Mission 006 | Video

[For the last three weeks, Estelle Bright hasn't been seen much. Sure, she's answered by the communicators in her Warp Band, sometimes. But she was out on a mission.]

[It maybe hasn't gone so well, because she appears abruptly; she's covered in mud. A few tufts of grass stick out from her hair, and she's more mud and dirt than Calderan Enlightened at the moment. She tries to wipe some of it off her face.]

[It doesn't work.]

Public service announcement, people! The wetlands are more like the MUDLANDS. Thanks and goodnight!

[An exasperated sigh later:] I need like fifty million showers.

[brandnewshoes]

[...yeah, probably. Estelle sighs, then looks bemused.]

Ever get the feeling that being a Pokemom is harder than it sounds?

[second_destiny]

...Pokemom?

[That's a new one.]

[brandnewshoes]

Like a mom for Pokemon! It's a better name than a trainer, yeah? You're a Pokedad, though.

[second_destiny]

Um...I'm not sure that has the same ring to it. Sounds a bit too different.

[brandnewshoes]

Hmm. What, then? I don't think anyone can be Pokemans.

[LITERALLY DID THIS WHOLE EXCHANGE FOR THAT PUN]

[second_destiny]

[BRB WINCING FOREVER]

I think I'll just stick with "trainer" for myself.

[brandnewshoes]

Your loss!

[second_destiny]

Exactly what am I losing?

[brandnewshoes]

Who doesn't want to have a snazzy, cool-sounding title?

[second_destiny]

I think your definition of "cool" is way different from mine.

[brandnewshoes]

What kinda cool title would you go for, then?

[second_destiny]

I dunno. Just as long as the color white is involved somehow.

[brandnewshoes]

White? It's pretty striking...

[second_destiny]

It was my mentor's favorite color.

[brandnewshoes]

[She sobers at that. She remembers when Asemu talked about his mentor -- and in the past tense. Estelle nods, finally, slowly.]

That's a good reason to pick that color.

[second_destiny]

I should also try to find more white Pokémon, too. But I'd have to sit down and actually figure out which ones count as white.

[brandnewshoes]

They kinda have a bunch of colors, most of the time, huh?

[second_destiny]

Yeah, but even the ones close to white are more pink or yellow.

[brandnewshoes]

Maybe... hrm. It's tough to find one, huh?

[second_destiny]

It could definitely be easier.
