1st Bubble [Video]

[used_bubble]

[The video feed of the gear turns on to show a close-up of a Squirtle's face. It taps at the screen curiously for a moment, before a voice comes in from offscreen.]

Don't play with that. You'll break it.

[The gear gets taken away from the Squirtle, which seems to pout at having its new toy taken away. The feed turns around to show Utakata, sends out a stream of bubbles with his bubble blower. He sighs as they start to pop, looking out at some random spot in the distance rather that at the 'gear.]

If anyone else can see this, I apologize.

Since it appears to already be recording, I may as well ask now. Someone in this village mentioned there were a few others that arrived here who called themselves shinobi.

I'd like to know who they are.

It's not hard for me to keep a low profile. I'm used to it.

[He pauses for a moment at that question, but reluctantly answers. Not the whole answer, but he has no idea what Naruto already knows.]

I was defeated by a group of shinobi wearing black robes with red clouds.

That's those Akatsuki guys. Yeah, I heard they got all the Jinjuuriki apart from me and Octopops.

Video-private

[used_bubble]

I see.

[He wonders how Naruto knows about all that, but there's bound to be other times to talk about that.]

So what can you tell me about travelling around here?

Be careful going into the tall grass since that's where a lot of the wild pokemon live. Some will attack you so be ready to fight 'em with your own, then you can capture them if you want.

Those red and white ball things in your bag? You just sort of... throw them at weakened creatures and capture them. Then you take them out to battle! It's sort of like summoning, hehe.

And oh yeah, if you take a job anywhere don't leave early.

[He's sort of in jail right now..]

[used_bubble]

What would I need a job for?

[Naruto, have you forgotten that he's lived off the land for quite some time?]

Video-private

[believeit]

[Probably.]

Incase you wanna pay for somewhere to stay instead of camping out, or to buy one of those really expensive train tickets or something. Y'know.

[used_bubble]

I think I'll take my chances outside.

Video-private

[believeit]

Fine, suit yourself.

Video-private

[used_bubble]

I usually do.

Video-private

[believeit]

Yeah, well..

You know where to find me if you need help or anything!

Video-private

[used_bubble]

On this thing, right?

Video-private

[believeit]

Yeah! It's called a Pokegear apparently.

Video-private

[used_bubble]

Apparently. So what can you tell me about keeping...that occupied.

[He points over at the Squirtle.]

Video-private

[believeit]

Haha! You got a little turtle!

[Just a sec, he's going to grin at the little thing.]

It depends on their personalities really. Like the one I got at the beginning, he's happy just hanging out with me, but some of the others are really energetic and wanna battle all the time.

[used_bubble]

It just doesn't seem to want to leave me alone.

[believeit]

That's 'cause you're it's trainer now! That guy's gonna follow you to wherever you go!

[used_bubble]

[Siiiiiiiiiigh.]

Wonderful.

Video-private

[believeit]

Have you thought of a name for it yet?

Video-private

[used_bubble]

Am I supposed to?

Video-private

[believeit]

Well you don't have to, but I think it's good to give them their own names, and such.

Video-private

[used_bubble]

I'll think about it.

Video-private

[believeit]

Okay!

And hey, we should definitely try to meet up again soon! If you don't have anyone to travel with you can always come with us, Shino and Yumi won't mind!

[used_bubble]

Where are you?

Video-private

[believeit]

I'm.. [in jail.] in this town called Saffron right now.

I left New Bark Town a few hours ago.
