[A very shaky video feed from a cell phone camera pops up showing one incredibly excited young woman]

Ciao! How is everyone today? I hope the winter break has been treating you well?

[It takes a moment for Mona to realize that the crowd of people listening in on the network are likely not her usual fair. Habit of popping up randomly to address her fellow employees seems to have gotten the better of her.]

Oh! How silly of me, you're probably wondering why the heck a strange lady is babbling on, and on. Well, maybe I'm not so much of a stranger to most, perhaps there might be a few at the academy who might recognize my face? I mean, you never know, I might have delivered pizza to your door in the past, or maybe you know me from that huge video game company? It is a small world after all.

[Mona makes a sharp waving motion with her hand]

Anyhow, before I go flying off on a completely unrelated tangent, the name's Mona! I'm what you could consider to be the 'newbie' at school. Though mind you, back home in Diamond City I'm a senior student, so not incredibly new to the whole school thing. As of now, I'll be attending classes at Smash Academy as a transfer student. Sounds fun, huh?

[Only then does she realize how long she's been on the road and how late it's suddenly gotten. Time sure flies when you're having fun.]

If I keep standing out here talking I'm never going to get unpacked at this rate ha ha! Until next time, can't wait to meet you all in class!

[When she finally stopped petting him, he turned back and was now once again a blonde humanish boy sitting on the floor.]

Told ya!

[Startled once again, Mona loses her balance and falls over. This was going to take getting use to around here.]

Watch it! You really need to put up a warning when you want to transform like that so suddenly!

Yeah, but then I'd miss out on the look on your face when I did it!

[He laughed happily, hopping up to his feet to pick up her bags again.]

Sorry, I'll give you some warning next time. But it WAS pretty funny.

I get the feeling you Pokemon do this every time to new students with no knowledge of your kind...

[She rolls her eyes and picks her dropped bag back up. As she pushes Jolt aside she hides a faint smile.]

C'mon, my dorm room should be around here somewhere. BW-09. Might know where that is?

Can't speak for the other Pokemon on campus. [He chuckles a bit, following after her. The faint smile at least told him she wasn't TOO mad at him.]

Yeah, sure I do! Follow me. [He led her through the dorms to the girls wing, and right to her doorstep.]

Thank so much for everything Jolt. I owe you big time for helping me out! Just set the two bags down in here.

[Mona opens the door and pushes her suitcase inside before turning back around to Jolt]

I believe that delicious pizza courtesy of me is in order after all that hard work, hm?

[He does as he's told, setting the bags down for her and dusting his hands.]

Works for me! And I'll even treat you to something too if you want. To make up for that whole scaring you thing!

Oh really?

[She puts her hands on her hips.]

I dunno Jolt, that might be a tall order for you to fill in. This treat of yours will have to be pretty top notch in order to change my mind on forgiving you.

You let ME worry about that! So, what is it you want? Name it!

That, I...haven't decided upon yet.

[She didn't except that Jolt would take her seriously. Great. She has no idea what kind of treat in return to burden him with.]

However, when I do come to a conclusion you can bet that my demand won't be an easy one! But believe me, it will be so awesome that we'll consider it an even trade off.

Okay, I can owe you one. That's fine with me.

For now... to pizza!

[She laughs] Okay, okay! I'll get my butt down to the cafeteria pronto before you waste away from pizza deprivation.

It's a very serious condition, I'll have you know!

[He laughed, leading the way to the cafeteria for her.]

You'll love this place. It's fully stocked with everything you could need! I love it!

Does the administration just let all the students walk into the cafeteria and cook up whatever they want? My old school had staff dictating what could be cooked for lunches. Truth be told, the food there was horrible so I always brought my own. No old lunch lady going to rat us out if we barge right in on her territory and start cooking up a storm?

Not really, but Nancy's pretty cool about it! Besides, it's late enough.

[He paused a moment.]

By the way, Nancy is a Pokemon too. An Ursaring. Big giant bear with a laser eye. But don't worry about it, he's friendly.

Bears with laser eyes and monsters who can transform into humans. Makes me feel kind of inferior for being a regular, plain old human being. Not that it's a bad thing mind you! I think it's a cool thing to be mixing in with such interesting people. Like an adventure!

[She laughs.]

I hope Nancy's cooking is better than the grub they cook up back home. Oh, what am I saying? Of course the food will be ten times better!

Oh yeah, Nancy's cooking is great! You'll really like it, I bet! And hey, nothing wrong with being a plain old human. My trainer's a plain old human, and he's the best! You should totally meet him.

[She gets the feeling that the academy is entirely filled with these transforming Pokemon creatures.]

Yeah, if you get the chance to I'd totally be up for meeting your trainer sometime. I'd also be interested in learning more of the place you guys come from and all. Monsters...er sorry, Pokemon and humans working and living together sounds like a bizarre concept from one of those science fiction novels. A totally rad novel at that!

Hey, truth is stranger than fiction sometimes!

[He opened the door to the cafeteria and looked around.]

Looks like Nancy's not here right now, so we've got the place to ourselves! Long as we don't make a mess of the place, we're good.

I promise to keep the place looking as clean as I keep my own kitchen. The cafeteria will be so spotless Nancy won't even know we set a foot in this place.

[Mona took off through the door and made a beeline for the pantry, throwing doors and cabinets open and plucking the supplies she needed with quick speed.]

What would you like on your pizza Jolt? Perhaps something traditional like pepperoni? Are you a pepper type of guy? What about hot peppers, do you like those? Flour, salt...

[Never missing a beat to even turn around, she continued on with ransacking the fridge for cheese. While it appeared she was absorbed greatly in her endeavor, Mona kept her hearing attuned for Jolt's replies.]

Not hard to do. Jock and I do it all the time when we cook in here. And believe me, we go nuts in the kitchen.

[He was practically salivating at the thought.]

Pepperoni, I'll go for some peppers, and meat. You put bacon on this thing, and I'll love you till the day I die.

Pepperoni, meat, peppers and bacon? Got it! One Jolt Special coming right up! In the meantime, get to prepping up these toppings while I focus all my energies on the most important factor.

[Mona lays out on the counter a knife and grater for Jolt to use, along with the peppers and a wedge of cheese to be used. She busies herself with preparing the dough for the pizza, taking great care to make the entire thing from scratch.]

You can make or break the success of a pizza by the crust alone. If the dough isn't perfect you'll fail to bring in the, well, dough!

[Mona pauses momentarily to play the terrible pun back in her head. She places a floury palm immediately to her face as she chuckles. The place might be spotless but Mona is surely going to be the one covered head to toe in flour by the end of it.]

Okay, okay, my bad! Sounded better off in my head. Really, love, care, and dedication are practically the secret ingredients to success.

I'm on it!

[Jolt was a pro at prepping meats. And it showed, as he laid out those bacon strips ~~and bacon strips and bacon strips~~.]

Hey, I'm with you on that! You've gotta love your craft whatever it is you do. Making pizzas, fighting Pokemon battles, it all counts.

Speaking of which, you ought to show me what a Pokemon battle is like seeing how I'm so new to this whole Pokemon shebang. Smash Academy is a fighting school after all right? Mainly the whole reason for transferring here was to learn how to fight.

[Unlike her fellow co-workers back home, Mona didn't possess any unique abilities or skills to defend herself when it came to battle. Martial arts, spells, bazookas, even hand to hand combat was prominent in the company roster. But Mona? Her battle plan consisted of driving as fast as she could on the Mona Cycle while her animal friends did all the defending for her. Aside from biting, tossing together a delicious pizza, and twirling a baton, Mona didn't have a clue to the basics of battles.]

Certainly tossing a pizza in the middle of a battle isn't going to get me far you think?

[To demonstrate she flipped the dough upwards above her head, continuously keeping it spinning till it flattened in a circular shape. The very skill was the soul reason why she had been her cheerleading team's lone baton expert.]

Sure, no problem! I can do that! I'll show you the stadium later.

You've sure come to the right place if you wanna learn to fight. Pizza may not be the best weapon, but hey, if your opponent's hungry, it might be a distraction!

[He laughed, watching her spin that dough, nodding in approval.]

Wow. You're definitely a pro at that!
