1st Channeling | Preparing To Leave New Bark Town [ VIDEO ]

[usedchannel]

[ The video's on- lights, camera, action!

Not really. It is on, but there's nothing flashy going on. Just little ol' Pearls here, pretty much lost and confused. She's biting down on her thumb, it seems. Spoink, otherwise known as Bouncer, is bouncing (as per usual) up and down, trying to be seen in the video. It's...not working out so well, since all you can see is the pearl, but at least he's trying! ]

This is working, right? [ She's not exactly looking directly at the camera, which is why she's asking. She would probably be less nervous than she appears if she knew how to work the voice function, but she hasn't even realized it is a thing that exists yet! ]

I'm... a bit lost... could someone tell me where I could find Kurain Village? I'm in this place called New Back [ Bark.] town, so...

Will it take a long time to get there? What do I need? And-

[ Spoink finally manages to jump high enough for everyone to see him! Hi, everyone, hi hi!!

Pearls just seems to grow more and more nervous. ]

- why is this... Spoh-ink... following me? _{I'm still surprised it hasn't stopped bouncing... He must have been right...}

Thank you in advance, and have a good day.

[Is that...

Whoa, it is. Larry still can't believe his eyes, but that is definitely little Pearl.

He's all over this post man.]

Pearl!

[A pause. He should prooobably explain.]

I don't wanna freak you out or anything, but this is Johto. It's uh...a long ways from Kurain Village. And that Spoink is your Pokemon! They're kinda like pets, but they're way more than that at the same time.

[ Blink. Blink. Blink. ] . . .!

Mr. Deauxnim! [ She knows his last name is Butz, but saying Butz would be weird! Plus, she met him as Elise Deauxnim's apprentice! So she still kind of thinks he's studying art and what not. He was a pretty good one, too, last time she checked! ] How did you get here? Have you seen Mystic Maya and Mr. Nick? How has your art been going? Have you written a picture book- I would love to see it, if you have! [ Question bomb ahoy! ]

[ And then some sudden topic change! ]

'A long ways'? So there is a way back! It's just long! [ She's already been told these things many times, and each time it gets more detailed in some way. Which is good, since it helps her understand it all the more. ]

..Does that make them super-powered pets? Can they channel the spirits of the dead, too? [ Because super powers = always death related ]

[Deauxnim...a name he hadn't heard in months. Maybe even a year. It brings a smile to his face, even though his last memories of "Laurice Deauxnim" and Elise Deauxnim aren't the brightest.

It's a good thing this is a post so he can take the time to answer her questions. Because really, they're actually pretty good questions!]

No one really knows how they end up here, or how to get home actually. People come and then they just...disappear. Maya and Nick were here, but it's been almost a year since I saw either of 'em. [He looked sad as he spoke of his friends. He really does miss them. But talking about his art brightens his mood a little.] It's been going good! I haven't gotten around to my picture book yet, but I still want it to happen. I've been mostly drawing Pokemon here.

Kinda, actually! Though I don't know if they can channel or not. There are ghost and psychic type Pokemon, so maybe they can.

Disappear? Like a... a ma-jii-she-an? [ Memories of Max Galactica (more like Max Impractica)& the Big Berry Circus rush back to her. That was a very... fun case, actually, in a sense. She got to go to a circus and meet the members of the circus- it was the best! Until the murder, of course. But that was another story.

Two familiar names caught her attention, though. ] Mr. Nick and Mystic Maya were here a year ago?! [ She doesn't seem to believe this at all! No way is that possible- ... Actually, maybe it was. She fell quiet for a moment before speaking again. ]

Well, you'll make it eventually, but can I see some of your drawings, Mr. Laurice?

-- There are ghosts here? [ Pearls may or may not want to meet some- it's a debatable topic. She's kind of afraid one of them might be her mom somehow, but at the same time, she'd be happy to see her. ]

Sorta. They just end up going back home. At least, that's what we're pretty sure happens. [He nods slowly.] Yeah. There were a couple other people from our world here, but for a while it's just been me and Edgey.

Sure I can! And yeah, there are ghosts. I have one, actually. You can meet her sometime.

[Speaking of meeting...] Oh, Pearl, do you want me to come pick you up? I'm pretty sure Nick and Maya would want you with an adult. I'm about to do some traveling anyway.

[ The response came later than usual because she had been traveling, having finally reached Cherrygrove City in the timespan of four days. Four days due to constant fleeing and avoiding Trainers. Yikes.

Apologizing for her tardiness, she got back on topic. ]

...Mr. Edgeworth is here, too? I haven't seen him! And I'd love to meet her- if she's your Pokemon, she has to be nice! [ Pearl logic. ]

...You can come pick me up? [ She blinked. ] ...Mystic Maya and Mr. Nick would want that, wouldn't they? Well, if you can, that would be nice...!
