★2 [Video]

[The video opens on America's legs. He's rolled up his pant legs and is sitting at the edge of the lake on Route 30, dangling his feet in the water. A sleeping hoppip rests on his knees.]

I'm kind of worried about Pinky you guys. [He turns the 'gear around to focus on his face, with Liberty on his shoulder as usual.] She's level 5 already and she still can't do any attacks. D'you think it's cause it's so hot maybe? Like, is she wilting or something? I keep givin' her berries and makin' sure she has enough water an' all. She seems happy and everything, I mean... but she just sorta flops around. Like a magikarp.

...Maybe she'll evolve into something really cool? But man, she's so cute. [He turns the camera to show the hoppip again, reaching down to skritch the base of her leaves.] I kinda don't want her ending up some freaky monster thing.

It's better than 'Canada,' amirite?

[He laughs. At this point, the Rufflet lands directly in front of the 'gear and tilts his head, sticking one beady eye right into the lens.]

...whoa! George Washington, c'mon. Get outta the way.

[Omg dude.]

You named him George Washington?

Of course I did. It's the perfect name.

[Did Washington just peck at the lens?

...he sure did. Harry grabs him and hauls him into his lap. The bird wriggles, squawks, and fusses.]

He sure is feisty enough, huh?

[America laughs. Liberty has taken an interest in the 'gear after hearing the squawking of his compatriot.]

Oh man it totally is. I'm sure he'd be proud.

Who, George Washington?

[Harry's Rufflet tilts his head in when he hears his name, but Harry waves him off.]

Man, I'd hope so. I've got — actually, this might sound silly, but my roster is mostly named in honor of famous Americans. Like — I've got a team of Mightyena named after the first Supreme Court justices. A bunch of presidents, too.

Dude, no way, that's awesome.

It's real great meetin' people like you, y'know? I mean, that really really care.

Of course I care. I love my country.

[cryingeagle.gif]

I guess you must too, huh? With that name.

I love my citizens so much. [Sobsob so emotional.]

...pardon?

[He totally heard that wrong.]

You're all awesome.

...are you about to tell me —

[He breaks off, laughing.

No. NOPE.]

Hm? Tell you what?

[Harry takes a breath. He really can't believe he's about to ask this.]

You're not... America the country, are you?

I already said that!

No, I mean the actual country.

[Which sounds hysterically stupid, considering that Harry is talking to a human.

...he thinks.]

[Well, in this setting at least.]

The one and only!

[Harry has ACTUAL STARS IN HIS EYES.

Except not really.

But he feels like he should.]

I, uh.

It's —

[omg so this is what meeting a celebrity is like]

It's a real honor, sir.

[Stars AND stripes.

Aaaaa he loves his babies so much.]

D'aw, you don't have to call me Sir. Just America's fine.

[FOREVER...!]

O... kay. Sure. America.

[But no, really, is this, like, actually a thing that's happening.]

Where are you, right now? Because if you're ever near Saffron...

I'm on Route 30 right now, but we should totally hang out!!

[Harry looks like a kid in the most patriotic candy store ever. Or something.]

So — Johto? I haven't been there in a while. That's near... Cherrygrove?

Yeah, I just left Cherrygrove.

I haven't been here too long, I'm still workin' on gettin' into the cities.

It takes some time, on foot. I think it must be worth it, though — I kinda skipped all that. I'd love to travel around someday, though.

So when'd you get here?

Little over a week ago I guess. But you can't really train your pokemon if you're not on the routes, right?

How'd you manage to skip it even?
