001 || action, video

[ACTION for Route 1, Oct 9-11]
[Fishing sounded great when he first thought of it, but now that he's finally sitting down to the task, it's. It's pretty boring. Noel is fiddling with his device, the fishing pole stuck into the dirt next to him, lure peacefully bobbing along. Behind him, a Poochyena is rolling around, occasionally yipping, growling, and running from one part of the clearing to another.]

If you don't pipe down, you'll scare all the fish away.

[Poochyena huffs, but calms down a little bit, finding a pile of leaves to rustle around in. Surprisingly, a few minutes later, the line begins to bob up and down. Noel puts the video down, tugs at the line, struggling a bit, and finally.........pulls a magikarp, flopping all over the place, from the water. He stares at it. It stares at him. He looks at Poochyena. Poochyena looks at the magikarp. There's an awkward, silent moment.]

... Maybe just vegetables for dinner, then.

[Slightly...disturbed to find his Potential Dinner staring at him in such distress, he throws the magikarp back.]

[VIDEO: Oct. 12]
[The feed turns on, capturing one of the tree-lined streets of Viridian City. The video pans slowly, capturing more greenery as it records the street. People, buildings, pokemon. It's peaceful. There's a click, followed by another one as the camera pans around to show Noel. Poochyena is sleeping on his back in the background, happily snoring away.]

Alright. I've been here a few days, so I sort of get the picture. Sounds like a lot of other people out there woke up in the same situation as me.

[Hope has answered plenty of his questions, but naturally, he doesn't have all the answers -- not when some of the questions are so totally meta. Noel frowns, looking around thoughtfully at the trees.]

... This is all real, right? I'm not sure I could dream this up if I tried.

[Poochyena stirs, rolling over and yawning. Noel looks at him, expression going from wistful to a little hopeless. Maybe even worried.]

I don't get it. Who exactly picked me for this place? I've never been good with pets.

Pretty much. I'm glad though, because no one back home will be worried about me.

I know, right? But after you're here for awhile, you start to see the nature of things. The Pokemon world is really harmonious.

Just family and friends. I'm sure almost everyone feels the same way.

The people here really do depend on Pokemon! Sometimes I wonder who's the real Trainer in some teams. They're so protective of us, and do so many things we can't... Maybe they pity us a little, for being plain ol' humans.

We must seem like wimps! [Kazuki laughs.] But I'm glad most of them are so friendly. Their world is so fascinating! And I've become such good friends with my team.

I'm sure you'll find they're much more than just pets.
