❀ 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!

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!

[seetheflower]

Yes! Fly and Surf are Nokemon moves, you get those when you beat the Gym leaders! [ Is Maria a newbie too...? That can't be possible, right? Menma's confused. ]

Sit on their back? But I'm heavy! I don't wanna hurt them!

[uuing]

[ You're so confusing, Memna, what are you even talking about?! She's just going to focus on the part she can understand here.. ]

But some of them are pretty big, right? Maria's sure the big ones wouldn't mind, they wouldn't even feel it much!

[seetheflower]

But the Nokemon I caught so far are not that big. [ Well there's the Ponyta she bought the other day, but... ]

[uuing]

Then you have to find a big one, uu-..! Make it your next quest, Menna!

[seetheflower]

Find a big Nokemon? [ Next quest, uwaaaah that's exciting! ] But how big should it be?

[uuing]

Big enough to carry around Memna on its back, uu-..! Maria thinks there's plenty of Pokémon that can do something like that, right? [ not like memna is that huge, of course.. also totally ignoring the pokémon vs. nokemon difference here. ]

[seetheflower]

Uu-! There should be, I must find one--

[ Wait. ]

... I got a Ponyta yesterday. He's a horse Nokemon, but he's small like a pony!

[uuing]

That's right, those are re-ally good for riding around! Maria has one too, that's Angetaro! [ never mind the fact that the last time she rode that around it just.. ended.. horribly.. ]

Uu-, they're just like real horses!

[seetheflower]

[ Maria wanted a pony, and she ended in broken bones... ]

Angetaro is a Ponyta? Uu, uu-! So you ran around with him? Was it fun?

[uuing]

It was a lot of fun! Both me and Sakutaro fit on Angetaro, so Maria's sure Memna could fit on her own Ponyta too! Uu-, Memna should try and have fun for sure..! [ and don't fail like maria, hopefully. ]

[seetheflower]

Okay! I'll ask Jintan nicely so I can ride him and travel the world faster! [ That all sounds so simple... you're alive again Menma, please don't do stupid things... ] I want to fight gyms and win badges already!

[uuing]

[ and then memna died again.. ]

Uu-.. Memna's really going to fight gyms with her Pokémon, really? Just like all the grown ups? [ or, well, the people who are practically grown up to her.. ]

[seetheflower]

I wanna be the Nokemon champion, so training and beating gym leaders is necessary to become one! [ Grown up or not, she'll become the very best LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS! ]

[uuing]

The champion? ... Uu-, but isn't that difficult? Maria thinks a lot of people want to be the champion, and there can only be one, right?

[seetheflower]

I know, but I can do it! As long as you believe in yourself, you can do anything! Isn't that right, Maria? Uu-!

[uuing]

Uu-, Maria thinks so too! [ they practically sound like clones at this point.. fellow moes.. ] Only if everyone believes the real good magic can happen, so believing in yourself is probably like a powerful spell that can make you do a-nything at all!

[seetheflower]

[ Filling the Pokemon world with moe, it is them. ] I'm using magic right now, then? I didn't know I could do that!

[uuing]

Maria told Memna that she had a great potential for magic, right? Uu-, now Memna can see it's true after all! Her magic is super strong..!

[seetheflower]

I'm doing magic, uu uu-! Magic, magic, uu-! [ Jumping up and down... stop it Menma, the camera is bouncing too... ]

[uuing]

[ OH, ARE WE BOUNCING? Maria likes bouncing too! So yup, she's just going to bounce along here for no reason, now the camera is shaking even more for the both of them.. amazingly productive conversations. ]

Uu-! Keep up the good work, Memna..!

[seetheflower]

[ Convos between moes are the most productive! Menma eventually stops, laughing- her Drifloon briefly appears on screen as if wondering WTF his trainer is about. ]

Ha ha! What about you, Maria? Are you doing well with training?

[uuing]

Maria doesn't train her Pokémon much. [ what's gym badges, how does one play this game.. ]

Maria's Pokémon are her friends, so we just have a lot playing around each day, uu-..! That's Maria's kind of life in Johto.

[seetheflower]

[ Being the Nokemon master is not necessary here, then... it's like Maria is one of those NPC people in her videogames. ] Oooh, it sounds like fun! Do you play all day everyday? I wanna play with Maria and her Nokemon too! Uu uu-!
