[The video feed switches on to provide a blurred close up on someone's face. The user moves back slowly, allowing the image to come into focus as it shows a blond teenager sat on the ground, eying the device suspiciously.]

Hey- This thing even on? [A tap on the screen, the teen sighs, exasperated, before looking over to the Poliwag sat beside him.]

You know how to make this work?

[Silence.]

....Didn't think so. Maybe we just...

[Grumbling again as he shuffles in his spot, Naruto holds out the Pokegear a little further as he puts on one of his biggest, brightest smiles.]

Uzumaki Naruto, reporting for duty! Hehe. So, I really need to get home, everyone is counting on me, but the weird lady who thinks she's my Mom said I can't, so since I'm here I'm going to get all the badges and have everyone acknowledge me as the greatest Pokemon trainer there is, you'd better believe it!

[He hops up to his feet, facing the Poliwag once again.] C'mon Gama-chan! Training starts now!

[His speech is interrupted by the loud growling of an empty stomach.] Er... after we eat, that is. Does this place have ramen?

[By our blonde powers combined...]

Oh yeah? Heh, seems like there's a lotta people like that here.

[video]

[buckyouup]

More than you can count, but that don't make tryin' any less fun.

[video]

[believeit]

I'm determined not to lose!

Who are you? My name is Uzumaki Naruto! Trainer in training!

[video]

[buckyouup]

I'm Applejack, an' I suppose you could call me th'same thing.

[video]

[believeit]

Well then nice to meet you Apple Jack! Maybe one day in the future, we can spar.

[With Pokemon, that is.]

[video]

[buckyouup]

If you think you can keep up, I'd love to.

[video]

[believeit]

I definitely won't lose to you.

[video]

[buckyouup]

I reckon we're gonna get along just fine, Sugarcube.

[She snickers.]

If we ever meet up, let's do some trainin' together. I might have a thing or two t'teach you.

[video]

[believeit]

Really?!

Where are you anyway?

[video]

[buckyouup]

Ecruteak, but we're headin' out for Olivine in a few days.

[video]

[believeit]

Oh. We're going to some place called Goldenrod.

[video]

[buckyouup]

We were just in Goldenrod a couple weeks ago. Real big city. Not exactly my kind'a town, but you'll never run out of things t'do.

[video]

[believeit]

Apparently there's a train or somethin' there that we're going to take. Whatever that is.

[video]

[buckyouup]

...It's an interestin' ride, t'say the least.

[video]

[believeit]

...Why's that sound bad?

[video]

[buckyouup]

D'you have anythin' like it back in your world?

[video]

[believeit]

I don't even know what it is.

[video]

[buckyouup]

...You're about t'go faster than you ever thought you could, Sugarcube.

[video]

[believeit]

Sugarcube...?

And I dunno, I can move pretty fast! At least I could, when I had my chakra.

[video]

[buckyouup]

I could run full sprint and I wouldn't even come close t'catchin' this thing.

[video]

[believeit]

Ahh it must be something really powerful then!
