Video 2: Being Human (Action for Cherrygrove City)

[justanexpression]

[Obviously, someone has been practicing. When the feed kicks on, it's a properly framed picture of one Jack Frost. He's set up camp in the woods fringing Cherrygrove City with a good view of the beach and a frolicking Seel in the background behind him. He also looks more cheerful and less confused than last time.

Oh, and the egg in his lap. That's new, too.]

So, everyone was awesome about answering my questions last time, now I've got more of them.

Cherrygrove is nice. Been here a couple days, now. [He gestures over his shoulder.] You can tell Phil likes it. Kind of got lost on the way here, yeah, yeah, I know it's a straight line, okay, and Phil is about as slow as slow can be, but now that I'm here, I've got this guy. [He pokes at the egg. It's blue and white and people in the know might recognize it as a Pachirisu egg. Jack is not in the know.] Or girl. How do you tell?

For that matter, what do I do with it? Am I supposed to keep it warm? Someone mentioned a deal for new people just showing up, and that's totally me, so I, uh... just kind of hit buttons until I saw something that sounded good, but now I'm thinking that wasn't the best idea?

[He takes a second to glance over his shoulder, probably to make sure his Seel hadn't been eaten by a shark in the last few minutes or anything. If nothing else, this place seems to be teaching him a really strange sense of responsibility. If only Bunny could see him now.

He resettles, placing the gear on the ground in front of him so it can pick up a full body shot, including the sneakers he wasn't wearing before.]

Okay, second question, and... I know how crazy this sounds, but at least some of you weren't human before getting here, right? Pretty sure I've met one already. [Again, unless Thor's parents had some ridiculous delusions of grandeur.] So the question is- how do you stand it? Not the being here, that's turning out pretty cool, but the rest of it. All the getting hungry, and tired, and walking everywhere, not to mention buying stuff. Am I gonna have to get a- [shudder] -job?

Eggs don't need to be kept warm to hatch, strangely enough. All they need is some time-- they have hatching dates. [Unfortunately Hope's not familiar with the Pachirisu species.]

As a human though, I cant tell you how it is because this is how i've been all my life. However, if you get the right Pokémon and raise it properly, it will be able to carry you.

So I heard. [Yeah, he's still coveting Dennis.] I've got something to work to, then. I don't think Phil's gonna be good for that unless I feel like going swimming.

[Said Seel has decided to flop his way over from the beach. Obviously, even he has had enough surf for one day. Say hi, Phil.]

And I imagine he's too small to carry you.

[Besides, Seel are very decidedly for the water.]

[Which is totally great for Phil. Everyone should have their strengths. Just not so awesome for Jack and his ideas of riding grandly into town mounted on the head of a Gyarados.]

He really is. Even if he is heavier than he looks. [Phil should never sit on him again. Really not.]

-Seel!-

I can imagine that he is. [Water types are generally pretty heavy.]

Land Pokémon though... they're better on getting you through to the next city till you get the Fly HM.
