VIDEO/TEXT🍃
[ VIDEO: AFTERNOON ]
[ The background of trees familiar to a certain town fills the video as Sakura remains perched high up on a branch of one. A bit of movement and there, finally the camera was angled on her. Despite the unsettling additions from Konoha, she seems to be in a pleasant mood. Finally having mastered her poker face, she leans back against the trunk with a knee pulled towards her chest. ]
A great deal of us rely on the PokeGear listing as a roster of those we know, but that's not the best resource. How many of you have been surprised at seeing someone younger or older than you last saw them? [ Or how many of them have seen the dead come back to life? ] The whole thing is unsettling when you think about it so I've given it a great deal of thought myself. When a person first arrives, they're already so overwhelmed with the situation that adding more pressure may do more harm than good. Wouldn't it be easier to assign an individual to speak with them to discover what they might have witnessed in their life to better protect them?
Well, I'm not sure about that myself. This world has a surprisingly low amount of counsel when it comes to problems of that nature. [ Is she just talking to be talking? Yes, but it's keeping her from being bummed out from other things. ] Anyway, I'd like to keep a roster of things for my own personal record so if you're an ally of mine from back home, do us both a favor and just tell me what you last remember.
[ Adding on strictly: ] In private. I'm not saying I'd be a counselor for that kind of thing, but it'd be nice to keep a personalized roster.
[ TEXT: NIGHT ]
[ Sometime later in the day (likely after she's had several conversations with others), Sakura will sit down to communicate once more with the network over the PokeGear. While she's neglected the world of Pokemon when it came to her peers (she's too distracted with other concerns), Sakura makes up for it by studying the vast amounts of information there is on the subject. Most of the time this takes place before she sleeps, suffering from late night and short bursts of rest. This comes in later in the evening, maybe at a hour that most would be asleep. ]
I've been working on better balancing my Pokemon party, but I'm not sure who would make a good choice for the sixth Pokemon.
I have a Happiny, Blaziken, Audino, Petilil, and Joltik.
That means I have the following types covered: normal, fire, grass, and electric.
What would you suggest to balance the team?
I'd like to capture or maybe even trade for a new one since I've had to take care of a lot of baby Pokemon as of recent.
Although I do read that's even better in the long run so maybe I'll just hatch a new one.
Experienced trainers, what do you think?
I'm looking to win.

PERMA-PRIVATE
It's all right. By looking at the gym guide, I was able to get 16 of the 17 types. I've already started my notes. We can compare them in person if you wish. [ Sakura's boldness gets points from Tsunade, but not enough for her to actually ... excuse that. ]
The last thing I remember is the rest of my Kage comrades falling to Madara's attacks, with myself following after a scuffle. [ She's not going to reveal she's currently lying cut in half back home and scare Sakura. Instead, she's going to keep it a light lie. ]
PERMA-PRIVATE
[ Neglecting the Pokemon bit in favor of what's more important, Sakura focuses on that bit as the thoughts come together in her mind. If there's anyone here she knows she can trust, it's the woman on the other PokeGear. ]
What about Obito?
PERMA-PRIVATE
You mean Kakashi's dead friend? What about him? I know he's here, but that's it.
no subject
[ Sakura herself doesn't trust the PokeGear enough, even under a private filter. ]
We need to meet up at once.
There are some things you need to know and I rather you hear them from my mouth.
I won't be surprised if Naruto beats me to it.
You know how he is.
no subject
I agree. I'll be making my way towards you shortly with his teammate, which means I'm bound to run into him. I am also aware of Naruto's giant mouth, as he told Sasuke - or tried to tell him - about the Uchiha clan. That's a PR mess right there.
no subject
[ Wait until she informs Tsunade how upset people were with her or that they were being targeted by a member of Team Rocket. ]
There's been a lot of trouble here.
I've only heard about a bit of it, but I guess that's to be expected.
The culture shock must be a lot to handle for the younger ones.
no subject
[ She's... not going to see how wrong she was for that. There are like thirty billion of you guys and one of him. Y'all should've pulled yourselves together. ]
A lot of trouble? Hmm... well, I guess things wouldn't be the same without Konoha meddling in other country's affairs again. [ thank you danzo, uchihas, etc. ] Are the younger ones the trouble makers? I think age isn't really a factor here. [ naruto joke #2. ]
no subject
I'm not going to name names or point fingers. [ NARUTO ]
Like I said, it's the culture shock.
Even brandishing anything as a weapon is worth getting thrown into jail for a week or two.
Then there's people from all different timelines so of course some events are revealed to others when they shouldn't be known.
Keeping up is a mess, but I'll have a proper report to submit to you in person when we meet.
scatter my ashes @ naruto
Strict laws. I'm suddenly fortunate that I've never needed a weapon besides my knuckles to get around things.
I'll look forward to the report. Afterwords, we can go over names for your pokémon. Even if you do not feel a connection to them, they're like personal summons so they should be regarded as such.
