001 | Video/Action for New Bark
[When the feed begins, anyone tuning in to the Network is going to be graced with a nose curiously sniffing at the 'Gear, which nearly drowns out the barely detectable sound of someone cheerily humming to the ever present background music that happens to accompany New Bark Town and just about everywhere besides. The humming stops before the creature behind said nose is gently pulled away, revealing the cheery face of a boy who couldn't be much older than 15. He sits with the 'Gear held against his knees, a bright, gap-toothed grin on his face as he shifts into a more comfortable position with his back to a tree.
Sitting in his lap is a rather fluffy Electrike who seems overly curious with just about everything the boy is doing. So much so, in fact, that he has to put a hand on the Pokémon's head to get him to sit still long enough so he can talk.]
Beezy! Heloise! Are you guys around? Can you hear me-?
[The Electrike lets out a low, playful growl and bumps his head against the bottom of the boy's chin, causing him to laugh and trial off before he can continue.]
Heheh, looks like I made a new friend! Gonna hafta' come up with a nickname for you, boy.
[He seems pleased by that, finally settling down enough so the boy can turn his full attention to the 'Gear in his hands.]
Anyways, my name's Jimmy, Jimmy Two-Shoes! I uh....wow, I've never seen a place as bright and nice as this! And the sky is blue, that's awesmazing!
[Clearly this is a kid who hasn't experienced Pokémon in any way, shape, or form....but one wonders as to why the sky should strike him as unusual.
Also yes that is a word that he may or may not have come up with because why not.]
But....could anybody out there tell me where I am, exactly? Or how I got here from Miseryville? I know the map says "New Bark Town", but...I've never heard of a place like that. ..Maybe one of Heloise's inventions sent me here and I just forgot or something...
[He shakes his head a little, laughing to himself. Jimmy might not exactly understand what's going on, but he doesn't seem to be chomping at the bit to go home or anything. He's used to strange and different creatures, so the idea of Pokémon is just something new for him to experience.
Jimmy trails off again after that, distracted by just about everything from the strangely colored sky, to the people (and someone claiming to be his...mom. Not sure what that was about, but she was nice enough. ...Not that he's ever had one.), to the Pokémon themselves. He eventually ends the feed there, the picture of an excited child with lots of questions waiting to be answered.]

[video] please don't get caught up in their feud
...Oi, don't listen to a damn word Saionji says. [Because you look like one of the most gullible people Souda has ever seen in his life, and he's obligated to help anybody who receives her abuse.]
There's no place called Majto, and there ain't ever gonna be. There's just these two places, Johto and Kanto.
[video] HE'LL TRY
..Course Saionji looks trustworthy enough.]
..Really? ...Well.... why would she lie to me like that?
[And try to steal his Electrike, cmon that's just mean.]
[video] but if he's a protagonist he's pretty screwed
[Seriously, he comes from a game where appearances mean nothing, so a cute little brat like Saionji naturally could only hold all the meanness in the universe inside her.]
And she's the worst offender of 'em all, okay! Just trust me on this one! She might seem all cute for five seconds, but that's a lie!
[video] haha whoops well it was nice knowin ya Jimmy
I guess it was kinda weird that she wanted to take Electrike from me..
[video] it's the curse
Yeah, see! That's clue number one! That little guy, he's like your only protection! [He's still not used to battling, but...] ...That bein' said, I hope your friends join ya soon, 'cause ya look pretty vulnerable, no offense.
[video]
[Jimmy glances down at Electrike, who lifts his head enough to give him a lick on the cheek, as if agreeing with Souda. Yeah, so don't go trading him off this early in the game, ok?]
Yeah, I hope they show up too! I'd rather not travel all alone, if I can help it..
[Of course he still has Electrike, but that's different.]
So does that mean this place is dangerous? [Not to mention the people, apparently.] ..It seems pretty nice to me.
[video]
Honestly, I thought that, too. [To be honest, he is actually out with his friends right now. Or should he just say classmates, since technically he's only close to Kuzuryuu and Hinata?]
But bein' out here, I've noticed these other Pokémon only attack if ya provoke 'em or whatever. It's weird. I thought they'd be really scary and vicious, but they're just kinda...there at times?
[Because they're kind of like regular animals, only with supernatural powers. Way to overreact, Souda.] I heard that there are some scary ones, but we haven't found any yet.
[video]
That's good! I mean all the Pokémon I've seen so far seem either really friendly or kinda shy.
[Or just curious about his presence, depending. There aren't a whole ton of wild Pokémon just roaming around New Bark after all.]
Well they might not really be so scary! I mean, you did say you haven't actually found them yet, right? So you wouldn't know unless you saw for yourself!
[He pauses.]
Nice to meet you, by the way!
[video]
Yeah, no problem! It's way easier now with Hinata and Kuzuryuu around. All I've gotta do if somethin' happens is stick real close.
[Really, really close, as in clutching at someone's pants close.]
The name's Souda Kazuichi, by the way! [Nice to be saving you and all. Holy shit, character development.]
[video]
Nice t'meetcha Souda! Maybe I'll see you around sometime? I think I'm gonna try to go to Cherrygrove next.
[Newbies gotta stick together and all that.]
[video] THREADJACK ALERT
[SHOULD'VE FUCKING FILTERED SOUDA KAZUICHI]
[video] GODDAMN IT SAIONJI
Oh, don't ya dare! Don't ya even fuckin' dare pull that innocent loli trick!
[video] WAIT 1/2
[...at least, not in her definition]
[video- filtered to Souda] 2/2
[THIS IS HOW YOU FILTER, SOUDA.
JUST PRESS. THE BUTTON.
IT'S THAT EASY.]
[video- filtered to Souda] 1/2
[Or something like that, who the hell knows anymore?]
[video- filtered to Saionji you little EVIL BRAT] 2/2
HE DIDN'T THINK SHE'D BE SO NOSY
ISN'T HE THE ONLY ONE ALLOWED TO BE NOSY?]
...Nobody deserves that! Look at him, the kid was really about to do it! [WHY ARE THEY STILL TALKING?]
[video- filtered to Souda] AHAHA
[EHEHEHEH.] And nothing gets the message in more than discomfort and pain!
[video- filtered to Saionji] HOW DO YOU EVEN HAVE FRIENDS
[And so, so not invited anywhere! It's bad enough Gundam is travelling with the right now!]
I suspected ya was, but now you've gone and proven it! Trickin' poor kids like him?! How's that gonna do anything but make him as mean as ya are? [...He looks so nice and sweet, okay. That kind of innocence should be admired, not broken!]
[video- filtered to Souda] ew no, friends suck
[And by 'knows people for who they are' she means 'i hate everyone']
[video- filtered to Saionji with SPOILERS] but manipulating people is so much better
How's that talkin' sense?! Talkin' sense is like 'oh hey, that guy's dangerous, let's tie him up!' That's just plain old bullying! [Does she just want to be a black hole that sucks everything inside it, because hell.]
[video- filtered to Saionji with SPOILERS] obviously
It's all life lessons! Best teach the pseudo-kindergartener as fast as possible!
[video- filtered to Saionji with SPOILERS] goddamn
...Yeah right! [He has wariness down pat, okay!] Sayin' it again, nobody deserves that! There's people walkin' around like that doin' just fine! [He...kind of wants to be one of them and not have to worry all the time.] Just 'cause you've got a black hole where your heart is doesn't mean ya have a right to spread it around like some kinda flu virus!
[You know what you are, Saionji? You're the flu. THE HATE FLU.]
[video- filtered to Souda with SPOILERS]
They should be glad this world is so kind! But if things go wrong, the amount of betrayals and 'mishaps' will prove me right!
Friendship and bonds is all but a weakness, anyway. Since relations are so businesslike, they should be kept as business. And I am not something vile like a virus!
[video]
..oh wait.]
