Video/Action for New Bark Town

[red_roses]

Hello...? I don't know if anyone I knew before is still here, but, um, if you are....I guess I'm back...?

O-Oh, right. My name is Ib. I remember being here in Jhoto before- I had a full team of Pokemon. I don't mind if anyone has adopted them....but I'd really like to know if they're doing okay. I had a Ralts, a Charmander, a Teddiursa, a Vanillite, and a Ditto. I had a Buneary, too, but I got her back from Professor Elm.

Oh! My Ditto, Copycat, is what's called a "shiny." It means he's a different color from other Ditto.

Th-Thank you so much!

Well, since we're already here, maybe we can go through Johto first. It's where you were- before, wasn't it?

[captainash]

They didn't smell that bad, actually. Though that could change when the slime dries.

[red_roses]

That's right. I got as far as Goldenrod City.

[red_roses]

Ewwwww....

[artificialrose]

Then let's see if we can make it farther this time, alright? I'll stay with you the entire way.

[captainash]

...But it can't be worse than a Grimer, right?

[konpeitoqueen]

[Extortion failed

dammit

she doesn't want to paaay]

Well, yeah, I know. I worked there. [Eye-rolling.] I just want one with more Egg Moves than that!

Re: [video]

[red_roses]

I forgot about those!

[video]

[captainash]

Lucky you. I bet a lot of people would like to forget about them too.

[red_roses]

Really? That'd be so nice, Garry!

[red_roses]

Oh...well, my Buneary is level 5 again, so I won't be getting many egg moves for some time.

Re: [video]

[red_roses]

I really hope I don't run into any...

[konpeitoqueen]

[Shrug. Attempted extortion aside, this conversation was going nowhere.

...Ib, right? Are you a Trainer or Breeder? [She could make Ib promise to give her one...] You said you were in Johto before, after all! You know, right?

[...So many people coming back... she's slightly curious to what world she comes from, but also doesn't care that much.]

[artificialrose]

Well I can't just leave you on your own, can I? It wouldn't do at all.

[video]

[captainash]

You should be safe from New Bark Town to Violet, at the very least.

[red_roses]

[She giggles.] Most everyone here is nice though. And there aren't any mannequins.

[red_roses]

Oh, I'm a breeder. I'm just starting out again, though.

Re: [video]

[red_roses]

I hope so...

[artificialrose]

[He gives a shudder at that and rubs his arms.] That's a relief... I've had enough of those for a lifetime.

OH JESUS FUCK YOU HTML

[konpeitoqueen]

All over again? So I guess none of your Pokémon are here, huh.

[MUST FIND SHINY DITTO FIRST BEFORE SHE DOES] It must be annoying to get pulled away from a pampered, innocent life of a kid.

[red_roses]

U-Uhm, well....[ABOUT THAT.] I usually have to do extra homework for my mother....she wants me to be more cultured...

[red_roses]

Me too. I never want to see any of Guertana's works ever again.

[konpeitoqueen]

[Haha everyone has a better life than her in her opinion.

#murderislandlyfe]

Your mother is making a good choice! Unless you're a filthy Westerner with a half-assed, violent culture, learning more and being cultured is always a plus. [Heheh.] If you think 'extra homework' is bad, you really have a pampered child's life.

[red_roses]

W-Well, I....[She breaks eye contact.] I don't have many friends because I always have a lot to study for...

[konpeitoqueen]

Pffft, is that meant to be a bad thing? The less friends you have, the better. Independence is important in today's world- friends can easily stab you in the back!

What you want is allies. People sworn to stick with you no matter what. Casual 'friends' are just weaklings reaching out for bonds in order to justify that they're not completely useless.

[...And then she remembers she's talking to a kid.] What I'm trying to say is, your mom isn't doing anything wrong.
