009 | Video | Forward dated to 2/17

[Jimmy isn't an uncommon presence on the Network, but it's actually been a while since he's posted a video of any kind. Today when the feed flickers on he can be seen sitting cross-legged on the edge of a bed in a hotel room with a Quilava draped bodily over his shoulder. Even after evolving, Fahren seems to have remained as clingy as ever and doesn't plan on leaving any time soon. Judging by the sound of hailstones clattering against the roof in the background, that likely means it's going to be another stay-in-with-your-fire-types (and electric dog, who is permanently glued to Jimmy's side regardless) kind of day, but that doesn't make Jimmy any less excited. Today is pretty special, after all.]

Would you guys believe it if I told you that it's been a whole year today since I first got here? It doesn't really feel like it's been that long already...but at the same time, it's like I've been here forever.

[He lifts a hand to pet the side of Fahren's face when the Pokemon turns to nuzzle his head into his neck with a yawn.]

There's also another thing I realized a couple months back, sometime last year. I've seen lotsa people here have birthdays and stuff, but I actually can't remember when mine is. I think...maybe it might've been sometime around now?

But since I don't really know, I'm just gonna say it's today, since I've been here a year. [He grins brightly and leans back a little, showing his ever present gap-tooth.] So I'm sixteen now! I was thinkin' bout going outside to do something for it, but the weather is pretty bad...but that's alright! I don't mind stayin' inside so much, 'specially since it's so cold.

[He lowers the Gear, which shows a clearer shot of the rest of his bed. His Manectric is there stretched out on his side, and taking up the entire rest of he bed is Inferno the resident flame moth acting as the fuzziest heated blanket on the planet.]

Anyways, I hope everybody had a good Valentine's this weekend! I had a whole lot of fun and even met some new people! And ate a whoole lotta chocolate, too.

[With another small laugh he ends the feed there.]

[Jimmy snickers, shaking his head.]

Nah, I don't! I feel like it was prolly around this time, though. Sometime when it was snowing, I'm pretty sure...

You know you don't have to get me anything, but I really do appreciate it anyways! I couldn't decide if I wanted it to be today or some other day for a long time, but then I figured doing it like this would be easier.

Well maybe I want to get you something cause you're my friend!

_{[SO THERE.]}

I guess it's a kind of birthday, anyway. Like ... it's your pokémon birthday. So it's not like you're wrong or anything.

Haha yeah, exactly! It's my pokémon birthday!

[That's a good way to put it, in his opinion.]

But I've never celebrated my own birthday before...Lucy had one, but his are kinda different.

[Different in that he makes the entire town give him presents.]

That's so weird. Everybody should celebrate their birthday.

You're gonna do something, right? Like ... order a huge cake. It's not a proper birthday unless you have cake!

I might! I spent a whole lot of money on all that chocolate I got...so a cake might have to wait.

Oh yeah, thank you so much! It was super tasty. And really cute.

I tried to show Aria that they looked like her but she just ate the one I was shwoing her.

Pfffhaha, sounds like she liked it! You're welcome though, I'm glad you liked them.

I hope you liked yours, too!

I only ate chocolate that day.

_{[Or close enough to only, anyway. Livin the 11-year-old dream.]}

I really did! I think if I eat any more chocolate I'm gonna explode.

Glad t'hear you had a good one though, Molly. So where are you right now?

I'm in Violet! I've been here a while now.

Oh, I tried the gym yesterday. I lost, but I think my pokémon liked it anyway.

Don't worry, you'll get it eventually! You just gotta train up a little more, that's all. Falkner has all flying type Pokemon, so your best bet is gonna be rock or electric. But if you don't have any of those, s'long as you've got something that isn't weak to flying, you'll be fine!

Yeah! Shaun's been helping me train. I didn't really think I'd win but I thought I'd try because you never know, right? That's what everybody says anyway.

Scott's doing really well. He evolved, he's all pink now.

Of course! Just keep trying and you'll win eventually!

That's awesmazing! Beezy hasn't evolved yet, but he's still as red as he was when I first got him. I wonder if he'll change colors too...

You should tell me if he does!

_{[And let's backtrack a bit.]}

Are you still in Goldenrod?

Ah, nahh, I just left a while ago, actually! Me and Joker are here in Ecruteak right now, but we'll prolly be heading back soon when the next show happens. How come?

Well, you asked me and I didn't ask you back and it's polite.

_{[That is really just teasing.]}

I made another friend who's in Goldenrod so I thought I could visit you both at once if you're still there when I get there. I just wanted to check!

[That causes Jimmy to brighten even more almost immediately, gasping softly.]

Oh! I would love that, Molly! You'll have to call me when you get there, okay?

[Legit, he will take the day and fly back just to see you, don't think he won't.]

_{[.. oh, yay! She hadn't expected exactly that kind of reaction, but she smiles sunnily back at him.]}

Okay, I promise!

I'm really excited to go there. It's gonna be so much fun!

I think you'll really like it there! It's such a big city, so there's a whole lot of stuff to do.

Yeah! I've only ever lived in big cities. It's a little weird how small these towns are. I mean, it's not bad, but it's weird.

Everything gets so quiet.

I know what you mean. I've always lived in a city, too. I mean, there are forests 'round Miseryville, but they're on the edge of town.

[Ah, that...might be the first time he's let slip the name of home to Molly, but he doesn't seem to have caught that he did.]

_{[... well, Molly certainly catches it, and it shows in an immediate frow.]}

Is it really called Miseryville?

[It takes a moment to register, but when it does Jimmy's eyebrows raise a bit. He hesitates, at a loss for words for a very brief moment.]

Yeah, yeah it is!

[...]

I haven't really told you a whole bunch about home, have I?

Nuh uh.

_{[She shakes her head, now very curious and also kind of ... confused. Concerned, maybe? What kind of place would get called that?]}

It's not really miserable, is it?

[Jimmy never minds talking about Miseryville, not really. In fact, he loves telling people about home! Even knowing what he does now...he doesn't feel the need to make the conversation private.

But at the same time, what would have been unbridled excitement is a bit more subdued.]

It's supposed to be. Y'see, Miseryville is run by a guy named Lucius, who is like the mayor of the town. His job is to make sure that everybody living in Miseryville is as miserable as possible. It's always hot and it can be pretty dangerous...but honestly, it really isn't all that bad.

[And usually, once Jimmy starts naming people from home, whoever he's talking to begins to catch on.]
