13th Zapfish [Video; Goldenrod City]
[It's quite clear that when the 'Gear starts up, it's not Thida who's filming it, because she's the one being filmed. The edge of a Malamar's tentacle pokes into the view as it spies on the trainer from around a corner, back to the camera, carefully holding a guitar in her hands even though it's probably a bit too big for her to properly use. She twists the tuning knobs with the utmost care, plucks a string, pauses to listen to the sound, and then returns to the knobs again. She's picking out sounds by ear, it seems, for after a few repetitions of this she slowly, carefully plucks out the beginning of a tune before her fingers slip, and she flinches at the incorrect chord.
The view shifts, and a Malamar takes up the screen. She clicks her beak twice, softly, before she begins to glow with the subtlety of Psychic powers.]
I would like to make a request for my trainer. She is too proud to ask...but she would like lessons in her instrument. The Father Squidmas brought it to her and it is important. [There's a pause as the Malamar looks to her trainer again.] She does everything for us. Helps us become stronger, listens to us, plays with us when she would rather be inside. And she has many troubles. I would like to help them become less heavy.
[With that, the Malamar lowers the 'gear, but doesn't turn it off, and goes out to meet Thida, making a trilling sound. The young girl looks up, and immediately smiles.] Hi, Maika. Whatcha doin'? [She blinks when the Pokemon hands over her Poke'gear, and takes it, noting that it is indeed on.] Y'makin' a movie? [There's a pause, and Thida giggles, presumably at her Pokemon's expression.] 'Kay, y're all done, then. [She turns to the 'gear herself and waves.] Hope y'liked her movie! Bye!

Good. Shall we give it a try now? I think it could be... fun.
[At least worth an afternoon.]
[Video]
Indeed. The best of luck to you.
[Video]
And that's about it as she sets the gear down and goes off for a few minutes or so. Since the gear is pointed at the ceiling, enjoy the sounds that sure seem to be happening somewhere close by.]
...Ah! Wha- okay! Okay! I'll do it, just give me a moment!
[The screen jumps as it's suddenly grabbed. Finally, it falls on an actual Human, obviously the trainer Bright was talking about, who looks quite confused.]
Hello?
[Video]
Hi? Uh...hi.
[Video]
[Where does one go from here.]
My, uh, Pokemon told me to ask you what you're up to. What... what are you doing?
[Video]
[That is the weirdest thing she's ever heard a Pokemon request of it's trainer.]
Why?
[Video]
[She's caught off guard by something offscreen, something she seems to have a conversation with.... without words.]
But... really? Why me? [She seems to... blush a little.] No... It's not that I...
[Video]
[Is she talking to a Pokemon? This must be what it's like when she and Maika are talking to each other in public.]
Somethin' wrong?
[Video]
I mean, if she says yet, would it- Huh? [finally, Rakka notices she's being called to.] No, everything's alright, I guess. It's just that... well...
[mmm] My Pokemon wants me to... sing with you?
[Video]
[She blinks.]
...Can't sing, though.
[In the background, Maika is pressing a tentacle to her forehead in exasperation.]
[Video]
[Glances offscreen. Likely at Bright who is leading her through this... slowly. She nods.]
Oh, I'm supposed to sing, while you play your instrument. Do you play guitar often?
[Video]
...Started playin'. Got m'Dad's. But...still learnin'.
[Video]
That's alright, you're learning so that's what matters, right? Oh, maybe if I sing with you, it could help you learn? Or it could at least be fun.
[She honestly has no idea how people learn guitar.]
[Video]
[Possibly this is how it works, the squid child has no clue.]
[Video]
[Bright's pestering can only go so far. She has to agree!!]
In any case, I would love to give it a try.
