Video 1: Oh God WHY CALI!?

[calisugarfiend]

The video rolls as though it were a nature documentary on some weirdo in a brightly colored outfit with hair to match and a plague doctor mask of all things. In her gloved hand is an Applin who isn't too pleased with this arrangement, he clearly would be much happier in a pokeball. Oh yes, the smell of a newbie that is doing uncomfortably well in this new environment. Like the happy-floppy phase of rabies, Cali goes up close to the camera for an uncomfortable close up with her new found Pokemon, Sweet Sixteen.

"Oh Hi! Hello! Is this a Pokemon I found?!" Good grief, her speech is too fast and high pitched, Sweet Sixteen not too keen on having his ear drums ruptured.

"Wow. Those must be really interesting. We've yet to do deep space travel or long-term underwater research. Have you had the chance to visit one of those places?" Jotaro asks.

"That's fair. I'm in no rush to get older so I'll be happy just asking you to tell me, old man." Orquesta laughs.

"The aquatic life in Europa is really awesome, I have an illustrated book back home on them. I wished I had, but I think the closest I'd get would be the volunteer run to Orion 40, that one is mostly water with a few scattered islands. It was pretty cool as the lava from the volcanoes are blue, though t hey produce a pretty lethal gas if you're not masked up properly." Cali explained happily, following Jotaro along the route, thrilled to not be bombarded with conspiracy theories involving Europa.

"Trust me, it'll go by pretty fast, you enjoy it while you can kid." Sweet Sixteen wondered if he was ever that like that when he was young.

"... I hope if you ever recover that book in this world, you'll show it to me," Jotaro says, doing a miraculous job of seeming calm and not totally excited about a book about undocumented aquatic species. He listens and nods along to Cali. "I haven't heard of Orion 40. Which one is that?"

"Believe me, I will. But have you enjoyed your life? Have you ever gone flying? You haven't enjoyed life until you've flown," the Pidgeot says with a mischievous grin.

"I would be more than happy to show you, it's such a great book on the aquatic life there and the illustration work is gorgeous." Cali cheered a bit at being able to share something in the future if the book is recovered at some point.

It takes Cali a bit before starting up on the question, "Oh, Orion 40 is one of the exile planet colonies, there's like seven existing colonies including Orion 34 where I lived on."

"I'd rather not, I get air sick rather easily." Sweet Sixteen admitted, he has a delicate little tummy that didn't like flight.

[phdepression]

"Ah, I see. Is it in a different galaxy to Earth?" Must not be a planet or moon he's familiar with then.

"Awww... shame. Well, I'm not going to hang around. I'm going to start flying ahead, see how much further it is to Cherrygrove City."

[calisugarfiend]

"It is, they're a chain of planets in a different solar system than Earth's. Though, I haven't seen the Orions' sun before due to the thick cloud coverings." Cali explained in that happy and casual fashion, this was completely normal to her.

Sweet Sixteen could only watch as Orquesta flies off to see if they're any closer to Cherrygrove City. This day has already been a long enough one for the old salty apple dragon.

Shall we start wrapping up?

[phdepression]

"Ah... I see. That's very interesting." Jotaro means that genuinely too.

The bird is barely gone for ten minutes before it comes back. Honestly, they're not too far! If they keep their current pace, they'll be there soon enough!

I think this is a perfect place to start wrapping up, especially with the Dino event going on X3

"They truly are, though Orion 23 is horrifying." Cali added before perking up at how close they're getting to reaching Cherrygrove city.

Sweet Sixteen is looking very ready for this to be done with this day and plans on making his Pokeball disappear afterwards, it was too dangerous to be in the ball with this ball of energy around.

Sounds good!

[phdepression]

"Well, enjoy being here then. The Pokemon world is many things but it definitely is not horrifying."

And at last they breach the treeline and reach Cherrygrove City, a small, peaceful town, barely bigger than New Bark Town.

"You should be fine from here, kiddo. Try to stay on the path from now on, alright?"

Awesome :'D Also here we go, I'm now good on my end :')

[calisugarfiend]

"I think I'll love being here in the Pokemon world, so far, everything has been amazing." Cali said in a cheery fashion even after nearly being trapped on a tree.

The sight of Cherrygrove City was an exciting one to Cali as she looked up to Jotaro, grateful that he helped her out there.

"Thank you Jojo! I'll make sure I get to Cherrygrove safely." Cali said as she started to head on out, but not before she waves goodbye to Jotaro. This certainly has been an interesting start to Cali's Pokemon journey.
