Look, isn't he cute?

[The speaker is off-screen, leaving the viewer an unobstructed view of the 'he" in question: a Woobat, a tuft of hair tied up on the top of its head with a Bellsprout-themed ribbon.

Manaka is in Violet City, and she'll be damned if she doesn't use her time outside Goldenrod to buy cutesy touristy accessories and put them on her Pokémon.

Despite Manaka's bubbly enthusiasm, the Woobat seems flustered by the attention, tucking its head down and covering its face with its wings. Manaka giggles, and then the view spins. When it comes to a stop again, Manaka is beside her Pokémon, affectionately bumping her cheek against its.]

If I haven't spoken to you before, my name is Manaka! I still haven't been here for very long, I don't think, so I wanted to ask everyone something: Out of all the Pokémon you personally have, which one do you think is your cutest? And if you have any fun pictures or stories about them, you should definitely share those, too!

Oh, hey! Look at him! He is pretty cute, but he's no match for Amelia. She's the prettiest princess!

[In which Hanna shifts his camera to give a clean shot of his Noibat, a bright red ribbon tied as nicely as a twenty-four year old fashion-awkward man can around her cute, large ears.] Though I guess Tyra Banks is pretty cute too...maybe I should get her a bow too...

[beastofasister]

Ah, she's adorable! [Manaka absolutely beams, her hands clapping together.] Where did you find her? I want one, too!

[thelittlegingerthatcould]

Ah, sorry! She was my little princess from the very beginning. I havent seen any yet but im still bumming in cherrygrove. If i hear where you can find them I'll definitely let you know though!

[Amelia seems to apppreciate the attention and chirps happily, smiling back at the camera. She isnt shy.]

[For a second, Manaka's expression falls into a disappointed pout. But then she's back to being all smiles, waving off the bad news with the shrug of her shoulder. Oh well~. It isn't as though finding another person attached to their starter comes as a surprise.]

Well, she's definitely as cute as a princess! Especially with that little bow. [Manaka focuses on Amelia as she speaks, wiggling her fingers in a proper wave.] What about Tyra, then?

[thelittlegingerthatcould]

She doesn't need the bow, but I think it does bring out some light in her eyes. [Maybe. Probably not, but she wanted it when they went to the festival and he couldn't say no to her.] I'm thinking I might have to change her name to Princess Amelia Earheart, but I dunno. Maybe the Princess is implied without it being in her name.

[Amelia ruffles her wings and settles on Hanna's shoulder, not bothered when Hanna shifts and reaches for Tyra's pokeball from his belt.] Tyra Banks is an experience. Are you ready for her?

[beastofasister]

[Of course, describing her like that only makes Manaka more curious. Her eyes widen, and reflexively, she leans a little closer to the screen.]

Mm-hm! [Her hair bounces as she nods.] I want to see her!

[thelittlegingerthatcould]

[Hanna grins, releasing the pokemon from her ball, the light bright on the screen before Hanna turns the camera and shows off the blue Tyrunt, the little thing shaking it's head and stretching as it happily bounces back and forth on it's feet after being released.

Her big, toothy smile is beaming up at the camera.] Tada!

[beastofasister]

[If possible, Manaka's eyes go even wider, her head tilting as she watches Tyra prance and grin for the camera. After a few seconds of taking in the sight in front of her, though, she beams again, declaring:]

Mm, she definitely needs her own bow! I bet it would make her feel really pretty!
