004 [video/action--backdated to earlier this evening]

[complexrestart]

[Rika looks a little confused.] ...I've seen a lot of balloons floating around today. I think they must be a type of pokémon, but they're a really strange type if that's the case. [She smiles a little. The pokégear is focused on her face, but there's a slightly visible Drifloon behind her. Rika begins to walk, and the pokémon follows close behind her, hovering just above her head. She stops, and so does the Drifloon.]

I'd really like to catch one. [She looks around for one that's close by, but the Drifloon behind her moves accordingly so that it is not seen by her. Rika looks disappointed] Mii ...I can't find one.

... You can't, huh, Rika?

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

No, and I really want one.

[action]

[overthedratini.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... [grinning knowingly] I'll help you look!

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

[She instantly brightens.] Really?

[action]

[overthedratini.livejournal.com]

Yup! So tell me... Where haven't you looked?

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Um...

I've looked everywhere.

[action]

[overthedratini.livejournal.com]

Everywhere?

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Yes... and I haven't seen any.

[overthedratini.livejournal.com]

[with that, he'll gently be reaching out over her head to snag one of the "strings".]

Have you tried "up"?

[action]

[She now sees the Drifloon and begins to smile.] Actually, no, I didn't!

[action]

[overthedratini.livejournal.com]

Hehehe, then there you go.

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

[She throws a pokéball at it and catches it.] I got one!

What should I name him?

[action]

[overthedratini.livejournal.com]

Hmmm--! Well, he was sticking close to you-- Really close to you, in fact. Does that give you any ideas?

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Ah, I can't think of anything. [She giggles.] Does it give you any ideas, Johan?

[action]

[overthedratini.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... One or two, maybe.

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

What are they?

[action]

[overthedratini.livejournal.com]

Well... "Partner" might be a little too broad, since all your Pokemon are your partners, but what about "Spirit" or, ah, "Guardian"? He kind of looked like he had your back there for a bit.

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Those are good names!

I think I'll name him Guardian.

[action]

[overthedratini.livejournal.com]

Hehe, thanks-- [then he nods] Welcome to Rika's party, Guardian!

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Yes, welcome! [she giggles as the Drifloon floats around them.]

[action]

[overthedratini.livejournal.com]

I bet he's going to be a great partner.

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I think so too. [She looks at her Vulpix who...doesn't really agree.] Mii... I think Hope is jealous...

[action]

[overthedratini.livejournal.com]

[Johan will bend down and give the Vulpix a pat on the head.] Don't worry, Rika hasn't forgotten about you.

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Johan's right! I could never forget about you, Hope!

[action]

[overthedratini.livejournal.com]

See? It's just as Rika and I say.
