001. [Video/Action for New Bark Town]

[Hello hello! This morning is looking to be a chilly one, if the view of New Bark Town over this particular feed is any indication; the ground is covered in a crisp blanket of white, the scenery is undisturbed, and the...uh, well, the feed is suddenly winging upward to shoot you a lovely and vaguely motion-sickness-inducing view of the sky. There's a soft, childish noise of fascination with it before the view shifts again - when it finally focuses on something that isn't the trees or the passing clouds, its camera appears to have settled on a young boy. He looks to be around the age of ten, with messy black hair and dark eyes that seem to be glittering with a violet tint to them.

...he also looks like he's freezing, because what on earth is being dressed properly for this weather. Seems he didn't get the memo that hey, it's cold outside, a coat is probably a good idea.

However! He's smiling despite the cold, offering the brightest 8D expression that a young boy can give through that much shivering.]


Ah, so is this how this works? Um...hello! My name is Selim Bradley, and it seems that I'm...well, a bit lost...

[His gaze shifts a bit, suddenly downcast, and he frowns, thinking.]

I woke up in a strange house, you see, with a woman claiming to be my mother - but I'd never seen her before in my life! My real mother is probably worried sick; she and Father warned me that this might happen one day. My father is a very important person; there was always the fear that I would be kidnapped in the night. So it's really urgent that I get back to them right away!

I'm sure my father would be willing to offer you some sort of reward for helping sort this out - if anyone can tell me how to get in contact with Fuhrer King Bradley, I need to know right away.

Tha-

[He jumps suddenly and stops short, having been interrupted by a godawful screech from somewhere behind him; a Misdreavus is visible behind him when he turns his body to look at it. When he returns to the device, his expression is...more than a little sheepish.]

Thank you for listening, and if anyone knows where I can, um, return this pet that was given to me - wait, is that rude? Because I don't mean to be rude! I just...don't...really want it, and that strange man in town refuses to take it back, he just welcomes me to the world of, um, po-kay-mons again.

...yes, I think that's all. Thanks again!

[...all right, Selim's not sure if this is good or not. He'll just settle for brightsmiling! Hopeful! We are hopeful, yes we are!]

Yes, that's what I said! Do you know him, then?

Ah, well, I've heard of him from a friend of mine....

Oh?

[...what have you heard. what have you heard deets deets deets]

Good things, right...? Some people don't like him very much because he's leading the country. They might do or say bad things.

Well...[Er, probably shouldn't tell the kid his dad's a monster and trying to kill the world.]

Mostly that he's the head honcho, really!

That's right! I want to join the military one day, so I can help him with it!

[Smiling! Smiling - oh god this is so awkward

It's very good that he's practiced at this - it nicely covers the fact that he's slowly dying inside.]


Hey, who's this friend of yours, anyway? The one you've heard things from!

Oh, his name's Ed. Ed Elric. I think they call him the "Fullmetal" something?

Ah~!

[SUDDENLY, THE MOST EXCITED!]

You know Edward Elric?! The Fullmetal Alchemist, right? He's the youngest State Alchemist ever, and he's strong and cool and...kinda short but that's okay, even if he gets mad about it sometimes! I got to meet him once and he was...it was just the greatest!

[This is bad. If that's really the person you're talking about, this is likely really bad; Ed's possibly been causing problems for Kimblee at Briggs, there's a good chance he knows if he's been telling people about the Fuhrer, but for now Selim is just going to be a good little fanboy.]

Yeah, he throws one heck of a punch! Though, you should've seen him in the Mudkip costume. [Danny starts laughing at that one.] Hahahaha! If my stupid camera phone had been working!

It's a Pokemon. I think there's an entry in the Pokedex for it.
