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!


[OOC: Too bright colors?! Let us know! Order in action tagging is YOU -> Mami -> Madoka. Also, Madoka's replies will come from [personal profile] herwish as always, but don't friend that account! :3]

It almost makes me wish everyone could start with a Pokémon like Eevee, then they could evolve it into any direction they want... Then again, if everyone get something that fits to them as starter, I guess most would rather train that one first.

Oh, that would be nice! I'd love to think what mine are thinking - or what they want to say to me. Hmmm, too bad we're unable to speak with them. And thank you, I'll try to be the best trainer for her. I'll be sure to keep the network updated about us, so we'll see how this goes.

What's your name?
alonelyworld: (Hm?)

[personal profile] alonelyworld 2013-02-22 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
I find it interesting that everyone seems to arrive with a pokémon that fits them. How does whoever gave them to us know?

Some people's pokémon have learned how to type, so maybe you can teach yours.

I'm Ushio.
herwish: (☜☆☞ Amused smile)

[personal profile] herwish 2013-02-25 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
Really? That sounds kind of weird, but it's definitely interesting too. I have no idea how they'd know though, maybe -- ummm, if there are any scientist here, maybe they have some theories.

They can even type... That sounds amazing. [She's seriously impressed by these creatures already.] I might try teaching it to her too, we'll see. I don't think I'd make a very good teacher.

Nice to meet you, Ushio!
alonelyworld: (I wonder)

[personal profile] alonelyworld 2013-02-25 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
I think I heard something about scientists a few weeks ago, but I haven't personally met any.

I know, I may try teaching mine eventually. It would make communicating a bit easier.

It's nice to meet you too.
herwish: (☜☆☞ Starry horizon)

[personal profile] herwish 2013-02-26 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Or maybe we can ask about it on this network later, if they don't know either.

It sounds like a lot of work, but... I guess we have all the time here. [A little, sheepish, laugh.] Making cute messages with our Pokémon would be so much fun too.
alonelyworld: (Smile)

[personal profile] alonelyworld 2013-02-26 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
True.

That could be very fun.
herwish: (☜☆☞ It's so cool and amazing)

[personal profile] herwish 2013-02-26 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, and drawing with our Pokémon could be very fun too! Teaching them to draw on this little screen sounds pretty difficult though.
alonelyworld: (Default)

[personal profile] alonelyworld 2013-02-27 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
Especially with the bigger ones.
herwish: (✎ What to draw next?)

[personal profile] herwish 2013-02-27 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Nod.] I have no idea how big they can get, but this device is so tiny. Ah, well at least everyone can draw on paper and other bigger things.
alonelyworld: (Eyes closed)

[personal profile] alonelyworld 2013-02-27 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
That's true. I wonder if my pokemon would like to draw.
herwish: (☜☆☞ Think of happy thoughts)

[personal profile] herwish 2013-03-02 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
You can always try? Who knows, they could be real artists.
alonelyworld: (Smile)

[personal profile] alonelyworld 2013-03-02 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
I will. It should turn out interesting, at least.
herwish: (☜☆☞ Super excited)

[personal profile] herwish 2013-03-02 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
And then we can talk about the results later. I can't wait to get more Pokémon to try this with them too. [Someone's all excited.]
alonelyworld: (Eyes closed)

[personal profile] alonelyworld 2013-03-02 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, definitely!
herwish: (☜☆☞ I have an idea .... maybe)

[personal profile] herwish 2013-03-03 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Great. I was already thinking of getting all the drawing supplies for myself, now I'll get to think something for Pokémon too.
alonelyworld: (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] alonelyworld 2013-03-03 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
They shouldn't be too hard to find, I would think.
herwish: (Default)

[personal profile] herwish 2013-03-04 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
With the way how most things seem to be all about Pokémon here? I wouldn't be too surprised if finding them for myself is more difficult than finding stuff the supplies for them.
alonelyworld: (Attentive)

[personal profile] alonelyworld 2013-03-04 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
If I find some, I can always let you know.
herwish: (☜☆☞ Angelic smile)

[personal profile] herwish 2013-03-04 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
I'd like that, thank you. If I find some, I'll let you know too.
alonelyworld: (Smile)

[personal profile] alonelyworld 2013-03-04 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Okay.
