Who: Newt!
Where: from Violet City to Goldenrod
When: Throughout the month of August
Summary: Four different video and text posts Newt puts on the network in the month of August as he travels to Goldenrod City, compiled into one log
Aug 1st
[The video feed begins abruptly- the screen is blurry, there's a finger in the shot, and the screen shakes as Newt tries to adjust the PokeGear in his hands. Finally, the screen focuses on a very annoyed Glameow, sitting primly on a pillow on the motel room's floor. Her whiskers twitch and her ears as back as she glares up at her trainer, unimpressed.]
Meeeoooooow.
Yeah?
Glaaaaaameo.
You don't say?
[The Glameow's tail lashes. She's frustrated now.]
Mrrrooowwww!
What's that? Huh? Are you trying to tell me something?
MEOWW!
Do you want.... food?
GLAAAAAAMEEEEOOOW.
[She stands up, yowling into the camera while Newt tries to keep himself from giggling.]
Is that what you want? Huh? Well, guess what?
[The camera pans quickly over to a completely full food bowl.]
You've got food! It's right there! Do you see it, Princess?
[Newt pans back towards the Glameow, who still looks unimpressed.]
Mrrrrrow.
What's that? You don't like that food because it's too cheap? You want only the most expensive food I can possibly find in the entire store?
Mrrr.
Ok, baby. [The camera jostles around as Newt puts aside the bowl of Pokemon food, places down an empty bowl, and fills it with an identical-looking[but presumably more expensive] type of Pokemon kibble. Within seconds, the Glameow rushes over and starts eating, chewing noisily. Newt turns the PokeGear's camera to face himself.]
So, like. When The Princess hatched a few days ago, she literally refused any food I tried to give her. Like, she'd eat a couple bites if she was really hungry, but otherwise? Nothing. So I was obviously really worried, and I started going through the aisles of Pokemon food and buying different bags of food and offering her some, and I finally found this really fancy brand- and this is the only thing she'll eat. And it costs me a few hundred PokeDollars more than everything else.
What the hell, man.
[On the bright side, he doesn't look angry- if anything, he's thrilled that she's finally eating.]

Aug 6th
[This video starts with an establishing shot of a nearby forest. It's kind of peaceful looking, actually.]
So. So. My... Gible? I think that's what it's called- he hatched yesterday, and he was pretty chilled out at first, but ever since this morning he's been getting into everything. Like, he tore some of my new shirts to threads, and he almost took my hand off this morning, and that's just, like, the tip of the iceberg. It's cool, I didn't expect that a baby landshark dragon would be an easy thing to care for, so I don't really mind too much. But I think I've already figured out the way to get him to expand his energy and not destroy me or my stuff. Look-
[Newt finally turns the camera to show a Trapinch and a Gible rough-housing together in the grass.]
Look at that! I was kinda worried to let either of these guys play with my other Pokemon, because I thought their teeth would probably hurt the hell out of the squishier ones, especially the other babies, but these two are like- made for each other! They've been playing for hours and it's so cute because they're putting all their might into it, like it's a fight that actually matters and they're not essentially just two toddlers playing in the sandbox.
[The Trapinch has its jaws locked around the Gible's head fin, but the Gible rolls over clumsily, knocking the Trapinch onto the ground. The Trapinch lands on its back and flails its limbs furiously, jaw snapping open and closed. The Gible makes an odd noise- almost like laughter?- that turns into spluttering as the Trapinch kicks up a Sand Attack.]
I could really watch this all day, let me tell ya. I know people've been telling me that, like, baby Pokemon grow up at an accellerated rate and stuff but they still are babies, you know? And-
[The Gible's mouth starts glowing orange, and Newt cuts off with a surprised noise. It takes him a second to realize what it is, and the video feed turns hectic and Newt stands up and runs over to the baby dragons, trying to stop the oncoming Flamethrower before it's too late.]
Hey, hey, no- Slattern, no, don't do it, don't-
[Aaaaand the video cuts out.]

[This video appears to take place in a hotel room. In view of the camera are most of Newt's Pokemon- a Spritzee and shiny Tranquill perched on the windowsill, a Trapinch "playing" with a Clamperl by trying to force the clamshell open, a wiggling Tynamo outspeeding the Gible chasing her around...]
So, Goldenrod City's been pretty cool! I've done some shopping. I finally got a new leather jacket like what I had back home- won't be able to wear it much until winter, but it's nice to have one again. And I've also been doing a bit of research.
Apparently a few of my Pokemon need items to evolve- Yamarashi I already knew about, but Raythe and Powder Puff, too. And I've been wondering if I should I go ahead and buy those items, now, so I'll have them when I'm ready for it. Or should I just use them now? ... I dunno. It sounds stupid, but I guess I feel like I haven't really earned the right to use them, just yet, since I've only been here for a month or so.
Do any of you guys have Pokemon that evolve with items? When did you decide it was finally time to use them?
