[Video/Action for those in Olivine!
Minnie is sitting on the front porch of her home/inn, with Walt the Charizard sleepily resting his head on her lap. She strokes his 'horns' as the Pokegear turns on.]
Hello, everyone. I hope you're all having a good day. I was just talking with a new friend, and she made me want to do 'that' again... By which I mean, share fairy tales! My home has so many fairy tales, and I love telling them to others. So if you'd like to hear one, just say so, and I'll spin a story with you!

Pinocchio wanted to save his father and Jiminy and make up for all the trouble he caused. So, using the boat, he created a fire, and the smoke caused the whale to cough them up. But then the whale was very angry with them, and chased them up to some dangerous rocks. Pinocchio pushed his father out of the way, and took the whale's attack...
... and when Geppetto and Jiminy found Pinocchio on the shore... he wasn't moving.

[But then he makes a solemn pause, waiting for her to continue.]

A long, long time ago there was a small island. The people who lived there were very poor, but couldn't leave the island, so they had no choice but work for the far bigger and richer city on the nearby shore, sorting the junk that came from it.
One day, a certain man appeared on the island. No one knew where he'd come from, and all he'd do was stand and watch the city in the distance. Day after day, without fail.
Then, he stopped.

2012-07-10 23:23 (UTC)At first, everyone mocked and laughed at him, saying he was crazy for even trying something like that! But the man didn't give up; he continued his work even though others told him it's no use. Observing the man's determination, slowly, people started changing their minds. They thought that maybe, if they all helped him and worked together, they really could do it! More and more people joined in and the construction was quickly becoming reality. Finally, they saw a ray of hope in their lives with no apparent future.
... However, there were people who didn't like that.

At that moment, he faced a difficult choice: he could either turn himself in and spend the rest of his life in cell... or he could become a legend. He chose the latter and jumped.
That man, unbound by any law or common sense... flew.
