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

[obfuscate]

[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!

[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?

[uuing]

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!

[obfuscate]

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?

[uuing]

.. Uu-, don't know why. [ at least she admits it honestly, that's one thing.. ]

But a witch told Maria that, so it must be true, right?

[obfuscate]

[Well, that make sense, but... Wait. Something dawns on her, and Minato shares this realization:]

Maybe because they're MAGIKarp?

[uuing]

[ oh, this is a pretty good deduction - and one Maria apparently didn't make, since she gasps loudly. ]

That's true! It's like they already have magic in their names, uu-..!

[obfuscate]

[THE MORE YOU KNOW☆]

Yeah! I wonder if they have any other magic besides leaping over mountains... Guess I'll find out soon.

[uuing]

They should cast a magic spell that will make everyone love them, uu-..! Then it wouldn't just be you and Maria anymore that cared about them! [ she pouts. ]

[obfuscate]

Wouldn't that be nice~? [Suddenly, idea.] Oh! Maybe we can tell people that they're good luck charms?

[uuing]

Good luck charms..? Uu-, Maria thought only things could be good luck charms, not entire Pokémon!

[obfuscate]

Well, some animals bring good luck, right? Why not Pokemon? Magikarp should bring good fortune! Especially the ones that are golden!
