( 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!]

So it's all just one big gamble...

[For a moment it seems that she's not really happy about that, but...]

It'll never get boring with him around, at least! Especially if he learns more words. Actually...it feels like it'll never get boring with these creatures around.

Especially not with your Haro.

Definitely not. You could spend a year here with only a single Pokémon without knowing a single moment of boredom. With the hundred or so we're allowed to raise at once? You could last a lifetime or six, and still discover something new about them every morning.

[melodlies]

That's why they're so amazing, really! Not only them, people are just like that too, I believe. And maybe it's naive and I shouldn't say it so early but I'm happy that can be here.

[A moment of silence.]

Great, now I've said something embarrassing and unnecessary...

[video]

[captainash]

[Ash shakes his head with a smile.]

That's hardly embarrassing or unnecessary. It just means you have the right state of mind to appreciate your stay in this world properly, instead of moaning about a situation you can't change.

[video]

[melodlies]

Thanks! I doubt that complaining would change anything anyway. And this world is really great, even though I haven't even seen so many places yet. I feel sorry for the people who can't notice that.

[Her adaptation skills is something she's proud of, actually.]

However, I bet they'll notice it soon enough.

[video]

[captainash]

They're likely to notice at the beginning of June, or November at the latest. Seeing this world at its most frantic helps us appreciate the calmer periods all the more.
