[HhhhheeeeeeEEEYYYYY WORLD OF POKEMON.

IT'S HER. YA DEATHMOM BOTAN.

For once, though, she's not in her shop--wow, she actually gets out once in a while?--Botan appears to have situated herself in Goldenrod's park to let her Phantump kids float around and play. Not just her Phantump, of course, her Mimikyu is sat right next to her on the bench. Emiko, as usual, is very proud of herself for how she put her disguise together--not only is there a cute red bow attached to the ear, she managed to sew heart shapes onto the cheeks this time!]

Well, look at this, another Valentine's Day is coming upon us! As usual, of course I'll offer my services of making sweets should anyone need it, just put in the order, stop by the shop, whatever's most convenient. I know it's probably overwhelming, especially if it's the first time for a lot of you.

[What she's not saying, of course, is that it's her first time actually having someone on this day, too.]

Anybody that's just gotten here and is thinking "why should I be thinking about Valentines at a time like this?" you probably shouldn't, but not to worry! Help is always around the corner--unless it's a Cofagrigus, then that's probably trouble as opposed to help.

[Floating around in the vast network, there's a new message. The person who wrote it seems to already be catching onto how the Pokegear is supposed to be used, although he doesn't seem to have figured out the intrincacies of actually communicating with people. His message is a request, written in all caps and sounds urgent, even if it actually isn't:]

IF ANY OF YOU KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF A BUG THEN SEND TIPS

[Also no 'please' or 'thank you'. Smooth, Britt.

A few hours later, he's sending a video. He seems to be sitting to the side of a route close to New Bark, throwing leaves at a spot on the ground, like he was trying to cover something. Some of the leaves part, revealing a small Weedle. The Weedle seems rather pleased, actually! Leaves! A whole lot of them, and more coming! The trainer seems to know just what it likes!

That Pokemon will be a tad disappointed once he figures out Britt had a lucky strike by doing this, but what he doesn't know won't hurt him, hm?

Britt turns the Pokegear around, unwittingly filming himself backwards]

So I have been checking around and I saw all those animals people have. I'm gonna have a few words with whoever decided to give me a small worm.

[He's a bit starstruck by everything, because it seems so...fantastical! Kind of amazing! Even if Britt is already a grown adult and all, he's already imagining some flights of fancy. And then reality came crashing on him when he realized he had a Weedle. Britt looks around, as if he expected someone nearby to give him the answer, before focusing back onto the Pokegear]

Is it because I'm a beginner at this or whatever?
