003 ☾ VIDEO // ACTION FOR ROUTE 36

[obfuscate]

Woooohoooo! Check this out guys!

[Minato shoves a shiny and ultra-new Zephyr Badge into the camera, triumphantly belting out the Gym Badge GET! jingle.]

Dun dun duuunnn dun-dun dun dun duuunnn DUN DAAAAAAH! I got my first badge! [Minato withdraws the badge case and pockets it with a grin. An Absol and a Duskull are minding their own businesses in the background.]

And it's all thanks to the super powerful Mina-kun! Right, Mina-kun? High-five!

[Minato holds out her hand for that high-five, but the Absol decides to use SCRATCH on it. An awkward silence ensues as she maintains her smile, though the corner of her lips twitches as if trying to suppress a wince of pain. She'll just... withdraw her hand... Ow...]

Ahahahaha! Looks like he really is only staying for the battles! Anyway, this Badge allows me to use Fly out of battle, right? I don't have a Pokemon with that move yet, but I wonder why you need a badge or HM? I mean... don't they fly already? Or maybe I'll get arrested by the Air Police if I try to cut corners? [She puts a hand on her chin thoughtfully.] It's such a mystery...

Actually... Fly's a specific move for a pokémon. It let's it carry you to places you've been before and cuts out a lot of time travelling around.

[She frowns, seeing what the Absol did.]

You... might want to get that taken care of.

[Minato chuckles, as if the injury was something amusing.]

I'll be fine, Hikari-chan! It's gonna take a lot more than this to take me down~!

[SELF-PRESERVATION WHAT IS THAT.]

Anyway! I know Fly's a move, but I was wonder why we need it if they can fly already. I mean, logically shouldn't they be able to fly people around if they're big enough and have wings? So I'm wondering what will happen if I would try without the HM or badge...

[chosen_light_child]

Nothing will happen if you do that. Because they won't know the move.

I know it doesn't make any sense, but most of Johto doesn't either.

[She sighs.]

But you really should get that injury looked at.

[BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE CAN'T YOU JUST GRAB ON WHILE THEY'RE FLAPPING THEIR WINGS... Oh well.

Minato glances down at her hand.]

Should I? I'm ways away from a PokeCenter, though. I'll just bandage it up when I have time. Though I thought we couldn't die here? That means no risks of infections!

video

[chosen_light_child]

... Actually, I think all that means is that you won't die from one.

If the no dying thing is even true. Just because we haven't seen it happen before doesn't mean it still can't.

Oh... Well, major suckitude, then.

[She'll just... open her bag and start bandaging in disappointment.]

There. Does that look good? [She holds her hand, which is neatly wrapped up in bandages. Surprising out of someone who seems so dense, isn't it]

Re: video

[chosen_light_child]

[Hikari blinked.]

Yeah, those bandages are fine. If you're so good at doing them, why were you so against it?

video

[obfuscate]

Well, I had some practice since I was a Health Committee member back at school, but... It's just so much work!

[L A Z Y.]

[chosen_light_child]

... That's it?

[She shakes her head.]

Well, it's important to take care of yourself, so if you get hurt again, please make sure to take care of it.
