Video 001 | New Bark Town

[dangerousidol]

[The video feed turns on to show a little fox cat like creature looking expectantly upwards. Its tail swishes back and forth like how a puppy would wag its tail when happy. This earns the little creature a soft giggle from the person behind the camera.]

You're so cute, Himiko!

[Himiko chirps in response, and the camera is panned around to show a young girl now with curly brown pigtails.]

Hey there~! If anyone is watching this, I'm Rise Kujikawa!

[The camera is put down and the girl sits down on the ground, Himiko climbing into her lap. She looks less happy now. Her backdrop is the small town of New Bark.]

So, what is this place, really? I woke up in a strange house, and a crazy lady who called herself my mom shoved a bag in my hand and told me 'Good luck!'. She didn't even let me ask any questions!

[She now pats Himiko's head, and the small creature enjoys this immensely.]

This old man gave me what he called a Pokéball, goes on and on about this 'world of Pokémon', calls me a trainer, and then sends me off. The trainer manual is confusing, and this whole thing seems like some little kids video game or TV show! I know that Himiko is an Eevee because this really loud voice from my Gear told me what she is. It's called a PokéDex, right? Can I go home when I catch them all?

[She's pouting now. Himiko does the same. She seems to enjoy copying her trainer.]

Oh! And this music is really annoying. How do you turn it off?!

There! Y'see?

Gettin' in shape has its pluses.

I still don't want to be too butch, you know. Having curves can have its advantages!

[foolishwren]

All right, all right, fair enough, don't rub it in.

Some of us had to figure out how to get by WITHOUT curves, y'know!

_{[Heather was apparently standing behind the door or something when the curves were being handed out.]}

It's okay~! I think you look fine the way you are!

[She genuinely thinks Heather looks good the way she is.]

If all girls looked the same, it'd be pretty boring, right?

[foolishwren]

Wh-- awh, well, thanks.

It's true.

Takes all kinds.

Besides, a good set of clothes can make your image! Girly, classy, elegant, anything! We should go shopping. I can show you so much~!

_{[Man, talk about nostalgia. It's kind of a comfort to know that no matter WHEN Rise is from or how many memories she has, she's always all about the shopping.]}

Heh, thanks, but I think I've seen just about everything Johto fashion has to offer.

Is the fashion really that bad here? But where am I supposed to get cute clothes then! I can't sew!

[This is a disaster! She's supposed to always look good in her line of work.]
