awesmazings | 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.]

Maybe they just have an over population of these guys and needed babysitters.

Electrike!

[Almost as if his pokemon is denying the need for a babysitter.]
Yeah, I figured because of the music. So far it changes with each area. It turns off only if you have the radio on. We're between Bark and Cherrygrove.

I think the music is so cool, actually! I can't wait to hear what the next bit of music sounds like~

[Clearly Jimmy has absolutely no qualms with being followed by BGM.]

Anyone ever tell you that you're a little strange?

[At least someone will have something to look forward to every new place.]

Occasionally. ..Why?

Not surprised. [A beat.] If you don't hum along to the music then maybe we can hang out some time. I think he would like that.

[A nudge to his electric dog.] We haven't encountered any thing like him yet.

[He wasn't even sure where you would find anything like an Eletrike. too much information for him to read and he wasn't bored enough to start.]

[Jimmy doesn't seem bothered by that quip, and in fact just takes it in stride. He's been called worse than a little strange.

...Either he ignores it or doesn't realize what's actually being said.]

Aw yeah, that'd be cool! I'm gonna get my voicemail set up on my 'Gear before I head to Cherrygrove since I'm expecting a call from someone...maybe give me a call when you wanna try to meet up? ..Or I can call you, doesn't matter to me.

[His own Electrike gives a short bark, keeping his eyes trained on Hayner's starter. Jimmy hadn't been expecting to see another Electrike either, so it's a pleasant surprise.

He can't promise he won't hum along to the music, though.]

[He won't bother elaborating on it. Just going to focus on possibly meeting topic.]

Yeah, that would be cool. [Or something. He isn't sure if he would remember to actually give the other a call unless his Electrike is pushy about it.]

I will be sticking around the area for a bit. Have you seen the map? This place is huge. [He's not sure how anyone can get around with just walking.]

Oh yeah, it's crazy! Yeah I probably won't be going anywhere too quick myself, but I have been hearing about these gyms you can challenge...so I wanna train and try to take them on!

[Why would any one want to go to a gym for a challenge?]

...do you take on some muscle-heads? [He just remembers it had something to do with your pokemon.]

I'm not sure, actually! I haven't been to one yet so I wouldn't know..
