002 | VIDEO/ACTION FOR GOLDENROD
Good day, citizens of Kanto and Johto!
[The intro is heroic as fuck, and the pose is suitably dramatic, but the setting is... well, it's outside a pastry shop. It is hard to look suitably heroic outside of a pastry shop.
...furthermore, only two of her Pokemon are backing her up --- a Rufflet, who is also attempting to LOOK COOL with his wings spread and a rather small, young-looking Ponyta, who is attempting a clumsy Cool Equestrian Pose but is failing at it even harder than the Rufflet and his trainer. A Zebstrika is trying to hide outside the frame, while a Murkrow is eating an eclair in abject boredom]
I hope you're all doing well on this extra special day, because I am doing spectacular! ...I mean, I didn't come up with something extra special for my dramatic appearance because I think all of us could maybe use a little more practice, but we've got all the time in the world!
...though, actually, I kind of have a question about that for people who've been around here for a while! How do you go about building up a Pokemon's confidence, exactly...? Thunderhoof here ---
[--- she brohugs her now mortified-looking Zebstrika into the frame ---]
--- has always been a little on the skittish side, which, you know, I understand! ...I guess! She doesn't seem like she has a problem when the going gets rough, but she's a little... shy, I guess? I thought that she'd be a little more confident when she evolved into a super cool big electric horse that I could probably actually ride, but she hasn't actually changed all that much! I dunno, I guess I'm a little worried... not too worried, but if anyone has advice, I'd like to hear it!
Also, does anyone else want to get some pastries today? Because I want to get some pastries today, on this glorious 14th of May!

Extra special day?
[Extra special like what? He's going to regret asking, isn't he?]
voice
voice
Hm.
[Dare he even say it? Two months ago, he wouldn't have.]
We share birthdays, then.
voice
Do you want to get some pastries, then? ...wait, where even are you at?
voice
[Blessedly.
...Part of him would like something, though. He hasn't gotten a birthday present in well over ten years. Not that he deserves one, but...]
voice
voice
You... don't have to get me anything.

...So, what flavors do you like?
voice
What... kinds are there?
[Because everything is weird here, and that probably includes the flavors of pastries.]
voice
voice
[God, he hopes nobody he knows is listening in on this...]
voice
voice
voice
...oh, and where are you? I can probably have one of my Pokemon deliver it to you, since two of them are birds and all.
voice
[Wait, he has to check the weird electric map thing that his hands are too big to navigate.]
36.
voice
...Be careful, though. He might want to battle your Pokemon on his own...
voice
[This is easily one of the weirdest conversations Scar's had in a while. A rather sad thought, considering that it is probably also the most normal.]
voice
voice
I will.
