First Hit | Video
[Hello Network, are you having a peaceful day? Nice and quiet? Good, because this kid is about to ruin it. Half-pint here apparently doesn’t know the meaning of the word "inside voice."]
[Even if he is technically outside, but semantics. He’s still yelling far too loudly for that to not be disturbing somebody.]
Hey, Hinata! Or any of you other fuckwits, what the hell happened!? Where are you??
[What do you mean there are other people who can access this network?]
I think that Naegi bastard might have lied to us. Tch, and here I thought we'd have nothing to worry about with a face that harmless looking. We need to regroup and figure out what went wrong with--
[Just as Kuzuryuu is about to unload some real SHSL spoilers, he cuts off, paling slightly due to a small, nervous voice piping up from somewhere off screen. His head spins around so fast it’s a wonder he didn’t break his own neck.]
U-um. [Now that she’s approaching her friend, the girl is clearly unsure if this was what she wanted to do. He didn't seem very happy about their circumstances - though who could blame him, really?] Wh-who are you talking to? Is Hinata-san there? [Yeah, guess who hasn’t really done diddly squat with her gear.]
Sh-shit!! Tsumiki!?
[The feed ends abruptly, with the shorter boy only looking all the more like he's seen a ghost.]
((ooc: Responses will come from Kuzuryuu or Mikan, probably both. Also a warning for spoiler in castmate threads because there’s just no way those aren’t going to pop up.))

[ Hell yes she's memorized a bunch of Pokédex entries, are you kidding? ]
Since she's been following you, she's definitely your partner...in this place, everyone has Pokémon. She'll be helping you out in battles and whatever else you choose to do here, so you should give her a name as soon as you think of one. My partner's name is Kirby...at least, my starter.
[ Nanami has a lot more than one Pokémon at the moment.
...Also, wow, she talks a lot when it's about a game. ]
Video;
Battle...? We have to fight in battles...? [That doesn't very safe nor very fun.]
A-ah, I'll think of a name right away! I-I'm sorry I haven't named her yet. [She also asks for the Audino's forgiveness, assuring her she'll think of one soon.]
...but...what do you name them? I'm sorry if I'm asking too many questions...
Video;
Not if you don't want to...you can do whatever you want to do, really. There's two type of trainers in terms of ID cards..."trainers" and "breeders". If you want, you could try to learn about Pokémon nursing, maybe...?
[ Well, what Nanami names them... ]
I name mine after video games and video game characters, because I like those names. So...whatever you like, I think.
Video;
Nanami-san...that sounds a lot like you.
[Whatever she likes...she'll have to think on that.]
Video;
[ Or just not allowing them to get hurt by winning fast enough. ]
...Anyway, I'm on the road towards Violet...I should be there pretty soon. It's the second city in, so if you and Kuzuryuu-kun are walking, we can meet up to talk in person then. A lot of us are in Goldenrod right now, but several people are planning to go travelling for a little...
[ Since things are Tense back at the house. ]
Ah, that reminds me. Part of the game is collecting badges from gym leaders, which you win by battling them. You don't have to do that, but that's why I'm going to Violet. The first gym...is there.
Video;
If you are going to get badges...that means you intend to battle, correct?
Video;
[ It's a good thing they're trapped in a video game with the SHSL Gamer, really. Nanami can handle most of the questions related to that. ]
Yes. I've been training since I got here...so I think I'm ready for gym one.
Video;
And I see. If that's the case, please let me take care of your Pokemon for you when I see you again!
Video;
Yep. Poison attacks can make that happen...there's also things like "paralyze" and "burn".
[ ...Aw, that's a sweet offer. Obviously she is on board with it. ]
If that's the case...I'd really appreciate you doing so, Tsumiki-san.
Video;
Think nothing of it, Nanami-san! That's my job as a nurse.
Video;
As for Repels, those are important if you don't want to battle...they'll keep wild Pokemon away for a while.
[ Although if you're with Kuzuryuu his shouting might also work? :|a ]
If there's anything I can do to help you in return, let me know, okay?
Video;
[Yeah probably....]
I will! But Nanami-san shouldn't worry about helping me. You should do more worthwhile things, like fight your gyms!
Video;
[ MOST OF HER MONEY HAS GONE TO GEAR GAMES, LET'S BE HONEST... ]
Hm? I think it's normal to worry about and want to help your friends, though.
Video;
[Nanami you should save your money........]
I will search around for the berries, and I can...report my findings to you, if you'd like?
Video;
That would be fine with me...you can call my gear whenever you like, Tsumiki-san. You already should have the number logged from my replies here...so that's the one to use.
[ Though she doesn't mind if Tsumiki calls her about things not having to do with berries, either. She's pretty easy-going. ]
Video;
Would that really be alright? I-I will be sure to share everything I learn! Thank you, Nanami-san!
[Thank you for what.....
Spoilers, you're going to hear a lot about berries, Nanami. And that's probably it.]
Video;
Of course. If possible, I'd like to hear from everyone every so often...if we're not all travelling together or in the same place, it's good to know that everyone else is doing okay, isn't it...?
[ She will listen to all the berry talk without zoning out.
...Probably. She might fall asleep, but it's Nanami, and she doesn't mean anything by it. ]
Video;
A-ah! Yes, definitely!
[She fidgets a moment, debating on if she wants to actually say what's currently on her mind.]
Um. If...Nanami-san wants to, and doesn't have anything better to do, I'd like to hear from her too! B-but only if you want to. And if you aren't busy! Maybe just...when you're bored.
Video;
[ She...might have a lot of gaming talk to share. And Pokemon talk. ]
Hey, Tsumiki-san, did you know the gears come preloaded with a few games...? Snake, Minesweeper, and...
[ ...the falling block game we never speak of. >| ]
...the older arcade-style games are 10 pokeyen a piece.
Video;
Games? On...on this? [Snake...Minesweeper...older arcade-style...? She's not a hundred percent sure on exactly what any of these games are like, honestly...]
Do you play them a lot?
Video;
[ She is working on it. ]
There's also two-player sorts of things, so when we see one another in person again, we can team up.
Video;
I will definitely play games with you! What games do I need...maybe I can practice them before we meet up...
Video;
[ Let her count them off. ]
Angry Spearow, Asteroid, Brain Age, Buneary Bounce, Draw Something, Ekans, Galaga, Infernape Escape, Kanto Discovery Trail, Magikarp Mayhem, Minesweeper, PI Pikachu, Pokékart, Poképarty, Pretty Princess Pokémon, Primeape Panic, Robot Rapidash Attack, Snubbull Stomp, Solitaire, Stormy Cycling Road, Sushi Skitty, Voltorb Flip...Gulpin's Gulppy Adventure...
[ And also Tetris, since that came preloaded. She has yet to touch it.
...
Nanami, how much money did you sink into games... ]
Video;
There are more you don't have?
[She seems to be jotting them all down, having found her pad and paper while digging for potions.]
We will play all these games together. I will be sure to have them all by the time I reach you.
[And hopefully know how to play at least a couple...]
Video;
[ A few of these were presents from other people, but...most of them she got herself. ]
And some you can play from a distance...at least, things like "Draw Something" work like that.
[ If not, Nanami will teach her. Patiently. ]
