4 ✶ video/action

[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?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yeah! There's so much to do!

_{[Which she's super excited about, because as charming as Violet and Cherrygrove could be, they were also a little ... boring.]}

We flew here on one of Shaun's pokémon, it was really fun. Did you just get here? Do you need to heal your pokémon?

Just touched down, yep!

[He nods slightly, unclipping two pokeballs from his belt and turning them over between his fingers. One of them is just a normal, standard ball, while one of them sports the yellow and black markings of an Ultra Ball.]

I'm gonna heal Pip and Inferno real quick, since I know they're super tired from flying me all this way. It shouldn't take me long, though.

Okay, I'll wait here!

_{[The reason for this being so she can dig through her backpack! Which she'd left by one of the tables when she'd ran over to him, but she goes to get it now, Scott trailing behind her.]

[So she brings it back towards the entrance and when Jimmy returns to her she's got both hands hidden behind her back and a mischievous smile directed at him.]}

Guess which hand!

[As usual, the nurse has Jimmy's Pokemon healed up in a jiffy (he seems to be a pretty regular visitor to this particular Center, so he's caught up in conversation with her for a moment while the Pokemon are healed) and soon they're ready to be returned back to him. He snaps them back into place on his belt while he walks back over to Molly, raising a brow at her.]

Huuh...well lesse...

[He leans back with one arm resting against his front, his elbow propped up in one hand while his chin rests in his palm as he thinks.]

I'm gonna guess...that one!

[Jimmy says, pointing at her right hand.]

Wrong!

_{[She says brightly, all teasing, when she shows him her empty right hand. Then she giggles and hands him a messily but lovingly wrapped package in her left.]

[It's plain white paper, but she's drawn a bunch of stars on it and written his name, and it's vaguely circular and a bit ... lumpy. Also there's a bunch of tape.]

[Inside is a small bracelet made from woven leather that has his name on it in colourful beads that sort of matches the one he gave her back for Christmas, and a matching dog collar.]}

Happy birthday!

[He rolls his eyes and lets out a playful sigh of exasperation when he gets it wrong, but he's quick to take the present from her with his smile only growing.]

Aw wow...thank you, Molly! Here, let's sit down for a sec.

[He gestures to the long couches lining the wall, sitting down on the end of one so he can open up the present on his knees. Jimmy lets out a small gasp once he gets it open, holding the bracelet up in one hand and the collar in the other.]

Oh woah! Did you make these?

_{[Having sat down next to him and watched him closely for his reaction, she now gives him a sunny smile even as she shakes her head.]}

No, I bought them. But I showed them mine and asked them to make them sort of like that, and they did! Do you like them?

I love them!

[Even as he says that he's already slipping on the bracelet, turning it up so his name can be seen. He gestures for Leader to come over and sit at his feet while he unbuckles the collar.]

These are super presents. Thank you!

_{[She looks super pleased that he likes them and that he's immediately putting them to use and does that thing where she swings her legs a little as a result. Scott slinks up and puts his face in her lap and she pets him absently as she watches Leader accept the collar.]}

You're welcome! I hope you got lots of other stuff, too.

I did! I didn't get a chance to tell you, but I caught a new Pokemon!

[It takes him a moment to fit it on, but once the collar is in place Leader shakes himself a bit, nosing his muzzle into Molly's hand as thanks.]

I can't let him out in here, though.

_{[Ah cute. Molly immediately strokes a hand over Leader's head, tangling her fingers into the fuzzy mane for a moment before she looks up at Jimmy.]}

We could go somewhere if you want.

How about the park?

[He suggests with a grin. He's been wanting to show Molly a lot of his Pokemon, after all, and that would probably be the best place for it.]

Yeah, okay!

_{[She hops to her feet, zips up her backpack and shrugs it on, then beckons her Furret with a bright "come on, Scott!". She's not really well versed in the Goldenrod geography yet at all, so even if she has a reasonably good direction sense, she looks up to Jimmy the moment they're outside.]}

You know the way, right?

[Jimmy nods, hefting his backpack a bit higher on his shoulders once they're outside, gesturing for her to follow him.]

Sure do! It's just this way a couple blocks into town. If you want, we can go the long way so you can see the circus tent! We keep it up since there are Pokemon living there that take care of things while me n' Joker aren't home.

Ooh, yeah!

_{[She immediately agrees because she's been wanting to see that circus ever since Jimmy first mentioned it.]}

Are there pokémon there now, too?

There sure are! Some of 'em are mine, too!

[A portion of Jimmy's roster usually stays back at the tent to help out. It's better than having to stay cooped up in the PC, after all.

It doesn't take long for them to find the tent as large as it is, and even at a distance some pokemon can be seen flying in and out of the entrance.]

_{[And Molly's all but gaping in awe when she takes in that huge tent, and even moreso when she spots the pokémon zipping around. She kind of reflexively reaches for the hem of Jimmy's jacket and holds onto him as they get closer.]}

What are those?

Those are Unown! They're psychic type Pokemon, and there are a whole lot of different ones. There isn't a lot that people know about them...I think they're a pretty old kind of Pokemon that's been around for a long time.

[He gestures to the tent's entrance with a nod of his head.]

You wanna go inside for a sec? Then you can see what it looks like when there isn't a whole big crowd in the stands.

That's really cool.

_{[And she means that for the Unown AND the tent in general, cause woah. Scott's winding between her legs excitedly, just as interested as she is.]}

Yes!

Is your friend here too?

[Jimmy pulls back the tent flap so Molly can go inside before ducking in after her, watching as the Unown follow them and fly up toward the ceiling to rest, along with a cluster of Noibat.]

Who, Joker? Naah, he's back in Ecruteak right now. But Invidia, his Zoroark, is probably here somewhere in his place keeping an eye on things, since he's the ring-leader and all.

[Inside, the tent is massive. There are various Pokemon scurrying here and there, some of them looking up eagerly as they see Jimmy and Molly walk in. There are the aforementioned Noibat and Unown, as well as some Litleo playing in the corner of the ring.

As Jimmy opens his mouth to talk again, he's suddenly interrupted by the dull thump-thump-thump of a Pokemon lumbering his way. He scarcely has time to look up before something is looming around the corner, rushing to get over to him with her arms outstretched.

Her very gooey arms.]

AH- ah wait!

[Nope, it's too late, it's already in motion. You're getting slimey hugs from your favorite goo dragon, Jimmy.]

_{[Molly continues to look amazed as she takes in all the pokémon inside - even if all the bats spook her a little. But she doesn't really have time to process all she's seeing before there's that running ... sound ...]

[Scott sensed what it was before Jimmy and was up Molly's frame and curling around her chest and neck like an oversized shiny boah by the time the gooey dragon was up to them, watching her with wide eyes.]

[A look that Molly mirrors entirely before she starts giggling, even as she takes a step back.]}

Eww!

_{[With all the glee all kids feel for someone else getting stuck in the icky.}]

Eeeuugh, Guava...

[Jimmy groans as the Goodra plops her head on top of Jimmy's, just tall enough so she can drape herself over his shoulders like a sticky shawl, patting the side of his face and hair with her sticky hand.

Jimmy looks up at Molly with a weak smile, even as the goop drips down the side of his face.]

This is uh...Guava. She's a Goodra, a dragon type.

[She looks up with a bright smile in Molly's direction, gurgling happily.]

Ew!

_{[Just in case you didn't catch this the first time around, Jimmy.]

[Really though, Molly continues laughing, and she coaxes Scott down from her shoulders and he very cautiously moves to bat a gentle paw at the Goodra's foot. It seems risky. But it might be worth it.]}

She really likes you.

[Jimmy's laughing too, a clear sign that this has happened before. Guava relinquishes her hold of Jimmy soon enough, leaving a long trail of slime as she pulls away to look down at Scott...

Before giving him a gentle- if sticky- pap on the head.]

Haha, yeah! It's sticky, but I don't mind it too much...I like her a lot, too.

[He sighs, smearing his hands on the front of his coat before trying to wipe the slime from his hair, only succeeding in causing it to stick out in places as if it had been gelled.]

_{[... huh. Okay, Scott can deal with that. He flexes his tail as he sits back up and starts kinda carefully grooming himself.]

[Molly's still laughing a bit. Sorry Jimmy. This is funny. Awkward funny.]}

You look all messy now.

Maybe you can use it as hair gel!
