[Track 1]: Route 29 || video

[colorpalatable]

--Oh, hey, it records!

[There's a pale, black-haired young woman on the network today, inspecting her new 'Gear. She has a little Noibat chilling in her mass of hair like an adorable bat-shaped barrette. She studies the Pokegear seriously for a moment or two before noticing something else:]

Oh snap, and it broadcasts! Sweet!

Hey! Barkeep guy! You were right, that Mom lady was really weird! She gave me a lot of snacks, though, so that's cool.

But, uh, I kind of. Already ate them all? Look, I got carried away, okay? Does anyone know if there's anything else to eat on, what is it, Route 29? Besides the berries, I mean. My girl here - [she gestures to her new Noibat pal] - really digs them buuuuuut I still think they seem kinda suspect. For me to eat, that is. Thanks, peeps!

[Marceline: Out!]

Or just carry toilet paper! It's really soft and some of them are colored! I keep a bunch in my backpack and you can use them as napkins too.

What's your name? I'm Sasha.

[colorpalatable]

Guess I'll have to pick some up when I get to Cherrygrove.

'Sup, Sasha, I'm Marceline. Nice to meet you!

[lordofthefries]

Or just take some from the Mom lady's bathroom. It's free!

[Sasha... have you been stealing TP?]

Mar-cel-line. That's a pretty name.

[colorpalatable]

Oh, yeah? I'd be down for a good TP heist. Maybe I'll get on that if I do wind up backtracking.

Thanks! You can call me Marcy, too, if that's easier to remember.

[lordofthefries]

Good idea! But if you need anything else, just let me know. I've been here for a very long time and can just use the teleporters to get around instead of a Pokemon. It's way faster!

[colorpalatable]

This place has teleporters? No one mentioned that before! Why the heck am I walking?

[lordofthefries]

Well, you have to walk to them first and then you can use them. I don't know how those things know if you've been there or not, but they do. Also if you take too many of them at once they make your stomach feel funny.

But you can ride Pokemon! If you find a Ponyta or a Mudsdale, you can ride them like horses and mules and go faster.

[colorpalatable]

....Weird. Okay. That doesn't make much sense, but sure.

[It's not Sasha she's doubting, it's the weird teleporter mechanic. But, oh, well.]

Oh, yeah! I met a guy last weekend who had a whole herd of fire unicorns! Is that what you're talking about?

[lordofthefries]

That's a Ponyta! Yeah! Also there's Blitzle but it's made of the electricity thing.

[Blitzle is also a zebra, but Sasha has no idea what a zebra is to begin with.]

[colorpalatable]

Oooooh, that sounds really good, too. I'll definitely check all of these guys out!

Oh! Do you have any of them?

[lordofthefries]

I have a Blitzle. Hold on, please.

[Ever so polite, this one. Sasha tosses out a ball and out pops a zebra-like creature.]

This is Oreo. Say hello, Oreo.

[Yes, ike the cookie, but unlike the cookie, at least the Blitzle cries his name like a greeting.]

[colorpalatable]

Oh my gosh he's cute! Hi, Oreo!

[Marceline gives the Blitzle a little wave over the camera.]

He looks like a zebra!

[lordofthefries]

[Seeing the other trainer waving at him, Oreo lifts one of his front hooves a couple times in a mimicking motion.

Meanwhile, Sasha is looking confused as ever.]

What's a zebra?

[colorpalatable]

Uhhh....well, basically that guy, only less electric. Like, one hundred percent less electric.

[lordofthefries]

Oh. What is he then? Water?

[Assuming these zebra things are just as weird as Pokemon.]

[colorpalatable]

No, just like. Normal? Non-elemental.
