video
[Heeeeere's Clover! She's standing at the entrance of Goldenrod, beaming wide and holding the Gear at arm's length in front of her with her free hand. There's a tiny Gible tucked under her other arm, gnawing idly on a rock, and a Munna buried in one of her bushy pigtails.]

Finally! I was going stir crazy in Violet City, but stomping around outside wasn't any better. And look who hatched just in time to see the big city! [The whole frame jostles as Clover hefts her Gible up in her arm. The Pokémon squeaks, clinging to the rock, and fidgets in an attempt to get a little closer to the camera.] Introducing Princess Pearl Chompathia the Great! Isn't she the cutest...teeth...dinosaur...shark thing you've ever seen?! Thanks a whole bunch, Anna!

[Apparently unimpressed by this grand title, Princess doesn't respond until Clover tries shifting her again and poor Princess drops her chew toy stone. Distressed barking is heard off-screen, Princess starts to whine, the Munna makes noises that sound like complaints, and Clover sighs.]

Anyway— [She'll deal with this momentarily; she's just gonna yell over all of the sad Pokémon noises happening for now.] —I've spent waaay too much time hiking around in the woods by myself lately, and since Goldenrod seems like the place to be, I wanna know what all the best places to hang out are! So lemme know, okay? And—ugh, one sec—all right, you two, calm— [Aaaand the video's off. Give her a minute or two.]


action a
[The problem with keeping half your Pokémon out at once is if one of them gets into trouble, all of them do. It takes Clover no time at all to figure that one out after the video's been shut off—and that's the story behind the tiny pink-haired girl darting up and down the street in pursuit of one Pokémon or another: Princess is fluctuating between wailing over her lost chew toy and chasing around Lady the Snubbull (her new favorite game!), Lady barks and whines and runs circles around Clover in an attempt to escape the horrifying teeth monster, Daisy the Munna keeps rolling out of Clover's pigtail as she runs about and going back to her spot whenever Clover stops to fret over her where she hovers in the air—and so on, and so on.

Surrounded by the same purplish glow that engulfs Daisy every time she tumbles and catches herself, the rock Princess had been chewing on hovers a few feet above Clover's head. Everyone who isn't a trouble-making Munna is too busy running circles around each other to notice where the lost chew toy has gone.

Clover bends down to scoop Lady up in her arms, hears Daisy squeak as she tumbles, puts Lady back down to snatch Daisy before she gets the chance to fall, Lady sprints away with Princess in toddling pursuit—] Lady! Get back here! Oh my god—

[Someone please help her pull herself together.]


action b
[Eventually Clover manages to get everybody to stop losing their minds, so she goes on a short, well-deserved shopping trip and takes a seat on a park bench to people-watch, eat her snacks, and...blow bubbles.

Yep. Somewhere in the department store she found something to unite her collection of weird animals, and it is a bottle of bubble soap and a wand. Lady and a grand total of three Munna bounce about the area in front of her, chasing after and headbutting and nosing and (in Lady's case, anyway) occasionally running in fear of the clusters of bubbles Clover blows in their direction.

There are, of course, plenty of bubbles to go around, being missed and carried off by the wind, if any other easily-distractable creatures (or people; bubbles are pretty rad, after all) are in the area.]

[Clover doesn't notice that her bubbles have attracted outside attention, but Princess does. Delighted at the prospect of a new playmate, she waddles over as fast as her nubby limbs will allow, squawking in cheerful greeting. That gets Clover to turn around.]

Oh—sorry, she's a runner. Princess! Don't be a pest, get back here. [When blowing more bubbles directly in front of her does not immediately divert Princess's attention and instead just ineffectually gets more bubbles everywhere, Clover stands up and huffs, hands on her hips.]

[samsa]

[The squawk gets Angmar's attention as he snaps the last of the bubbles in his immediate vicinity. He turns and suddenly leans closer to Princess, and for a split second Kaneki feels his stomach turn over, expecting to see his Deino try to take a bite out of the poor Gible's face.

But just before that can happen, Clover blows more bubbles at Princess, which- in turn- float Angmar's way and pop in his face again, prompting him to start snapping again.

He breathes a sigh of relief, his knuckles white from gripping the toy in his hand.]

No, I...he doesn't listen very well...

This one just hatched, so she just wants to play with everything, no matter what I say. [She marches over, her pink Pokémon posse in tentative tow a couple of feet behind her—oh no, why did the bubbles stop?—and scoops Princess up. In the middle of trying to imitate Angmar's snapping motions at the empty air in front of her, Princess makes another loud, inelegant noise of objection.] There, there, you little brat. [The copycat snapping continues, and Clover holds her out at arm's length so she can't chomp at her.] Nope, noooooo.

[samsa]

[Being able to hear the snapping yet unable to find the source makes for a disgruntled Deino real quick. Before he can get too frustrated and try to snap at Clover, Kaneki quickly power walks the rest of the way over to dangle the tire in front of Angmar's face. He jerks his hand back just as the Pokemon lurches forward to grab the toy in his mouth, shaking his head a little once he's got a hold of it.]

Y-yeah...I know how that is. I'm sorry...I hope he isn't bothering you.
