amiroll | FIRST ♥ VIDEO / ACTION FOR NEW BARK

[Is Johto ready? Because there are two ladies on the gear today, situated in a very familiar place. The first girl, a young brunette, is staring down into the camera. She’s figured it out already. The second girl sits behind her on the porch of mom’s house, staring down at her own Pokégear. She has blue hair, and she presses a button every ten seconds or so, very slowly. She has no idea how it works. She’s the first to speak up.]

Are you sure this is a telephone, Futami-san?

Ne, Chihaya-oneechan! Ami knows it’s a phone, and more! It’s the key to our success!

[Chihaya stares down at her gear some more, then slowly looks up at Ami.] The key...? Is this supposed to unlock something, too? [Ami does a sagelike nod, as if she had all the answers already. In truth, she’s pretty much just improvising.] It’s our main menu! It’s necessary on our epic travels. Without it, how will we get cute alternate outfits?

What are you talking about...? [Her voice trails off as she reaches for her bag. Resting on top of it is a ridiculous pink raincoat. It doesn’t look like something Chihaya would usually wear.] Are you talking about this? [There are even boots.]

Ufufufu~ Of course that’s what Ami’s talking about! [Actually, it just kind of worked out conveniently.] Take a look at Ami’s! Super Sexy Style! [Ami fumbles into her own bag, whipping out a children’s play outfit, complete with a yellow hardhat.] E-Eh?! This isn’t sexy at all!

[Chihaya can’t help but snicker a little at that, quietly. Behind her hand.] I don’t think either of these outfits are very suitable, Futami-san...

No fair! Now Ami looks unsexy for the camera![Ami places her hands to her head, shaking it around indignantly.]

[Wait, what. Chihaya looks up at her, a bit horrified.] E-eh? Your phone is filming, Futami-san? P-please, turn it off! Does this thing even have a camera in it...?

Geez, Chihaya-oneechan, Ami didn’t know you were so bashful! It makes me wonder how you’ll react when you find the camera in your dressing room.. [And, with a mischievous cackle and one more horrified look from Chihaya, the feed ends. The cackle, however, lives on forever into eternity. ...Of course, the cackle might nearby for some. Ami and Chihaya are in New Bark Town. Ami can be found exploring the area around Chihaya with her Mime Jr., whereas Chihaya can be found seated in one place, trying to figure out her Pokégear while a Minun sleeps on her lap.. She’s not going to ask for help, but both are free to be bothered!]

Chihaya-san! Chihaya-saaaa~n!! It's me! It's Yayoi!! Uuu~, when did you get here!?

Just today, actually—

[Oh. Hmm. Is it supposed to open? Oh, wait, no, it's pointing at the ground. She thinks? Wait a second. There we go. It's an awkward angle, but Chihaya thinks the camera's pointing up at her now.]

I arrived with Futami-san.

That mean you're in New Bark Town, right? I'm so happy to see you again!! How's everyone else? What Pokemon did you get!? -- ah, Chihaya-san, you just need to tilt it a little more to the right...

Like this? [BRB, tilting it too far right.]

Futami-san and Kikuchi-san seem to be enjoying themselves. And I have a Minun. [...Short answers, yep. But realizing she's talking to Yayoi...] Would you like to meet him? Minun, that is.

Ah, um, a-a little more to the left!

Minun...? Oh! You mean the blue Pikachus, right? I'd love to see him!

Blue...Pikachu? [She gets the camera right on her face, but now she has to turn it to her new partner. This will be an effort in of itself. Have some blurry footage of Minun on her lap. He's asleep.] Are there more of them, Yayoi?

Uwaaah~... he's so cute...!

-- um, hundreds more, I think! I kind of lost count after the first fifty... I mean, there's a crab one, and a rock train, and a duck, and mice and cats and dogs and flowers and beef and pork...

There's that many? I never would have guessed. Which kind do you have, Takatsuki-san?

A lot of them, but- um, let me show you!!

[ Yayoi fumbles for one of her Pokeballs, and the viewscreen quickly becomes... completely blotted out by something brown and furry. ]

Here's my Mamoswine!

You have more than one? [She remembers reading about that.] How many?

[And then there's...something brown and furry.] ...Takatsuki-san? Are you still there?

Um- twelve! Or was it eleven? - ah, sorry, she's too close to the camera again...

[ And- Yayoi backs up, revealing the huge shaggy tusked pig-mammoth in all her eight-full tall glory! As if providing a sense of scale, it's from Yayoi's point of view, so the thing looms even LARGER- ]

Chihaya, this is Yukiho! Yukiho, say hi to Chihaya-san!

Y-Yukiho?!

[Chihaya yelps and drops her gear and scrambles to pick it back up. That thing looks like it eats Yayois for breakfast.]

I-Is that her name, Takatsuki-san? Is she safe?

Ah, don't worry! Yukiho's PERFECTLY safe! She wouldn't even hurt a fly! [ just... going to leave out the countless battles she's used Yukiho in ] Here-

[ And the camera shifts a whole lot as Yayoi clambers up onto the Mamoswine's back ] See?

[That's...actually kind of impressive. Chihaya nods.]

Why did you name her that, though?

Ah...

U-Um, she kind of reminded me of Yukiho-san when she was small- ah, when my Pokemon was small, not Yukiho-san herself! I mean, Yukiho- my Pokemon- always liked to dig, and she was really shy- um, Yukiho-san was, too, and...

[ Yayoi trails off. H-HOW WILL SHE KEEP BOTH YUKIHOS STRAIGHT ]
