[It’s been a few days since Olivia arrived in Johto, completely dazed and confused at being kidnapped from her basic Midwestern life. Traveling with an electric ghost, being told to battle other people in dogfights with sentient creatures…None of this is anything she’s mentally prepared for, thus the reason for posting on the network. Though communication with strangers isn’t exactly her cup of tea either.
The recording starts in a hotel room, her Pokegear resting against the complimentary desk, giving a perfect view of her space. Not a single item is out of place, the contents of her pack are sorted carefully on the desk, along with any new travel purchases. Don’t mind the buzzing Rotom swapping between the background and foreground, turning on the lamp, flipping the channels on the television set like the prankster they are.
Whether she’s getting ready to go out or has just come in from a long day doesn’t change her general demeanor for the camera, dressed in a well-kept suit and tie. Her voice is clear, words enunciated carefully as if she’s had experience speaking before a crowd before.]
Hello, members of the network. My name is Olivia Moore and it’s a pleasure to meet you. I apologize for the abruptness of this message, but I’m rather new to this place and was hoping to get a few questions answered.
[She rests one hand over the notebook carefully, still giving the audience her undivided attention.]
From my understanding, most people either become a Pokemon trainer or a Pokemon breeder, however my previous work history doesn’t exactly fall under either of those categories. And when I ask the residents of the city about scientific work, they don’t exactly have any good answers.
[It probably doesn’t help that she bombards them with death-related questions. Oops.]
Are there any undisclosed, paid research jobs in this place? Or is the means of income for a trainer simply beating up Pokemon in battle. It seems barbaric…
[Rotom buzzes loudly in the background. Hey! He likes battling, thank you very much. Olivia just sighs in response.]
Additionally, where’s a good place to find more ghost companions like Baal? He’s eager to have a few new friends.
B. Violet City
[Violet City isn’t the scariest place at night, though if you ask any of the local trainers, they’ll speak ill-will about visiting Sprout Tower once the sun has set. Rumors about an increased amount of ghost Pokemon haunting the upper levels, ready to steal the souls of unsuspecting people. It’s enough to keep away any promising trainers from the location, but Olivia is an odd case, absolutely fascinated by the stories of spooky creatures, and having a ghost Pokemon of her own sort of takes the edge off as well.
The mortician, pack carefully strapped to her back, gazes fervently at the well-worn tower doors. Having company is honestly more terrifying than any wild Pokemon…]
I don’t understand why anyone would be scared of a few ghosts. If anything, they seem highly intelligent for ethereal beings.
[If her creepy calm demeanor doesn’t dissuade, then at least Olivia is courteous enough to give whoever is nearby an exit strategy in advance.]
Do you want to come along? I’m hoping to catch a few of the rarer species this evening. Fair warning though, we’ll probably be out all night.
