Puzzle 036 - [Video]

[The video feed opens to a baby Pichu sniffing the Pokegear. Luke pulls the little Pichu into his lap before picking up the Pokegear, a very important question on his mind. One that's been bugging him more and more as Valentine's Day gets closer.]

A-ah, hello Johto and those of you in Kanto now. I'm in serious need of advice! As most of you know Valentine's Day is coming up soon, so I need know...

Uhm...

How do you get girls to notice you?

[He pauses a moment before continuing, his face turning slightly red as he tugs at his collar.]

Er, and by notice I mean in the romantic sort of way? I can't believe I'm actually asking this...

[And if he wasn't flustered before, he is now. If the nervous laughter wasn't an indication of that.]

Haha, y-you know just f-forget I asked! It's a silly question anyway...

...B-but uh, if you do happen to have any advice...

<sub>[... Oh. OHOHOHO.]

[Is Luke getting interested in GIIIIIIIIIIRLS???]

[You can tell by the giant cheshire grin on Heather's face when she pops up onto the feed that she intends to be a giant troll about this.]</sub>

Startin' to look at the ladies, huh?

Not afraid of cooties?

_{[Heather he's like fourteen not FIVE leave him alone.]}

[asdkjald HEATHER WHY.]

I-I-I'm not afraid of any cooties and I never was!!

[Okay so maybe when he was a bitty Luke Triton BUT STILL.]

I'll have you know I'm much too old for silly things like that! I'm being serious here!!

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[BECAUSE IT'S HER JOB.]}

So am I!

_{[Because that big TROLL FACE totally indicates that she's being dead serious, yes.]}

You seriously might wanna immunize yourself with some cootie shots before you get to close to any. Just sayin'. I've seen some bad cases of cooties. It can get ugly.

[He stomps his feet a little because he is totally mature you can't get more mature then this right now.]

I don't believe in cooties, Heather! I haven't since I was little!!

Now please take this a little more seriously! I could be without a girl on Valentine's Day!

[Which now that Luke has hit puberty this could possibly be the worst fate of all time.]

<sub>[HEE HEEE HEE HEE EHEE]

[She just continues to grin like a Cheshire cat, which of course means Luke desperately needs to take ANY ADVICE AFTER THIS POINT with a whole pillar of salt.]</sub>

Oh. Sorry. My bad. This is really serious.

SO. Got a girl in mind?

[Video]

[hintcoinplz]

[But he is desperate...

Just look at how pitiful he looks. This might as well be a matter of life or death!]

Well, no...that's actually the problem is that girls don't really pay much attention to me.

_{[IT'S OKAY LUKE THERE'LL BE PLENTY OF TIME FOR THAT WHEN YOU'RE NOT FOURTEEN.]}

Well, have you tried TALKING to any of them?

[Video]

[hintcoinplz]

O-of course I've tried talking to them!

[Try being the keyword here. It's more like he'll walk up to them, make some very awkward smalltalk, and walk away in shame.]

But every time I try the words always come out wrong!

<sub>[Luke. You are so adorable.]

[If the boys in her class had been HALF as unintentionally-charming as Luke was back when Heather had been fourteen, maybe she'd actually have made some decent friends.]

[She continues to grin insufferably.]</sub>

What about finding a different way to express yourself?

[Video]

[hintcoinplz]

Like what...? I'm not good at poetry.

...

Do girls like poetry? I can try anyway.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Poetry?

It has potential.

Go on, think of a rhyme. Go. _{[She claps her hands. YOU CAN DO IT LUKE.]}
