first shot ❀ video ❀ pallet town
[The PokéGear turns on to show Mami, hesitating with the controls until she realizes she's succeeded, and smiles.]
Hello, my name is Mami Tomoe. I know it's rather early for this, but since some people might not know what Pallet Town has to offer, my friend and I thought we might give you a peek.
[And she shifts the view to... a long patch of dirt, decent sized holes dug in a line along its length. Apparently - despite the chill in the air - someone decided to spend the snow-free weekend gardening.]
Along with a lovely fish market and cozy inn, Pallet offers a berry orchard, and for a small fee visitors can pluck their pick. It will be a few months yet before they bloom, but we're just now planting some of the trees you'll be able to see, this coming spring.
Kaname-san?
[The gear turns to show Madoka, who is smiling too. She'd be so nervous to do this alone, but it's fun to do this with a friend!]
And did you know that Pallet Town is said to be the Friendliest Town in Kanto? [She frowns a bit.] The ferry ride was kind of expensive, but [...back to her cheerful face.] Everything there was great, and you can work at the inn to earn money here. So it's the same what you do in any other city, I think that's what they said. Maybe local restaurants are hiring people too...
[...Oh wait, did she forget to say something important here? Oh!]
My name is Madoka Kaname, you can just call me Madoka! Nice to meet you all!
[There's an off-screen giggle.]
Very good, Kaname-san. And she's absolutely right! If you come to Kanto from Johto, you'll be passing through this town, which makes the attractions all the more welcome.
And as for the trees... Now wait just a moment-
[Mami turned the gear again, focusing in on some half-grown trees waiting on a cart to be moved to the dirt. But a Rattata has jumped onto the cart as well, and is chewing on one of the tiny tree trunks!]
[Madoka laughs sheepishly at Mami's compliment. This is going better than she expected this to go for her own part.]
Maybe they'll teach everyone to do something from those berries. We're really not sure right now, but they know a lot about different ber--.
[Sorry, she kind of stops in the middle of the last word because there's the Rattata. There's an off-screen challenging sound from an Eevee.]
Ehh, Eevee. It's okay. We'll --
[Madoka moves closer to the rat. Too close, in its opinion as it tries to bite the girl, who then takes a step backward. Right, not like that. Definitely not like that.]
I wouldn't get too close. That one doesn't look interested in getting along.
[-and listen to that, Mami's dropped her courteous tone for a far more serious, flat one. There's some rustling, and then a hand reaches up to release a Petilil from a Pokéball.
And she does not look happy about being out in the cold.]
I'm sorry, Sara. It'll just be a minute.
Absorb, please.
[There's a reluctant trill, but the Petilil's move does allow them to attack the Rattata without chancing harm to the trees. And, indeed, the wild Pokémon staggers a moment from the attack before jumping off the cart, trying to make a move towards the girls.]
Ehhehhehehe.... [Madoka really should learn that not all of them were friendly... Mami can see her surprised face when the Petilil comes out of its ball.
And then after Absorb, and the Rattata leaving the cart, everyone can hear her clapping her hands together.]
That was great, Mami-san, Sara! --Ehhh, it's coming here?! [Why? Fail Trainer Madoka doesn't know what to do! Good thing her Eevee jumps between the girls and the Rattata.]
You want to go for it too? [Yep, Eevee looks and sounds very determined to fight.] Ummm... T-Tackle, I guess? Please? [Please be careful, okay? Madoka could add that too, but the Eevee is tackling that rat already... And it does it a few times instead of just one until the Rattata flees.]
It looks like Pokémon really do jump for a fight.
[Sara gives a weak sort of protesting noise, but there's no denying that's a tough little Eevee.]
Perfect! That was a lovely job. And I mean you too, Sara. [There's a shifting view as Mami sets the gear on the ground, giving a tilted view of the second bundled up girl picking up her shivering Petilil.] If we've promised to look after this orchard, we can't allow any wild beasts to harass it, can we?
[Really, how does Madoka always get those fierce protectors...?] You were all great! [But she wouldn't call herself even good, much less perfect, at this thing right now. Eevee looks happy and jumps to Madoka's shoulder.] Of course we can't! The wild Pokémon seem to be really interested in this place. Maybe it's just this time of the year...
Perhaps. But from what I've heard, there's far more where that came from, if we plan to leave town on foot.
[Not that Mami sounds particularly worried. And why should she, with such Pokémon to look after them? And her own is tugging on her coat, drawing her attention back to her gear.]
Oh- [The view of the girls gets much closer, as the device is picked up.] I'm sorry, everyone. I shouldn't have left this on so long.
That's true. Maybe they won't do anything if we walk on roads instead of bushes. ...If that's even possible.
[Madoka sounds a little worried. She'll take time to get used to it.
Oh, it's still on? Sheepish smile from the pink haired girl.] Yeah, sorry about that ...But since it's still on! [Now she looks excited and peeks even closer to the screen.] Can you tell me about all the different cat Pokémon? I'm trying to decide which one to get first!

[Huff. She resents that, trainer! Riku just rolls his eyes, though. Silly lion.]
And if you're looking for a Shinx, your best bet's probably to buy an egg, since you won't be finding wild ones until around Route 14.
video
[Says the silly girl who will call almost anything pretty, or amazing or cool. Also you two kind of amuse her in a good way, but she's trying to hide her amusement. Calling you two cute may not be the best idea ever.]
Sounds like it's far away from Route 1... We can buy them from the centre or [give her a moment to think of the right word] breeders, right? Ummmm, are they common?
video
[He gives her a quick scratch behind the ears, which calms her growling just a little bit.]
Pretty common, yeah. And trainers can breed too; heck, I've had a few clutches of Shinx eggs before, but they're kind of on the steep side due to all their egg moves.
video
T-Trainers too? [She gives a worried look to her Eevee.] I - I think there's nothing wrong with the steep side, when there's a good reason for it. We all have to get money here somehow, and that's ummm, one good way. Ummm, are Pokémon eggs usually expensive?
video
[But then, they have less of an emphasis on death moves.]
video
video
And that's how it usually works. Rarer Pokémon or eggs with souped up movesets cost more than something basic.
video
video
I've kind of gone a little overboard with Flare's attacks, so when he breeds with another Charizard, he passes... pretty much everything on.
video
Wow, that's amazing! So, the stronger the parents, the stronger the babies will be too. It all makes so much sense.
[Hopefully powerful babies aren't too scary to have around.]
Ehh, I wouldn't call it overboard. I'd just say you've raises Flare very well. His offspring is such a great protector for anyone with a moveset like that right from the start.
