Thirteenth Song || Video/Action for Violet City-ers

[restardom]

Guys. You guys. [ Rise is in the Pokémon center and having trouble juggling her armful of pokéballs + Gloom + PokéGear, but somehow she's managing. Barely. ] I can't believe I forgot to say this sooner, but we've got to get to Goldenrod for this contest where you catch bugs and you can win stones and one of them could make Himiko even cuter--

[restardom]

I'm positive! I saw it with my own eyes!

[restardom]

Really cute-- I mean, it was... green, and it had these big red flowers on its head and a leaf skirt. I think it was called... um...

... Bellossom?

[video] I need to stop forgetting that

[kungfumaniac]

[did someone say free steak???

but 'bug catching contest' is pretty much in the same sentence. CHOICES.]

What is with this world and it's annoying obsession with bugs? [that wasn't a straight out 'No' at least.]

[video] I do the same thing all the time XD

[restardom]

The baby spider was actually kind of cute for something creepy-crawly...

But you'll help me out, right?

[video]

[kungfumaniac]

A spider's still a spider no matter how 'cute' it is.

You'll really pay me back? Like with food? [...] Or an egg from the ranch?

[video]

[restardom]

... Yep. I'll pay for the egg myself.

[And here's Athrun, heading towards you at a quick pace.]

Damn, which one's her Poké Ball?

Action

[restardom]

[ Athrun my hero ]

Um--! I think it's the one near the counter!

Action

[shieldofjustice]

[Athrun grabs the Poké Ball and goes for the handoff. Once Rise has it, he'll take over trying to hold Kanzeon back.]

Action

[restardom]

[ Kanzeon's hissing up a storm now and trying to lunge at people, but with pokéball in hand, Rise's quickly recalling her. ]

... I probably should have let her work out all that energy earlier. T-thanks.

[foolishwren]

Aw, I guess I'll have missed you. I'll see you in Azalea, though, I'm sure.

.... Wait.

Bug-catching contest?

[INTERESTED HEATHER IS INTERESTED.]

[restardom]

Definitely! I want to see your baby in person!

... Oh. From what I heard, there's this place just past Goldenrod, and they hold this contest to win stones. Even if you don't win, you probably get to keep the last one you caught.

[foolishwren]

[Screw stones, Heather's interested in the BUGS part. She wasn't a fanatic or anything, but one t hing that had sort of carried over from her past life was a fondness for insects.]

Dude. If we're both in Goldenrod at the same time, we totally should go. How far away is Goldenrod, anyway?

[restardom]

Ummm... probably at least two weeks. But you've got yourself a deal~!

[Video]

[10yen_idol]

Eh? Rise, you're leaving Violet?

[Video]

[restardom]

Yeah, I think I've been here long enough. [ post-Kanzeon ]

[Video]

[10yen_idol]

And... stones can help Pokemon evolve? [It sounds a little farfetched, but Yayoi instantly believes Rise because... well, Yayoi.]

Um, um, what will Himiko turn into!?

[Video]

[restardom]

She'll turn into a flower-like hula dancer!
