001 [Video!]

[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?

[That's a pretty long name, he'll stick with Honey. At least he has a chance at remembering that.]

Honey it is then!

Oh, yeah! I mean I just met him, but we're from the same village.

[cakelover]

So you're a shinobi, too~! Do you also breathe fire? Obi-chan says he used to do that~!

Ah, I wish I could learn, it sounds fun~!

[believeit]

No, but I can do things that are way cooler than breathing fire!

[cakelover]

Like what, like what?

[believeit]

Well, like my kage-bunshin! Or Rasen-shuriken!

[cakelover]

[ Naruto, you're lucky he's from Japan or that would have made no sense! ]

Ah, so you use shuriken too~? I use usa-chan ones!

[believeit]

Yeah but this one wasn't an ordinary shuriken! I made it, out of chakra. And wind.

But we had normal shurikens too!

[cakelover]

[ Wo-ow! He looks pretty impressed. ]

Making them like that...! That's so cool! Ah, I wish I could see it!

[believeit]

Well maybe one day they'll let us have our powers back, and you will see it!

[cakelover]

It's a promise, then! If that happens, maybe we can all play!

[believeit]

We definitely should!

[cakelover]

Then it's a date, a date!

[believeit]

A....date?

[cakelover]

Yeah! A plan, you know?

[believeit]

Ohh. I thought you were talking about a..y'know. Date.

[cakelover]

Ah, I think you're probably too young to be dating me!

[ ...NOT THE POINT... ]

But it's a saying, ne?

[believeit]

Why would I be too young? I'm sixteen y'know!

But uh-- yeah. It's just a saying.

[cakelover]

Oh, really? I suppose that's only three years, then~! I thought you were younger, maybe!

[ HE'S ONE TO TALK... ]

Yep! I think dates are normally to go eat cake, too, not to have a sparring match or demonstration?

[believeit]

What, you're nineteen? You look younger than I am!

[...this guy...]

Yea, I guess that's what dates are.

[cakelover]

Ah, I get that a lot~! But I am, I'm in university!

Although having a sparring match on a date might be fun! Is that what you would do on one?

[ what are they talking about ]

[believeit]

I dunno if I'd spar on a date. I mean.. it would be bad if you gave your date a black eye or something, or hurt them by accident right?

[why even.]

[cakelover]

Oh, that's true...maybe that's something you'd only do after a date, or on a later date? Ah, and only if your date could do that sort of thing...

Eating cake is probably the best for a first date activity, then!

[believeit]

Eating ramen sounds better to me!

[cakelover]

In that case, ramen for dinner and cake for dessert!

[believeit]

That sounds perfect!
