Chapter Two: The Video

 

After the car ride home, Pikachu instantly curls up on the couch, 'How cute... So, Arceus. If I was going to be a breeder, how would I get food for them all?'

"You can buy it. Fruits and vegetables are healthy for a Pokémon."

You look in your fridge, "Don't Pokémon eat berries? Like Oran, Pecha, you know..."

"Yes, of course. But the Pokémon world has fruits and vegetables from this world, as well."

"Oh, well, that makes things easier for me. Let's see..." I have an apple, and an orange in the fridge, and a bag of cherries. I chop them up and put them in a bowl. "Pikachu, are you still hungry?"

"Piku?" He lifts his head and goes onto the floor, where I put the bowl, and takes a bite out of a cherry. "Pika!~" He squeaks with happiness at the taste.

"We still need to give you a name." I say to Pikachu, watching him eat. "Hmm... How about Bolt?"

"Pika! Pikachu!" He says, his ears twitching.

"He likes the name! Now... How are you going to show him off?"

'To be honest, I don't know. I have a YouTube channel, but I stopped making videos.'

"What is a... Youtube... Channel?" I sigh, and spend the next hour explaining what the internet, and YouTube is.

Arceus seems to be very intrigued by all of the advancements that Humans have made without him, "I must say, child, your species is quite fascinating without my guidance."

'I never thought we were much of anything, to be honest. I've always thought we were just... Here, trying to survive our best.'

"You have always been more than that. Have you not heard of fate? Everything happens for a reason."

'Yeah. I know... I'm kinda stuck on what do to now, though...'

Arceus chuckles, "Why don't you do that Youtube thing you were telling me about?"

'Making a video? Well... I guess I could. How else will this spread?' I take Bolt's empty bowl and take care of it, "Bolt, how would you like to be in a video? It'll be fun!"

The Pikachu jumps up and down, "Pika!"

"Okay, then! Let's see if I can find my equipment..." I walk to my closet with a big box in it, lazily labeled, "Stuff." Opening it, I sneeze because of the dust that flew everywhere, digging through some of my belongings, I finally find a camera, not the most up to date, but it'll still work for the time being... "Okay Bolt, let's see here..." Turning it on, I hold my breath, and pray I don't have to charge it. Surprisingly, it's at full battery?

"Pika?" Bolt asks as I rummage through the box again.

"What are you doing, Master?"

"You don't have to call me that, Arceus, just Y/n is fine. I'm just looking for a tripod for my camera. It's been a while since I've set everything up... This'll take a little bit..." After plugging in all of the necessary cables. I finally sit down and out and pull up my recording programs on my computer. After all of that, Bolt ended up sleeping on the couch... So I pick him up and bring him into my room, setting him on a spare pillow next to me.

"Tired, Y/n? I thought you were going to record a video?"

I shrug, 'It's kind of hard when your subject is fast asleep. I'm getting sleepy myself, so I'll talk to you tomorrow.'
