[The screen focuses, and Sinbad grins faintly before he starts speaking, waving his free hand briefly before putting it down]

So I asked around, and sounds like people here don't use nets to catch fish or Water-types. So when in Union, do what Unionists do, so I hadn't fished with a 'rod' before, so anyone got some tips for a beginner at rod fishing?

And - just wondering, how difficult is it to get a business license here? I don't think I'm going to be ready to open up shop just yet, but I want to get my duckletts in a row for when I do. Any answer would be appreciated.

[Wow, Union, did you miss your loudest and brashest little idol? JUST SAY YES Because here's Nico, looking even more excited than ever as she sets up her warp band to record an obviously staged performance. She's wearing a cute and frilly outfit as six of her pokemon are lined up: her Jigglypuff, Shroomish, Nuzleaf, Skiploom, Gloom and Marill, fidgeting anxiously]

Hi, everyone! I know it's been a while, but Nico-ni has been preparing a very special announcement for you all! After all the scary things that happened last month, I thought that maybe idols should be cute and tough! So we've been working not just on our routines, but on getting stronger too! And today, we get to show you how it all pays off!

[She jumps to the side so her pokemon can take center stage and snaps her fingers to Puri, her Jigglypuff, who's first in line]

Jiggly!

( And much sparkling transformations ensued )

I'd like to thank Ezreal and Melaka for providing the stones used and- [And suddenly, she starts glowing, lighting up the camera. It's so surprising she steps back and her pokemon are staring as she starts giving off sparkles as well and then there's one last flash-!

Nico's standing there, lookign the same as ever except - now she has little pointed black horns poking out of her hair on top of her head. They're easy to miss, being the same color as her hair, but much harder to miss is... the long, spade-tipped tail coming out from under her frilly skirt, curling about.]

H-huh? A, ah, ow! [She's suddenly pulling at the back of her dress, clawing at the zipper as she gives a panicked look at the camera] K, Kara, shut it off!

[There's an obedient caw as her Murkrow hits the warp band, ending the feed]

[Action]

[Nico can be seen around Union, in her new, evolved form - she seems rather pleased with her horns and that tail swishes about happily, but most obviously, she's showing off the shimmering, fairy-like wings on her back, now that she's wearing a low-backed dress. Translucent, they're only about ten inches long, fluttery things that obviously won't let her fly, but it seems they're good enough she can jump quite bit higher, easily verticaling her own height, 2 leaps up on top of a one-story building and softly landing back on the street as she jumps down, her murkrow flying after her with a worried look as she hops about]

[The feed starts off with a smiling face of a ginger some of you may remember. Honoka stands there for a moment looking into it before blinking, tapping it, and then realizing it's already recording.]

Oh! Hi there, my name is Honoka Kousaka! Some of you may remember me from before-- I went home to Caldera over the Salvation holiday, but now I'm back! Aaaand I have a very important question for all of you!!

[She sets her warp band down and spins away from it, balling her hands into fists and standing with her feet set apart and a broad smile on her face.]

Music is universal, so I wanted to ask the people of Union this-- and I'd love to know if you're from another city like I am, too! Love songs are generally written about people, but... What if you could write a love song about your favorite food? Everyone loves to eat-- my personal favorite food is bread! So, beloved citizens of Union, I ask you: Would you listen to a love song about bread?!

action; in a somewhat busy area of town

[Off on the side of a street, Honoka is sitting on the ground amidst a pile of building supplies. She doesn't really look like she has any kind of an idea of what she's doing, but she sure looks determined to be doing it. She's tapping together pieces of wood and other things with nails, and there's a big banner behind her that reads "Unionomura☆!" in her endearing sloppy penmanship. She hums a happy tune while she puts things together all sorts of not-well, and seems entirely undeterred by the fact that whatever it is she's trying to "build" has fallen apart three times.]

[Someone who knows how to build things, please please come tell her she's Doing It Wrong.]

[Later that day, Hanayo opens up another Warp Band broadcast - this time, to the entire city of Union.  She's in the Water type area of the Pokemon habitat, wearing a cute sailor suit type outfit and standing on a small platform.  There are two Sharpedo floating in the water to either side of her.]

U-um...!  Hello, everyone!  My name is Hanayo Koizumi, and I'm training to become a Pokemon idol!  These are my Sharpedo, Hidari and Migi, and we're going to perform for you!  Th-this is a work in progress...

[And with that somewhat stilted intro, Hanayo and the two Sharpedo begin their performance.  She doesn't have any music backing her up, and isn't much of a songwriter, but at least she's trying.  The song itself is about how much she loves rice - Honoka's earlier transmission gave her an idea and she just couldn't let go of it.  It doesn't make a whole lot of sense in the context of singing and dancing with Water types, so the whole experience is really rather odd. 

And besides that, the Sharpedo on the left seems to have forgotten the routine halfway through.  But hey, at least he's persistent!  A true idol can never abandon the performance halfway through, even if they're a complete screw-up.  Hanayo, similarly, is a trooper, and even though it's written all over her face that she's nervous performing in front of an audience like this, she manages to make it all the way through her song and dance with minimal stumbling and voice cracking.]

Ah... th-thank you very much!  I hope you enjoyed the show!
