Intro Video

[unbroken_chain]

The camera feed shows a small apartment, well furnished and neat but not looking particularly lived in. Facing the screen is a young woman with long chestnut hair pulled back in a thick braid, smiling brightly.

"We just finished filming the remake of The Giant Woman so I finally have some time to myself after that demon duck thing!"

She stretches a little before propping her chin on one hand and smiling.

"I'm Kotoha Lobelia, actress, Pokemon Trainer, and part-time demon hunter. C'mon, ask me anything!"

"I'm Kotoha! Nice to meet you, Red!"

Dunno if you wanna end this ear, or keep going or make a new thread but I'm down for Whatever <3

[red_of_the_dead]

So like...how do I use this thing to find you Kotoha?

I'm not so great with technology.

Let's keep going!

[unbroken_chain]

"Here, watch this!"

Kotoha makes the gesture to open the menu and very carefully moves so it's visible to Red as she moves through.

"See, I'm listed on Pokemon Gameverse, and you're under...'Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ'."

Well that's a hell of a name.

Woo!

[red_of_the_dead]

Yeah my world is...not subtle?

[She copies the movements carefully and lets out a happy noise when she finds Kotoha's name clicking on it right away!]

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha's apartment has a large window that lets the sunlight in. As Red pops in, a dog-like noise comes from the small kitchen off to the side and Arthur, Kotoha's Lucario, looks into the room. He's wearing an apron.

Kotoha, meanwhile, smiles widely and greets Red with a hug.

"Welcome to my place!"

[red_of_the_dead]

Red is positively beaming! She loves exploring and making new friends so when the hug is initiated she lets out a happy cheer and hugs back with surprising strength and some less surprising boob smothering in the process.

"Oh thank you so much for inviting me! Your place is so NICE! I'm used to camping out and stuff!" She even waves politely at the Lucario.

[unbroken_chain]

Arthur very pointedly looks at Kotoha, tilting his head to the side and staring at her with a flat expression before turning around and walking back into the kitchen.

Kotoha is just very happy with the boob smothering, honestly.

"I do a lot of camping out too!"

[red_of_the_dead]

“Awesome!” This was fun! So fun Red forgot to let go as she spun slowly to take in the apartment.

“I can’t imagine doing lava training here though! You’d melt your furniture! Where do we start?”

[unbroken_chain]

"W-well, could you let me go first?"

[red_of_the_dead]

"O-oh! Oh yes of course! Sorry!"

Setting her down with a flustered chuckle she takes the time to make sure her new friends clothes are straightened out, smoothing them with her hands.

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha blushes a little before outlining the plan.

"Okay, so first we'll Fly out to a training spot, I'll get Cinder to make some lava, we'll practice, and then I'll have Tomoe cool it down. Sound good?"

[red_of_the_dead]

"Yes! So long as you don't expect me to fly under my own power. I can jump pretty high and far but not like flying."

Just to give a demonstration she jumped in place a few times making...pretty much all of her bounce and wobble.

"I'll go anywhere you want!"

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha walks over to the window and throws it open, then pauses as Arthur walks into the room and hands her a wrapped bento. She puts it in her storage space and pulls out an Ultra Ball and releases Solar Logos. The massive six-winged moth trills a greeting, and Kotoha waves Red over.

"Okay, so just climb up with me and Solar Logos will Fly us there!"

[red_of_the_dead]

"Ohmigawd they're so cute and fluffy!" Red squealed racing over to the window and skidding to a stop to wave gently and speak in a softer voice.

"Hello there Solar Logos! Do you mind giving me a ride today?"

Once she has permission she'll all too eagerly scramble on giggling like a child at the thrill of what they are about to do.

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha swings up beside Red and reaches out one hand to ruffle the moth's white fluff.

"We're going to the Fire training ground, okay?"

The Volcarona rumbles in agreement and takes off, surrounding himself and his passengers with a bubble of force to prevent them from being blown off.

And since Kotoha is addicted to spectacle, she trained Solar Logos to envelope the outside of the force bubble with fire, so from below it looks like a fiery comet is streaking across the sky.

[red_of_the_dead]

[Red is squealing and laughing with delight clinging to the mothlike pokemon and howling with glee because this is the coolest way she's ever traveled from one place to another!!!!]

FASTER! FASTER! WHOOOOOO!

[unbroken_chain]

There's a sound like a clap of thunder as Solar Logos goes faster, and it's not very long before they arrive at a barren scrubland. Kotoha hops down from her moth and strikes a dramatic pose.

"Alrighty! The pulse of the earth resounds in my blood! Geomancer...TRANSFORM!"

A sparkling green light like summer leaves rises up from the ground at her feet and covers her entire body. Spinning around, the light scatters and Kotoha winks flirtatiously at Red.

Her outfit is different, so the impact should be pretty high.

[red_of_the_dead]

Red cackled and giggled gleefully as they arrived slipping from Solar Logos, her hair frizzy and messy from the wind, ponytails puffed out at the tips. Her eyes were unfocused and crossed as she tried to smooth out her blond locks and watched the transformation with interest.

"OH...Oh my~"

Clearly she approved of Kotoha's new outfit. "That's...so beautiful!!!!"

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha giggles a little and does a little spin to show off.

"I know! I'm not sure why it looks like this, but I really like it!"

There's a pause as she returns Solar Logos to his pokeball and releases a new Pokemon with a second pokeball.

"Cinder!"

Kotoha affectionately scratches the underside of the Heatran's jaw as she greets the Pokemon.

"Cinder, this is my new friend Red! We're gonna teach her to walk on lava like I do, so could you make a pool for us?"

[red_of_the_dead]

Red can't help but cheer and applaud at the show, watching with fascination at the next pokemon to arrive.

"They really have a pokemon for everything don't they? I wonder if they have any wolf types..." She mused off handedly while skipping closer to Kotoha and darting her gaze back and forth between the pokemon and the trainer's outfit.

"Thank you for helping Cinder! I wanna get stronger just like you and your trainer!"

[unbroken_chain]

Cinder nudges Red with her face, rumbling gently, before turning around. Rearing up on her hind legs, she slams her forelimbs into the ground, creating a crater. Backing up a step, she opens her mouth and lets lava drool out from between her teeth before stopping and walking off to the side to watch.

Kotoha taps one bare foot against the ground thoughtfully before stepping on the lava and jumping up and down on it before giving Cinder a thumb's-up.

"Nice elasticity on it this time! New diet's paying off, huh?"

[red_of_the_dead]

"Whoa!" Despite her skill Red still found herself stumbling at the impact caused by Cinder, falling on her ample rear and watching in awe as a lava pool was created where none had existed only seconds before.

"Seriously how does any other universe compete with these guys?" Red mumbled shoving herself back to her feet. By the time she had smoothed out her short skirt Kotoha was already showing off her skills.

"See I just don't get it. Like...how are you not either burning a flame filled death, or sinking under the liquid fire?"

Red's knowledge of science was not her strongest area, though she had a suspicion science had little to do with what was happening here.

[unbroken_chain]

Pause to consider.

"...you know, that's a good question. I know when I have my Persona active I absorb excessive heat to fuel my regeneration, but it's not active right now...Hm."

She extends one hand.

"Okay, so as long as we maintain skin contact I can extend the effect to you, so would you like to try?"

[red_of_the_dead]

"Oh thank goodness. I was afraid it was something obvious that I was too dumb to get."

She laughed her booming laugh to make her chest bounce again and then took Kotoha's hand eagerly giving it a firm squeeze.

"I'm game to try!" She declares before gingerly stepping onto the Lava and bracing herself for horrible pain.

[unbroken_chain]

There is absolutely none of that! Kotoha's walk-on-lava trick does, as advertised, extend to anyone she touches. It feels a little like walking on a firm mattress.

"So, whatever you do, don't let go of me, okay?"
