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!

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

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.

[red_roses]

Sometimes, it's really hard work, though.

[konpeitoqueen]

That's to be expected. Life is hard work until you're at the top, after all! Before that, you need to slave away under those above you.

Unless you never make it to the top, like the majority of the human race, and have to slave away forever.

[SAIONJI YOU'RE TALKING TO A KIIIID] ...Well, in my world, at least. You can probably bum about and still make it here.

[red_roses]

Oh...[WAY TO GO, YOU MADE HER SAD.]

[konpeitoqueen]

[...

well

she doesn't know how to fix that]

Well, you need to get back to exploring, don't you? This world is pretty kind- [and stupid] -so enjoy it while it lasts.

[red_roses]

Oh...um...okay. Th-thank you.
