❀ 3rd Konpeito ❀ [Video/Action]

VIDEO

[Who's the most terrible trainer in the world? Saionji Hiyoko, that's who. In any case, she's staring at the video screen, a Vaporeon sitting on her lap. And both of them looked pissed as hell.

Hey, it's not like Saionji didn't even notice Naoryuu was gone!... Okay, yeah, she didn't. But that doesn't change the situation right now.]

When I find out who took my Eevee and forcibly evolved him into a Vaporeon when I wanted an Umbreon, I'll have you publicly stoned! Since execution isn't an option here, I'll have to do with torture. You won't get away with this, slimy pig!

[And, video off.]

ACTION

[Said Vaporeon is currently paddling in the large pond behind the Gym in Violet City. Saionji is sitting at the edge and pouting. Her Petilil is hopping up and down the road bobbing sweets and biscuits on its head from... god knows where to Saionji, but always ends up having to go back to town for more because it gets splashed in the face and dragged into the water by the Vaporeon frequently. Saionji doesn't seem to care much.

...Approach?]

[HUSH YOU]

Nope. They're evolved from trading. For the Porygon line, they need to hold an item while being traded. An Up-Grade for Porygon into Porygon2, and then a Dubious Disc for Porygon-Z.

[DUBIOUS DISC...(unsure)]

...So none of the Pokémon kidnapped have been evolved by levels at all!

[She seems happy with that revelation.] Whoever is behind this... wants to see the evolutions of Pokémon via items. But why?

Seems like it!

[Time to get his speculation on.] Maybe they want to study how they evolve? Depending on what aspects they focus on, there's quite a few things you can study about evolution.

But what can they study? And if they wanted to study, why not just put up an offer to everyone, 'hey I'll evolve your Pokémon for free!' People will flock to them! There's something much more sinister going on.

...What about evolution can be used sinisterly, though?

Hm...sinister evolution... We know evolution can be caused by stones, items, trades and even friendship. If there's a sinister way of evolving, it'd have to be like...evil evolution!

[what do you think this is ~~digimon~~ cyber monsters]

[wrong franchise, bro, that's the rip-off]

...Evil evolution? What, are they trying to create a new way of evolving? Mutate the Pokémon or something? That sounds like a bad sci-fi movie! Mess with nature, and it'll only come to bite you back.

[hey man, you gotta admit that franchise have some cool ideas]

Hey, it's possible! Evolving Pokemon means making them stronger. If they try to find new ways of evolving, they might tap into some new and powerful potentials!

...But if they mess with Pokemon too much, who knows what will happen?

[true, plus a tragic anime plot that makes you scream at the screen]

I don't even care why they wanna do it! I just want to find out who they are!

Big Bro Atsuro, do you know anyone who sounds like they'd do that?

Nope! Not anyone I know personally. But they'd sound like a crazy mad scientist type of person to consider this.

[Does Team Rocket have a crazy mad scientist person? They probably do.]

Stupid...

[There's a beat, and she suddenly looks at the screen again.]

Big Bro Atsuro! Where did you get the konpeito?

[Sudden subject change! Trainer Atsuro was caught off-guard!]

Eh? The konpeito? I got them from Fuchsia City.

[KONPEITO IS IMPORTANT.]

It wasn't spectacular, but it was better than anything else here! It even made me reconsider my opinion of you... somewhat. Teehee, thank you!

[Her tone is suddenly perky. So sweets really is the way into a little girl's heart...]

[Note to self: Give her candies if he wants to stay in her good grace for something.

After getting over his surprised, Atsuro grins and just go with the flow.]

Heheh! Glad you like them! I thought Fuchsia might have some, so that's why I checked their stores and businesses!

[Due to the whole ninja thing. But the city's not as "traditional" as Ecruteak, with the whole PokeHollywood they're doing over there.]

[Giving people free stuff is always a flawless plan.]

It just hits the spot, with the right amount of Japanese taste after being starved of it for so long... [Ahhhhhh. Ecruteak is really starting to sound like her future home base.]

...Of course, now I know that konpeito is made here, my standards will have to go up.

[Yep. Definitely.]

Oh? How high are we talking? World's best of the best konpeito?

Kyahaha, I wish! But I don't think I can get my town's sweets here.

Mmm... I want konpeito that's smoother. Enough etches to still be a konpeito, but well-crafted enough to roll over your tongue... and with a brighter color, so they're like stars! Making konpeito like that is just like dancing, or singing, or drawing- it's an art in itself! So sweet, so tiny...

[Dammit, she's making herself hungry.]

Hahah! Now I want to have some as well! Except I don't have any left on me.

[Most of them was sent to her and the rest he already finished a while ago.

Now that he thinks about it, how do they make konpeito?]

It's a must-have! No Japanese should ever lower themselves to eating the diabetic, teeth-rotting sweets that Westerners produced. I'll never consume the fare of uncultured fools.

[welp. Saionji doesn't really know either, actually, since her specialty is dancing. STILL THOUGH]

You should buy some, Big Bro Atsuro! Eat them after a drink of milk, it'll just bring out the flavor!

[...Except he would eat those diabetic, teeth-rotting Western sweets!]

Hey, hey, they're not all that bad in moderation!

[Seriously, girl, some of them are quite awesome okay.]

But I'll make sure to pick some up the next time I swing by Fuchsia!

Wow, you're only good for buying things, aren't you?

[ow] You should be glad I brought konpeito up, Big Bro Atsuro! Once you realize the true capability of Japanese sweets, you'll never give that Western crap another glance. And other than that, mochi, wagashi... the only good company back home was fukuwatashi senbei!

[She smiles at that.]

Hey, I can do a lot more than buying things!

[He's not anyone's walking wallet!] Riiiiight, I'll have to see about that if I ever find any Japanese sweets around here. Or the Pokemon versions of them. But you can't diss Western sweets until you give them a try!

[haha u funny atsuro you're everyone's damn wallet]

I've given them a try, alright. Never again! Took ages to scrap all the taste off my tongue. [Pause.] So if you're going to buy any real sweets, get to it! And watch your wallet, with quality comes the necessary price...

[Wow are you saying you're dissing ~~Tim Tams~~ Tam Tims?]

Only just one brand? Not others, right? [Don't let one bad candy ruin the entire experience!] And of course I watch my wallet! How else would I have enough money to spend for myself and my Pokemon?

All Western brands are nothing but trash, commercialized with addictive poison and fattening sugar!

Why else would so many Westerners be plodding around their fat, disgusting bodies? They start from young, selling candies and stuffing children like pigs for slaughter! Pigs, that's what they all are!

[whoa whoa what] I hope you see that sooner or later, Big Bro Atsuro. Then again, I've no use for hesitating fools that can't face reality.

[Whoooooa there, girl.]

Just calm down! I'll let you know about it later. [Not that he really minds, but he rather not end a potential friend...ship (??) on a sour note.

There's a noise in the background, making him glance behind him.]

And I should get going, anyway! Pokemon calls!
