002 ☾ VIDEO // ACTION FOR VIOLET CITY [Backdated to the 26th]

[The camera is a bit shaky at first, but it finally steadies and focuses to show Minato, once again all smiles.]

Good job, Thanatos! Just hold it right there.

Anyway, hey there! Minato Arisato here. On my way to Violet City, I managed to catch the greatest thing ever. I've got...

[TA-DA-DA-DAAAAAAA! Minato suddenly raises a giant orange fish over her head. A fish that many love to hate.]

A MAGIKARP!

[There is a moment of silence to allow the sheer crazy badassery to sink into the minds of the viewers.]

I know what you're thinking. Something like, "It's a stupid little fiiiiiish." or "It's so weak and useleeeeeess..."

Well, you shouldn't just judge on appearances! Did you know that a Magikarp that lives for a really long time can fly over a mountain using Splash? I'm pretty sure I've caught an ancient Magikarp, so I can cut back on travel time by latching onto him! Isn't that totally awesome?!

GET A MAGIKARP!

-----

[TEXT; Locked to Ryoji Mochizuki]

Hey, I'm here now. Where would you like to meet?

[ DID SOMEONE SAY MAGIKARP. Because Maria really agrees with this whole broadcast, she even giggles. ]

Uu-! Maria thinks Magikarp are re-ally great too..! Someone told Maria before that Magikarp are witches' pets!

[MAGIKARP APPRECIATORS UNITE.]

Really?! I just knew they were awesome! I guess there are many more mysterious to solve about the Magikarp... I'm guessing you have one too?

Maria doesn't have one Magikarp! She has a who-le lot of them! [ seriously, her boxes on the computer are just stuffed with them.. ]

When she knew they were witches' Pokémon, Maria caught as many as she could!

...really?

[It seems impossible to her...but then again, this is Johto]

Yeah! The 'dex told me so! I'm going to use my Magikarp to leap from town to town! He's like an aquatic jetpack!

[AWWW YEAH]

I see... [Well...if the Pokedex says so...]

But how do you knows yours is old enough?

Fly over a mountain? Oh, my. [ her magikarp and judith's wailmer should party. ]

[One day Minato will teach her Magikarp Bounce and then Bounce Parties shall be had.]

Yeah! I didn't know Splash could be such a useful move! It'll be so majestic when he flies through the air, while I hang onto his tail fin!

[ she chuckles. it's hard not to, with that kind of an image. ]

I think most people would just choose a Flying-type. [ really. ] I'm not against a bit of originality, though.

I'm...pretty sure it doesn't do that. [Not that his would, even if that was true.] But Magikarp aren't so bad. Feebas, either.

The Pokedex said it could! Maybe you're just not believing it enough?

[Granted, it was a rumor, but ONE CAN HOPE.]

It also says that Growlithe are loyal and friendly, but it doesn't stop Hookfang from stealing from me and running off.

Hee, those turn out to be very powerful after they evolve!

They evolve...?

[Huh.]

Can they still leap over mountains when they evolve?

Maybe! They get pretty big... here, let me show you mine. [First, Cheria moves and is walking a little, before setting the gear down. Releasing her Audino first, the pink Pokemon becomes the cameramon while Cheria backs up; she's out in the street on the edge of Goldenrod, so at least when she lets out her Gyarados, he won't be in the way of anything. When she's far enough back, she gives the feed a wave before releasing the larger Pokemon.

Mana? Gives a pleased roar at getting to stretch, his mouth gaping before he leans down to rather gently nudge at his much smaller trainer.]

Fly over mountains? [Gasp] Maybe he'll turn into a dragon like in the legends!

I dunno, I think he'd be much cooler flying over mountains as a fish...

But wouldn't it be cooler to be riding him as a fish and then he turns into a dragon as you land?

[His eyes are dreamy. He's imagining the whole scene quite dramatically.]

Treat that fish well, girl. You will be well compensated when it grows much stronger.

[MOST EXCITED GASP EVER]

Will he be able to leap over MORE mountains with Splash?!

Edited 2012-10-02 07:22 (UTC)

That and more! You will have to see for yourself; the suspense will lead you further into a pleasant surprise!

How about at the Bellsprout Tower? It's at the north side of town. The view's great from there, once you get to the top.

[Making her climb towers again? Just kidding.]

Oh yeah, I saw that! Sounds great! Should I wait at the entrance or meet you at the top?

My Magikarp defeated one of Falkner's team before he evolved.

[What she isn't telling is that she had a Shinx beat it mostly senseless first, but whatever. This is Magikarp Appreciation Hour, right?]

[Yes.]

Really?! I knew these fish were awesome! I think everyone should have a Magikarp!
