1st blade [Video & Action for New Bark Town]
[Veronica's gaze was stern as she looked at the screen. There was an air of dignity around her, despite how young she looked, but that could have to do with the many scars on her face and neck, the most notable ones being the two lines that intersected across her face, making an "X". She stares down at her Pokegear with what looked to be a mixture of confusion and annoyance. This goes on for a few seconds until she finally opens her mouth to speak.]
Ah-
Mukrow!
[And that's all that's heard from her, because immediately after, the Pokegear is yanked away from her and the world becomes a blur. It's like that for a good minute or so before everything finally settles. The Pokegear is now, evidently, high up in a tree, the tiny town of New Bark sitting in the background. It's actually kind of scenic, until Veronica appeared, having climbed up quickly to retrieve her device.
She swats at the Murkrow that took it, leading to a brief scuffle before the bird Pokémon takes flight, letting her finally get the Pokegear back. She is notably less dignified than before as she finally starts talking.]
...This is ridiculous, all of it. [Annoyance in her tone barely contained.] Why do I have to go on this journey? Why is this even happening?
[The Murkrow from before caws loudly in the background, getting a flinch out of Veronica. She glances back, letting out a sigh and finally killing the feed.]

She nods, her thoughts coming together.]
So, I've been kidnapped.
[She'd suspected, but now that it was out in the open, she couldn't deny her instincts.]
But, how did they managed to get to me... I would have seen them coming.
video;
I don't think anyone could have seen them coming, really. None of us have any idea as to why we're here, so it's something that happened suddenly. In any case, I...don't really think that you should blame yourself for this.
video;
They're always out there...]
You don't...? [That makes her pause, and now she's focusing more on Juniper.] You've all just... been taken? And, you don't know why?
video;
[At least it'll be four months come the 20th.]
When I first arrived, I was as confused as you are, and I still haven't gotten any type of explanation. Being here is just something you get used to after a while, considering there isn't any known way of escape...
video;
...I can't stay here. I have a sworn duty to protect my sister, and out estate. I traveled for a very long time to get back to them.
She was looking less and less certain by the second now.] Ah, I could travel again, if I had to.
video;
[She hates to be the bringer of bad news, but that's just how it is, Roni.]
At the very least, traveling here would bring you to the next town - in your case, that's Cherrygrove. It's about a three-day journey...
video;
I'll travel as far as I have to.
[But...]
Three days? Are there any buses or cars?
video;
[Her heart is going out to you right now, Roni. She knows how it felt making that three-day walk.]
Some Pokémon you can use to reduce the travel time...but I don't have any with me. Sorry. If I did, I would have loaned it to you...
video;
[Great.
....Her expression softens a little.]
I'll be okay. I walked home from a long distance one time. I'm used to it.
video;
[After all, Juniper is someone who wants to be helpful to anyone she can.]
But if you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to ask. ...Um, my name is Juniper, by the way. Juniper Woods.
video;
Why are you being so nice. Why are you choosing to be helpful to someone you just met. Veronica is pretty confused right now.]
...Ah! My name's Veronica Madaraki.
[...]
...I'll ask if I need anything.
