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?

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!

If I needed it, maybe!

[But no, that would be gross. ..and yet, Jimmy probably...would...

He makes a face as he has to resort to cleaning his hands on his pants, since messing with the slick surface on his jacket is just making things worse.]

So, have you and Spore been taking good care of things?

[Jimmy asks the Goodra, who looks up from Scott and nods briskly.]

Who's Spore?

_{[She chimes in cheerfully even as she takes another few steps to the side and stares up at the ceiling, this time really seeing all the pokémon perched up there.]

[A ... lot of them. Wow. Would there be a point in counting them- no, moving too much, but still.]}

Oh, he's my Breloom! He should be around here somewhere...Spoore! C'mere boy, there's somebody I want you to meet!

[The Pokemon flitting about near the ceiling are watching Molly just as curiously as she's watching them, bright eyes staring back from the darkness.

Guava starts to trundle off as Jimmy talks, calling aloud herself until a Pokemon slowly comes into view around the bleachers, looking a bit shy. He taps his claws together as Guava approaches, gesturing for him to come out into the open to meet Molly.]

_{[Molly squints a little as she tries to catch sight of the shy Breloom, but once she recognises the colours and shapes of him, she has an oh-moment.]}

Oh oh, it's one of those grass types, right? That started out really small?

_{[And after a moment's consideration, let's also beckon him if he needs more encouragement.]}

Hiii, Spore.

[Jimmy nods, watching as Spore cautiously approaches, getting a little braver when he sees that Molly is just a little girl...and not an adult. He smiles slightly from beneath his large, dish-like hat, his tail coming to shyly wrap around his side as he stops next to Jimmy.]

He's a little shy, so he's been staying home for now helping the other Pokemon out, as well as practicing for the show.

Hi Spore.

_{[She says this again, but with a smile now, and slowly steps up to the Breloom to look up at him. Scott hops up to greet him, too.]}

What kind of things do you do? Is it acrobatics and stuff?

[Spore nods slowly.]

Yup! Me, Spore, and my Furret Cherry all have a sort of neat balancing act we do together. And then I juggle with my Houndoom Lucius sometimes!

That's really cool!

Do you ever use their powers?

Of course! It wouldn't be as fun if I didn't!

[And that reminds him...]

Oh, hey, I told you I'd show you the rest of my Pokemon that are with me, didn't I? I think the tent should be big enough, and it's warmer in here than it would be at the park anyways.

Yeah! I want to see them!

_{[That's her enthusiastic way of instantly agreeing that the park can wait. If the park is even worth it at all. Circus tents! For the win!]}

Alright, great! You might wanna stand back.

[At that prompt, Guava, Breloom, and Leader all move off to the side as Jimmy unclips five Pokeballs from his belt. Without waiting, he tosses them all into the air at once.]

Come out guys!

[They all burst open in turn with matching bursts of light as a whole host of Pokemon appear before Molly. The first two are Pip and Inferno, the Noivern and Volcarona Jimmy used to fly back to Goldenrod. Being the evolved form of Noibat, Pip is perhaps a bit intimidating, but he's also smaller than most his species. Inferno, however, is unexpectedly large, for sure.

The other four are more reasonable in size, at least. A Furret, Cherry, stands tall on her haunches and immediately brightens when she sees Scott, scurrying over to him to say hello. A Houndoom, Lucius, slowly saunters over to stand next to Leader. The last Pokemon to appear is Honey, a pretty Lopunny that is just a little bit taller than Molly herself.]

This isn't everyone, but this is everyone I have with me right now!

[They're all some of his strongest, mostly because he just really wanted Molly to see them.]

_{[Excuse her look of awe for a moment.]

[She is definitely kind of intimidated at first by the two fliers - the huge bat just looks scary, like something out of a movie, and Molly takes automatic issue to really big bugs like the Volcarona.]

[But on the other hand, the dog is really cool and regal looking, the Furret is just really really cute, and the Lopunny is something Molly's never seen before. She looks them each over with wide eyes as Scott happily bumps noses with Cherry in greeting.]}

Wow. They're all really big.

[That's the first impression.]

[Jimmy's grin spreads from ear to ear as he walks over to stand between Pip and Inferno, putting a hand onto the large bat's head. Inferno, meanwhile, seems to sense Molly's unease right away and tries to correct that by hovering low to the ground, landing to rest like a little furry mountain.

Cherry chirps when they bump noses, moving to curiously bounce around Scott so she can get a better look because holy crap he's pink.]

Oh man, you should see Cerbee! He's way bigger than the rest of these guys!

_{[He is so pink! Isn't he fabulous? He follows Cherry with his eyes for a moment before he curls into a quick little bounce himself and playfully pounches her side, just lightly.]

[Molly meanwhile slowly gets a bigger smile as she watches and gets used to all of these pokémon, and then turns to Jimmy in another state of small wonder.]}

Really? What kind of pokémon is he?

He's a Tyrantrum! Which is like a big T-Rex! I wish I had him with me right now.

[He's...not sure how well he would fit inside the tent with all of these other Pokemon, though.]
