[ The camera feed starts off a bit shaky. Inexperienced paws are handling the device, Katara's Riolu, Arnook. Oh hey look, there's Katara! Rolling backwards on... uh... her... roller blades...

Shouting out a panicked-- ]

Whoah, whoah, whoah! Wrong way, wrong way!

[ And then she's gone again, but you'll definitely hear a sound like someone crashing into bushes, followed by a very loud-- ]

Ow! Augh-- stupid--! Why can't I get this right?!

[ Annnnd then the feed whips around to show Katara in her Ace trainer attire and roller blades trying to get UNSTUCK from the bush she just landed in... backwards. There's a lot of snickering from the other side of the gear.

It seemed like a good idea at the time to FINALLY test out her roller blades, but... ]

[ Oh, oh, oh, BUT WAIT. Katara has noticed the snickering! ] Arnook?! Were you recording me?! TURN THAT-- [ STATIC. ]

[ Katara is just blushing horribly and looking self conscious but rolling with it very punny, mundane. ] Thanks, I'll take any help I can get.

Hehe. I'll show her this video! [ And laugh about it, probably. ]

Don't sweat it, sis.

[ SDLKFJSF! ] I-Is that really necessary? I mean, can't you just, you know, tell them...? [ Please be kind to what little of my dignity survived that horrific crash. ]

She's gotta see your technique, so she knows what you're doing wrong! [ Buuuullshiiiiiiiiiiiiit. ]

[usedwaterpulse]

[ That totally smells fishy, but it's not like she can stop you. D: ] Technique? You mean people actually move like that on purpose...?

[comeatmibro]

Backwards? Sure. Sakura-chan can do it backwards really fast.

[ Impressed Katara is impressed. And has a new goal. ] Well... I do want to get better at these. [ Since riding on them kind of reminds her of her ice-surfing, and anything that reminds her of and makes her feel closer to waterbending is a plus. ]

It's super easy, you just gotta get the hang of it. Mostly you gotta keep your feet moving.

[ Looking at the blades, then back. ] I guess that's where I keep messing up. When I ice board I have to try to keep my legs still. The water and my arms do all the work, and this is nothing like walking.

[ Uno momento, calling out her Rapidash to help her up.

AND NOW SHE'S UP. ] Thanks, Jet. [ ... Kinda... holding on a bit for balance. Let's try this again shall we? ]

Ice board? What's that?

[ Miyuki unwraps a lollipop to put it in her mouth. ]

[usedwaterpulse]

[ And so Katara uses one hand to gesture, air-doodling a little circular thing. ] I just make a platform of ice that I can stand on while I move across the water. [ What... IS that? She saw some last year at Halloween and Easter. ]

[comeatmibro]

You make it? How? [ Rude, Miyuki. You shouldn't talk with your mouth full. ]

video;

[usedwaterpulse]

[ She's used to it. It doesn't even exactly bother her except that thing seems like it would make it hard to talk? But okay. GOT IT. ]

Well back home I can, I can't really do it here. If our powers worked here in Johto and Kanto, though, I'd just use my waterbending and freeze water into the shape and size I needed.

[comeatmibro]

Sweet! You had water powers? Could you, like... make tidal waves and stuff?

video;

[usedwaterpulse]

Actually, yes, I could. It took a lot of practice, though. [Keeping it humble and truthful.]
