veggie_vamp | (1) Video / Action for New Bark Town

[There's a gal with pinkish skin and definitely pink hair, and she's posing with a v-finger hand gesture and a pouted lips. Waits. Waits. Waits...]

Come on! How long does it take for this to take a selfie? I'm already having trouble finding a good Eye-Fi connection...

[ She seems to have a Romanian accent and fangs. The Noibat on her shoulder points with his wing to the red recording button.]

Oh, wait, am I recording? ... Well, I guess a deadblog is as good as anything else! Maybe Spectra can find it and show everyone... I haven't done a real blog recording in forever! Let's see, what's a good way to start...

Okay, hello viewers! This is Draculaura, reporting live from... wherever this is! You will not believing the morning I just had.

So this weird lady is waking me up, and she says she's my mom, except she's obviously not my mom, and then she goes blah blah see the professor, and I was like, Oh My Ghoul, and I late for Home Eek again? Except the professor looked nothing like Mister Rotter, and he goes blah blah blah journey and stuff, but he gave me a cute pet! How nice is that! Say hi, Mister Fancy Pants!

[... The Noibat does't seem pleased at the moniker.]

But then I couldn't find my Icoffin, but I got this cool-looking thing instead, but it doesn't have any fun apps or any of my contacts! Talk about your up and downs!

I guess I should wrap this up, so my dad can come find me or whatever. So thanks for listening! Oh, oh, and a shout-out to all my ghoulfriends! And Clawd! I might be late for our date, totes sorry! Love you!

[And she's instantly distracted because BAT. Noibat is disinterested in all the attention, but the girl is squeeing like there's no tomorrow.]

What a cute big bat! That is one of the coolest ones I've ever seen! Look at those wings, look at that face! He's gorgeous!

[Louis soaks up the attention like a sponge, offering Draculaura a wide, toothy grin while Kaneki continues in vain to try and shove him off.]

T-thank you. He...he certainly likes the attention.

[A bit too much, really.]

Uh...I'm sure that other people have already told you everything they can, so...if you do have any other questions, I can try to answer them.

[He's no expert, but he remembers how confused he was when he first got here.]

[noooo don't shove him off, she's way more interested in him than you. Sorry Kaneki.]

You can tell me where you got that awesome-looking bat! He'd match Mister Fancy Pants perfectly!

Louis?

[He looks up at the Gliscor still draped over him before answering.]

Well...he sortof showed up one weekend in my party when he was still a Gligar...it's a long story. But I know you can catch Gligar in places like the Dark and Union Caves. The Dark Cave isn't very far from New Bark.

Sooo... is there, like, a tour guide when I get there? How much do I tip them?

Tour guide...? There isn't anything like that. Unless you find another trainer to travel with, it will be just you and your Pokemon.

... But, there's, like, a car service, right?

Limos, maybe?

[Her already pale skin is getting, well...]

[YEAH ABOUT THAT...]

No, I'm afraid not...some Pokemon you can fly on, and others are large enough to ride on, but otherwise you'll be on foot.

... On foot.

From one city, to the next cave, and...

[She sinks to her knees. Oh, the horror.]

This is the WORST day out of my whole entire LIFE!

[Kaneki winces, lifting a hand to the side of his face.]

I'm sorry. I wish I could help you more, but once you get to the first town there's nothing saying that you have to keep traveling or anything. And it only takes three days to get from New Bark to Cherrygrove anyway.

But I promised my new friend I'd meet him in a different city!

A-and I lost my vampire powers, so I can't even fly!

New friend?

[He echoes, frowning.]

What city?

[Sniffle sniff.]

Jimmy Darling... Ecruteak, I think. He was really nice.

Hm...Ecruteak is pretty far from New Bark. But...if you want to meet him right away, maybe you could ask if he had any Pokemon that can Fly? Maybe then he could come pick you up.

[Well, assuming he has the right badge to actually use Fly, anyway.]

I don't think so... He probably would have offered if he had it. He seemed like such a sweet guy.

His last name is Darling, after all!

Yeah...you're probably right. The only other thing I can think of for you to do is have him catch an Abra for you, heal it at the Pokemon Center, and then send it to you so you can Teleport straight to Ecruteak. It takes some doing, but I've had it work before.

[He wouldn't suggest it for all traveling, especially since it's pretty restrictive, but it works in a pinch.]

Wait, it can do that? Just like that?

These Pocket things are amazing! I wish other monsters were this convenient!

Yeah. Teleport is the only move Abra can use to start, but it's very useful. You can only Teleport back to the last Pokemon Center it was healed at, though.

Cool!

What's a Pokemon Center?

[guess who wasn't listening to the good prof?]

[...oh boy.]

It's a place you can take your Pokemon to have them healed if they are injured in battle. They all have red roofs, so they're hard to miss.

Awww, that's so nice! But don't you worry, I won't ever let anything or anyone ever hurt my widdle batty watty!

[... oh boy indeed]

[...]

You read the handbook in your bag, right? Or listened to the professor...?

[...or to anyone who has responded to this so far...]

Oh, right, I haven't really checked the bag yet, I was kind of focusing on my selfies first.

And that professor was like a total weirdo, I told him I needed to get to class, but then he showed me Mister Fancy Pants, and I was like Oh My Ghoul, he's so cute, and I was thinking about what kind of hat or cute ribbon would look good on him, and then I figured I should check out the local fashion boutiques...

[She's speaking a million works a minute, your average chatty teenager. on crack.]

[Oh my god, honey, remember to breathe.]

A-ah...well, what he was telling you is pretty important. But...you can read more about it in the handbook, I guess...

Well, I've never been much good at studying, but I guess I can give this a try. It can distract me from all that walking!
