( first junkpile ) video/action for new bark town

[zoomied]

[ In terms of what Janey's used to, this is the weirdest place she's ever ended up in. There are no skags or bullymongs to rip her face off; instead, there's this... little... thing. With fire on its back. Janey isn't sure how to approach it, because it is on fire, but the poor thing seems so dour that... it softens her heart a little. A lot. Ugh, it's cute, okay? ]

Guess you're not too bad, little guy. [ Aw, look at the way its face lights up! ... She guesses? It's hard to tell.

Janey turns her attention to the 'gear provided to her, and she turns it on. ]

Eh, it's not as advanced as the stuff I'm used to... [ She'll make due, though. ] Heya, everyone! Janey Springs here, junker extraordinaire and ultra talented children's book writer. If you need anything all fixed up or whatnot, or even a nice story to tell your little friends, I'm your gal! Just hit me up over these devices and we'll talk prices, yeah?

Great to be here! Would be better if Athena were here...

[THE BEGINNING OF A BEAUTIFUL PARTNERSHIP]

I very well might be. What sort of stories are we discussing?

[Granted, he'll illustrate pretty much anything if it strikes his fancy, but the fact that it's specifically children's books means it's very likely to be right up his alley.

Please say he gets to draw dragons he is all about dragons. Or dinosaurs. Or aliens. You get the idea.]

[zoomied]

Normal stories! Action, adventure, maybe a little bit of cute puppy love... but featurin' Pokemon!

[meteorman]

That is exactly what I was hoping you would say.

[And this means he gets to draw dragons and dinosaurs and aliens, because there are Pokemon resembling all three.]

Were you familiar with them before your arrival or are you simply very gung-ho?

[zoomied]

Never seen anything like this guys before, actually! But they're perfect to write about, huh? Lots of opportunities.

[meteorman]

Oh, certainly. I've been reading through the Pokedex and the sheer variety is staggering. There's more than enough to work with.

[zoomied]

You'll have to point out some really good entries.

[ And by really good she means utterly horrifying. ]

[meteorman]

Well! Take my own partner, for instance. Elgyem is a non-native species of Pokemon that was discovered at the site of a supposed UFO crash.

[Eleanor, out of her ball like usual, pokes her head into the frame of the video when she notices she's being talked about.]

They are, in essence, an alien creature that has assimilated and flourished in an unfamiliar world. And that's to say nothing of all the man-made Pokemon that only began to appear once human interference in the environment created a niche for them. Did you know Trubbish has developed a body that can effectively camouflage it as a trash bag?

[Please stop him, or he'll never shut up.]
