Pokémon Snap HD remix feat. Lillie

raihan's our big brother now ^^ //FINALLY FINISHED IT smH

"Hellooo viewers! Another vlog from yours truly," Raihan winked at the camera. "By the time this is up I'd be back at the gym but for today, I'm joined by-"

"THINK FAST, RAI!!"

The RotomPhone was sent into drone mode as it was thrown into the sky, the Galarian scrambled to catch your form which was already off the ground. The camera tilted up and then back down as you were caught by him, an 'oof!' escaping his lips while you grinned at Rotom. He set you down and faced it with an arm slung around your shoulder.

"Today, we're joined by my favorite challenger!" he exclaimed as he gave you a noogie, earning giggles and lighthearted protests from you. You tried to reach for his headband but it was just a bit out of reach, darned shoe inserts… you’ll get it next time. Huffing, you flattened your tousled hair and gave Rotom a peace sign.

“Hey everyone! Guess what we’re doing today?”

The footage cut to the two of you and your teams standing in front of your little campsite.

“We’re out in Hammerlocke Hills! Today’s weather forecast looked great so we decided that a day and night outdoors would do us some good.”

Raihan nodded as he hauled you up onto his shoulders, Rotom following after your screeches as you tried not to fall off of him. The moments you both spent searching around for curry ingredients were captured closely: clips of the two of you laughing and enjoying yourselves with terrible jokes; two of you trying to use your combined heights to get some ripe apples from the trees. There was no doubt that you were close, the many memories you made together accumulating to the point where fans made compilations for them.

Even during the small battles you had with the less-than-friendly ‘mons, he was always caught with his lips turned upward in what seemed to be pride. Pride, like an older brother who saw his younger sibling off to their first day of school. The expression never wavered one bit throughout the time you spent together, each smile brimmed with the emotion. Praise was mandatory after each victory, no matter how miniscule it was. You always flashed a joyful grin in return after, then went off to scour for more discoveries.

When you came back to him with a scratched hand, he fussed over it endlessly, even after you put a bandaid on it. Akin to a mother Dekagoose, he refused to leave your side until it fully healed. He kept asking if it still hurt hours later, especially when you two were cooking curry. You had to reassure him you could hold the ladle without dropping it before he relented. As much as you were grateful that he immensely worried for your wellbeing, it really was getting irritating!

"Raiii-! It's just a surface scratch! I'm gonna get mad if you keep this up, hng!" you pouted as you crossed your arms.

"Man, I got it, I got it! Don't get mad at me, [Nickname], I'll stop," he replied with a feigned sad tone.

But what really displayed the strong connection you two had could not be found in the filmed vlog. It would only appear when the time for putting on appearances ended and privacy finally blankets you, concealing away the ever-observant eyes of the public.

It was probably 1 A.M. when you stepped out of your tent, footsteps light as a feather as you trod on the grass to avoid stirring anybody awake. The moon shined down onto your skin softly, heightening your already sombre mood. A soft sigh escaped your lips into the chilly night, you curled into yourself to conserve some warmth. Just as you were about to brood to yourself, the unzipping of your companion's tent interrupted the would-have-been internalized monologue.

You let out a sharp exhale with mirth, of course he would be awake. The grass crunched as he made his way over, a slightly heavy weight rested over your shoulders when he took his seat. You feel your lips curl up as you huddled closer to the dragon type gym leader, basking in the warmth he emitted. His hand moved to gently ruffle your hair, you do not bat it away this time.

"A Pokédollar for your thoughts, [Name]? No need to divulge if you don't feel like it, I'll just stay out here with ya until you get sleepy."

He felt you lean against his side as you fiddled with your fingers, tapping them against each other and separating them. He waited patiently, noting that the bandaid you put on prior was gone and the scratch had dried up to seal off any unwanted dirt from contaminating it.

"I guess, I'm a bit tired," you started.

Cyan orbs scanned your face, indeed were there some dark circles that rested beneath your eyes. He huffed, his incessant reminders for you to sleep earlier had been dismissed. You chuckled, knowing exactly what he was thinking.

"Sorry, I tried sleeping earlier these days but- I don't know. I say I'm exhausted and despite that, something else weighs heavier to keep my mind awake."

Your Dynamax band that rested on your dominant wrist shined as you tilted it, you stared at the wishing star that sat nestled in the casing. The accessory was a symbol of your strength with your team and some sort of physical metaphor of your dreams.

"I've been perpetually chasing greater power and fame ever since I started my journey, yearning for the attention that came with constantly. That acknowledgement– I am very aware of its impermanence and short term lasting. Yet, nothing could replace it so I just kept on running after it, climbing pedestal after pedestal no matter how much it took out of me," you breathed as you recounted the many battles you've had.

"After coming to Galar, after spending time with all the wonderful people I've met and especially after meeting you… The motors that worked so hard to keep me running finally have a chance to slow down and only now am I really feeling the toll it took on me. You always look out for me and make sure I'm alright. How I feel whenever we spend time together isn't nearly as exhilarating as the sheer adrenaline that ignites my soul on the battlefield," Your vision became blurry as you felt tears roll down your cheeks. "But rather, a sense of security and contentment like sitting next to a hearth in Freezington."

The kindness he had– and continues to show you, the genuine concern and care, it had been a long while since you were given anything like it. The pep talks he gave you over your phone when you were at your lowest in the locker room, the frequent check up messages you woke up to every other day, the stupid matching hoodies you got together… You would never forget them.

"Y-you're…" you trail off, a little scared to admit it out loud.

"I'm..?"

He grinned expectantly, as if he already knew what you would say. You shot him a weak glare, your wobbly smile betraying your watery eyes. He elbowed your side teasingly, you shoved back just as playful. He fell over in mock defeat onto the emerald grass below, waving his headband like a surrender flag. You feigned a miffed expression as you flopped over onto him.

"You're like family to me, Rai."

"As are you to me, [Nickname]."

*weeping on the floor*

I love found family so much, and you’re checking my every box. The healing. The love. The fun. The sweetness. The ending. I’m crying so damn hard this so so so good. It’s everything I’ve could’ve ever wanted!!!

God, I can’t wait for what you write next. I’m so excited. Are you going to kill me with angst? Are you going to kill me with fluff? I’m so so excited to see what you have in store!!

Bravo!!!!

I really feel the need to talk about the interactions between Nyarth/Meowth and Mao/Mallow but maybe I should wait for subtitles. But I’m mostly certain I understood these two scenes between the two flawlessly or at least almost.

First, the scene where Mao comes to pick up some mushrooms in exchange for Poni Daikon, and finds out Nyarth is in the bar. Immediately, Mao’s thinking he’s up to no good, but Nyarth is just asks Mao to quiet down, calmly explaining he’s off-duty today, enjoying the Master’s Pile Juice and something. Rest is a bit unclear for me, but it’s clear Nyarth respects Yareyutan/Oranguru and wishes no harm to come to him and his bar.

Mao however is still very suspicious of him, and believes his friends are just gonna come out of somewhere and do their usual evil stuff. After which Yareyutan just interrupts her and points to the mushrooms, after which Melemele Green Nagetukesaru/Passimian arrive and Mao’s instinct of helping out fires up. What a good kid! But not the point of the post. Rest under the cut because this became a freaaaaking long post.

Nyarth seemed to try and tell Mao to get home before the place got too crowded, but seems to be genuinely surprised when he sees Mao starting to help Yareyutan out. It kinda continues throughout the episode, he’s always expecting something bad to happen and seems sort of on the negative side, but each time Mao manages to serve the different Pokémon, he seems genuinely impressed with her. For example, when Junsa-san’s Dekagoose/Gumshoos arrives to be served, Yareyutan gets the idea to give Mao the hang of serving it. Nyarth translates the message to Mao, and then seems to add sort of a discouraging message of ‘you probably won’t be able to do it thou‘. After a while, Mao accepts the challenge, and Nyarth’s face is literarily this:

He’s so suprised at Mao. He did not expect her to take on the challenge. Gets even better later when Mao figures out what to serve for Dekagoose, and Nyarth is just like:

This is where the translation sort of falls off from my mind but I know exactly what he means. Nyarth is sarcastically asking what Mao figured out for Dekagoose’s serving, and it’s just so pfft. Then Mao’s choice of Moomoo Milk was spot on and Nyarth reaction so priceless, he can’t believe it.

He seems to not really get it?? He truly doesn’t understand how Mao got it right. Then later, when Onidrill/Fearow arrive, Nyarth immediately thinks they’re gonna rob Master’s berry field, but once he’s fetched him, he’s come to another impressive sight of Mao:

Instead of anything bad happening, Mao immediately seems to have figured out they were the next guests to be served, and is treating them as such right away. Mao, is such a good, caring kid.

Nyarth seems to be literarily saying ‘What the?‘ Again, can’t believe his own eyes.

Then after Mao’s managed to serve the Onidrill with a combo of two berries (I’m sorry, I can’t tell what they are, my memory still lacks the skill of recognizing all the berries), Nyarth is even more impressed, and this time asks Mao how she knew to mix the two berries.

Mao seems to explain that she had learned from Lilie the other day that Pokémon who like the other berry she cooked for the Onidrill tend to like the other berry she used as well. Even Yareyutan is impressed with Mao at this point, with how skillfully she managed to cook something for the Onidrill on the fly.

And it just continues. This episode surely focused on how both Mao and Nyarth start treating each other in different way.

Then the scene that just sold me on Mao. The scene right before Kapu-Kokeko arrives. Nyarth asks for another Pile Juice from the Master. But guess who serves him instead?

Like, look at him blink in surprise! All Mao’s saying here is ‘here you go!‘, truly serving him the way customers should be. There’s no ill gesture involved, no pouting, just kind serving. Nyarth seems to be expecting some ill pleasure from her Pile Juice even, but after he drinks it:

He’s saying it’s delicious! To which Mao’s just happily saying ‘glad to hear‘. Like, Mao’s so happily serving Nyarth, and Nyarth’s so happy with the serving he got from the green brat girl. I swear, I think he changed his impression on her at this point completely. I mean, the next moment Mao’s taking on the challenge to cook for Kapu-Kokeko, Nyarth is constantly drooling at the amazing smell that comes from the food, and then even starts explaining to us viewers what Mao cooked for us. Like, he started co-oping with her, full-on!

Basically Mao made some sort of burger for Pokémon, and now Nyarth wants to eat one too!

Then, after Kapu-Kokeko rewards Mao with a Grassium-Z crystal, Nyarth explains why it did so. I believe he’s explaining that Kapu-Kokeko enjoyed his meal so much, that he felt Mao deserved the z-crystal as a reward.

Like, honestly. This is the kind of content I had wished for from Nyarth in Sun & Moon still. He’s co-oping with Mao, the brat girl who they always had to meddle with in previous episodes. I freaking adore his role in the episode, and I love how much Mao grew in the episode as well. So looking forward to seeing the subtitles!

I thought I’d drop this interaction here too:

It’s not major, but I thought Lillie’s moment of doubt was super cute and then Mallow reassuring her <3

SM Episode 9: ‘The Leader Pokémon is Dekagoose!’
