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?]

[She nods, a serious expression on her face.]

That's no good! They should try to be friends! Be friends, you two!

[Somehow their master they ignore, but a little girl pouting? THAT makes the two ashamed, looking down and fiddling with their feathers/leaves.]

Heh heh. I think they will try hard not to disappoint you! I thank you!

[4leafhair]

No worries!

[Yotsuba learned that one from her dad.]

They look like good pokemon! Are they strong?

[mon_dieu]

I have only captured zem recently... But! Zey are MY Pokemon, so of course zey must be strong!

[4leafhair]

Wow! You must be a good trainer.

[See that smile? That's faith, that is.]

What moves do they know?

[mon_dieu]

[Ego +10! He and his Pokemon puff our their 'chests'.]

Jetstream ze Natu! His powers eenclude Teleport, Nightshade, and Ominous Wind!

Chipper ze Bellsprout! He has the ability to use vines, put ze enemy to sleep, or make zem poisoned!

And I am zeir noble leader, Antoine D'Coolette!

[4leafhair]

[Yotsuba puffs out her own (skinny) chest, and nods back.]

I'm Yotsuba, and this is Cicada-chan!

[She pulls a large nincada who was asleep on her backpack out to display. Said nincada looks around groggily.]

She's really good at scratching and being tough, and knows leech life! I have lots more pokemon, but she was with me when I started out.

[mon_dieu]

Eet ees a pleasure to meet you both. I'm sure you'll both grow up very strong!

[4leafhair]

[That smile? If it were any bigger, it'd be off her face.]

Yotsuba hopes so! We fight a lot of wild pokemon, so maybe we will be!

[mon_dieu]

[Aren't you cute. You earn a little hair ruffle - though him leaning over makes natu and bellsprout fall off.]

Just remember to be careful!

[4leafhair]

[The hair ruffle slightly confuses Yotsuba but she's grinning all the same.]

We will! Thank you! You too, ok?

[mon_dieu]

But of course! I am ze most safe, careful person you will ever meet!

[His two Pokemon on the ground are disagreeing.]

[4leafhair]

[Pokemon, your opinions have been noted.]

Ok! I'll call you Mr. Safety then! [It sounds like a character from a series of adverts on safe road practices.]

[mon_dieu]

Safety D'Coolette, hm? I suppose I could live with zat!

[But only cause you're such a polite little girl.]

[4leafhair]

[She's a very eager little girl, at that.]

Safety, where are you from?

[Because you talk funny.]

Oh! Yotsuba forgot! Yotsuba Koiwai, at your service!

[She extends a hand to shake.]

[mon_dieu]

[Which he'll take and shake.]

My home ees called Knothole. But before zat, I lived een a little country called Mercia.

[4leafhair]

Knothole! Is that to the left or the right?

[Someone's bad at geography.]

[mon_dieu]

Er... eet ees very, very, VERY far away right now.

[4leafhair]

Oh... I guess that's true. Yotsuba's home is very far away too.

[Since other world and all.]

[mon_dieu]

... B-But I am sure we will return home very soon!

[4leafhair]

Mmhmm! And then Yotsuba will see daddy again!

[She's... basically accepted that he's not here. She's getting on ok anyway, but it's a little bit lonely.]

[mon_dieu]

... Y-Yotsuba, are you here by yourself?

[how many abandoned children are here?!]

[4leafhair]

Nope! You're here too!

[Clearly the peak of logic.]

But I think Yotsuba is the only one from home...

[mon_dieu]

And have you been traveling alone...?

[4leafhair]

Yep! Except when Yotsuba runs into Mr. Snake or Mller-oji-san or someone else!

[She puffs out her own chest, skinny though it may be. All of her is skinny; she's got the pipe-cleaner build typical of the barely prepubescent.]

I get to camp every night, and I almost never get lost!
