[ The video feed flickers on to show the biggest grin you could ever see on Menma's face. She's inside a building, and when she moves the Pokégear's camera around, you can all see the shelves typical of a Pokémart. Those of you with a keen eye can notice a pretty evident band aid stuck onto the girl's forehead. ]

I didn't know that having a work would be so fun! Getting paid for having fun is the best thing, isn't it? I never worked before, I thought this would have been boring. Ah, hold on!

[ The door opens with new customers walking in. Menma eagerly runs to them and waves. ]

Hello, hello! Welcome to the Pokèmart! Say hi to the camera, say hi!

[ ... The poor NPCs stare in confusion, then awkwardly wave back. Menma chuckles, turning the device back to show her face. ]

We're leaving the city tomorrow! I've got enough money to buy things, hope it's enough to get a bike. To all the people at Goldenrod- especially Maria and Lion, I'm gonna arrive there and meet you in a couple days! Bye bye all!

[ Feed cut! Little does she know that the shortcut doesn't work, and she's got to spend days and days running from Zubats in the cave...

For those in Violet City who are going to buy stuff in the Pokémart, you will have a cheerful silver-haired girl wearing a white dress greet you and pull you around! ]

If Memna says so, then it must be true.. uu-.. [ aka 'the word of anyone older than me must be true!!' ]

Then Maria will make sure to forever stay re-ally good friends with her Pokémon!

[ And then she finds out Menma is actually six years old... ]

Good! That's the right spirit, Maria!

You're a newbie too? Great! I hope we're going to meet someday so I can hug you and your Nokemon!

It's so weird... I didn't know Nokemon could stay for days without eating.

I think it's a little sad.

...Yeah. No wonder they don't find the PC pleasant.

Hmm... If they can resist without eating for such a long time, then what's Nokemon food for?

Just because they can go without eating for a while doesn't mean it's good for them. Maybe the food compensates for that.

Maybe someday. I plan to visit everywhere!

...Why do you call them Nokemon?

Because that's how we call them in my world!

It sounds a bit cruel to keep them there... isn't it really possible to take them all with us?

Not beyond the city limits. Believe me, I've tried.

Aaah... that's unfair! I don't want them to suffer like this.

Your other option would be to choose a city and never leave it again, but...

Wait you have things like Pokemon in your world!?

*Imogen is a little jealous*

But I have to become the champion... so I can't stay in a city forever!

Nooo, we had a videogame of them! I always wished they were real.

Yeah, it wouldn't be practical or fun at all.

Oh! So like where I'm from!

But knowing my Nokemon are going to suffer, I can't have a bigger team now...

...Perhaps you should ask your team how they feel about it, before deciding to stop catching new friends.

You had Nokemon videogames, too? That's great! How was it like?

... Ask my team about it?

Ask them if they'd be willing to spend time in the PC if you caught new friends. Some might agree, some might not, but it cannot hurt to ask.

I had Pokemon video games and...

It didn't take nearly so long to go from town to town. But the animals were less cute in them. So I think this is better.

Ah! You're right, I really should talk to my Nokemon more and ask them about things!

[ They can't talk, Menma... ]

Thanks so much for the advice, captain!
