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...

Well as a gentleman, I never forget my manners! It's the utmost important thing!

...You really think so? It sort of feels like I never get any girls to notice me. I mean, I'm...not exactly very strong or um, tall...

[Being a teenager is hard.]

Have you ever tried approaching someone?

Sometimes it's not that someone hasn't noticed you, but that they're uncomfortable acknowledging they have.

[What do you know, Fuu. What do you know.]

[hintcoinplz]

Well I want to approach other girls, I really do! But then I stumble over everything I say and then I say the wrong things and everything turns out wrong...

[All. Sorts. Of adorable.]

Maybe you should consider trying to be their friend first? After all, you seem to be doing fairly well in a normal conversation, right now.

[hintcoinplz]

I-is that how it's supposed to work? Be their friend before actually trying to go on a date with them?

If you have trouble talking to a girl, I think it might be the best option. Of course, it's been seen to work out both ways.

I'm not much of one to talk in this situation.
