(2) Video / Action for Violet City

[veggie_vamp]

Okay, you got it, Pop?

[A 'floon, floon' from an unseen Drifloon replies, as it is holding the device.]

Great! Okay, second deadblog, starting now! This is Draculara, live from Violet City!

[With a Noibat to her left and a Zubat to her right, the vampire holds up hand-made pompoms, made out of leaves and flowers painted black and pink.]

So while I was fanging out here in the city, I was totes worried I would be behind on my Fearleading practice. So I made these! And then I got a brilliant idea! I heard about these Gym things, and how I need a badge and stuff if I want to fly around. It's sooo hard! I wished my ghoulfriends were here to cheer me on... and I realized I could do that for other people!

Once I can fly, you can ask me to come to where you are, and I'll cheer for your matches! The Fearleading squad I'm in back home won Monster Mashinals, so I've got real talent! I can make you and your monsters feel totes pumped and ready to win! We've already got a routine down!

[She clears her throat, and as she moves around, shaking her 'pom-pom's, the bats flap around with similar motions.]

You've come so far, you've done so well,
And your type match is super swell!
You're a trained Trainer, you're a trained Trainer,
And this battle is a real no-brainer!
Go, Pokemon, go!

[She performs a split on the ground, still shaking those poms.]

Not a bad idea, kid! Lotta folks around here could use a good cheering!

_{[You're one of them, Ralph. You don't have a single badge.]}

[video]

[veggie_vamp]

Heehee! Thanks so much, Ralphie!

[That's your nickname now.]

[video]

[rocketralph]

_{[He's had worse.]}

Who knows, you could start a whole movement!

[video]

[veggie_vamp]

Me? really? I don't know... Frankie and Cleo usually came up with most of the cheers.

[video]

[rocketralph]

If you get enough folks excited, I'll bet they'll start coming up with their own cheers. You could collaborate.

Say, how'd Halloween treat ya?

[video]

[veggie_vamp]

Oh, that's a fangtastic idea!

As for Halloween... My new friend Joshua got me some pretty dye, so I used a little bit on each of my little monsters, and we hit the town!

[Monster Mashinals. He loves this kid.]

Hey, that's great! Talent like yours, I bet you'll have different chants for people taking on every Gym in no time. End of the month, tops.

[Video]

[veggie_vamp]

You'd make me blush, if I could!

But I'm not sure. I mean, usually my ghoulfriends Frankie and Cleo came up with the cheers, I just followed along.

[Video]

[ratherbelocky]

Well, you came up with that one all on your own, didn't you?

[Video]

[veggie_vamp]

True, but it's just one... you really think I could do all of them?

[Video]

[ratherbelocky]

Hey now, there's, what. Sixteen all together? I bet you could, just takes some research.

[Video]

[veggie_vamp]

Well, homework's never been my specialty... but I guess I do have a lot of time to kill.

[Video]

[ratherbelocky]

There you go, that's the spirit. Besides, don't think of it as homework, that's the fastest way to take all the fun out of something.

[embezzling]

[ The spooky puns are too much. ]

Is fearleading like cheerleading? Do you... Make monsters more likely to effectively jump outta a closet or something?

[ bc that sounds hella weird. you've lost him. ]

video;

[veggie_vamp]

[She giggles.]

No way! It's supposed to encourage you to really put your spirit into what you're doing!

video;

[embezzling]

I guess that makes sense. Are you just gonna follow people around the Gyms, or are ya gonna pick one to stick around at?

Could make some money offering moral support... [ stan pleaSE. ]

video;

[veggie_vamp]

I haven't decided yet! I want to have my own gym battle before I decide. That way, I know exactly what and how to cheer for, and how to encourage everyone!

[embezzling]

Sounds like a decent strategy for a kid. Go for it.

How's that egg I gave you comin' along?

video;

[veggie_vamp]

Oh, it's in my bag! I wanted to make sure it was super extra comfortable, so I stuffed it with all the warmest clothing I could buy.

[shatterings]

Fearleading?

[ It takes her a moment, then it clicks. ]

Oh! Like... cheerleading?

[veggie_vamp]

Is that what your normies call it?

[shatterings]

Normies? [ So many new words...!! ] I... think so, yes.

[veggie_vamp]

Then we're good! It's supposed to really bring out your spirit so you can do your best!

this was supposed to be video WHOOPS my bad

[shatterings]

[ She really seems to have this figured out. Naminé smiles and nods. ]

I think you're doing a wonderful job.

no worries!

[veggie_vamp]

Aw, thank you so much! The normies here as sooo beyond nice!
