One Seed ✿ Route 29 ✿ Video

[The screen fizzles into a view of the clear sky, before wobbling down to show the uncertain face of a brown-haired woman. The realization that she's finally turned on the gear makes her start, before she manages a polite smile.]

Excuse me- I'm sorry to broadcast like this, when I won't know anyone who answers- At least, I assume not... But I'm uncertain how I came here.

The books I have explain what I'm expected to do very well, but I'm afraid I have my own responsibilities to see to. I just arrived back home, before I was, pulled here...

[She looks off to the side, though whether she's focusing on the buildings of New Bark Town or the surrounding forest is hard to say.]

It's too bad I didn't find this place, when I was out on my journey... The land seems very fertile. And blooms such curious creatures.

[That brings on a brief show of cheer among her worrying, focused down at something at her feet. There's the unmistakable call of a Pokémon- And the call shorts out.]

That would be the way to manage it, wouldn't it...

[Eventually her muse breaks up, and she smiles with a "back to the point" shift.]

Either way! I can learn from raising the plants of this world, and perhaps even practice sales a little!

[Ken smiles.]

Ah - yeah....there's much to learn.

That Pokémon, though...it isn't all plant.

[Just. Mostly? Partially? Either way, he doubts you'll treat it poorly.]

I would think not - another land or not, no plant could move or speak in this way.

I assumed, she's a very smart creature, mimicking a plant?

[Yes/No?]

Well...

[How to explain this. But he didn't contact a newcomer for nothing - he wants to help!]

It's more - she's a creature, but she's also a plant. A plant that's gained sentience, like you or myself.

If possible, think of and treat her as both.

I can do that- I suppose. I'm certainly used to looking after plants. But, for the other half...

[A jokingly sheepish smile.]

I best not base my human care on my younger brother.

Ah - well....

[Nervous laughter; as the little brother whose elder sibling didn't always do 100% right by him, he's not sure how to take this but positive you didn't mean anything by it.]

It's clear you already care for your Pokémon. That's the most important step.

[-whoops, did she say something strange? Ah, maybe she shouldn't reference home like that, when he doesn't know the details...]

Very much. But she's pretty easy to like. I just hope I can learn to understand her, like she already does me...

It's - an adjustment. But she'll help you. As will others....

Johto's a very - cooperative place.

[And he wouldn't be nearly as okay with getting dragged here for who knows what reason if it weren't.]

That sounds, perfect... And certainly encourages me to find more new friends, plants or not!

[She's turned to look down at that bud on the ground.]

What do you say? Shall we find more "Pokémon" to join you?

[...why's the answering "dew" so uncertain, hmm?]

[Ken smiles, mostly now to encourage the Budew.]

Ah...they might find you. You never know.

But it's exciting to see what will happen next.

Yes, and there's no telling what that might be...

I almost don't want to ask for much help, because it might ruin the surprise!

[Ken chuckles a little.]

It is surprising, isn't it? But in a positive way. There's always something new to see.

So I've seen! These roads, and the life growing here. The Pokémon I've spotted... I almost want to rush, just to see what the next town is like!

But, since I thought of it... We can rent rooms and space to live, can't we?

Can... we rent a space of land, as well?

[He's grinning along, having also appreciated that aspect of the adventure, until that question throws him for a loop.]

--I haven't tried. But if you spoke to the owner, maybe...

It'd be worth investigating.

Yes, I can't exactly farm without a place to plant what I find...

But, I'm getting ahead of myself! I need to find seeds first, and the money for rent and supplies!

[Ken nods.]

The first proper city's two towns over. Though, for planting, perhaps Cherrygrove's more suitable....

[He went through in the winter, so he can't be certain.]

Cherrygrove... Is that the first town I'll find on this road? Thank you, I'll have to take a look around! Perhaps I can compare it to the places I'll travel to afterwards, and come back if it suits best...

[Ken nods - that's a good plan.]

Best of luck.

Thank you!

I hope I can return the advice some day.
