01 | video (action for new bark town)

[ When the video feed clicks on, Namsoon looks rather ruffled up: his clothes are all askew, and there are signs of a bruise beginning to purple on his right cheek and a cut along one of his arms. There's a Mienfoo sitting on his lap, looking very excited!! to be out and about; it can barely seem to sit still. ]

I have a question. The Pokémon we’re partnered with... they aren’t supposed to attack you, right? [ there’s a pause, and then a sigh -- ] I don’t think she meant to, but she was very -- enthusiastic, when I let her out of the ball... They’re pretty strong, aren’t they? Even though they’re so small. 

[ For a few moments, he seems to zone out, staring blankly and not saying anything. Rather abruptly, though, he snaps out of it after half a minute or so: ] I was wondering, though... do they really enjoy fighting? And do we have to battle them? It just seems kind of...

[ He trails off, changing subjects abruptly: ] I think I need a band-aid.

Minefoo? I've never heard of those! But I bet they're super energetic! They look like it too!

I think it's more personality than type of pokémon they are. I mean, some of them have very peaceful personalities, but they're still willing to battle.

[ he smiles a little -- ] I don't know about all of them, but this one can barely sit still.

... That's reassuring to hear.

Hmmm! I think other pokemon are calmer! Like, Sunkern here [ She points to the little sunflower seed in her arms. ] is really calm and really enjoys staying in my arms or the sun.
