[ The journal feed opens up to the sound of a large splash, at least, before the voice of a young boy speaks up. It's obvious that he doesn't know what he's doing, especially since Ash himself doesn't seem to have noticed the journal.. yet. ]Guess we must've fallen down that hill, huh.. but that's okay, Pikachu! Since we're gonna be headin' to

[Yellow's just sitting here by the fountain with her Pokémon--a Pikachu, Dodrio, and Raticate--when SUDDENLY ASH MAKES THAT GIANT SPLASH and Yellow gets absolutely soaked. Jeez Ash, what are you? Shamu?! Sucks to be in the splash zone. In any case! Yellow jumps once the cold water gets dumped on her.]

W-waaaaah...! W-what just... [Turning around to face the fountain, she spots Ash inside of it with... another Pikachu?] H-hey, are you okay?!

[action]

[nicepartner]

[Ash first looks at Yellow, then at Pikachu, and then back at Yellow. If only he were riding a Rapidash.]

No need'ta worry, I'm fine! Just wet. [And he'll be grinning from ear to ear.]

[action]

[moehealer]

[IT'S OKAY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO RIDE A DODRIO? WITH OXY CLEAN, YOU GET ONE FREE THREE-HEADED OSTRICH. FOR FREE.

Wow that's a big grin! Yellow smiles back.] O-oh.. Um, okay! But it's really cold out, so you could end up getting sick like that. [...Wait, those clothes... He's gotta be a new feather, right?] If you want, I'll take you over to the clothing store so you can get some dry ones.

[She can explain where he is on the way, too. But first... gotta make sure he doesn't get sick!]

[action]

[nicepartner]

[Three heads for the price of none? That's amazing! Ash will jump right out of the fountain, still smiling, and say:]

Sure! I'm Ash, by the way, and this's Pikachu. [Who gives his usual Pika-greeting!]

[action] itt: how many times I can possibly use the name "Pikachu" in one tag.

[moehealer]

[Yep! You may even get a Shamwow with it!]

Okay! I'll just lead the way, Ash! And it's nice to meet you too, Pikachu! [Just gonna give him a little pat.] I have a Pikachu too, actually. Her name is Chuchu though. [She gestures toward the Pikachu beside her.] A good friend of mine also has one, and its name is Pika.

[..Hey, if he has a Pikachu, maybe..] What region are you from, Ash?

[action]

[nicepartner]

[A Shamwow? Not a Shampow?]

Okay, got it! [And at the pettings, Pikachu squeals a little bit happily!] Oh... it's nice 't meet'cha too, Chuchu!

And I'm from Kanto. Pallet Town, actually.

[action]

[moehealer]

[Oh. Nevermind. Both!]

[Yellow gives Pikachu a big smile in response to his reaction. So cuuute. He seems really happy~! When Ash responds though, Yellow looks at him, confused.]

Eh? Really? [Hmm.] Do you happen to know Red or Green then? [If not, then maybe...]

[action]

[nicepartner]

I don't know anyone named Red or Green. [And Pikachu likes smiles! He's very friendly!]

[action]

[moehealer]

Huh... In that case, do you know of a boy named Gary?

[If he doesn't know Red or Green and he's from Pallet Town... well, then he's gotta know Gary, right? After all, Pallet Town's pretty small.]

[action]

[nicepartner]

Gary? [There's a slight pause as he says that, as if trying to remember something, but-] Of course I know him!

He's a really good friend of mine!

[action]

[moehealer]

[Oh. Huh. That explains that then. ...Oh hey, didn't Gary describe a guy who fits Ash perfectly? Nooow everything makes sense. Got it.]

Oh, really? That's good to hear! [That he's a friend of Gary's.] It's a lot easier for people to adapt here if they have people they know. And, well.. Gary's here too! I met him when he first got here, just like you.

[action]

[nicepartner]

Really? [Ash's grin widens even more, maybe he's just too excited. Make that.. over-excited.] That's great!

[action]

[moehealer]

[An enthusiastic nod.]

Yep! I haven't seen him in a while, but he's here!

[action]

[nicepartner]

Eheh. I'll be really happy to see him again! It's been a while since I've seen him to begin with.
