.009 battles [Audio]

[battledancing]

[The feed opens to the sound of a somewhat ominous piano piece, unknown to the public at large save for the select people who share the Pokemon League castle's roof with Cynthia back home - or for the few who ever managed to get past the final member Elite Four.

Deft fingers keep on urging keys and strings and bringing music forth for a good while longer, until the final notes are played. That's when a pair of "Gaaaar!" and "Togeto!"  join in, prompting a small chuckle from her.]

Ah, you were right, sweethearts-- playing the piano really did help soothe and lift my spirits a little. I do still worry for those who disappeared, though. Have they been found yet, I wonder?

[Garchomp interrupts her train of thought with a growl, as though making a point.] You think we could go look for them, Garchomp? That's an excellent idea! We should start right away!

[This time, it is Togekiss who protests, patting the keyboard with a wing.] Oh, all right, Togekiss. But just one more song and then we're off, okay?

[Until the feed times out, the only thing that can be heard is the sound of the piano.]

Ah, that's a really pretty piece, Cynthia.

[battledancing]

Thank you, Yusei! It's just a little something I like to play before a battle.

[satellitemecha.livejournal.com]

Battle? Are you planning on fighting someone?

[battledancing]

Ah-- no, not really! It's just that this is what I usually play to make myself focus and keep calm before a battle, and I thought it would have a similar effect now. We've had a few rough days, haven't we?

[A pretty girl playing pretty music? How can he resist!?]

2/2

[kitchen-smoke.livejournal.com]

Wow. That's a beautiful melody, miss. It's...haunting.

[battledancing]

Thank you very much! But how exactly is it haunting?

[kitchen-smoke.livejournal.com]

It's not like anything I've heard before. There's so much life to it.

[fierybluebird]

You're pretty good at it too, eh.

[battledancing]

Ah, thank you! Playing the piano always manages to soothe me.

[fierybluebird]

Given how good you are at it, I can certainly see why.

[battledancing]

You're very kind, but I'm not a professional, by any stretch. I do it as a hobby.

[always-on-duty.livejournal.com]

...Pretty! [:3]

[battledancing]

Thank you very much! I'm glad to at least be able to bring some music to this place.

[always-on-duty.livejournal.com]

I've never heard that one before, who wrote it? [It sounds a bit like the dramatic classical pieces he listens to, but doesn't ring any bells as far as composers go, being from a different world and all.]

SORRY GAME FREAK PEOPLE CYNTHIA'S STEALING YOUR WORK

[battledancing]

Ah, that's a little something I wrote. It's mostly how I feel right before engaging in a battle.

[puzzledprof.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see you have your piano working.

[battledancing]

I couldn't have done it without your help, Professor! [Or should she call him "piano bff"? ♥]

[puzzledprof.livejournal.com]

It'll be nice to have more music in the city. Perhaps I can convince you to play for us again?

It is always nice to hear someone's emotion come to life on the keys of a piano.

[audio]

[battledancing]

That's very true. Though I don't think I'm nearly as good at it as you are, Frederick.

[audio]

[coupdejarnac.livejournal.com]

I thought it was a beautiful song. I do hope to hear many more from you in the future.

[pearly-pearls.livejournal.com]

That's a really pretty song, Miss Cynthia! But where did you get a piano?

It looks like Togekiss likes it too.

[battledancing]

Thank you very much, Pearl! Out of my Pokemon, Togekiss is one of the two or three that likes listening to the piano the most.

As for where I found it well-- It was standing outside a few weeks ago. I think it fell from the sky, quite literally at that.

[pearly-pearls.livejournal.com]

Do you play a lot? If your other, um, Poke-mon hear the piano a lot then maybe they would like listening to it as much as Togekiss does? [She gives a little wave over the video to Togekiss who seems to be thoroughly enjoying itself.]

A-ah, was it when the scientists gave everyone things from home?
