75. [Video/Action for Olivine City] Backdated to Saturday morning + afternoon

[foolishwren]

<sub>[So something happened that morning. Something ... owly.]

[What, exactly, do you do when you suddenly find yourself in possession of way more fluffy spherical owls than anyone would know what to do with?]

[... TRY AND MAKE SOME MONEY OFF OF THEM, OF COURSE!]

[Anyone in Olivine City, whether they've settled down with a house or are just staying there temporarily, may witness a rather odd sight on this sunny Saturday afternoon.]

[A teenage girl and a scruffy twenty-something man, toting bold-printed signs and... what seems to be a large red wagon full of Hoothoots]

[Behind them, a rambunctious oversized Growlithe, and-- a little further back-- a middle-aged fellow in a brown coat (despite the summer heat), toting a Togepi and a Pichu and keeping his distance, because it's totally uncool for a parent to walk right next to the kids while they're trick-or-treating (although either he or one of the Pokemon would seem to be filming them surreptitiously with the 'Gear on and off, judging by the snippets of Hoothoot Sale Adventures occasionally popping up on the network).]

[... Or in this case, being the best little owl salesmen ever. Even if Henry doesn't particularly look like he wants to be there. Still, the little parade almost looks like it needs some kind of ridiculous owl-selling theme music.]

[Throughout the day, if anyone has a residence in Olivine, they may have THIS show up on their doorstep:]</sub>

_{[... And the girl will glance over at her companion, see that he's not planning on speaking up, and then clear her throat loudly.]}

HEY there, good sir and-or madam!

Would you like to buy an owl?




[ooc: Anyone over the network is free to purchase their own adorable roly-poly spherical owl for 500P! It's assumed that any left will be sold to people here and there in Olivine. Except for the derpiest two. Heather has special recipients in mind for those.]

Kitty, huh?

_{[INTERESTING NAME.]}

You seem pretty calm for somebody who just got here.

[walkinthruwalls]

I'm taking it all in... slowly. There's not much I can really do about being here, though, so there's not too much point in making a big fuss. [ Plus her Mareep is kind of cute and travelling and having adventures sounds fun ]

[foolishwren]

Yeah, that's about all anybody can do, really.

Fortunately, the place tends to grow on ya.

[walkinthruwalls]

Somehow I think it already is.

[foolishwren]

That's good!

I've been here a whole year, so... the sooner it shows you its good side, the better, since y'might be stayin' here awhile.

[walkinthruwalls]

So far I've made it... I don't know how far but I've gotten part of the way through route 29 without being attacked, except for some wild pokemon but I've heard that they do that.

[foolishwren]

Yeah, the wildlife can be pretty vicious. Route 29's fairly tame overall, though. Which is a good thing, I mean.

The starters are pretty much just babies when people get 'em. If that first leg was any harder, it'd be hard for them to take it.

[walkinthruwalls]

I suppose catching other Pokemon helps with that too as your first Pokemon won't get as tired from the battles.

Though I hope I'm nearly at Cherrygrove, I'm starting to get low on food.

[foolishwren]

Yep, that's the general idea.

You shouldn't be too far from Cherrygrove if you've been covering ground consistently.

[walkinthruwalls]

I've been travelling all day and the previous night, with breaks.

[foolishwren]

Yeah, you should be getting there within another day or so. Hang in there.

... And... don't eat those big berries.

No matter how tasty they look.

[walkinthruwalls]

No berries, got it. And thanks, it'll just be nice to see somewhere different, too.

[foolishwren]

Cherrygrove's still kinda in the middle of nowhere... but once you start getting to the big cities, the scenery starts changin'.

[walkinthruwalls]

It's at least a city though, kind of familiar, but I get your point. It's usually what happens.

[foolishwren]

Sad to say, it's not much of one... a couple convenience stores, a Center, and a whole bunch of beach shacks... s'bigger than New Bark, but not by a lot.

[walkinthruwalls]

It'll be nice to do a bit of shopping though, if only a little bit. Plus, there's a pokemon waiting for me there.

[foolishwren]

... Waiting?

[walkinthruwalls]

Yeah. Someone posted about Meowth and Glameow eggs the other day and they're letting me have one so it's getting sent to Cherrygrove for when I get there.
