Video/Action for Violet City

[coolskeleton_95]

[Papyrus appears on camera in the Pokemon Center. He looks...very upset. He's clearly been bawling.]

I...I FAILED!

F-F-FALKNER'S BATTLE POWRESS WAS SO...SO....ADVANCED! MUH-MUY FWIENDS WERE-!

[He dissolves in to tears again.]

NYOO HOO HOOOOOOOO! MY POOR FRIENDS! THEY FOUGHT SO BRAVELY! THEIR DETERMINATION TO WIN WAS CLEARLY MUCH MORE THAN FALKNER'S BUT STILL!

[He sobs more, the healing jingle can just barely be heard behind them. Suddenly! He's tackled by his Shinx and Litleo!]

MY FWIENDS!!!!! YOU'RE NOT DUUUUUUST! [Annnnd, cue the tearful reunion. Papyrus hugs his partners tightly!] I'M SHO HAPPEHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

[There's the mention of dust again. She swallows hard, pressing her lips together as her nerves creep skyward.

Whoever this Falkner guy is, he must be the end boss, Yachi reasons. Fire or electric Pokémon that can burn or zap other Pokémon into charcoal, maybe a psychic type that can turn a Pokémon into stone and disintegrate into dust with a mere touch of breath.]

Urk... I can't imagine going up against someone like that and living to tell the tale...! The fact that you all escaped with your lives shows how strong you are!

[coolskeleton_95]

YOU...YOU'RE RIGHT!!!!

[donoteat]

I'm right? [Whoops, that wasn't supposed to be said out loud. She shakes off her surprise and hurriedly presses forth] I mean-- that's right, isn't it!? You were able to stand up to Falkner and prove how strong you are! He'll think twice about messing with you now!!

[coolskeleton_95]

YES! HE WILL RUE THE DAY HE THOUGHT HE BESTED THE GREAT PAPYRUS!!!!

[donoteat]

Whoa- "The Great Papyrus"? Is that your title? How cool!

[She knew it! Only super strong people earn such grand titles like that. Papyrus is... a type of paper, she recalls. Used to form everything from books to baskets to boats-- all really useful things! He's probably one of those all-rounders.]

[coolskeleton_95]

WELL, "THE GREAT" IS MY TITLE, AND "PAPYRUS" IS MY NAME! SO IT'S MORE OF A COMBINATION OF BOTH!

[donoteat]

[Still super cool. The only people she knew with titles were like "grand king" or "ultimate champion" and were all incredibly strong. Then there's her, who couldn't see herself as ever having a title, so she can't help but look up to people who strong and motivated and focused.] Amazing--! What'd you do to earn that title?

[coolskeleton_95]

BY BEING THE BEST AT EVERYTHING, OF COURSE! [Ego? What ego?]

[donoteat]

[An all rounder...! To think she's been given the chance to talk to somebody so great. She can't let this opportunity to go to waste. Even though ever fiber of her bring recoils at the pretentiousness of the thought that she'll ever measure up, it can't hurt to ask.] Um! Uh, I'm just wondering if you have any tips you can share with me? About how to battle or train or anything, really. If you don't mind sharing your greatness with somebody like me.

[coolskeleton_95]

OHO! SO, YOU WISH TO BECOME MY PUPIL EH?

[donoteat]

If- if it's okay, yes, please!

[coolskeleton_95]

VERY WELL! I WILL TRAIN YOU, HUMAN!

[donoteat]

Human...? Ah, I am, but my name is Yachi!

[coolskeleton_95]

VERY WELL, YACHI! YOUR FIRST TASK IS TO TRAVEL TO VIOLET CITY!

[donoteat]

Violet City? Is that where you are right now?
I'm in Cherrygrove right now... If I leave Friday-- it's payday, and I'll have to give at least three days notice-- will you be there mid-next week?

[coolskeleton_95]

EXCELLENT! I, IN THE MEANTIME, WILL DRAW UP A TRAINING REGIMINE FOR BOTH YOU AND OUR POKEMON FRIENDS!

[donoteat]

That sounds great! I have just two Pokemon right now, a Totodile and a Swablu! I'll text you again when I get there!
