[Video Post 02/Action 01]

[Video feed turns on, showing a Pachirisu sitting on a bench. The Bellsprout tower can be seen in the background]

Hello everyone~! This is the newest member of my team, Ritsuko! Can you believe he's trying to learn how to dance? It's sooooo cute~!

[The Gear is panned over to several other Pokémon. An Eevee, Hoothoot, Flabébé, Espurr, and a Cleffa are playing around.]

Everyone here knows Himiko, of course! My Hoothoot is Fukuro, Sakuya is my Flabébé, Nanko is my Espurr's name, and Momomi is a Cleffa I got from a girl named Mimi! Momomi is adorable! She's attached to Sakuya, so she must love flowers.

[The Gear is turned now to Rise, who is pouting.]

I wanna get to Goldenrod as soon as possible. I've been here in Violet for a week now, and I need help! I don't want to travel all that way alone... Can someone help a girl out?

Action

Rise turns the PokéGear off with a sigh. She has not found anyone yet whom she could ask to travel with, so she's feeling rather down. Smiling on camera was easy. Keeping that smile after the cameras are off isn't as easy. Her Pokémon enjoyed the warm day immensely. Himiko kept playing tag with Nanako, Fukuro just let himself be resigned to his fate of horrible balance by just laying there on the ground and sleeping. Momomi and Sakuya are just happy to be exploring various little patches of grass in search of flowers.

It was a rather peaceful seen. Rise sits on the bench beside Ritsuko and grumbles. "I'm always tired now. Why can't there be cars or trains that take me everywhere. My feet hurt! It's not fair!" She looks visibly upset. "If the others were here, at least I'd have someone to travel with!"

Help an upset girl?

[Oh. He was just going to ignore this, but... have a smiling teenager on your screen, Rise.]

Ah, dancing? None of my Pokémon dance. Not yet, at least.

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

[You get a smile in return!]

After I caught him and healed him at the PokéCenter, Ritsuko started dancing around to music with me!

[Video]

[grapeeater]

Ah, that's really interesting. I was on a dance team at home... but I haven't found any Pokemon that dance here.

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

I was an idol! So I'm super happy I found Pokémon who like to dance and sing with me.

[Video]

[grapeeater]

Oh, really? You don't look familiar... but given the different worlds... have you ever heard of Zawame City?

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

[She shakes her head.]

Zawame City? Not that I know of! But not being recognized here... I want to change that!

[ ... okay admittedly she's felt super awkward about talking to Rise since the whole 'our worlds apparently don't match up' business but. well, she's still Rise, and Labrys still thinks of her as a friend so she can't quite bring herself to ignore this. ]

if you know someone who's got a bird pokemon you can see if they have the fly hm. if they've been to goldenrod you could see if they could give you a ride there

[dangerousidol]

Eh? I hadn't even thought of that! I guess I could always ask Momo-kun if he has a bird type that can fly...

text

[fortunatetoaster]

even if he doesn't you could always post on the network and see if anyone will help you out. there's a whole lotta people who have birds and things that can fly so you'd probably get a few people who wouldnt mind givin you a ride to goldenrod

[dangerousidol]

I think I'll try that! I see a lot of people with Pokémon around here, so I'll ask!

[crackpotcrocker]

Denzel in the meanwhile is out stretching his legs with his Growlithe when he notices that girl whom spoke to him in prison and walks over,

"Hello? What seems to be the trouble?"

Why does he care? She did help his sanity while in the slammer. Although, it is creepy how he just seemed to be there.

Meanwhile, Growlithe is sitting at her feet eyeing her as well.

[Action]

[dangerousidol]

Oh, she recognizes that voice. Rise slowly looks over at him. "C-Crocker-san! I didn't know you were out of j-jail!" She's been so busy with work, she hasn't checked the network. A girl has to have pocket change, after all! She tries not to look nervous with the man who would randomly yell about fairies.... and seemed to have a 10 year old rival.

Her eyes are drawn to the Growlithe, and they go wide. "Oh! You look like a little tiger puppy!" Ritsuko is also curious, so he jumps off of the bench and sniffs the Growlithe.

"Risu?"

[ His days were mostly spent wandering. It's the least he could do while they hung around Violet so rather than running off on his own, Ronald decided to stay in town and keep himself busy. After all, there were things to see and more time to train his team to take on Falkner.

But there was the matter of this girl and her grumbling. So he'll just come over, arms folded behind his back and hat tipped just so. ]

Couldn't help myself but overhear, miss. Having a bit of trouble, are we?

action;

[dangerousidol]

[Rise had not expected someone so... well, handsome, to talk to her. And he sounds foreign, too! Her nervous laughter coupled with her shaking her head a few times might look a it strange with a slight blush mixed in. Would Sempai be mad at her?]

N-Not really! I'm just thinking of a way to get to Goldenrod! I have a job waiting for me there!

action;

[diehardreaper]

[ Ah, such a wonderful reaction. This one was pretty cute. Good thing his own senpai wasn't around to see this. Doubtless he'd be dragged off by the ear.

Her answer doesn't surprise him though. ]

Goldenrod, eh? That's where everyone else heads to settle down once they get here, I find.

Mind if I ask what job?

action;

[dangerousidol]

I don't plan on settling down there! I like traveling!

[It's how you scout locations for shoots after all!]

I'm going to be the spokesperson for a sweet shop there!

action;

[diehardreaper]

Can't blame you. It's a new world to explore after all!

[ But ooh, hey... sweet shop? ]

Hmm... you wouldn't mean Honeyed Soul, would you? Just so happens I've been working with Killua and Botan for a while now!

action;

[dangerousidol]

I just wish it didn't involve so much walking...

[Oh! This was great!]

Yeah! That's why I need to get to Goldenrod quickly!

It's just another day of errands with Nagisa and his Pokemon, and today he's brought his Dedenne and Vivillon along for help. Though, his Dedene isn't helping much while it sits on his shoulder. Vivillon doesn't seem to mind though, as she flies alongside them carrying a small back of groceries.

Nagisa isn't particularly adept at helping out upset girls, and his Dedenne isn't either. That's why when the two of them happen to pass by Rise and hear her complaints, it just seems to go through one ear and out the other. Vivillon however, being a girl herself, seems to be a little more understanding as she pauses to flutter in place then suddenly turns around to fly over in Rise's direction. Nagisa doesn't notice she's gone until a few more steps, then he turns around in surprise and tries to catch up to her.

"--ah, Rei-chan! Where are you going? Come back!"

[action]

[dangerousidol]

Rise had all but given up on turning this day into something more fun and nice. Yes, her Pokémon were happy, and she was jealous they could be so carefree. It must be nice never having a single worry in the world other than battling, eating, and having a good time with others of their kind. Or that's at least what Rise thought. They were cute no matter how you looked at them.

Having a gigantic butterfly coming at you certainly was not what she expected. She lets out a startled squeak and backs away. Himiko senses the change in her trainer and jumps up on Rise's lap, making an almost hissing noise at what she thinks it an enemy.

"H-Himko! B-Be nice!" stammers Rise, looking ready to cry even more. This was a huge bug... pretty, but huge.

[Action]

Momo knew that it was about time that Rise would show up in Violet City and, to be honest, he was really looking forward to the meeting. He had an Oshawott egg to give to her and he was excited to meet someone who looked so pretty when he saw her in the video. Maybe she could be her new love now that Gou-san was gone?! He would have to wait and see.

So he spent the day looking for Rise and, when he finally spots her, he grins from ear to ear and runs towards her, followed by his Samurott.

"Rise-san, Rise-san!"

[Action]

[dangerousidol]

After the initial being upset period, Rise had gone to checking through the map on her Gear to figure out how to get to the next town. She perks up when she hears a familiar voice coming towards her, looking over and smiling brightly. Even Himiko perks up and bounces over to greet Momotarou with some chirps.

Rise didn't know what the Pokémon beside Momo was. It looked strong, and like a samurai.. she decided to look it up later. For now, she stands and puts her hands behind her back. "Momo-kun! I was wondering when you'd find me!"

She kneels down, picks Himiko up, and holds her close. "See, Himiko, I knew he'd find us~!"

[Action]

[peach_boy]

"I knew I'd find you sooner or later! I'm sorry it took me so long!"

He says, as he pets Mijumaru, his Samurott, with his free hand. Momotarou takes the chance to take a good look at Rise. Yup, she looked even prettier in person, there was no doubt about that one. He blushes a little bit as he handles the Oshawott egg to her.

"This is the egg I promised, Rise-san!"

[Action]

[dangerousidol]

"It's alright! It is a bigger town than Cherrygrove!"

Was he flustered? Rise can't help but find that cute. She's used to having boys fall for her left and right, but Momotarou seemed a lot more honest than those other boys. She's sure enough from the conversations to assume he didn't have a malicious bone in his body. He was just naturally a sweet boy.

She shifts Himiko into one of her arms and takes the egg. Himiko immediately starts nuzzling it and cooing happily.

"Aw~! She likes it!" She tilts her head as she smiles at Momotarou. "Thank you~! You're so sweet~! Are you sure I can't pay you back in some way?"

[Action]

[peach_boy]

"I heard they only get bigger as you keep going!"

Momo simply loves pretty girls. And he has been quite heartbroken with Gou-san being gone and the fact that, when she was there, she didn't remember him. But either way, he didn't want to think about it right now, he was with another pretty lady!

"I'm sure! When you just start, it's good to have people help you a little!"
