[Video/Action] New Bark Town - Introduction

[ducktailprim]

 [As the video feed switches on, there is a very timid and frightened girl on the screen. She's sitting on the bed in the house that she woke up in a day or so ago. After meeting up with a strange old man, being given a ball and this gear, she was lost, upset and ended up back at the very same house. A kind woman has taken her back in but it's quite clear that the woman was now hoping the young girl would soon set out on her journey. Like the others...

There was a skiddo on the bed next to her, her head resting on her lap and watching up at her with wide eyes. This skiddo has felt Prim's loneliness and pain. She feels it every time Prim runs her hand over her horns. And she didn't know how to make her trainer feel better. 

Prim's making this Gear post out because of the suggestion of the kind woman. If there was somebody she was desperately looking for, this would be the way.

There were tears brimming on her eyes as she tries to stare into the camera of her gear.]

Katniss...? They said that...if you were here, you would see this and contact me. I don't know where I am...and last time...

[Her voice catches for a moment and she tries to clear her throat.]

Last time I saw you...they were forcing you onto that train. And...I really want to see you again.

Please come take me home....

[There is a moment that the video hangs as she tries to figure out how to turn off the recording and just before the clip ends, you could faintly hear her begin to cry, with the skiddo making soft soothing sounds towards her]



[ooc: I promise Prim won't always be so sad. She just needs some love at the moment! She will desperately pick up any messages sent to her gear in the hopes that it's her sister. Or if anybody would like to coax her out into the world, please visit her in the random house in New Bark Town that she's hiding in!]

But when I run out of food, I don't know how to hunt for more.

[She's tried. Katniss took her hunting once and she tried to save the life of the animal that was shot with the bow and arrow.]

What do I do when I can't eat the berries?

[She'll have to try and remember to not eat those berries but if she got hungry then all bets were off.]

Guess what? You don't gotta.

Every town's got a building called a Pokemon Center. It's the big building with the bright red roof. You go there, you tell'em you're a young Trainer and you had a rough trip, and they'll take care of you.

And every time your Pokemon meets another Pokemon and they challenge each other, if your Pokemon wins, you get money. And you can buy all the food you want!

And if you need a place to stay, you just tell me. I got a house in Goldenrod, and I know all the good hotels.

[And there's just something about young girls that brings out the big brother in Jimmy.]

[ducktailprim]

[Her eyes widen at the idea of being fed no matter where she was going. This definitely was different from back home. It does make her feel a little more confident to leave but the idea of challenging pokemon...this wasn't the first time somebody has told her about it. Her voice is very soft when she speaks, hesitating about this plan.]

That means Lady needs to fight...doesn't it? And it means Lady could get hurt.

[She really doesn't like the idea of her pokemon getting into any kind of battle and was definitely dead set on stopping this no matter what.]

[anexcitableboy]

Well....kinda.

But it's not like fighting fighting. It's more like...like athletes, or boxers. They know what they're doing, it's what they like to do, they don't get bad hurt or anything.

I thought it sounded really cruel when I first heard about it. I tried to keep Omi from fighting, he's my starter. But he got mad at me! 'Cause I was trying to treat him like a pet or something, and he's not my pet. He's my friend. And he loves to battle. And now he's all grown up and battles all the time!
