Video/Action for Goldenrod

[Ib's all dirty and disheveled again, but this time she's definitely in a much better mood. She's got a Poke-ball in her hands.]

I...I did it! I finally caught a Ditto! [She shows off the Poke-ball.]

It was really hard, and we had to chase it really far, but, we didn't give up! Lief and Flower did great too! [The Chikorita and Buneary, also a bit beat up, bounce happily in the background.]

I'm so happy! Now, I can start breeding eggs!

[red_roses]

Oh, thank you! Lief worked really hard. He really likes to battle.

I don't think I ever introduced myself, sir. I'm Ib.

[zero_charisma]

No need t'thank me. It was all you.

"Ib"...?

[What kinda name is that? But she seems a sweet girl and there's no need to rain on her victory with a tactless question like that, so Sniper widens his smile a little more.]

A pleasure to make yer acquaintance then Ib. I'm Sniper.

[red_roses]

It's nice to meet you too, Mr. Sniper.

[zero_charisma]

So...

[...OK, now what. He hasn't spoken to a kid in ages. Should he just hang up right now?]

...why don't ya tell me about it. How ya caught that Ditto. I might have to find one myself if I'm serious about this breedin' business.

[red_roses]

Um, well, we had to do a lot of leveling up first! It was hard, because I don't like fighting...

[zero_charisma]

Well, that's just how it is. Ain't no escapin' that as a fact of life.

[red_roses]

I guess so....I guess I'm lucky that Lief likes to battle.

[zero_charisma]

You ever got the other one t'listen to you? ...Razzle, was it?

[red_roses]

Um, well...Razzle doesn't like to get dirty. She'll fight if she has to, but I won't force her.

[zero_charisma]

Hmm. Well, so long as she's listenin' to you.

Alright, so you upped your pokemon a few levels. What else did you do?

[red_roses]

I kept switching Lief and Flower around so it got confused!

[zero_charisma]

Ditto's got the ability to change itself into different Pokemon, if I'm rememberin' this right. So mixin' up who's fighting it would mess with it a little.

Not bad, Ib.

[red_roses]

[She blushes.] Th-thank you.

[zero_charisma]

Looks like you're a better breeder than I thought. I'll have to keep an eye out for you.

[He's only joking; the slight upturn at the corner of his lips hint at that.]

Y'didn't really need anyone's help t'catch that Ditto now, did ya? So next time yer in a hard situation, don't be so quick t'give up.

[red_roses]

I...I'll try harder. I promise!

[zero_charisma]

That's a good girl. Let me know when you've got the first batch of eggs up.

[red_roses]

I'll be sure to!
