Video/Action for Goldenrod
Salutations, everyone!
[A departure from her last few public broadcasts; Penny's actually looking cheerful again. She gives a little wave to the camera. A Joltik is perched on her shoulder, and the massive blue wall of an Empoleon keeps edging in an out of sight just behind her.]
Frost evolved today! He's grown up really fast, and he's gotten really strong. But, also a little camera shy, I think.
[A clawed flipper gives a quick wave of its own behind Penny before scooting out of shot entirely.]
Um, anyway, that's not the only thing I wanted to talk about. I'd actually meant to ask about this a lot sooner, but- things. Kept happening.
[She glances to the side for a just a second, looking a little melancholy, before looking back to the camera, smiling again.]
But it's something weird with the music. It started after I beat Jasmine, I guess? I didn't notice it until I fought Chuck, and I thought maybe it was just something with his gym, but then it kept happening in just regular fights with trainers and wild Pokémon? It- um, it'll be easier to just show you all, hang on-
[The camera turns from Penny, showing the grassy patches at the edge of Route 34. It might take a minute or so, but a Buizel decides to show itself by leaping out of the grass with a Quick Attack.]
Jolty! Sticky Web!
[The Joltik leaps off Penny's shoulder, past the camera, the battle beginning in earnest. Pretty typical, except for the shift in the ever-present background music. That's not the normal battle music.]
[The battle's over pretty quickly, and the music fades back into the normal traveling music that usually pervades the routes. The camera turns back to Penny, her free hand idly holding a small treat for Jolty to nibble at from her shoulder.]
It's been doing that for every battle I've had lately. Has anyone else had anything like this happen? It's kind of weird even for Johto.

... Now that you mention it, it does sound different from the other music I've heard.
video;
Mention of music to one permanently headphoned was always gonna catch his attention. He listens quietly when the music changes, head bobbing slightly once the beat picks up. ]
I haven't. But I think I like that song more.

[Cecil has been hating his for over five years. Five years.]

I think after you get... I dunno, prolific enough with your battling, you kinda get... your own theme music? Sort of.
I think it's just a quirk of this place.
