[She figures not everyone knows her name (most probably don't) so here she is again, introducing herself-]

Hi everyone! I'm Honoka Kousaka, from Caldera! I came to Union a while ago, and I wasn't sure what I would find, but what I did find was...

Singing! And dancing! And that makes people happy! [Guess who's seen some shows and went to the charity concert.]

I'm not very good, but I've been practicing. I have a Jigglypuff who's been giving me lessons, and she scolds me sometimes for messing up, but I've been working hard! And maybe one day, a bunch of us can do the same thing together.

I want to know if anyone else likes to do that too!

Action:

[Honoka can be found out in Union in various places. Idol training is hard! And Jigglypuff is making her run. She looks worn out and is whining a little about it, but she's still trying.

Later, there's dance lessons...those are going alright, but then she's not exceptionally talented at it either. It's obvious if you happen across their path.

And at the end of the day, singing lessons, right outside too- and Honoka sounds okay, but that Swellow that's with them trying to sing along is horrific!]

[Well, at least Honoka knows she needs practice. That's a good thing. Umi hasn't seen much of that stuff recently, considering she spent the first half of last month in the swamp. But she's somewhat familiar with the dancing scene.]

Well, you'll have to keep at it.

I even have a teacher! [She turns around and points to the Jigglypuff. The pokemon looks proud of it.]

I'm going to stick to it! If I don't, she gets mad...

[Jigglypuff is very serious about idol training. Honoka doesn't get to sleep in anymore.]

[That's certainly an interesting choice for an instructor.]

She looks happy right now.

[And now is probably not the best time for Umi's Gardevoir to show off her own elegant dance moves.]

She really likes to see people work hard! And she doesn't like excuses...haaa....

[Jigglypuff doesn't let Honoka get away with anything.]

You've learned from experience.

[That's not a question.]

That's a good thing, though. If you're serious about it, you shouldn't be making any excuses.

I get up early every day and go running, and I work on my dancing and singing everyday too. It's important if I want to go on stage one day. [She looks pretty confident, and sounds sincere too.]

So I never try to cheat myself! If I do, when I go to perform, it won't be as good. And I don't want to let anyone down.

[Running is good exercise. Umi's no stranger to exercising and dancing in general, but she isn't all that confident in singing. ]

I think you have the right attitude.

[She smiles and giggles back, happy for the praise.]

What about you, Umi? Do you like to sing and dance?

[Don't get cocky, Honoka! At the question, Umi hesitates a bit. She really does like dancing, but it isn't something she does in public.]

Sometimes?

[Really, how's she supposed to answer that?]

What if you could do it more often?!

[Uh oh here it comes]

[Oh no, she knows what's coming.]

You mean in front of people?

[It's coming it's coming run for the hills]

Yeah! Wouldn't that be fun? Everyone would love to see it!

[TO THE SWAMP]

Everyone?

Yes, everyone!

[Who else would it be

The swamp doesn't have anybody Umi they want you here be one of us one of us]

[But she has an excuse to go to the swamp! She needs an uglyfish.]

That's...a lot of pressure.

It's not that much! We're just going out to sing and have fun, and for people to watch and be able to enjoy our music!

[YEAH...FOR NOW. WAIT UNTIL THEY GET A RIVAL]

What do you mean it isn't that much?!

[It's embarrassing! Umi had a mini freakout when Kaori recorded her stretching one day. Just stretching.]

Don't worry Umi! If you sing loudly enough you won't even notice if you mess up!

[HELPFUL]

[There's this little voice in the back of her head that's screaming right now.]

But everyone else would!

Not if there's a lot of us! I mess up all the time!

[That's a fact, no doubt about it.]

Is that supposed to comfort me?

[That just makes it sound worse.]

Sure! We all make mistakes, it's nothing to be ashamed of!

[She's doing such a good job at this]

It's embarrassing. Especially if an entire group messes up!

You'd look like a bunch of fools.

Umi! [She holds a stern face.]

Just because we mess up doesn't mean we'll do it all at the same time! We'll try our hardest!

You're not going to give up, are you?
