seetheflower | ❀ 002. [ Video/Action from Violet City ]

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!

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

From:

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.

From:

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.

From:

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...

From:

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.

From:

seetheflower

Eh? Work? What do you do with work?

[ She died before even reaching that age, so it comes to her as a suprise. ]

From:

captainash

You could stock shelves. It's not particularly difficult, and they have stepladders for the higher ones. I don't think being a kid would be a problem, and it'd give you more than 'Mom's' pocket money.

From:

seetheflower

Reeeeeally?

[ She doesn't drag the words out of mockery; she's just genuinely surprised that she didn't know something like that. ]

In the Pokémart, you said? That one shop where they sell those balls and such?

That's the one. You just need to ask the shop owner, and then all you have to do is put more pokéballs and potions on the shelves, unless you'd rather greet clients.

From:

seetheflower

Say hi to clients? That sounds like lots of fun! I could do both! [ Griiiiin! ]

From:

captainash

You probably could, and from talking with them you could learn where the most interesting Pokémon can be found, or the prettiest flowers. It'd be worth it.

From:

seetheflower

Yay! This work thing is so fun, I want to work now! [ She's got no sense of reality. ]

Thank you so much! I'm Menma! Who are you?

From:

captainash

That's always good to hear.

[Hey, more people should think like that.]

You're welcome, Menma. I'm Captain Ash; it's nice to meet you.

From:

seetheflower

[ Sparkly eyes mode in 3...2...1... ]

Captain?! Your name has Captain in it? Wow wow wow that's amazing aaah!

From:

captainash

What can I say? It was given to me with great hopes.

[...Not by his parents, of course, but details.]

From:

seetheflower

Are you a superhero? You must be a superhero, right? Right?

From:

captainash

Haha, nothing so heroic and admirable, sorry.

From:

seetheflower

Wha? Really? [ She deflates. ] But you're a captain, you must have done big things, right?

From:

captainash

That would depend on what you think of when you say big.

From:

seetheflower

Big like, amazing and fanstastic and powerful! Like a hero does in every adventure!

[ She stretches her arms to emphasize. ]

From:

captainash

I don't know about amazing and fantastic, but I've hit powerful a few times. My crew is well equipped.

From:

seetheflower

[ Her eyes can't be any wider now.

Crew? You're-- [ gasp. ] You're a pirate?!

From:

captainash

Really, now. Do I sound like a pirate?

[...Apparently not enough, as he needs his second-in-command for all those takeover announcements, but still.]
