femininity | 1st live [video/action]

[ as the device's screen turns on, you're treated to the sight of two ralts. they don't seem to be doing anything in particular, but that's enough to inspire makoto to pull out of her device. this thing takes pictures, right? she's not entirely sure, but if it's a phone, it's gotta have that kind of function!

so while she fiddles with her device, inadvertently turning it on, she calls out to another person. ]

Hey, Ryo! Ryo! Look! They're cute, aren't they?

[Another voice gives a light giggle at Makoto's excitement. When she's excited like this, even Ryo can't stay worried about their predicament!]

You really like them, don't you Makoto-san...? Though, to be honest, I think they're more "cool" than "cute".

Really? [ no, they definitely look cute to her. she stares a bit longer, before quietly deciding to herself that they're definitely more "cute" than "cool". but more importantly... ]

Oh! I think this is recording. [ uh... whoops? she turns her device so it's facing ryo, figuring they should give their audience something more than two cute pokemon rolling around. ] Um... quick, say something!

Eh?! Why me?!

[Ryo's shocked face takes up the entire screen. What do?! All right, back up back up... Okay, much better. Well, "something" was kinda vague, and arguing with Makoto is something Ryo doesn't want to do, so... A greeting, maybe? That's pretty basic. Time to flash a bright smile!]

Umm... H-How do you do? I'm Ryo Akizuki. I'm an idol from 876 Productions, though I don't think it really matters right now... With me, is, um... [Ryo tries to discreetly whisper, though it's pretty audible.] Makoto-san, maybe you should say something too?

[ at those words, maktoo turns the camera around so that she's the one on screen now. ]

I'm Makoto Kikuchi, from 765 Production! If I have any fans here, I don't mind giving autographs! [ she laughs a bit as she says it, making clear that she's just joking. she's hardly that popular yet. ] But anyways... it's nice to meet you!

[ she nods, satisfied by the message, before turning back to Ryo. she thinks the message has ended now, though obviously it hasn't... ]

That was good, right?

[Ryo nods, satisfied.]

Yes! You're amazing as always. [Though anything Makoto does is amazing to Ryo---] Hm? It looks like... you might have left it on.

Eh? No, I made sure I... ack, you're right!

[ makoto fumbles around with the device a bit before finally, this time successfully, turning it off. ]

'Course you are! The both of you stand out pretty easily.

Ah, is that so? That's good. If we didn't stand out, we wouldn't be much of an idol...

[This must be progress!]

Maybe you'll be one of our fans one day! [Giggle! That's totally a joke.]

. . . [Give him a moment as he's thinking to himself.]

Hmmmm... [Looking him, er, her over...]

[And OUT OF NOWHERE--]

YOU CAN ALREADY CONSIDER ME A FAN OF YOURS!!!

[NO--]

[Okay, okay. Yeah, having mostly male fans kind of suck, but a fan is a fan! If Ryo has any chance of becoming a real man, he must first shed the man! That was what the President had advised him about.

For the sake of attaining manliness, HE MUST BECOME A GIRL...!]

Kyah, really?! I'm so happy! [Time to put on the brightest and giddiest smile ever! SPARKLESPARKLE.] So then, as my newest fan, could perhaps tell me your name?

[And returning that smile with a handsome toothy glint. She looked really happy, so this had also made him happy in return!]

Yup, I'll tell you who I am. My name is Shouichi Kazama! I'm going to become a great adventurer someday!

An adventurer... [Well, this setting is really perfect for that sort of thing.] That's really amazing! I'm sure you're getting a lot of experience here, Kazama-san! You'll be a top-notch adventurer in no time, I'm sure of it!

Damn right I will! And after I explore this place and Earth, I'm gonna keep going higher and aim for the moon!

Th-The moon...

[SO MUCH UNSURE...]

Well! What sort of adventures do you think you'll encounter on the moon~?

I duuno. Maybe I'll find aliens or moon cheese if I look hard enough.

[But... The moon isn't made out of cheese... and it's not a sustainable environment for life...

Ryo's all about manliness, but this is kind of a bit too much. Well. Um. More power to him, I guess.]

Amazing! Your ambition is really admirable, Kazama-san~

[Ryo you just cannot HANDLE this much ALPHA.]

Oh? Alright then! I'll get you a moon stone whenever I return from that place someday!

[No thank you. Ryo manages to let out a polite laugh.]

Yaaaaay, I'll... look forward to that. Yeah.

Did you get the proper tutorial on how to use Pokemon?

Ah, I did read through the guidebook... Wild ones go "BO~N!" when you walk around in tall grass, and you're supposed to use the Pokemon you have to defend yourself, right?

Ding! Ding! Ding! That's right! Just remember to pay attention to how strong your Pokemon are. If you're in a battle that you can't win, you gotta run.

I... I got it! So I need to know my limits, right~?

[SPEAKING OF STRONG POKEMON...]

Though, Kazama-san, could you tell me more about the gyms? Like, how will I know that my Pokemon are ready to take one on...?

The gyms? There's around eight gyms for each region. Each of the gyms have a leader who specialize in their speciality. Like one could be for Flying! Or another could be for Darkness! The list goes on!

And check your Guide for the levels of your Pokemon. I haven't taken on a Gym Leader yet, but it wouldn't hurt to ask people how strong the leaders are for each city.

Mm... [Ryo uses a moment to take this all in. Seems like this guy was more reliable than he let on.] I see! Thanks, that really helps a lot. I'll ask around and train more hard, then.
