[Video, Goldenrod City]
[The Goldenrod Christmas Market is open but once a year, and Heather usually enjoys it.]
[But her expression as she trudges between the stalls with the PokeGear pointed at herself is not full of Christmas cheer]
This is... hour three.
Stall number... uh, seven.
Five hours of sleep. Got here at six.
[And if you don't believe her, there are deep shadows under her eyes. Well, more than usual anyway.]
And folks, I have still not found what I'm looking for.
[There's a jump cut, and now she's talking to some portly fellow with a stall full of oddities, from tropical Sevii berries to weird stone idols. There's probably a Pokemon holding the 'Gear this time, because the PoV is from roughly Heather's waist.]
Really?
Yes'm, the last one just got snapped up maybe ten minutes ago.
You're kidding.
No ma'am, seems like they're just in vogue this year. Ever since that Cara Liss lady came onto the scene, everybody and their grandma wants fossils.
Jeez, and just last year these things were everywhere...
Sorry 'bout that, might be getting some more but not for a couple weeks... can I interest you in a Helix Fossil instead? Those got popular a few years back but after the hype wore off there's plenty to go around.
Thanks for the offer, but no... I'll keep searchin' around.
[Another jump cut, and now Heather is just sitting there on the cold gray sidewalk, looking defeated.]
[She stares up at the sky. DESPAIRINGLY. And whispers;]
I just wanted to make an elaborate Jurassic Park joke on Christmas morning.
