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!]

Hibiki would be a lot better at it than me. [ thinking about it, makoto can't help but think hibiki would probably be unstoppable. ] But don't worry, if you need any help with anything, just ask!

[ she stares at the minun again for a bit, turning her head to the other side. ] Haha, yeah, he looks more like Hamuzou than Miki... [ though she definitely still thinks there's some resemblance. probably all the yellow. ]

You know karate, though, don't you? I think Producer-san might have mentioned that... [Or maybe it was Kotori. She doesn't remember. It fits her image either way.] Let's both do our best together.

[She thinks for a second about stroking behind one of his ears, but nope. She has no idea how to take care of an animal. She'll have to ask Azusa or Yayoi.] What kind of partner did you receive?

Aikido! [ she feels the need to correct her, even if it doesn't really make much of a difference. ] Eheh, so Producer mentioned that? [ that's both embarrassing and... well, no, mostly just embarrassing. ]

This guy! [ she turns back to her ralts again, whose happily flopped back on the ground again. not the most motivated of pokemon, but... ] I've got a lot of work ahead of me...

Akido? Is that what it's called? I'm sorry. [She wouldn't have remembered that.] He did, once, on the phone. I couldn't help but overhear.

[Or is that sometimes people just don't notice Chihaya standing there? Either way...what is that thing?] Kikuchi-san, are you sure that's a boy...?

I can show you how it works a little. It might help with your training. [ that is probably a terrible, terrible idea. ]

[ she looks at the ralts again, before nodding. ] I wasn't sure at first, but that's what my Pokedex says.

[It really, really is. She can't really bring herself to say no, though, so she gives a noncommittal answer.] I wouldn't mind seeing it sometime, no. [Sometime.]

What's his name? He looks...unique. [She means that in the nicest way.]

Alright! I'll show you. Maybe once we're on the road.

I actually haven't decided yet. [ she made a bit deal about it to someone else, so now she's kind of psyched herself out a bit... ] Do you have any ideas? I want it to be a good one...
