2 � [VIDEO/ACTION FOR GOLDENROD CITY]
[ACTION]
[Having grown tired of the stifling atmosphere of the Rocket Base, Emmy has decided that today, she'll train her Pokemon in one of Goldenrod's parks. She's not quite silly enough to do anything too serious in the middle of the city (something tells her that practicing moves like Flamethrower in such an area might be frowned upon), but that doesn't bother her too much. The training she wants to do is fairly simple, anyway.]
Keep your guard up, Lulu!
[And by training, she means...well, sparring rather aggressively with her Lucario. Her Pokemon can't have all the fun, after all!]
That's it!
[It's been a long time since Emmy has had such a good training partner, and she's taking full advantage of it. The pair punch and kick with gusto, blocking each other's moves and responding with faster ones, with Emmy occasionally shouting the odd instruction or word of encouragement. While Emmy has strong technical knowledge, Lulu has pure PokePower on her side; as an opponent, she's formidable. They begin to move faster and faster, completely oblivious to their surroundings, until Lulu happens to let her guard down at just the wrong moment-]
Gotcha!
[It's a move she's done many times before; launching herself into the air, Emmy twists and nails Lulu in the forehead with a powerful back kick, sending her tumbling onto the grass. It's rather clear that she's uninjured, however; talented as her trainer is, she's nowhere near strong enough to do any real damage. Rolling up onto her knees, Lulu pats down the fur on her forehead, waiting for instructions from her-
...ah.]
Lulu...
[Huffing, Emmy places her hands on her hips and pouts down at her Lucario, who is looking...rather guilty, like a child caught with their hand in the cookie jar. She thought she was being sneaky...
...]
What have I told you about going easy on me?
[Looks like they might need to take a break...]
[VIDEO]
[The feed opens to the sight of Emmy and Lulu sitting under a tree, apparently taking a well-deserved break from all their sparring. Taking a sip from a water bottle, Emmy contemplates the camera.]
Hello! I have a question for anyone out there listening, today! How do you train your Pokemon? I'd especially like responses involving Fighting-types! I prefer to be out there on the field with my Pokemon, but they tend to get a bit nervous when I do that! Don't you think that's far more rewarding, though? I get so antsy just standing around!
[Leaning back against the trunk of the tree, Emmy folds her arms behind her head and looks up at the leaves, still thinking.]
Although I suppose I can understand their fears...we humans are so fragile in comparison to them. I just wish I could keep up!
[Hmmm...
...ah! Right, the camera is still on!]
Ah, sorry about that! It just reminded me of a puzzle, you see. Do give me a call if you'd like to chat about training, anyway!

[Though that seemed to be his life lately. Surprise trip across the world! Surprise trip into another world! Here, have a balloon-thing for company.]
I opened the guidebook, though. A few times.
[Like, two. Total.]

[She can only imagine what it would be like to arrive in New Bark Town at the moment...it's rather chilly out, after all!]
If you have any particular questions, I might be able to help. I've been here a little while, so!

[A pause.]
...Hold on, what's your name? So I can find you later.
video
[Or, well, where she's currently based, anyway.]
Yourself?

video
A-Ah, Luke, is it...
[It's been months...she really didn't think that name would sting so badly, and yet...]
It's a pleasure to meet you. Sorry, I just...I used to have a friend who went by that name, that's all.
video
Ye--oh. Uh...you could call me by my family name if you want to instead? It's 'Fabre'.
video
No no, it's fine! Sorry, I was being silly. It's lovely to meet you, Luke!
[She'll have to work on that...]
When you make it to Goldenrod, do give me a call! I know this city quite well, so I'll be able to help you get your bearings.

[Except now he feels vaguely guilty about his name. Vaguely, but still.]
I've barely made it out of Cherrygrove, so that won't be for a while...
[Unfortunately. He knows it'll take at least a week to get to Violet...but this time he's prepared for the trip.]
