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

[ 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.

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

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.

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*

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!

Doesn't really matter to me. It makes things more fun!

*Music from nowhere is what Imogen dreams of!*

Nice to meet you too, and I could use more friends! I did just get here and everything.

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

Maybe someday. I plan to visit everywhere!

...Why do you call them Nokemon?

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

Wait you have things like Pokemon in your world!?

*Imogen is a little jealous*

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

Oh! So like where I'm from!

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

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.

They were less cute? How?

Really small graphics without color range.

They were all grey? Aw... that sounds sad.

It wasn't their fault, that's just what toys could do back then.

I'm sure now they are in some sorta super realistic 3D or something now.

*What, she isn't a gamer anymore.*

You sound like you came from the past. There were already 3D things when I was alive!

[ ... ha. ]

Maybe you came from the future, ever thought about that!

*Imogen is acting so smug, and yes she's aware what she's arguing.*

I'm from the future?

[ Watch as she makes a :O face, which then breaks into a grin. ]

Wow, really? That would be awesome if it was true!
