Look, isn't he cute?

[The speaker is off-screen, leaving the viewer an unobstructed view of the 'he" in question: a Woobat, a tuft of hair tied up on the top of its head with a Bellsprout-themed ribbon.

Manaka is in Violet City, and she'll be damned if she doesn't use her time outside Goldenrod to buy cutesy touristy accessories and put them on her Pokémon.

Despite Manaka's bubbly enthusiasm, the Woobat seems flustered by the attention, tucking its head down and covering its face with its wings. Manaka giggles, and then the view spins. When it comes to a stop again, Manaka is beside her Pokémon, affectionately bumping her cheek against its.]

If I haven't spoken to you before, my name is Manaka! I still haven't been here for very long, I don't think, so I wanted to ask everyone something: Out of all the Pokémon you personally have, which one do you think is your cutest? And if you have any fun pictures or stories about them, you should definitely share those, too!

Oh My Ghoul, I'm so jelly! That's such a cute bat!

[beastofasister]

Isn't he? He's so round and fluffy—and look at his cute nose! [As she speaks, she boops his nose to demonstrate. Apparently, Manaka has decided that Charlotte receives too much of her public gushing, so now it's Mochi's turn.] I'm going to head up to Ecruteak before I come back to Goldenrod. If I see another one on the way, I'll catch it for you!

[Not that she knows if there even are any wild ones in the area, but...]

[veggie_vamp]

Awww, you're way too sweet! You're the best, Manaka!

I'm sorry I can't answer your question, though - all my Pokemon are way too cute, I couldn't possibly choose!

[At Draculaura's praise, Manaka's smile takes on a faintly flustered lilt.]

Mm, that's fine! It's a hard one. I just thought... Every time I see another video of somebody's Pokémon, it reminds me that I barely know what's out there. So I wanted see what everybody thinks is the cutest kind around!

[veggie_vamp]

I know, it's hard to know about all of them! But I try to catch ones that remind me of my friends back home.

[beastofasister]

Oh, that's a cute idea! I haven't seen any that remind me of the people I know, though... I've just been catching things because of how they look.

[veggie_vamp]

Yeah, I don't think there's a lot of human-looking Pokemon. But since I have friends who are ghosts and mummies and other kinds of monsters, it's easier for me!

[beastofasister]

Oh, that makes sense! [She claps her hand together. That's normal.] My little sister loves birds... Maybe I should try to catch one!

[veggie_vamp]

There are a ton of cutie birdies out there! I see them all the time in the forests!

[beastofasister]

Mm! I've seen them around, but I never really thought about catching one before now. I'll have to keep an eye out once I'm back on the road!

[veggie_vamp]

You can do it! I know you'll find the cutest bird ever!

[beastofasister]

Okay! Wish me luck!
