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!

Aw, that's a shame.

[Ho hum. So much for having special Pokémon.] So, how did you get it?

[red_roses]

Um, I think it's egg just wound up in my back pack. I still don't know who put it there.

[konpeitoqueen]

Wow, as if I'd believe that.

[welp] Some people are pretty charitable, but that's just hilarious. If you want to keep your secrets, just say it up front.

[red_roses]

!!! I'm not lying! That's what really happened!

[konpeitoqueen]

Yeah, and pigs fly.

[SHE AIN'T BUYIN' IT, GURL.] Well, knowing this place, pigs probably do fly. You know, if you're lying because you stole it, you can drop the act. It's terrible.

[She's going easy because the person on the other line seems like a genuine young girl. Though, that doesn't save her from too much.]

[red_roses]

[GASP.] I would never-!

[konpeitoqueen]

[Saionji would normally start laughing at this point, but she's gonna ask something first.]

By the way, how old are you?

[red_roses]

I'm nine. Why?

[konpeitoqueen]

[GCCCK DAMMIT

swallow back your words a bit Saionji]

Just curious. [SMOOTH] This world works in strange ways, so I guess you might be telling the truth. I'll be so kind as to believe you for now. [Unless you're that kind of nine-year-old...] I thought Dittos couldn't hatch out of eggs, though.

[red_roses]

Don't all Pokemon come from eggs?

[konpeitoqueen]

...Don't Dittos split in half into two or something?

[limited science and knowledge gg]

[red_roses]

Maybe? Maybe only the special ones come from eggs.

[konpeitoqueen]

Maybe.

[Good God she hopes this kid is just as innocent when she grows up because she will be so easy to make fun of, big shiny eyes and cute little 'be good' demeanor.]

What's your name, by the way? [For future reference.] I'm Saionji Hiyoko! SHSL Classical Japanese Dancer.

[red_roses]

I'm Ib. It's nice to meet you. What's SHSL mean?

[konpeitoqueen]

[YOU BETTER BE IMPRESSED, KID, OR ELSE.]

SHSL means Super High School Level. In my world, SHSL is a title given to those who are the most talented in their field across the whole planet! The best of the best! So, I'm the best Classical Japanese Dancer in my whole world.

[red_roses]

You're in high school?! [BUT WE'RE THE SAME SIZE WTF]

[konpeitoqueen]

[...SO THAT'S HOW IT'S GONNA BE, HUH]

You know, looks aren't everything! Isn't that common sense, even to a stupid nine-year-old?

How hard is it to get some respect around here?

[red_roses]

I! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean offense!

[konpeitoqueen]

[THAT'S RIGHT, GROVEL AT MY FUCKING FEET YOU PIECE OF-]

Ugh... I'm no longer in a good mood. [Yeah, as if she's ever.] I really want a rabbit to cheer me up. But I don't have any Pokémon close to that...

[hint hint GIVE ME YO BUNEARY or breed one she needs a Lopunny for Things]

[red_roses]

M-Maybe you could ask a breeder for a Buneary egg?

[konpeitoqueen]

[DAMMIT okay extortion of Pokémon has failed]

Do you know any Breeders? I can't have just any Pokémon! I am SHSL Classical Japanese Dancer, so I'm going to make sure they know how to dance.

[she doesn't care if you're not a breeder or under ten years old she's gonna try to manipulate you to give her free stuff]

[red_roses]

Um....I don't know if anyone I knew from the last time I was here is still here. There's a breeding center in Goldenrod city, though.

[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!

[red_roses]

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

[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.]
