Walking is fun, but biking is even more fun and I really really want to buy a bike right now! Can anyone help me with that, please?

[ And then she waves again. ] Thank you and bye bye!

Uu-, does Memna really need a bike..? There's other ways of getting around that aren't walking, right?

[seetheflower]

Uu-? What do you mean, Maria? Should I start running?

[uuing]

No, you can ride Pokémon too! [ she seems pretty enthusiastic about this, but.. then again, it's Maria. she'd be enthusiastic over a lot of things. ]

Uu-, as long as the Pokémon is big enough!

[seetheflower]

Ride them? But they don't have Fly or Surf yet! I didn't beat any Gym, I'm a newbie! [ A little pout. ]

[uuing]

.. Uu-.. 'Fly'..? 'Surf'? [ say hi to the girl who's been in Johto for a year and a half now and still doesn't get anything about all of this. ]

Can't you just sit on their back and ride on the roads? Maria's been riding for a bit on Angetaro before!

[voice]

[captainash]

A girl told me we can buy bikes in Goldenrod. Is that close to where you are?

[voice]

[seetheflower]

Golden... rod? [ Let her think about it, and then pull out the map, trying to decipher it.

...

She sounds kind of lost in her reply. ]

Uh... it's not that far. I think.

[voice]

[captainash]

You'd just have to get there, then. But I have no idea how expensive they'd be, considering the prices of everything else.

[voice]

[seetheflower]

How much do you think they will cost? Even if I beat other trainers and get more money, I wouldn't want to deal with a high price when I find a bike...

[voice]

[captainash]

Maybe you could work a week or two to pay for it? The people at the Pokémart don't mind giving us work, and the work itself is not so bad.

[isthedeadcat]

That is a cute pokémon, congratulations on your catch. [Lion smiles a little before adding.]

About the bikes, I'm not sure if you've been told already, but there is a bike store in Goldenrod. If not, asking one of your pokémon for a ride is always an option.

[Video]

[seetheflower]

Hehe, thanks! It was hard, but I did it! [ Flashing a V sign at the stranger. ]

Someone told me about it, but it seems to be a little far from here! And I think I don't have enough money. [ She deflates a little. Juuust a little. ] Maria said I can ride a Nokémon, but I'm not sure if any of my Nokémon can do that sort of thing!

[Video]

[isthedeadcat]

Oh, so you've met Maria already? [Lion smiles a little, it's nice to see how Maria was always making so many friends here.]

It depends on the pokémon you have. Some of them can carry people surprisingly easily if you ask nicely.

[Video]

[seetheflower]

Really? Hmm... I have a Ponyta. He's like a horse!

I did! Are you her friend too? All Maria's friends are my friends too! [ Not like she wouldn't want to be friends with ALL THE PEOPLE already, here. ] I'm Menma, what's your name?

[Video]

[isthedeadcat]

I've seen a few people ride their ponytas before. Maybe you could ask him if he's okay with giving you a ride?

My name is Lion, pleased to meet you... Maria is my youngest cousin.

[video] placeholderishhhh

[idlewanderlust]

My... It's almost as if you caught yourself a living balloon...

[video]

[seetheflower]

I know, right? He's like one of those giant balloons people can fly with, but in miniature! It's so cute!

[video]

[idlewanderlust]

Oh dear... It would take quite a lot of effort for such a small balloon to lift up anyone... Or perhaps he has some kind of super strength you don't know about?

[video]

[seetheflower]

Oooo...

You know, I didn't check it out yet. I could try now!

[video]

[idlewanderlust]

Ufufu... There's only one way to find out at a time like this, isn't there?

[Action]

[guardianjoker4]

[Guess who's been sticking to you like glue!? Because she's super scared but pretending she's not, yep.]

A-ah...I'm sure they have bikes in one of the stores here...

[Action]

[seetheflower]

Really? We should go look at all the shops here then! [ She perfectly recovered from the scare, on the other hand. ]

[Action]

[guardianjoker4]

[You're so brave ;n;/ Oh Menma, don't let any of those things eat her /sob]

Yeah! I-I'm sure we'll find something. It'll be easier to travel with one, that's for sure.

[Action]

[seetheflower]

Then we'll have one each! I only wonder how much they'll cost.

[ It's not that she... gained much from beating other trainers, so far. ]

[Action]

[guardianjoker4]

[Shrug]

Dunno. I hope we have enough, though. If not, I'm sure we could find a job at the center or something...
