video/action | new bark town

[shotlocking]

[ Hello, Johto, you've received another new face! ... Er, one that looks pretty bewildered and more concerned than anything. She's not even aware that the Azurill she'd received is filming her, but Aqua does what Aqua does best: She gets information. Aqua makes her way around the town, doing her best to gather information. All the while, the Azurill is filming her... though, honestly, the camera's a little shaky. Um. More than "a little" shaky, because she's holding the camera with her feet.

... That sure is a thing that's happening. But she's trying, and that's what matters.

Several minutes pass before Aqua realizes her Azurill is filming her. ]

Oh! [ She kneels down next to the little one, smiling fondly (somehow, she notes to herself, because she's still getting used to the whole "not being trapped in the realm of darkness" thing). It's hard not to be in good spirits with such a cute critter, after all. ]

Can everyone see this? I've never encountered a device like this, but it doesn't seem too difficult to work.

Hello. My name is Aqua, and I've just arrived. [ ... ] I don't suppose I could easily find some sort of food for my friend, here. She does seem very hungry.

[ And sure enough, yup, that's the sound of the Azurill's tummy growling. At least she looks embarrassed about it. ]

Have you found the answers that satisfy you?

[Red isn't one for wasting anyone's time, after all.]

I have, actually. I hadn't expected the answers to come so quickly, though.

[ladywithnovoice]

The network is useful like this. Besides, everyone has been in the same situation as you, once. "Pay it forward", etc.

[shotlocking]

I can tell some have been here for a long time--they're used to this, I'm sure. Still, I'm glad for everyone's kindness.

[ladywithnovoice]

Do you have any ideas on where you're going to head to now, or are you just going to take things one step at a time?

[shotlocking]

I think I'll take things one step at a time--or one town at a time, rather.

Eventually, I would like to travel to Kanto, but Johto seems to have too many attractions to ignore.

[ladywithnovoice]

I've traveled around it a fair bit myself. Now that it's nearing summer, maybe you should think about dropping by Cianwood. It's a seaside town.

[shotlocking]

I'll keep an eye out for it. A seaside town sounds wonderful when it's warmer out.

I imagine I have a way to go before I reach it, though?

[ladywithnovoice]

Unfortunately. New Bark is pretty far from most of the major towns and cities in Johto.

It's easier if you have a Pokemon that you can ride, but not everyone is that lucky.

[shotlocking]

I imagine riding this little Azurill would be unpleasant in several different ways--mostly for her.

I'm certain I'll fare well enough.

[ladywithnovoice]

There are Pokemon breeders around who often sell the eggs of their Pokemon. Maybe you can keep an eye out for them?

[shotlocking]

I certainly will. Do you have any recommendations?

[ladywithnovoice]

I haven't bought any eggs in a while... You might want to talk to someone named Riku. I've heard he's been breeding lots of Pokemon.</font<

[shotlocking]

I've known Riku for some time, actually, but I'll be sure to speak to him about that. Thank you.

[ladywithnovoice]

Really? That's good to hear. It feels a little easier to adjust to this place if you have familiar faces around.
