[Video / Action for National Park]

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

[Well someone's looking a bit smug right now. The camera turns to show a male Combee eating his way through a small pile of Berries.]

I got third place in the Bug Catching Contest with this guy. All I had to do was ask the Pokémon if any of them would be okay with me catching them just until the end of the contest and then letting them go, and this guy offered to come with me. He never even needed to get hurt to get caught and now he wants to travel with me for a while instead of going back to his home. See? Some Pokémon will come with you if you just ask. You don't have to fight them all the time.

[The camera turns back to Apollo's slightly less smug face. He holds up the Sitrus Berry he won.]

I won this. It's supposed to heal better than an Oran Berry, so it sounds like they'd be good to collect, but has anyone seen these growing anywhere? None of the Pokémon with me have seen them before.

Yay.

[Fluttershy doesn't get any of that smugness, because she's an okay person in his mind.]

He's pretty friendly. I'm surprised he wanted to come with me though. Bees usually like to stay with their hive.

[she's enthusiastic for him, really. she just doesn't show it well.]

The Pokemon here are very different from usual animals... but this is so wonderful, for the both of you. I'm so happy.

[extremelycute]

Booooring. That's way too boring. Super boring.

[Video] Why do I feel like this conversation won't turn out well?

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

What's boring?

[video] I should apologize in advance for Miu. 1/2

[extremelycute]

[And, in her cutest voice, with a cute face:] "Hey, hey, Pokémon-chan, would you like to be my friend?" "Ah, yes, yes, I would, old man~! Let's never fight~!"

[video]

[extremelycute]

That part.

[kougameleon]

Bug Catching? There is such a game?

[Video]

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

Yeah. Apparently it's every... "Thursday" at the National Park north of Goldenrod City. I was passing through and heard about it.

[kougameleon]

...such an interesting world this is. Must be easier than gym fighting.

[viiru2alert]

The Pokémon Whisperer, ladies and gentlemen.

[ brb laughing. ]

[Video]

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

I don't know what that is.

[Also laughing.]

[usedshooshpap]

Thank you for stating the fucking obvious.

[Video]

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

It seems like I need to say it since no one else tries asking.

[The first thing to pop up on the screen is a Serperior who gives Apollo a long, hard stare...

And then bursts into a fit of laughter. Does he even know how this world works? Trainers are supposed to catch Pokémon and battle them! Hahaha. Hehehe.

...yeah, she's one of those aggressive types.

Of course, Riku's quick to swipe the 'Gear from her, and he doesn't look particularly impressed either.]

And some Pokémon will try to tear your face off. Besides, where's the challenge if you just ask them to tag along?

[Video]

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

That's normal for some animals. I've had to deal with them before. If they win I die, if I win, they die. It's just how things work. [He definitely doesn't sound at all concerned about that.]

Why do you need a challenge?

[video]

[aidolmaster]

... I tried that with a bird, but it went for my eyes.

[Video]

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

I guess it didn't want to come with you. [Is he going for humor here? There's no way to tell. Either way he has no real concern for your plight.]

I guess you fought it off then? [Said with the expectation that yes, of course she did, and he would have done the same.]

[video]

[marimbagirl]

[...pardon her, she's just staring at that berry for a few seconds before speaking.]

No... I've kept a sharp eye out for any berries, and I've never seen that one before!

But, there's a lot of this world I haven't seen, so I'd be happy to know if someone's spotted it before, too!

[Video]

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

It has to grow somewhere. Maybe it's from somewhere far away. I think I'll hold on to it and try to plant it somewhere if I can't find any plants already growing. It would be good to have some more around.

[howamanlives]

Fighting is how humans and Pokemon share their spirit!

[Video]

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

What does that even mean?

[positivelynormal]

Th-That's amazing! You can talk to the pokemon and they can understand you perfectly?! You must have a great advantage here!!

video;

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

[Slightly smugly.] They can't tell me human words, but that usually isn't a problem. I don't know if that gives me any advantage here or not.
