004 @ VIDEO / Action for Goldenrod City

[gyaooon]

[Hello, network. The video feed turns on to show the exhausted face of the oldest member from the 876 idol trio. Ryo sighs.]

Finally... After so many detours and roadblocks, we've finally made it to Goldenrod. I hope we can really find work here.

Anyway, I was wondering...

[The camera moves to show a Kirlia, which tilts its head with confusion.]

Why is Ralts' evolution so girly-looking?! I thought they were supposed to become cooler?! I mean, it doesn't make me like Ritsu even less, but... Man, this doesn't help my image at all...

Does it matter?

*Hayate is out about doing his normal rounds around town, his Lucario trotting at his heels when he spots Ryo!! It takes him a moment of awkward staring from a distance before he can in fact recognize that it's Ryo!

It's tough to miss that kind of hair and the dress stands out pretty well to boot. Which is why he'll be trotting up to the green pair of trainer and 'mon!*

--Akizuki-san? ... Akizuki-san! It's you, isn't it?! Wow... Did you only just get to town?

If you ask me, I rather like it.

[ Joshua points to the side, and the camera swings the way he's pointing. It's now focusing on a mirror, which reflects back the Gardevoir holding the PokeGear. After a second she looks up at the mirror, surprised to suddenly find herself on the video. Admittedly this Gardevoir is blue and sparkling a little but Ryo can probably get the idea. ]

There you are, Ryo! I was wondering when you'd finally catch up.

[ a pause. ]

But don't you think the evolution is cute? I really like how Kirlia looks! I can't wait for her to evolve again. [ too bad your kirlia is a boy, makoto, and you already unknowingly have a dawn stone in your possession... ]

Because Pokemon was a stupid game that didn't make any sense. I have a pokemon that's a candle with a face. Why even.

_{[Y-you'll have to excuse him. He hasn't had a cigarette in four days.]}

[...okay, while she doesn't have a problem with cute pokemon, she can relate to keeping up a cool image. She gives the girl a sympathetic look as she turns on the feed]

Maybe she gets better? I mean, there's lots of pokemon with more than one evolution, and usually the last one looks way better than the others. You know, like they're saving the best for last.

[ You can blame running in to caves for the extra detour time. ]

If you dress up Ritsu in a cool looking clothes it might solve the problem?

Congratulations on making it there. I'm sure we'll follow you eventually.
