Action

[It had been a long road. 10 days of travel. She'd nearly run out of packaged food, but had yet to resort to eating berries, when finally the small girl made it, staggering into Violet City and flopping on the road.]

Cicada-chan... We're here! The city! [Her nincada, which has left her usual place on Yotsuba's shoulders to poke her in the face and make sure she's ok, buzzes excitedly. This is her first big city in a while, after all. Prompted by the poking, Yotsuba pushes herself to her feet again.]

We should find the pokemon center! You guys need to rest up! [So she runs off, looking for the tell-tale red roof, chased by a madly buzzing nincada.]

Video

[The feed opens in the familiar interior of a pokemon center. Yotsuba is grinning away, per usual. She's still a bit dingy from her travels.]

Yotsuba caught a lot of new pokemon on the way to the city!

[She starts to do an inventory of them, then frowns.]

Where did they go? Yotsuba only has six pokemon, but there should be more!

[The PC is right behind her. Someone teach her how to use it?]

[cardboard_boss]

[As soon as she reaches the Pokémon Centre a Mightyena will be trotting up to her aiming to lick her face. Yep, DD has gotten bigger and behind him is a tall, old grizzled soldier smiling to himself.]

Easy, boy. That's enough.

[Snake pats DD's head and manages to pull his dog away from the poor girl. Slobber face? Sorry, Yotsuba.]

[4leafhair]

[She doesn't seem to mind slobber face, and laughs loudly once DD is clear.]

Heheh! DD is a good dog! But he got biiiig.

[She reaches forward to pet the mightyana even as her own nincada shakes herself off. She doesn't so much enjoy the slobber, but she constantly rides Yotsuba's shoulders so she's stuck with it.]

[cardboard_boss]

Yeah, he's pretty big now.

[Snake likes that DD got bigger since he's more of a war dog now? Even though that's not what the dog was given to him for, as there was no war within this world.]

He likes you.

[4leafhair]

[But DD will have to fight, so it's useful for him to be stronger.]

Yotsuba likes DD too! And Snake! You're both nice.

[She nods, and Cicada-chan buzzes her assent.]

Cicada-chan too!

[cardboard_boss]

[Nice? He's never been called that before. Still, it does feel good to be liked and not named as a warlord all the time.]

Found any giant berries lately?

[4leafhair]

Yotsuba found an oran berry that had two on one stem! ... But Ratty ate it.

[Her rattata eats EVERYTHING HE CAN FIT IN HIS MOUTH. He's getting tubby.]

What have you been up to? Grown-up things?

[cardboard_boss]

Your Ratty? A Ratatta, right?

[It was just an educated guess.]

Not so much grown-up things. Just travelling and catching more Pokémon. Ran out of space so most have gone into my PC Inbox.

[4leafhair]

Yep! [Good guess.]

Daddy has a PC back home, but Yotsuba is not allowed to touch it. Is it ok here?

[cardboard_boss]

Why can't you touch it?

[Then he remembered that she was five years old back home. Of course she wouldn't be allowed to touch it.]

Sorry. Forgot your age. You can use the ones here though.

[4leafhair]

That makes sense, since Yotsuba can have a phone here, too!

[She means the pokegear, but since it looks like a flip phone...]

Being 10 is great!

[cardboard_boss]

[A kid with a phone? Whatever next.]

The PokeGear is useful for making calls and looking stuff up. You need any help using it?

[Since she was technically five.]

[4leafhair]

Yotsuba can figure it out!

[She managed to make her first call on it, after all, even if she's been relatively radio silent ever since.]

Did it before...

[She tries a button. A display of her meager pokedex entires pops up.]

... I dunno!

[cardboard_boss]

I don't doubt you can.

[She seemed an intelligent kid for ten- five. Whatever she was.]

Think you might need some help. What are you trying to do?

[Snake moved in to assist her.]

[4leafhair]

Yotsuba wants to see what other people are saying on their phones!

[Basically: To access the pokegear's main channels. She holds her 'gear up to Snake.]

Can you help me do it?

[cardboard_boss]

You want me to help you use your Gear? Sure.

[Hey, he was up for that! Anything to help the kid out.]

What do you want to do?

[4leafhair]

Yotsuba wants to listen to other people's messages.

[Access the main network, basically.]

[cardboard_boss]

Right ok. Here.

[Snake showed her how to access the communication screen and which button to press to speak. He did it slowly so she could comprehend what he was doing.]

That's the talk button, ok? Want to give it a try. Press my name and speak to me. [Snake went to hide behind the nearest tree, so she could use it without him being right up close.]
