★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.

You named him George Washington?

[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?
video;
Oh man it totally is. I'm sure he'd be proud.

[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.

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

[cryingeagle.gif]
I guess you must too, huh? With that name.

[He totally heard that wrong.]

[He breaks off, laughing.
No. NOPE.]

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

video;
[Which sounds hysterically stupid, considering that Harry is talking to a human.
...he thinks.]
video;
The one and only!
video;
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.
video;
Aaaaa he loves his babies so much.]
D'aw, you don't have to call me Sir. Just America's fine.
video;
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...

video;
So — Johto? I haven't been there in a while. That's near... Cherrygrove?
video;
I haven't been here too long, I'm still workin' on gettin' into the cities.
video;
So when'd you get here?
video;
How'd you manage to skip it even?
video;
[A pause, followed by a sheepish smile.]
But you might need more than a week for that.
