001; video/action: new bark town; adventure time;

[when the video feed turns on, there’s a hassle in the background, a burst of flame, some frantic jabbering in the background. a dark-skinned lad with a worried expression gestures at a sleepy camel in tow. the camel sneezes. there is fire. the Mom, her expression pleasant, is reaching for a broom. his voice filters through the speakers, frantic--]

But ma’am, you don’t understand! The camel, it’s sneezing fire! Is it allergies? No, shouldn’t this violate some kind of a safety hazard--?

[meanwhile, in the background, a redhead, smaller than the tanned kid, is fussing about, opening drawers, peeking in cabinets, turning over jars and looking underneath various furniture. he’s followed around by a tiny, fat, blue thing, picking up discarded items, sniffing at them and checking if they’re edible, then hiding them in its furry skirt-thing. they’re both not paying any attention to the flaming camel. why? because there is something much more important to do.]

Oi, Jackal, stop bothering Mom about the camel and help me find marshmallows. We can totally roast them every time that thing sneezes!

[the dark-skinned lad double-takes, makes a choking sort of sound, and turns to his companion. Mom is smiling.]

Bunta, what are you-- [a sudden, angry, scraping sound, the texture of a broom across a countertop, and Jackal throws up his arms, eyes wide] No, ma’am, please, put down that broom! Ma’am--

Uh oh, trouble!

You think?! Door, door, door--

[the roar of a mother, reclaiming her kitchen, because some things are universal. the broom swings through the air. the video catches the tail end of two teenagers, a camel and a … furry bear cub thing as they careen out the door, the redhead victorious with a jar of cookies tucked under his arm like a trophy (a soft echo of ‘dou, tensai-teki?’ in his wake.)]

OUT. Out, out, out, out, out--

[aaaaand feed cuts]

It wasn't in my prior aspirations, no. Though I haven't had much choice since arriving here; they're simply a way of life in this world.

[And as if on cue, up pops his Eevee, Lady, to see what new person her true love is talking to now.]

No, I'm afraid Phantom is a bit occupied at the moment, defending a section of wet paint from anyone that might disrupt it. This is Lady, the first Pokemon I bred here.

[The way he says that second sentence, it's not hard to tell who's the favorite here. Hint: it's not the one watching paint dry.]

[So they got off to a rocky start. And besides, inferiority complexes are good for personal growth; just look at Akaya.]

From what I can tell, it mostly involves leaving them alone together. Outside of that, I'm sorry to say the mechanics remain a mystery.

[And it serves the purpose of keeping people out of the paint. Bonus.]

Ah, hello. You're quite the character, aren't you? [Says the guy with a roster full of classy animals with pretentious literary names.] I'm sure he'll serve you well, Marui-kun. He already seems to share your appetite.

[And Lady, being more familiar with the workings of the PokeGear, proceeds to size up this newcomer before turning away to look up at Yagyuu, flicking her tail dismissively.]

I don't doubt it. I'm sure you'll raise him well, however he happens to turn out.

Is that your aspiration? To complete the Gym Challenge? It's ambitious, but I'm sure it's far from impossible.

[...So awkward.]

At the moment, we're currently renting a house in Goldenrod City. And I can attest to the fact that Yukimura-kun is raising a fine garden out near the tennis court.

Actually, Yukimura-kun had much the same idea. I think there was talk of starting a Pokemon tennis league of some sort, once we were settled in a more permanent residence.

Ah, and you won't find a store with tennis equipment until Goldenrod City, I'm afraid. Yet another reason why we chose this one in which to establish ourselves.

It's the largest city in Johto. It only seems reasonable to use it as a permanent base of operations.

And it's three weeks by foot, at least. Considerably less by air.

I'm not particularly familiar with the old game, but no, I doubt it is. It'd make things much too easy, wouldn't it?

[Well, he supposes that's one perk of being preceded by your doubles partner for six months at a stretch: he'll come running to pick you up.]

Have you spoken with Niou-kun yet?

[Oh, now that's amusing. And so pleasantly familiar that he really can't resist.]

Perhaps I am. How would you know the difference?
