[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?

Killua-san is a kid, right? He seemed really mature for a kid.

[She's excited that it'll take her less time to get to Goldenrod. Plus, bicycles were good for exercise.]

Alright! I'll do just that!

[Oh, this clinches it that he's a foreigner. Have another soft blush. She takes his hand and shakes it. Not too firmly, not too softly. She's hoping she's doing it right.]

It's nice to meet you, Kox-san! I'm Rise Kujikawa~

He might be a kid but he's running the operation! None to shabby for a lad his age, eh?

[ And that handshake is met with a small smile as he turns her hand to place the lightest kiss to the back of her palm before releasing it. ]

Pleasure of making your acquaintance is all mine, Miss Kujikawa! When you get to Goldenrod, be sure to send my regards to Botan'n Killua, alright?

[dangerousidol]

I'm impressed! He said he'd make more spicy treats~!

[This blush was the brightest of all. What a gentleman!]

I-I'll... d-do just that!

action;

[diehardreaper]

S'that right? Lancelot'll be glad to hear that. He likes those!

[ Ah, good to know he still hadn't lost his touch with these other-world ladies. ]

And if you've any trouble or just fancy a chat, you could always leave me a message, alright?

action;

[dangerousidol]

So does Himiko!

[She nods, looking rather giddy.]

O-okay~!

Might be a while til Mister Spears and I get back to Goldenrod but when I do... or if we manage to catch up to each other again...

[ And have a grin right back. ]

I'd count on you saving me a spot for dinner together as payment for the bike, alright?

[ Ronald, please, she's barely out of highschool. ]

action;

[dangerousidol]

[Wow, this is like the fourth guy who wants to have a meal with her... more than she thought in this small amount of time!]

I wouldn't mind that at all~ Though I do have to tell you I'm only sixteen! So nothing inappropriate, alright~?

[Rise gives him a wink. She's recovered enough that now two can play this game.]

action;

[diehardreaper]

Blimey, sixteen and no fiance in sight?

[ But that grin back probably says he's just teasing. ]

But on a serious note, 'course not. M'not that sort of man, I can tell you that at least!

action;

[dangerousidol]

F-Fiance?!

[She's got years of her career to look forward to!]

R-Right... Good! Else my ni-chan would be mad at you.

action;

[diehardreaper]

Thought a cute thing like yourself'd been snatched up by now is all.

[ Forgive him, he can't help himself. ]

Anyroad, I'd best be off lest Mister Spears chew my ear off for lollygagging. Was just supposed to take a bit of a walk around town. Will you be alright?

action;

[dangerousidol]

N-No. I'm not ready to marry yet!

[She's not used to guys turning the table on her when it comes to flirting.]

Y-Yes! I was going to go back to my room and get ready. T-Thank you again!
