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!

[video]
But it sounds like you aren't in "Kanto" yourself?
[video]
[video]
Are there any spots along the way you suggest we explore?
[video]
Oh, but you should definitely visit the museum in Pewter~
video
What sort of museum is it?
video
A science one. They even had a small space exhibit, which was very surprising...
video
Though that's quite a difference, considering a town like Pallet.
video
Ufufu... Isn't it? Pallet felt like it was just barely big enough to be a town...
video
That said, I've never been on a hike or camping trip that long before, much less while looking out for Pokémon. Is there any supplies or Pokémon type you'd advise us to take with us, should we make the trip?

[Mami-san asked about the spots, but...]
So, any tips for those who are just beginning their journey in Kanto? Like, are the routes long or are the Pokémon who appear at nights dangerous or something like that?
Re: [video]
Hmmm~ I can't really say... To be honest, I was bit overleveled when I traveled through Kanto... Although, as I told your friend, do be careful of the mountain. I spent nearly a month traveling through it.
*... her case being Very Extreme*
[video] 1/2
[Wait. Thinking back what she just heard.]
[video]
[video]
Mmm... It was a long, winding mountain... Be sure to bring plenty of supplies when you two get there! It was very tight at the end of my trip through it...
[video]
[Long, winding mountain?] Sounds like it would be even worse in the winter - unless you went there on this season. ...Does... that place have a name?
Re: [video]
[video]
[That name is one of the prettiest names for a mountain, ever.]
Oh. That's a very pretty name. What kind of Pokémon live there?
