❀ 003. [ Video/Action from Violet City's Pokémart ]

[seetheflower]

[ 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! ]

It is a bit more fun to do your work when you have friends around!

*Imogen's put together a rather wild outfit, from what she bought in town. Oh, she has a Rattata on her head, both seem okay with this. She seems to be on break right now, given she's in a PokeMart but she's chillaxin' in the back.*

I have friends here! I've got some of my Nokémon to help me out with the shelves too!

[ She grins, showing how her Drifloon is carrying something and placing it on the highest shelf where she can't reach. ]

Mine are just keeping me company, they don't really see the importance of putting things on the right shelves.

...I don't see it either, but I can at least pretend I do.

Video

[seetheflower]

Well, if I put things in the right shelves, I'll get paid more, right?

Video

[for_realsies]

That's usually how it works.

I don't really get why, since all sorts of combinations look so much better on the shelves. But I need the money to move on to Violet City.

[seetheflower]

I guess it can't be helped. At least you get the job done, and it's still fun!

The music helps make it more fun!

*Imogen dances a little for the camera. Nothing fancy, but still, moving and grooving.*

Oh, names, right! I'm Imogen, and this is Whiskey! *Her Rattata*

Video

[seetheflower]

That's right! I wonder where the music comes from, though. [ It is a mystery.gif, but regardless of that- have some dancing moves as well, after which she claps her hands happily. ]

I'm Menma! It's really nice to meet you, Imogen and Whiskey, let's be friends!

Uu-, Memna's coming on a bike after all?!

[ but her idea was so cool.. bff, why not this.. :( ]

But won't you go wa-y too fast then? Memna might fall! [ fall, fall... ]

[seetheflower]

I tried with Jintan, but it didn't work. See?

[ She points at the bandaid on her forehead. Guess who tried to ride her Ponyta and ended up running into things? [derp] ]

I'll be careful, Maria! Uu-! Magic will protect me! [ She's a lot more into magic than before, someone help her... ]

[uuing]

[ ah, true soulmates after all, that sounds just like how maria's adventures with her ponyta ended. ]

Really, Memna will use magic to protect herself? That's great! [ she's totally okay with this, nothing weird here. ] Memna's learning really quickly..!

[seetheflower]

[ moes gotta stick together after all ]

It's very easy to learn, uu-! I hit a tree really hard, but I only got a bump on my head, that's because magic helped me! Isn't that right? [ No, that was just luck... ]

[uuing]

Of course it's magic!

[ DON'T ENCOURAGE HER.. ]

Uu-, Memna will become a really great witch at this rate! Maybe Memna is the Witch of Healing or the Witch of Luck or something like that.. wish Maria could ask Beato if those exist.

[seetheflower]

[ Giggling loudly. ] Hee hee, it would be so cool if they existed! I would be so happy to become the Witch of Luck! That way, I can become the Nokemon champion in a flash~

[uuing]

Maria thinks that wouldn't be easy even if you use magic though, uu-.. Wouldn't that be a little like cheating even if you did that? [ yes, she has some sense of morality - mostly what her mother taught her, though.. ]

[seetheflower]

I don't think so! Luck comes at random, doesn't it? I think it's funny to find out when it helps me, especially when I battle! Like critical hits! [ she sees nothing wrong with that. ]

[voice]

[captainash]

Well, you sure sound like you're enjoying yourself. Did you have any trouble getting the job?

[voice]

[seetheflower]

Hello, captain!

Nope! I asked to get the job and they gave it to me without question.

[voice]

[captainash]

That's great. The shelves aren't too high, are they?

[voice]

[seetheflower]

No worries. I have Poppo helping me with that.

[ And she moves a little away from the camera to show her Drifloon carrying a couple things with its tiny arms, putting them on the top shelves. ]

[voice]

[captainash]

One of the ghosts from the other day, huh. I hope it doesn't play too many pranks on you.

[voice]

[seetheflower]

Nooo, he's a good Nokemon, but he's very shy.

[ In fact, he scurries away from the view as soon as he notices he's being filmed. ]

[voice]

[captainash]

I guess even Ghost-types have their sweeter representatives. What does he like, other than helping you at work?

[grapecape]

[Hey, it's a customer! The cape guy and his Butterfree don't seem too lost or confused as they enter the shop, but that's no reason not to ambush them, right?]

[action]

[seetheflower]

Eeeee, welcome to the Nokémart!

[ Target locked aaaand shot down! Menma is in front of them before he can say another word. ]
