2 ✶ video/action

[Video! Molly's sitting on a park bench in Cherrygrove, a Natu and a shiny Sentret fighting for space in her lap.]

I wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped me last time. I can't remember everyone's names, but thanks.

[There were a lot of you people. But she does appreciate it, which is why she's reaching out again.]

But ... okay, I have to ask a few things. I've heard people talk about badges, what are those?

And ... well, what are pokémon supposed to eat?

[Video tilts to show the pokémon she's concerned for, then back up to Molly's face.]

They've kind of been eating my food, but I don't know if that's good for them. But I haven't really found anything in those stores either, like bird food or ... dog food or anything like that. So if anyone could help me with that that'd be great.

[Action if anyone in Cherrygrove wants to bump into her!]

I think it's different for Pokemon, but it's probably a good idea to try to keep an eye on what they eat anyway.

And a Linoone is my starter...he used to be a Zigzagoon, which is probably best comparable to a raccoon. But I think Linoone look more like badgers.

[As if on cue, a furry head noses its way under Chihiro's arm into view of the camera, blue eyes staring curiously at the camera.]

This is Isamu.

[video]

[walkersystem]

Oh, I've seen one of those! The raccoon ones, I mean. It was sneaking around the Pokémon Center.

Is that what they turn into?

[video]

[codeforhope]

Mhm!

[Isamu chitters softly at the camera in response, pushing his head into Chihiro's hand.]

They are very friendly Pokemon, if you ever think you might be interested in training one.

[walkersystem]

_{[Aria perks up at the pokétalk and hops onto Molly's lower arm to chirp lightly back at the Linoone.]}

Really? I guess I haven't thought about it. People have told me you can catch them if you want, but I haven't tried it yet.

[video]

[codeforhope]

[Isamu returns the chirps happily. Hello, friend!]

Zigzagoon would be a good Pokemon to start with, but I am a little biased, of course. The ones you'll find are fairly low leveled, too, so they shouldn't be difficult to catch.

[video]

[walkersystem]

Hm, okay.

It's kind of like taking in strays, isn't it?

[video]

[codeforhope]

Mmm...I suppose you could put it that way, yes.

[...don't try this at home though, kids.]

[video]

[walkersystem]

Okay. I'm gonna try it.

Oh, I'm Molly. What's your name?

[video]

[codeforhope]

Oh...my name is Chihiro. It's nice to meet you, Molly-san.

[video]

[walkersystem]

_{[Curious face!]}

What does that mean?

[video]

[codeforhope]

[Chihiro blinks, tilting his head to the side.]

Oh...you mean, -san?

[video]

[walkersystem]

Yeah. Someone else called me that, too.

[video]

[codeforhope]

Oh. Well, it's just a way of being polite, or to show respect.

[video]

[walkersystem]

Oh. ... should I call you that, too?

[video]

[codeforhope]

Oh no, you don't have to. Just Chihiro or Fujisaki is fine.

[video]

[walkersystem]

_{[It wouldn't have been a problem, honest! She just wants to make sure he's not offended.]}

Okay, if you're sure. It's nice to meet you, too.

[video]

[codeforhope]

[He nods, smiling gently.]

I wish you good luck in catching a Pokemon. Once you've done it once, it isn't quite so hard the next time.

[He says, even though he had...quite a bit of trouble catching a Rotom, once.]

[video]

[walkersystem]

Have you caught a lot of them?

[video]

[codeforhope]

Oh...no, actually. Most of my Pokemon I have bred, or obtained from other breeders and trainers.

[video]

[walkersystem]

I didn't know there were other things than trainers. I got a Trainer's Handbook in my bag. Are you a breeder?

[video]

[codeforhope]

Yes, I am. I wasn't sure about it at first, but I've found that it's actually very interesting learning what Pokemon can be bred, as well as learning what moves they may hatch with.

[You tend to get some...really weird combinations at times.]

[video]

[walkersystem]

That's ... egg groups, right?

_{[She's learning!]}

[video]

[codeforhope]

That's right! If two Pokemon belong to the same group, they can breed.

There is also a Pokemon called Ditto that can breed with every species of Pokemon, no matter what group it belongs to. The eggs will not hatch with any egg moves, but having a ditto is good if you are a breeder.

[video]

[walkersystem]

I think I know of those. That's the one that looks like goo, right?

[video]

[codeforhope]

Mhm. Like...a pudding with a face.
