Video

[The camera feed begins pointed at the ceiling. There’s a voice muttering to one side, the occasional flash of color, then a peering eye. This is followed by a startled yelp and a LOT of color as the PokeGear is flung around. Thankfully that only lasts a heartbeat before it’s caught and finally focuses on a young man with shaggy pink hair; those who would recognize the ferry from Johto to Kanto will notice it as his location. He inspects the screen, then sits back in triumph.]

Ha! I got it working!

[From somewhere off-screen behind him comes a distressed whine, “Ohh, just turn it off Gobo, it’s bad news!” This gets nothing more than an annoyed eyeroll.]

It’s fine, Boober. [Brief glare to one side, then he’s back.] Um. Hi! I guess. This is probably working… Sorry, this kinda- stuff is pretty new to me.

[“It’s new and strange and bad...” comes the worried voice again. Now another young man, this one with a hat pulled so low over his face it’s a wonder he can even see, is pacing agitatedly in the background. Gobo is none too enthused about this.]

So, my name's Gobo Fraggle and this- [A wave behind him] -is my friend Boober. And I’ve been seeing, uh, others? Use this thing to ask questions and I wanted to ask-

[Gobo is briefly interrupted by Boober’s complaining again, about oh how this ship was going to sink and they were all going to die and showing up in a weird world like this was a bad omen and-]

…does anyone have any headache remedies? Normally the Fraggle I ask about this kinda thing- [And another glare Boober’s way, who’s so busy with his moaning he doesn’t even notice] -is too busy with other problems. -Boober would ya sit down, eh? You’re gonna make me seasick.

[Well THAT was the wrong thing to say. Because now Boober is on and on and ON about how they’re going to catch a cold, about all the strange germs and diseases that’re up here, how the ferry was a bad idea and so much water was a bad idea and-

Gobo just groans, sinks his head into his arms and dispiritedly shuts off the feed.]

[ She nods a little. ] Well...y-yes. I'm um...I mean, none of my friends from home are here.

B-But I'm...not entirely alone either! My Pokemon have been such a huge help, and I've been getting to know other people here.

[ Slowly. But it's still something, at least. And even though it is hard to think positively, making a lot of new animals friends certainly does help. ]

Oh, that's too bad. But I guess making friends might help, right? Especially the Pokemon; there's something about them that's-- I don't know how to explain it.

I guess it's the way they have such amazing powers and can obviously be okay without trainers, yet they don't leave-- They protect us, but they also want to stick around and be taken care of, it's...

I like feeling safe but also feeling needed.

Oh yes, I know what you mean. How they're so strong, and can take care of themselves. But they're also sweet, and some enjoy getting to be with people, taking care of and being taken care of.

I think that's a good way of putting it. [ Safe, but still needed. ]
