005 | Violet City | Video / Action;

[So here's Parker "Alice", for once heralding from a different setting than the sights and sounds of Goldenrod City; given the generally purple background scenery, it's probably a fair bet that she's in Violet. Plus, the fact that she's standing a short distance away from the unmistakable architecture of the Violet Gym only serves to reinforce this fact.

Just as the highly offended look on her face only serves to reinforce the fact that something is decidedly bothering her.]


Okay, so if you want to fly, you need the DVD thingy to teach it to your Pokemon and the badge thingy because...you just do for some reason. But I don't have to teach Switch with the DVD thingy because he was born with it.

[As if on cue, an Aerodactyl cranes its big sinister head down into the frame to photobomb the video and nuzzle against her cheek; clearly delighted by this, she wastes no time in tilting her head and rewarding him with a kiss on the Aerodactyl approximation of the cheek.]

So that means I just need the badge thingy to fly, and you get those from the gym. But I did that and it didn't work.

[Technically, she did it about four times...with four different badges...none of which were technically hers...because all of them were lifted from the badge cases of victorious trainers as they left Falkner's gym...

...

Whoops.]


So what else do you have to do to go flying? 'Cause I — hang on. [Her attention abruptly diverts somewhere offscreen.] HEY! IS IT HATCHING?!

[A beat passes, presumably containing a reply rendered inaudible to the microphone from the distance. And evidently so, because when "Alice" looks back, her eyes are bright and she's alight with sudden enthusiasm.]

Gottagobye.

[And the feed switches off.]

Have they actually flown on the same Pokemon you're trying to ride?

Well, it could be a lot of things. Balance issues, or some parts of the body that are weaker than others. Securing the cargo. Confidence.

Which is more likely? The mass-produced badge that works for everyone else just happens to be broken for you, or the individual Pokemon with its own characteristics and personality happens to have trouble where others have not?
