EV News
[The usual EV News jingle that echoes out from Poke’gears all across Johto and Kanto is accompanied by jingle bells, and the reporter on screen is smiling in her ugly Stantler-patterned sweater. The desk she sits at is festively garnished with silvery tinsel along the edges, and the mug in front of her is topped with large marshmallows and garnished with a candy cane.]
Hello and welcome to a special Holiday edition of EV News! With snow on the ground and merriment in the air, winter is making sure you know that the holidays are here again - and we’ve got the news you need to ensure your celebrations are the best yet!
[The screen behind her shifts to a fairly recent view of the Goldenrod Sports Stadium, maintenance workers clearing the snow as eager shoppers file in.] The annual Goldenrod Christmas Market is back, and will be running up through to December 25th! Handmade goods, rare TMs, and those tricky, hard to find items are already up for sale, along with numerous other goods from vendors and artisans from Goldenrod, Johto, and beyond! It’s a must-shop stop for all of your winter holiday needs, but it won’t be the only place you can enjoy yourselves!
[The screen then shifts to shots of various towns and cities in the snow in the midst of decorating the streets for the season.] From the largest metropolis to the smallest village, Winter Solstice Festivals are being held around both the Johto and Kanto regions on December 21st - that’s the longest night of the year, folks! Stay tuned for further news on local festivities as the date approaches.
[The reporter shifts some paper on the desk, glancing down at the next report, and again the screen behind her changes - this time, to the Silph Co. logo.]
Of course, even with the holidays at hand, that doesn’t stop the news from happening, and we have an exciting update from the Silph Company. You may remember their spring broadcast on their latest and greatest innovation: the creation of the synthetic Pokemon Type: Null. [The feed cuts to a video of a strange Pokemon that may be familiar to some trainers; it’s taken directly from Alphonse’s network post from last month.] One Beta Tester’s experience with this Pokemon has resulted in a strange and intriguing evolution! We're very excited to welcome Trainer Alphonse Elric and his partner, Amicus!
[The camera pans and zooms out to reveal Alphonse himself, accompanied by the creature from the video. Said beast is, remarkably, sitting very still and NOT zooming around the studio.]
[The reporter turns to face them both, beaming.]
Thank you for joining us, Mr. Elric! We're so glad you could finally make it.
Yes, it's good to be here! Been travelling a lot lately, ehe.
Ah, that's the life of a trainer for you! So, tell us a little bit about your magnificent companion here!
Well, Amicus has always been very curious about... well, pretty much anything! They always follow me around and try to figure out anything I'm doing, or even just watch people going about their business. Before Amicus evolved, I could keep an eye on them pretty easily, but now... well, once they get going, I'm not sure they know how to stop!
[Amicus, clearly bursting with energy despite behaving for the camera, turns to give the side of his trainer's face an enormous, slobbery lick.]
[Alphonse laughs, and so does the reporter.]
Well, it's certainly clear that you two share a very tight bond! Which, as a matter of fact, leads me to our second guest today-- for more information on this exciting new discovery, we have Scientist Theodore Theramin joining us as well! Welcome, Theodore!
[The camera zooms out a little more, now panning to the left and revealing the young scientist who had first introduced the public to Type: Null over half a year ago. He looks a bit tired, but has his best professional face on. This time, there is no Null gnawing at his coat sleeve, but he is definitely glancing over at Amicus nervously. He totally just got this suit dry-cleaned.]
Ahem, uh, thank you, and greetings to you, viewers at home, trainers, beta testers-
And Happy Holidays, Mister Theramin.
[There’s a beat of sheepish silence from the scientist, and he reaches up and subtly wipes the sweat from his brow.] Ah, yes, of course - Happy Holidays, and happy... discoveries, as well! For, thanks to the quick response of our excellent beta tester here, we have been able to further... er, that is... allow the public to further discover the wonderful potential of our creation, which we of course knew would be... emerging, once our testers had...bonded with the Type: Nulls sufficiently enough! For, you see, it takes a strong bond of friendship based on significant love and trust for it to reach this form, much like the "Eeveelutions" Espeon and Umbreon, as I’m sure you all at EV News are well aware of.
[He chuckles softly, but when no one else in the studio laughs, he stops. Amicus lifts a hind leg to scratch behind one ear. Theodore the scientist is now visibly sweating.] Ah, through our... extensive testing and research, we have been able to discern this, as well as determine that this new Pokemon, which we have dubbed… [And he smiles here, the expression a bit stilted and awkward on his face.] Silphally, a proud ally to all trainers from your friends at Silph Co.! ...has gained the ability of Adaptability - that is, moves of its own type, custom-chosen by its trainer ahead of time, will receive a powerful boost in strength! We’ll be providing information for a full Pokedex entry in the coming weeks, so that future trainers will be able to learn all about “Silphally” and the wonderful-
[And suddenly, the footage distorts. The sound cuts out to static, the picture glitches - and it’s not just because of the live connection, either. The reporter’s expression shifts between ripples in the video between confusion, to surprise, to shock before the video cuts to black for a solid fifteen seconds. When it comes back on, the screen behind the reporter is black, and her green, festive Eevee mug has toppled and spilled all over her news report papers, the candy cane garnish in pieces. There’s rushing and shouting from behind the camera, and other reporters are cutting through the set-- Amicus is now standing, with Alphonse attempting to calm it, and Theodore has disappeared from view entirely. The main reporter behind the desk looks extremely shaken, but re-establishes eye contact with the camera anyway.]
O-Our apologies for the interruption - we seem to be experiencing significant difficulties - augh! [She winces, grasping at her ear again; someone’s voice loud and harried carrying over it.] The station - there was a rumble, and everything shook very suddenly - Frank, slowly, please! [She’s talking half to the camera, half to the voice in her ear.] Eyewitness reports of - fire, there are fires and - explosions in the warehouse district? No word on possible casualties, but...huh? Wait, Frank, repeat that…[There’s a pause, and slow horror dawns on the reporter’s face.] There are Pokemon coming from the area of the explosion in...increasing numbers?!
[The earpiece shorts out, then, and the reporter winces and yanks it out, looking again from her rushing coworkers towards the camera.] The, er, the local police - will likely be on the scene, but, as this has just happened, we at EV News advise all of Goldenrod City to stay away from the warehouse district and to shelter in place until further news emerges, we will...endeavor to bring you the most current update on the situation as it develops. For now, this is EV News, signing off.
