12th Lullaby ♫ - Action for Goldenrod || Video Post

[the_whitequeen]

[ Johto can probably finally get a break from their usual music playing in the background.

Mister Pink the Jigglypuff and Liana the Mawile are at it again. They have taken Lacus's gear again without her permission. Lacus's video of her singing was coming out and they wanted to make sure that everyone would be able to see it. At the moment, Lacus was walking around Goldenrod looking for those two.

Mister Pink was first to appear on the screen. To most people, he may sound like he is talking nonsense --- but in Pokespeak: "Lacus-sama's performance is playing. Please watch it!"

They pointed the camera towards the multiple screens to show a video of Lacus Clyne's performance on screen. It was a video of her performing in one of the cafes that she worked for. ]

In this quiet night, I'm waiting for you
During that time, your smile has faded away
Now that a little time has passed,
Fond memories start to resurface ...

[ A little after the song ended, the sound of footsteps interrupted and a relieved voice spoke. ]

There you two are ... I was so worried about you.

I was afraid you got lost --- ara? What have you two been up to?

[ Both Liana and Mister Pink grinned and smiled proudly as they told Diao Chan that was their trainer.

A moment later, Lacus appeared behind them --- looking worried and relieved. ]

There you two are ... I was so worried about you.

I was afraid you got lost --- ara? What have you two been up to?

Ara ara? You two found a new friend?

[Diao Chan extends a paw to Lacus for a handshake. Meanwhile, China was walking up the path that Diao Chan had just come from. He doesn't seem to be in any rush, though.]

action

[the_whitequeen]

[ Lacus hasn't noticed China yet. She was much too amused by Diao Chan. She kneels down and accepts the offer for a handshake. ]

It is nice to meet a friend of Mister Pink and Liana ...

[ Smiling softly and with mild shyness. ] I suppose you saw that as well ...

action

[gochuugoku]

[Diao Chan nods her head, smiling. This is where China's finally caught up.]

Oh? Making more new friends, Diao Chan? [Then he addresses Lacus with a smile, bowing his head in greeting, just as Diao Chan did with Mister Pink and Liana.] Nihao.

action; 1/2

[the_whitequeen]

[ At the sound of China's voice, Lacus turned around. ]

Nihao?

action; 2/2

[the_whitequeen]

[ At his exotic-looking appearance, she began to understand and returned his smile. He was from China --- and he was saying, hello. ]

Hello as well. Diao Chan ... ara ara...

[ Turning to Mienfoo. ]

... is that your name?

action

[gochuugoku]

[The Pokemon nods, as does China.]

Yes, it is her name. It's after one of the Four Beauties of China. Diao Chan was said to be so luminously lovely that the moon itself would shy away in embarrassment when compared to her face.

action

[the_whitequeen]

That is so sweet ... it is very kind of you to give such a beautiful name to her ...

... oh! How very rude of me. I should introduce myself. [ She stands and extends her hand to China. ] My name is Lacus Clyne. I am pleased to meet you and ... Diao Chan.

These are my Pokemon ... Mister Pink and Liana.

action

[gochuugoku]

[China takes her hand.] And I am Wang Yao, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mister Pink, and Liana as well. I'm sure Diao Chan feels the same.

[She nods her head.]

Say, were you the one who was on the screen just now?

action

[the_whitequeen]

Yes. It looks like someone had videotaped one of my performances in the place where I work.

I am glad someone thought I was talented enough to have a broadcast like this.

This will really help a lot to find better jobs in the future.

action

[gochuugoku]

You shouldn't have much difficulty now, you have such a beautiful voice, aru.

Were you a singer back home?

action

[the_whitequeen]

[ Nods. ] ... but I had stopped since I was sixteen.

action

[gochuugoku]

Oh? But why?

action

[the_whitequeen]

Because there is ... something else I thought I should do.

action

[gochuugoku]

Ah.

And are you happy with your decision?

action

[the_whitequeen]

[ She looked back at the two year. Her years with Kira and the children. Lacus positively glowed. ]

I never regretted one moment of it.

action

[gochuugoku]

[He smiles.] That's what really matters, then.

You haven't lost your touch in the singing arts either, or it does not seem like it from what I saw on the screen.

action

[the_whitequeen]

[ Smiling back. ]

What I really want ... is for people to be happy and make people smile.

I learned while I was young that the fastest way to do that is through music.

action

[gochuugoku]

That's really beautiful. Not to mention pure.

I hope everything goes well for you then. I know music did a lot to cheer me up when I was small.

action

[the_whitequeen]

It did? But I am not surprised ...

Your people ... have always made such beautiful lullabies.

action

[gochuugoku]

Oh? The Chinese? Yes, they have, haven't they. I remember the ones my nursemaids used to sing to me, and then the ones I sang to my siblings when they were small.

Now that they're all grown up, I usually play my bamboo flute now, aru.

action

[the_whitequeen]

Bamboo flute?

If it is alright ... I would very much like to listen to you play it someday.

action

[gochuugoku]

I'm sure you will and I always enjoy playing it. It's so relaxing.

I've been thinking recently that perhaps, once I've collected all the badges, both in Johto and Kanto, I will purchase a house here. That way I can get that guzheng from the music shope in this city.

action

[the_whitequeen]

That sounds wonderful ... if you ever need help, please don't be afraid to tell me. I have ... experience with music. I may be able to help.

A music shop just sounds lovely ...

action

[gochuugoku]

Ah, speaking of music... Did you happen to wake up around Christmas to find a wrapped gift from an unknown sender?

This is a strange question, I know, but that was what happened to me so I was curious if anyone else had a similar experience, aru.
