[Hello network! Today we have a pretty excited looking Molly who's keeping the camera turned around on herself as she's walking through a busy Goldenrod street. Her Natu is perched on her shoulder, on occasion chirping quietly to herself.]

This city is really big! I mean, I knew it'd be big, and I know it's not as big as New York, but it's really big compared to Violet.

Anyway, I bought a map, and I saved up some money, so ... does anybody know any good places that I should go to? Like your favorite spots or something? Everybody has those.

Okay, bye!

[She waves at the feed before she turns it off.]

[Action: she is anywhere and everywhere throughout this and the following days, having fun in following that tourist map of hers to well known stores and coffee shops and craft stores and town squares and yes she wants to see everything. Feel free to run into her anywhere.]

Audio, private to Jimmy: Hi Jimmy, I'm in Goldenrod now! If you still want to fly here.

Audio, private to Rin: I'm here now! Where are you? Can I come see you if you're not busy?

_{[Guess who hasn't learned his lesson about boxes?]

[Nearby a cardboard box shuffles on the street corner. There is a round hole cut in the box, just big enough for a camera lens. And if you listen....there's a SNAP!]}

_{[... did that box just move. Did it actually move.]

[Molly pauses uncertainly, staring at the hole, not sure what to make of this. She's aware of stranger danger, of course. But everybody's been really nice so far ... and not dangerous ...]}

Hello?

_{[Henry keeps shuffling along, crowd-watching. He is unaware that he has been Noticed. Suddenly a paw sticks out of the hole--a little brown one. It is quickly yanked back inside.]}

Cheerios, no, you'll blow our cov--

_{[CRAP. Too late. Henry goes silent. Maybe whoever is out there will forget about them!]}

_{[--! Oh, it's a pokémon! That sort of explains it, except on second thought it doesn't really. Molly does hear the voice but doesn't catch the sounds, so maybe it's a pokémon that sounds that way, except she's never seen anyone hide in a box before.]

[Either way, she does what any (sensible) kid faced with an animal does and perches down and beckons at the box.]}

Here, kitty ... or doggie ... kss kss.

_{[Inside the box, Cheerios's ears stood up. He loved kissy noises! The Leafeon shoves as much of his face through the hole in the box as he can. It stretches his eyes very wide and crumples the leaves growing out of his head. WHERE WERE THE KISSES?]

[Inside, Henry just face-palmed. So much for getting nice natural shots of the people on the streets.]}

_{[Oh my god it's a kitty. Maybe, probably, but it looks like one of those Siamese cats with its face all squished like that, and Molly lights up at the confirmation that this looks more like a pet and less like one of those really really wild ones that want to attack you.]

[She beckons for a while longer, then slowly starts approaching the box, while keeping up the kissy sounds.]}

Hey kitty. Pretty kitty.

_{[This wouldn't do at all.]

[SUDDENLY THE BOX GROWS A PAIR OF BLUE JEAN-CLAD LEGS as Henry stands up. A pair of human arms reach down to the happily wagging Leafeon and pick it up around the middle.]}

Cheerios, bringing you out here was a mistake.

_{[... SHE DID NOT EXPECT THIS. She stands back, politely apologetic.]}

Sorry, I thought he was a wild one.

It's fine, you haven't done anything wrong.

_{[Said the BOX WITH LEGS. Cheerios continues to dangle and give her a bright little Pokemon smile.]}

_{[... um.]}

Okay. Thanks.

Who are you?

_{[Cheerios starts struggling so Henry just drops him. The Leafeon bounds up to the girl and puts his paws on her legs. WHERE ARE THE KISSES.]}

I'm Henry. this is Cheerios. We were trying to get some natural shots of the people in town.

_{[Ah! CUTE. She crouches down and starts giving him lots of pets, strokes his face and behind his ears. She's never seen a Leafeon before!]}

Like photos?

I'm Molly. _{[And in a cutesier voice,]} Hi Cheerios.

_{[The grass-type is beside himself. He twitches his leafy ears and waves his tail like a palm fan at the attention. He loves the baby voice so much. Cheerios chirps to her because TRAINERS must like the baby voice too! Henry sings to him sometimes but that is a secret so shh.]}

Yeah. It's nice to see how the town looked in different seasons.

_{[Molly makes kissy sounds for him and keeps scratching and petting him. What a cute plant cat.]}

I bet it's pretty here in summer.

_{[Cheerios continues to chirp and smush his face against her hand. He then decides that Molly is A CHOSEN ONE and tries to climb up onto her shoulders.]}

It is. It won't belong until all the snow mel--Cherios! Get down.

_{[Molly doesn't mind this at all and just gives a surprised laugh and supports Cheeriors as he tries to get up.]}

Haha, it's okay!

_{[Kid does not have a sense for discipline.]}

_{[Henry frets about the Leafeon's awful little claws, but Molly seems to like it so he lets his arms fall limp again.]}

Looks like you've made a friend.

_{[Molly has two clingy ones of her own, she's stopped minding the scratches. Also it's still chilly out so her jacket's pretty thick. It's all good.]

[She keeps smiling widely as Cheerios clambers up on her shoulder.]}

He's really pretty. What is he?

He's a Leafeon. He was an Eevee a couple of weeks ago.

_{[Cheerios stands tall on Molly's shoulders, puffing out his leafy chest and giving a loud chirp of triumph.]}

_{[Molly gets her hands on Cheerios' paws to steady him and then she stands up propely too. THEY ARE THE TOWER.]}

They're the ones that can become almost anything, right?

Ahuh. Eevee can come almost any element of Pokemon...they're still discovering new ones. I've got a bright pink one called a Sylveon. He tries to bury my clothes.

_{[What even, Henry.]}

Why does he do that?

I wish I knew...I need to get going and develop this film. C'mon, Cheerios.

_{[The Leafeon's ears droop but he dips his head down to snuffle loudly into the top of Molly's hair before springing down to his trainer's side. Henry takes up his box disguise and gives the girl a wave.]}

Oh, okay.

_{[She sends Cheerios a kiss and then gives a wave towards both him and his trainer. She won't interrupt them if they're going somewhere.]}

Bye!
