( Étude No. 2 ) Video/Action for Violet

[melodlies]

video;

[Her introduction this time around is a V sign that she flashes just before the camera lens as the feed begins. The next thing she does is pulling her arm away, so everyone could see her and the Poké Ball she's holding.The Sprout Tower is her background and it's late afternoon already, but she can't wait to get back to Pokémon Center to show off a little. Besides, this setting is far better, especially since the sun is setting down.]

Finally...after days of encountering way too many ghosts, spotting a hundred of Bellsprout and probably the same number of monks...FINALLY...

[Of course, she takes the extra effort to sound as dramatic as possible. Hoping that the suspense will make anyone who's watching excited just as she is, Kaori finally releases the Pokémon from the ball.]

Tot, tooooot!

[As soon as Chatot is out, Kaori changes the angle of the camera so everyone could have a better look. Let it be his instinct or something else, but he seems to know that he's being watched not just by his trainer...and flies up to sit on the lowest branch of a tree.]

Wow, he's so shy...

[Much to her surprise, just a while later she hears a voice coming from all the way up:]

He's so shy...

[At first, she just looks around, having no idea that it's Chatot speaking. But it becomes clear soon enough, when he repeats it a few more times.]

Wait, what is even going on, guys?!

[Kaori's gazing straight into the camera, clearly hoping to get some answers.

This has been newbie's first encounter with a Pokémon that knows how to imitate human speech. Have a nice evening!]

action;

[Now that she knows what Chatot is capable of, back at the Pokémon Center Kaori sits on a sofa with her Jigglypuff, Chingling and new partner Chatot, watching the bird mimic voices of not only the rest of her Pokémon but also the one's that are passing so it quickly becomes rather loud there. More than anything, Kaori pays attention to his shaped like a metronome. It even moves like one...]

Hey, maybe I should name you after my friend...people call him a human metronome.

Human metronome. Human metronome.

[She's really impressed by how quick he catches on. Pokémon really are amazing.]

Anyway, we resume our training starting tomorrow! [Whining.] Hey, but today we celebrate!

[She's handing out berries she has found on their way here. Feel free to join them!]

That's right. If you take the time to teach him carefully, he can soon start to put together the words he hears into his own original sentences.

I've taught mine how to speak for me, in fact.

[melodlies]

Really? That's great...! How long did it take? Do I need to just talk to him and he'll eventually get it or should I do something special?

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

Well... I cheated and had my Psychic-type help me out.

Besides that, think of it as teaching a child. You'll have to talk to him a lot, so I'd recommend keeping him out of his Pokeball if you can.

[melodlies]

Any Psychic-type will do? Or does it have to be a specific Pokémon?

Like a child, huh...at this rate maybe I won't need to "cheat", haha. I guess that's what I'll do for now! I just hope he won't repeat e v e r y t h i n g

[He will.]

[ladywithnovoice]

Any type, so long as you know it gets along with you.

I'd be careful about that. Make sure he doesn't realize how to work the television or radio. He'll start picking up all sorts of things and you'll have no idea from where.

[Trust her, she knows from experience.]

[melodlies]

Oh, right!

Makes sense...they're really like children, aren't they? Well, they all kinda are, but at least they don't speak human...

[ladywithnovoice]

That's right. Some of them are a lot smarter, but it depends on the individual. They really are just like people.

Psychic types can help you bridge the language barrier, so that sort of thing is nice. I've also seen a lot of Pokemon that use the Pokegear to communicate on their own.

[melodlies]

Whoa, I haven't thought about giving them the Pokégear at all! Wait a second, I'll see if that works...

[The next message is sent after a few long minutes.]

FINally she let me type! Jigglypuff here, my trainer eats way too much sweets!

[ladywithnovoice]

Does she share?

[melodlies]

[All this time, Kaori's trying to take a peek on the screen, but Jigglypuff is just too agile.]

NOT AT ALL she's angry because she can't eat berries like we can!!

[ladywithnovoice]

Do you think you could talk to her about this sort of thing now that she's letting you use the Pokegear?

[melodlies]

OH...that's a good idea actually!!

[Finally, Kaori snatches the gear from Jigglypuff and quickly types another text:]

...what did she tell you, she's smirking...

[ladywithnovoice]

I think the two of you will have to have a talk in private. She seems upset about a few things.
