( 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!]

Violet City! Nearby the entrance to Sprout Tower to be precise, if that helps. Wait, you really know where all of them are...?

[Best sister, to be honest!]

[bylight]

You'll find Espurr and Shinx in that area on the routes to and from. Route 36 to the north of Goldenrod or south of that city has Litleo. There's Meowth in Goldenrod itself. Glameow as well, but those can be found on Route's 38 and 39 as well. Purrloin and Skitty can only be caught wild in Kanto. Absol and Zangoose are cat like... but I don't think they are true cat Pokémon. Zangoose is listed as a cat ferret on the Dex, so if that's enough for you, go to the Safari Zone of Kanto for that one.

[Blame Greed as well for getting Lightning into the cat collecting business.]

There's breeders that have these Pokémon as well.

[melodlies]

[Now...she's so impressed that the answer doesn't come right away. Actually, the first thing Lighting can hear is an applause.]

I'm impressed. There are...at least 9 cat or cat like Pokémon and you remembered where they all are. You can't say that's not impressive! I bet you have all of them already, don't you?

[bylight]

[... okay, having someone clap is embarrassing. Lightning looks away from the screen for a moment to compose herself.]

Only 7 of those cats can evolve further. Shinx and Litleo are the only ones that are a three step evolution. So that makes a total of 18 different cats you can collect. Is that enough cats for you?

[melodlies]

[For giving out even more information...Lighting can only get a louder applause.]

Are you a professor or what? It's amazing that you know all this... And of course, it's enough! I wouldn't mind even more, but who said I can't get doubles if I'd like to have more?

[bylight]

[Please stop embarrassing her. This is a time where she is glad Fang is not around.]

No. I just... have been here a long while.... Getting doubles is your choice. I have a few doubles myself, such as my sister's Liepard as well as my own. And a pair of Meowstic.

[melodlies]

[She can't help it, she's so impressed...!]

Well, even if you have been around for a long while it's still a big chunk of information...and you remember even the routes they can be found on, so...

[No applause this time, though, just a wide smile.]

Thanks, you've helped me a lot! So...you and your sister collect them, am I right?

[bylight]

[No not going to tell this girl that remembering trivial things like that is what soldiers do.]

... no. We haven't since she left.

[melodlies]

Oh...sorry, I didn't mean to—

[Not that she knew, but it still turned out awkward.]

Thank you so much, though.

[bylight]

It's alright. She's back home, where she's meant to be.

[At least they spent time together.]

You'll find more people in this world who can help you answer any questions you have.
