obfuscate | 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?

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

Maybe because they're MAGIKarp?

[ 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-..!

[THE MORE YOU KNOW☆]

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

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. ]
