First fight! Video from New Bark

[angelicmiracle]

[With a click the video feed starts showing a confused girl with what looks to be a cotton ball on her head. She flips it over in her hands a few times before pressing a button. The feed cuts out for a few moments only to come back.]
 
Ah! This is a really interesting machine don’t you think Aoko?
 
[The cotton ball chirps as Misaki looks down at her gear. It seems she hasn’t realized that it’s broadcasting yet.]

[Have a kindly looking man smiling at you through the 'gear.]

Welcome to Johto, kiddo.

[Have a yelp. Misaki isn't sure where the voice came from off the bat. Then she looks at the screen.]

Johto?

[Video]

[pianokeys]

[The yelp takes him by surprise and his smile drops a little, but he recovers pretty quickly.]

Yep. The wor~ld of Pokémon.

Y'know, usually I'd know your name... [It's said playfully, not really as any sort of serious statement.]

[Video]

[angelicmiracle.livejournal.com]

Pokémon...?

[Have a quick bow that shakes the feed.]

I'm sorry! My name is Misaki Suzuhara!

[Video]

[pianokeys]

Well~, I'm glad I finally gOt to meet you, Misaki.

[She blinks obviously confused.]

Finally? Were we supposed to meet?

I wouldn't be a good Other Father if I didn't wait to see my beautiful little daughter. [His gaze barely moves from the screen. From you. Even though he's had them a little while, this whole song and dance makes him feel like he's got his buttons again. At least it isn't half as creepy now.]

[Now she's really confused.]

Other Father? Daughter?

[Now she's wondering if he's like the woman who said she was her mother.]

[Video]

[pianokeys]

Everyone has Other Parents, Misaki. It's a shame your Other Mother can't be with us.

Just so you know, you're recording.

[Blonde's done it before. Her friends have done it before. It's generally good manners to warn the newcomer she's doing it, too.]

[Video I'm guessing?]

[angelicmiracle.livejournal.com]

[Blinks and looks down.]

Oh!

[yes! video. that.]

[phoenix-temple.livejournal.com]

[Fuu waves.]

It's fairly common. It can be difficult to work the Gear properly.

[Video]

[angelicmiracle.livejournal.com]

[Misaki waves back careful not to drop the Gear.]

Is that what this is called?

[Video]

[phoenix-temple.livejournal.com]

Yes, the Pokegear. It will be vital to your stay in Johto. Welcome.

[Video]

[angelicmiracle.livejournal.com]

Pokegear. That's a weird name.

[Then she smiles.]

Thank you! I'm Misaki. What's your name?

[Video]

[phoenix-temple.livejournal.com]

You'll find most things have a prefix of "poke" here.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Misaki-san. My name is Fuu Hououji.

[Video]

[angelicmiracle.livejournal.com]

"Poke"? What does it mean?

[Fuu seems familiar but she can't place it right now.]

It's very nice to meet you Hououji-san!

[video] sorry for lateness!

[holdsleftovers.livejournal.com]

Ah, miss? It's on!

[video] It's cool!

[angelicmiracle.livejournal.com]

[Blinks.]

Sorry about that!

[video]

[holdsleftovers.livejournal.com]

It's no problem. Welcome to Johto.

[video]

[angelicmiracle.livejournal.com]

[Have a smile.]

Thank you very much!

[video]

[holdsleftovers.livejournal.com]

Do you need help finding your way?

[video]

[angelicmiracle.livejournal.com]

Am I supposed to be going somewhere?

[video]

[holdsleftovers.livejournal.com]

Only if you want to, but I wouldn't recommend staying in New Bark Town.

The lady who said she was my mother told me I had to travel but she didn't say where to go.
