My Great Big Adventure
"Welcome back to Pokemon Today! I'm your host, Christoph! And joining me this week… is Rosa!"
"Hello, everyone!"
"You probably know Rosa from her world-famous movies, such as Timegate Traveler!"
"Yes well… Let's get straight to the first topic of discussion: Mt. Moon!"
"Mt. Moon… A mystical location in the Kanto Region! It's quite beautiful!"
"Oh, so Christoph, you have actually been to Mt. Moon?"
"Yes indeed, Rosa! Word is, you can sometimes see Clefairy dancing at night!"
"Oh, wow! Did you see the Clefairy when you were there?"
"I don't think so… unless they were invisible…!"
"…"
"How about a poll from the studio audience? Am I right? Are Clefairy invisible?"
"…Christoph, I don't think—"
"Votes are in! And the audiences says… Clefairy have been sighted by several travelers, all occurring during a full moon!"
"Of course they aren't invisible—"
"A full moon…? I see! So, Clefairy are werewolves! They should be called… Wereclefs!"
"…"
"Rosa, if you don't really like being on tv or in movies, why are you here?"
"…I told you, I have a contract."
"But your movie was delayed; I saw it on the schedule. So why are you still here? You're a trainer, right?"
"How do you know that?"
"…! I, uhh, saw your Pokeballs in your dressing room…?"
"You went in my room…?!"
"No! I mean… I just saw them in passing, yeah! Your door was open."
"That's weird; I always close my door…"
"Maybe one of the cleaners forgot to close it…"
"Hmmm, maybe. Anyway, yes, I am a trainer, but that doesn't mean I always have to be training, right?"
"No, but I still want to know why you're here when you clearly don't want to be. Oh, don't give me that look. I can tell you think the show's script is stupid."
"Well, it is! 'Wereclefs'? Oh please…"
"Ha ha, yeah that was a bit much… You still haven't answered my question though."
"Why do you want to know?"
"Because I do."
"Why?"
"Why do I have to have a reason?"
"…because I said so."
"And I said because I do."
"You're impossible!"
"I think you mean impossibly handsome."
"…"
"Look, you're blushing!"
"I am not! I'm just… angry. You bother me!"
"Ha ha, you're pretty cute when you blush…"
"Erm… Oh, just lay off! I'm here because I needed to get away!"
"From what?"
"Not a what. A who."
"Oh."
"Yeah."
"…boyfriend?"
"What?! No! I don't have a boyfriend… He's just a friend! Well, maybe… I don't know if we're still friends."
"I'm sorry to hear that."
"Not your fault."
"Well, actually… I mean… Sometimes I need a break too; all the publicity can be a bit much."
"For you? Ha! I'd have never guessed…"
"Ha ha, very funny. Actually, on my days off, I like to sleep in. What do you like to do on your— Oh, how rude of me to ask such a question of a lady!"
"Wait, what—?"
"We should get back to work!"
"…?"
"Hi everyone! I'm your host, Christoph!"
"And I'm Rosa! On today's show, we have a live interview with Humilau City's gym leader, Marlon! How's the weather over there, Marlon?"
"Oh it's fantastic, Rosa! You and Christoph should come surfing with me sometime!"
"So, Marlon, you're famous for your amazing jumping ability! How do you manage to jump like that?"
"Yo, Christoph! Know a Pokemon called Mantine? While swimmin' on the water's surface, it gets goin' faster and faster and flies clear over the waves! I grew up next to the ocean, all filled with Mantine."
"An entire ocean of Mantine…? Wow!"
"Christoph, I don't think he means exclusively of Mantine—"
"Yo! I thought someday I'd like to jump higher than those Mantine. That's it."
"Wow, that's amazing! I guess if you don't realize something is impossible and you just try, sometimes you can actually pull it off!"
"But Christoph, he never said it was impossible—"
"I'll catch you two later; I'm a go surf now! 'bye!"
"Are you thinking about your friend?"
"Hmmm?"
"The one you're avoiding."
"Oh. Well, rather… I'm trying not to."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"I don't know… He's still my friend and I feel guilty thinking poorly of him."
"Why do you feel guilty?"
"…because he's my only friend. Without him, I have… no one. And before you ask, yes I have Pokemon. But sometimes it's not the same."
"You have me."
"What?"
"Well, I consider you a friend."
"You do? But we barely know each other."
"Oh, that's right… Well, friends can't start off knowing all about each other, right? We can get to know each other."
"Why?"
"Because I like you."
"…?"
"I mean! That is, I like you as a person! I think it would be nice to be friends with you!"
"Christoph."
"Yes?"
"You're blushing."
"Oh! Well…"
"You're kind of cute when you blush."
"…! Wait! Rosa, come back! Only 'kind of' cute?"
"Welcome back to Pokemon Today! I'm Christoph!"
"And I'm Rosa!"
"And have we got a show for you! We have here, in the studio, a real, live Darmanitan!"
"…of course it's live and real! What else—"
"I've never met a Darmanitan before! Have you, Rosa?"
"Well, I've battled a few…"
"But you've never come across one in the wild?"
"I don't think so… Christoph, what are you doing?!"
"I just want to pet him!"
"Or her."
"Why hello there, Mr. Darmanitan~ How are you today?!"
"MAA-NITAAA!"
"I don't think this one is too friendly, Christoph—"
"Nonsense! I think he likes me! Isn't that right, you big ol' softie?"
"DAAAAARR!"
"No, Christoph, you've—!"
"AAAH, help me! He's trying to crush me!"
"Well maybe if you hadn't insulted him—"
SMASH!
"Oouff! Obviously he… is a she…"
"Rosa! Are you ok?! I caught you—"
"…can you get your hands off my…?"
"…!"
"Stop blushing and move your hand!"
"Sorry!"
"DARUUUUUU!"
SMASH, SMASH!
"EEEK!" "AAAHHH!"
