(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.]

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!

[shatterings]

Everyone one is very kind... How long have you been here?

[veggie_vamp]

Um... a month, I think?

[shatterings]

Have you... settled in okay? I know it can be difficult to get used to... um, not that I'm doubting you, or anything.

[veggie_vamp]

Well, I'm still missing the internet like crazy, along with my boyfriend and all my ghoulfriends, and my dad, and my school, my closet, shopping malls...

Buuut! I'm determined to make the best of it!

[shatterings]

Well... Goldenrod City and Celadon City both have very large department stores. I think you might like those, if you like shopping.

[veggie_vamp]

Oh yeah, I totes heard about those! Once I can Fly, I'm going to hit them up and go on a shopping spree!

[shatterings]

I hope you can visit them soon. Oh-- I'm Naminé.

[veggie_vamp]

I'm Draculaura! It's so nice to meet you!

[shatterings]

It's nice to meet you, too, Draculaura. Did you... start with Noibat, or Zubat?

[veggie_vamp]

Noibat! Though I call him Mister Fancy Pants. I caught Eye Candy here just a little while ago.

[shatterings]

Eye Candy... [ She laughs quietly. ] I've... never heard such creative names.

[veggie_vamp]

I've got names for all my monster friends! There's also Ditty Kitty, Crow-Moe, Pop, Tonguestem, and coming soon, Stan Junior!

[shatterings]

Ditty Kitty... what Pokémon is that?

[veggie_vamp]

I'll show you!

[She takes off her bag, takes out a Pokeball, and one classic opening noise later, a very quiet Espurr stands on her foot.]

Isn't it adorable?

[shatterings]

Oh! An Espurr! Um...

[ Naminé motions for something off-camera to come closer, and soon enough, there are two Meowstic standing in the frame. Staring. ]

This is its evolved form. A friend gave me her male Meowstic, but... Ellie was the first Pokémon I caught.

[veggie_vamp]

[Draculaura gasps, and picks up Ditty.]

Oh My Ghoul, they look so great! Look, ditty Kitty, that's you when you grow up!

[Ditty... just... stares...]

[shatterings]

[ ... and Hope and Ellie just stare back. ]

The mostly white one is female--Ellie--and the one mostly blue is male--Hope.

[veggie_vamp]

Awww, those are lovely names too! You're good at this!

[shatterings]

[ She blushes. ]

I named Ellie, but Lightning named Hope. And... I couldn't imagine naming him anything else.

[veggie_vamp]

It's a perfectly good name, after all.

[shatterings]

Mm-hmm. I like yours, too. Ditty Kitty... it's so cute.
