Fourth Flake [video/action for Goldenrod]

[For once, when the 'gear flickers on, it doesn't show a hopelessly confused or concerned Elsa. This is good!! Very good.

Instead, there's a great look of excitement on the former queen's face. On her shoulder, a Kirlia clings to her shirt, eyes wide in the slats between its little helmet, mirroring its trainer's expression perfectly. Behind them, the massive buildings and skyscrapers of Goldenrod City can be seen, windows glinting in the afternoon sun.]

This is amazing! Don't you think so, Frigga?

[For someone who normally tries to stay as reserved as she possibly can while communicating over these devices, the sound of such unbridled wonder in her voice may be a bit of a change to hear.]

I didn't know buildings could get this tall... I've read about great castles and palaces in books and such, but I've never heard of anything as tall as this. [She smiles, turning to Frigga.] It sure is something, isn't it?

[Frigga smiles and nods, making a happy noise. Elsa then turns back to the gear.]

Are a lot of cities in this land this... big? Violet and Azalea were both decent enough, but they're nowhere near as extravagant as this city!

[There's a pause, then Elsa looks somewhat sheepish as she realizes just how excited she was just acting. O-Oh dear, and so many people saw...]

I'm sorry if I sound rather.... eager. But things like this... buildings and architecture and such... I've always had a fascination with them. And structures like this never got this big in Arendelle...

Are there more cities like this? Ones with interesting or unique architecture? [Boy, she sure does seem pretty darn eager...] Even if they're not anything like this... I'd like to know what cities to look forward to visiting!

[Oh Elsa, your inner nerd is shining through so beautifully...]

Wow, really? [Elsa had no idea. She really didn't know much about Anna's journey prior to Elsa arriving in Johto, really, aside from what pokemon she caught...]

Just how far along into this land were you before I arrived?

[She pulls up her map quickly and runs a finger along the places she went to..]

I didn't end up going very far. After I went to Violet, instead of going down to get to Azalea, I went west instead! I stayed in Ecruteak a little bit...I think you would like the Tin Tower there. It's ten stories high with simmering silver plates lining it, and it's got beautiful trees all around it...it's a very sacred place, and it's really well protected. They don't let you in unless you can prove you're worthy...

Apparently there's a legend behind it, that there were actually two of them next to one another at one point. The Tin Tower and the Brass Tower were made to honor hope and friendship between people and Pokemon. Apparently, there used to be legendary Pokemon that stayed on top of the towers...the guardian of the seas, strong enough to make and stop raging storms just by flapping its wings, and the guardian of the skies, that flew all over Johto and left rainbows wherever it went! But one day, the Brass Tower was struck by lightning, and burned for three days before a rainstorm finally put it out...three Pokemon perished in the fire, but the Rainbow Pokemon left its perch from the Tin Tower to bring them back from the dead before it went off to search for a pure-hearted trainer worthy enough to show itself to. The other Pokemon stopped the rainstorm before going down to the bottom of the sea to rest...

Oh wow, that's... incredible. And sad....

[If there's one thing Elsa loves as much as architecture, it's old legends. So this place just sounds.... amazing.]

So that should be the next town we visit... [She's eying the map, and smiles.]

Well, the Pokemon that were given new life are legends themselves now! From what I was told, they stand for the lightning bolt that started the fire, the fire itself, and the sudden downpour that put it out...the three Pokemon struck terror in the people that saw them rise, and fled all over. So even though it's a shame that the Brass Tower burned down, you can still visit what remains of it! Plenty of Pokemon and Trainers go there still. And it is where we're headed next...but first, we make a stop at the National Park, which is absolutely amazing and I can't wait to show it to you!

...Of course, one place at a time!

[Elsa laughs.] Of course. If we just keep moving too fast like we did after stopping through Azalea Town, things might get.... a bit overwhelming.

[And not really in a good way.]

Well, Azalea was definitely a more quiet place...don't lie, though, you had fun climbing through the treetops and stuff with me! This city, though, I feel like we're gonna be here a while exploring through everything...there's so much to do and see and everything! And so many friends to make...

[Just. Have a look, Anna.]

That was terrifying, and I'm still not exactly sure how you got me to do those crazy things with you.

... But you're right. This city... it almost seems like it was designed just to grab your attention and distract you for as long as possible.

Oh, please! You weren't so scared once you were next to me..!

But we'll take advantage of that as much as we can, then. Honestly, though, I don't even know where to start, there's so much here...

Well up until then it was quite terrifying...! I still don't understand how you can't be afraid of heights, Anna...

B-But yes, I agree. I have no idea where to start either, so it might be better to just. Take suggestions, perhaps...?

I scaled a whole mountain to get to you, Elsa. Heights are nothing!

[Of course, it certainly does help when there's a nice big staircase leading right to her, but, details...]

Maybe we should ask around, then? The people seem friendly enough!

[Elsa shakes her head, voice somewhat disbelieving as she speaks.]

I still can't believe you did tha...

[Hm. Anna's idea is good, of course, but looking at all the people rushing about from place to place...]

Do you think that'll help? Everyone seems so... busy. Too busy to help a couple of lost girls.

For you, a thousand times over!

[It's certainly a bit hectic here, but hey, even in a big place like this, there are always people who need to pause for a breath..]

Maybe if we stop by the Pokemon Center first, we can talk to the people there?

[Elsa laughs and reaches up, gently pinching Anna's cheek.]

You're like my own personal knight. Diving head-first and very stubbornly into reckless situations without a second thought.

And I agree, that sounds like a good idea. The people in the Centers of the other towns we've visited have certainly been helpful enough.

Oh, please! Next thing you know, I'm gonna be in shining armor gallivanting on a white horse...but I mean, really, you're my sister. I'd be a little remiss if I didn't go after you when you were in trouble, no matter how reckless it was!

[Just like her hero Joan..]

...Of course, we have to find the place first, though, don't we?

... Well. Your horse is white, isn't he? All you're missing is the armor.

[Hm...]

Do you think it would be a good idea to split up?

That's true! I even have a cape now and everything!

[She turns around, showing off the snazzy cape that she managed to snag from Lance's closet...]

That doesn't sound like too bad of an idea, though. We could definitely cover a lot of ground that way, and we could always call each other if we get lost...

I have an idea. We'll split up and look around, and I'll call you if I find it. And if neither of us manage to come across it after an hour, we'll hook back up again and bother someone to tell us. Sound good?

... You better hope the person who owned that house doesn't find out you took that. They might not be happy with you.

[Oh Anna....]

Okay, that sounds good to me. Where do you want to meet up again if we don't find it?

Oh, it's not like he'll miss one. There were so many in that closet I couldn't keep track of them! What could possibly happen?

[Try as Elsa might, there's no stopping Anna when she's set on something.]

Hm...oh, I know!

[She points to the Radio Tower; naturally, the biggest building would make for the best landmark, after all.]

That huge black building over there looks like a pretty good place to meet up in front of!

Oh, I don't know.... a collection like that means he must really love those kinds of clothes. Meaning he might be really mad if he finds one missing, even if they are completely identical. And then you might get in trouble.

[And she really doesn't want that...!]

... Hm. It certainly seems like a building that's impossible to miss. Good idea, Anna.

Well, what are the chances of me bumping into him? Besides, I mean, borrowing his cape was necessary to save the world! Did you see how close we were to beating that jerk? We totally would've won if it weren't for that legendary whale Pokemon! And this cape made us look that much more awesome while we beat him!

[Anna.......]

I honestly just picked the biggest one.

[.... Anna.]

I'm pretty sure our skill and the strength of our pokemon are what did it. Not.... how we were dressed.

Well, that is true! I mean, you were pretty amazing out there, after all...

...But the cape totally helped!

[Elsa sighs, shaking her head. Gosh Anna, you're just so weird sometimes...]

Fine, fine... if you really believe that, I'll try not to rain on your parade.
