video; At Goldenrod

[zukeini]

[The network gets a StaryuTube link. The feed opens with Zuke walking down the streets of Goldenrod City, there was a small riff in the backdrop of a rock song. Zuke is joined at the hip by his Rillaboom, Gardevior, and his shiny Toxitricity. Heading toward a telephone pole, he slaps on a flyer and staples it. You had a look from behind his hair, but then he turned around.

Now the flyer could be visible. It read:]

Water Pokémon Conservatory of Cerulean City presents: The Summer Charity Fair!

Come join us for a whole day at the Cerulean Water Park on July 27th! There will be games, food, and plenty of local venders!

Then enjoy the water park!

Special musical guest: Backroad Jam! Join at 7PM for a live performance!

All proceeds go to the Water Pokémon Conservatory of Cerulean City to protect the coral reefs and beaches!

[With a soft smile and a wink, Zuke and his crew of Pokémon all cram into the shot.]

Hope to see you all there, yeah? Looking forward to it.

[His smile turned to a grin as his team pumped their fists in the air and all gave a battle cry! ROCK OUT!]

Comments

[zukeini]

Nah, it was the plan.

[A reassuring smile.]

You've seen vlogs on the network and Staryutube, right? It's a big thing. Kind of like a video diary. This is really huge for us so it'll be almost like preserving the memory.

[nastyboy]

Vlogs... Ah, so that is the proper name for them. Snippets of another person's life...

[Sometimes, it almost feels too intimate, being allowed that peek into a person's life. And yet, at the same time... Maybe it makes them feel closer, as well. If they were all just strangers, Dimitri supposes he would feel at odds about the idea.]

[But here, they are all connected by being those from other places far away from Johto and Kanto, and, well, maybe that makes a difference for him.]

Then... I will be glad to view those kind of videos, if you do not mind.

[zukeini]

Heck no, I wouldn't. They're on my channels for a reason. Both Staryutube and JoltikTok.

[He made a pause, and his voice grew soft. This was all happening and...what he wanted to do was...

He was committed.]

So I'll...see you there on the flip side.

[nastyboy]

[Joltiktok.... Shoot, there are too many sites around, Dimitri doesn't know how to deal with them all. Well, it's fine, he will ask Gremlin.]

[For now, he smiles back. That soft tone... this concert must mean a lot to Zuke.]

Of course. I will see you as well. And, in the meantime, I will make sure to comment and like every one of your videos.
