002 Bushels ❦ [Video/Action]

[Hello, people of Johto. Today you’re in for a treat. The journal feed opens rather abruptly, as the force of a flying Magikarp shakes the screen. A frustrated southern belle sits patiently at the shoreline, an old rod in her hand.]

Alright, y’all. What’s with all these here Magikarp? I’ve been fishin’ here all day, and the only thing nibblin’ are these useless bottom-feeders.

[She taps her chin a couple times.] Maybe if I catch one, it’ll scare the rest of ‘em away, ‘r somethin’.

[She digs though her bag, shuffling her way through the disarray inside, eventually retrieving a pokeball. Aiming at the fish that hit her pokegear, she boredly tosses the ball. It shakes a couple times, before clicking shut. Applejack bends over and picks up the ball, presenting it to the camera and speaking quickly:] Alright, y’all, listen up. This here’s Rainbow Dash. Empty headed son… [She mumbles to herself, plopping the unfortunate fish into her bag before retrieving her rod.]

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go catch me somethin’ worth seein’!

[She has no idea what she’s getting herself into.]

Oh, Magikarp? They only grow up to be completely awesome... [Ritz is kneeing her Epic Knifebird Mount out of the shot and throwing a pokeball; suddenly, the streets of Goldenrod have Andre the Gyarados staring down at the gear.]

Oh my-- [Excuse her a second. She's never seen anything like that before.]

This is Andre. I caught him as a Magikarp. I had to keep sending him out and then switching for a pokemon that was more directly useful like Brenda here- [Ritz is patting the Skarmory with the hand not partially in a cast.] but after he evolved he was a force of nature. he also makes a good guy to travel with because he's big enough that half our traveling party's gear is nothing at all to him.

An' that big guy came from one of these wall-eyed bubble-blowers? [She looks down at Rainbow's ball in disbelief. No way can she be telling the truth.]

Yep! Some pokemon evolve after they win enough fights, or some other things happen.

Other things? Like what?

Some need special items, or need to be happy with their trainer. [Ritz is pointing at Bijou.] Eevees, like what she was, evolve into either an Espeon- what she is- or Umbreon depending on the time of day, as well as being really happy.

I wouldn't count on scaring them off. I'm not sure they actually understand things like consequences. Or fear. Or going back into water instead of flopping around on land.

[Harry briefly had a Magikarp the last time he came to Johto. He's not sure the fish ever quite understood that it was no longer in the ocean.]

I think the entire species might be in-bred or something.

You've probably already heard by now, but those guys actually get to be pretty tough when they level up enough, but... I think you start catching other water types the more you travel, if it helps.

The fishing rods you can get in Cherrygrove are just below standard quality. A better rod would probably help.

It all sounds pretty complicated. How do ya keep track of it all?

They're all about as smart as a bag a' hammers, I reckon.

Good to know. A friend of mine told me to look for a water type to fight the 'mean tree' pokey-mon so I can get to Ecruteak faster. But these fellers can't even fight the current.

Everything alright, sugarcube?

These fish sure are picky then. Back home, I'd have no trouble catchin' fish with a stick an' some string. Guess I'll have to get me one of them fancy rods one of these days.

video Those keywords fit this situation perfectly :|b

Aw, shoot. An' I was hopin' to find a water-type to beat that tree pokey-mon with.

It's just that better rods usually get to deeper waters, and that lets you catch the pokémon that live there.

It's mostly Magikarp in the shallow waters.

video It's just a matter of time, sugarcube.

Only because they're both so empty-headed...

[Homesick? Who's homesick? Not AJ, that's for sure.]

That's a real shame. A water-type would be real helpful against that tree pokey-mon blockin' the way to Ecruteak.

[cheer up, it'll be okay :3 ]

That sounds good to me, sugarcube. I'll find a way to get us home, don't you worry.

[Sometimes she wonders who is looking out for who.]
