[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!

...really?

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

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

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.

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

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

[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?

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]

[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!

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

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

They evolve...?

[Huh.]

Can they still leap over mountains when they evolve?

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

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

But how do you knows yours is old enough?

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.]

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

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!

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

[ 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.

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.

[Yeah, Flying-types are so mainstream. Except...]

Well, I do have Norn, my HootHoot. I don't think she's big enough to fly me anywhere... Still, gotta love that novelty of a Magikarp. He's like a fish-shaped jetpack or something!

That's the spirit, Maria-chan!

[MINATO IS SUPPORTIVE OF YOUR MAGIKARP ENDEAVORS.]

Maybe one of them can fly too! ... Though I wonder why they're witches' Pokemon?

Hmmm... I guess I can do a test run? Like, see if I can fly over a roof with Splash or something?

Maybe it's your Growlithe's way of showing affection! We have a word for that in my country, you know. It's called tsundere~

It would be even better if I made a giant crater from landing with a fish! It'd be like that Mindy Anaconda movie, except instead of the tallest tree of the forest, it's the ground~!

[Realism? Psssh, that word doesn't exist in her dictionary.]

[MOST EXCITED GASP EVER]

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