[ The recording opens up to a little girl with red eyes and a red necktie holding a Budew in her arms. It looks curiously into the warpband, Ib gives a polite nod and a quick smile to anyone watching this. She couldn't wave or properly curtsy while holding a Pokemon. ]

Does anyone have some advice?

Bu.

[ She looks down at her Budew which is looking back up at her. ]

... Please. We're new. [ To training, she means. ]


( As an action option you're free to meet her around town or out in the woods while she attempts some training or bonding. )

What kind of advice are you looking for?

Video

[wordsidk]

Training. And taking care of Pokemon.

[flowerofsendai]

Oh, in that case, I may be of some assistance. Is it just you and Budew, or do you have others?

[ Ib briefly considers mentioning Mary and her Oldish but she'll let them do things their way for now. Instead she nods. ] Just me and Boo.

[ In the forest! Melaka's got on her Ranger jacket, though she's not really going far or anything. No, today she's just out training her new baby charmander by fending off some of the local bugs and stuff here in the forest. With Slugger the Phanpy out to be aware of if they run into anything more serious. And they might run into her ]

[wordsidk]

[ Ib wouldn't go far into the forest either. At least not without someone with her or until Boo gets stronger. Both Ib and Boo stay quiet behind a tree to watch some of the training. She's not trying to hide from them, she just doesn't want to interrupt. ]

[makeitquick]

[ And as they scare off that last mangy little weedle... Melaka grins and pats the guy on the head ]

Good work there, Shiram. We'll make a dragon out of you yet.

[Ahh, so cute!

She can't be much younger than his own daughter.]

What do you need to know?

[wordsidk]

[ She's nine and determined to do a good job. ]

The best way to train.

[myfedorarocks]

[She's awfully young, but then again it's not unusual to start training young-- it's just the paternal side of him acting up, hoping that she won't be hurt.]

You need to find a friend with a pokemon that has similar experience to your own, that way you and your Budew can start to get familiar with battling.

Ice cream is really good.

[ ...Hey, it's advice. ]

Re: audio

[wordsidk]

[ She considers that for a moment... What purpose could ice cream serve? ]

I don't think babies should eat ice cream.

[threemoms]

...What exactly are you asking advice for?

[ She said that she's new, so Hotaru figured she meant to the city. Ice cream's a good suggestion! ]

[faithful_kitsune]

[Hey, does that lady have fox ears under that hat? Wow!]

Oh my, what a young trainer! What can I help you with?

[wordsidk]

Being a good trainer.

[faithful_kitsune]

Ah, I see. That's...

[...very vague.]

...complicated. How well can you communicate with your Pokemon?

[... what's a kid so young doing with a warp band?]

What're you looking for?

[Video]

[wordsidk]

Training advice.

[kaidont]

... you're training? Alone? [Where are your guardians?]

[portraitor]

[Presumably, shortly after Ib has reached out to the network--]

Ib, there you are! [Suddenly, Ib will now have the appearance of her sister to deal with, throwing her arms around Ib as Mary looks down curiously at Ib's warp band.] Oh, were you talking to somebody just now?

[wordsidk]

[ She takes the sudden affection in good humor even if it startles Boo a little bit. Tightening her arm around the pokemon, she nods. ] I asked other trainers for advice.

[portraitor]

Oh, I see! Did anyone have anything good to say?

[was any of that advice helpful for both you and Mary...]

[Video]

[gambliar]

Perhaps.

[Celes brings her hand up to her chin, tapping it thoughtfully with her index finger.]

What sort of "advice" do you require?

[Video]

[wordsidk]

Training.

[Video]

[gambliar]

Pokémon training, yes?
