 [Good morning, New Bark Town. Have a pink-haired girl sitting on a bench somewhere and staring into the screen, narrowing her eyes as if there's a speck of dirt on her PokéGear that wouldn't come off.]

There we go! That was easy, wasn't it, Light? [She turns to someone - or something - sitting at her left. The view shifts as well, showing a Budew peering inquisitively into the PokéGear, almost sniffing it.]

Budew!

[Now the girl gets down to business to defeat the Huns]

Okay, so if anyone can hear me, what kind of game is this? There's this weird woman who called herself my mom, but she's not my mom. For one thing, she doesn't know I have a brother. What kind of mom wouldn't know that?

... [Wait.]

Speaking of my brother, has anyone seen him? He has short gray hair and is blind, but he can get around just fine. 

And...is there a band or a hidden stereo here or something?

Beats me. She's probably just taking the role to confuse us, for all we know.

[video, YES I DO OKAY.]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

I knew it, she's a fake!

[video, YES I DO OKAY.]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

Or she could also be sincerely thinking we're all her kids. [Yeah, he's just giving possibilities, not facts.]

[video]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

...Why would she do that? [SHE DOES NOT BUY THIS THEORY.]

I wanted to ask her more questions, but she told me to go on and go be a trainer, and now I can't go back into that house.

[video]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

You have clearly not met an overly enthusiastic mother like her before. [Sad. It's a once in a lifetime experience.] Some just like to do it, I'm not sure why.

... You can ask me. I'll see what I can help you with.

[video]

The lights went out when I left, and when I tried to go back, I couldn't. The door was locked, and I couldn't hear anyone in there.

It's almost like she knew I was gonna go back and ask her questions about this place.

And the music - what's up with that?! Are there hidden speakers everywhere or something?

[video]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

... She did that, really? [The heck.] She had actually let me in a few times while I was there. You don't think you might have gotten her mad?

[A beat, then--] No one knows why the music is always there. It just is.

You learn to live with it after a while... hopefully.

[WELL THAT'S WHAT IT SAID ON THE MAIN COMM PROFILE. Doo doo doo~]

Hey, there's nothing wrong with asking questions, especially when you wake up in a house you're not supposed to be in!

...and what do you mean, "it just is"?

[video]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

[TED LEFT HIS BAG IN THE ROOM BEFORE, HE HAD AN EXCUSE TO GO BACK IN. Then again, that was also mun fail on my part.]

Maybe, but then she does think she's your mom...

It means what it means. Even when you go down the routes, you'd still hear it--- just in a different tune, sometimes.

[video]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

[It's not mun fail it's perfectly logical~]

But that's impossible! There's gotta be somewhere that music's coming from!

[video]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

Maybe we're dealing with musical plants. No one's found anything like 'speakers' or musicians playing while we're walking around.

[video]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Really?

And yeah, maybe that's it! The plants could be fancy stereos!

[video]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

[Stereos? Um... he'll take that as being the same as speakers.] Given they're all over the place, it could definitely be that.

It doesn't explain when you change the music using the Pokégear though.

[video]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

[Only bigger?]

W-wait, you can do that?!

[video]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

[Way bigger.]

Yeah, it's one of the functions of it.

[video]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

[STEREO tugs tugs tugs tugs - ]

Whoa, so it's like a remote control and a phone at the same time!

[video]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

... Yeah, we can go with that. [What in the world is a remote control?]

[video]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Wow, this thing does a lot.

[video]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

Definitely. It also helps you identify the kind of pokemon you're encountering, which helps when you want to fight using type advantage.

[video]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Fight...oh yeah, there was something that told me I'd be training my Budew to fight...

[video]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

It's the best idea, especially if you're traveling. Your Budew would be able to fend off other pokemon better than you can.

[video]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

You really think this little guy can fight off all the other Pokemon?

[video]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

He can probably take on a few there, but you'll need to get some rest often until he gets stronger.

[video]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I'll take good care of him. He'll become the strongest...um, Budew...ever!

[video]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

That's the spirit. If you ever need any help, I'm sure people would be willing to offer advice too.
