Arietta had spent the whole night with her new phone, reinstalling apps, calling important contacts, getting everything sorted- who knew a week without her phone could be such a mess? But today was a new day, a day where she had to get things settled. Her fans on a few of her socials had been complaining about her lack of online presence recently, and she all but promised to give them a recap of all the wild events and more in her blog- and she also promised an ultra special live stream on Amaura-Gram- which is why she found herself walking down route one, preparing herself for a special live stream.
Donning a fuzzy Goomyago sweater and designer shades, phone held infront of her while both her shoulders remain occupied by both Aumia and Adagio, who were more than curious about the camera, Arietta looked the part of somebody famous. Flicking through apps and opening up the one where she hosted the live she attempted to speak to her mons, "It's just gonna be a chill stream- like a day in the life sorta thing... I think, like, we explain the low-downs of what happened to my fans, and maybe show them what you guys are capable of!"
At her tone, Adagio flapped her wings excitedly, nuzzling her head into the crook of Ariettas head and causing the girl to giggle loudly- "Aw, I see you're excited Daggie- how about you, Mia?" Aumia let out a cheer, throwing her tiny paws up excitedly. "That's the spirit, Mi-Mi!" Arceus, Arietta loved them so much. Pushing past a bush and attempting to get closer to the ocean the girl readied her camera- show time.

Pressing the 'LIVE' button, Arietta held her phone slightly infront of her, beginning to walk as she chitters from her companions died down. A smile graced her features as she saw her own image stare back in the phone- presentable, fashionable, her fans would be in for a treat. "Hello-hello!" Arietta's voice rung out, followed by a giggle. She watched as fans begin to join the room in mass, eyes sparkling- oh this was going to be good.
"Arietta here- yeah I know, some of you thought I was dead buuut-" She did a dramatic hairflip before winking at the camera, "That's just so far from the truth, like, you guys have no idea! I'll just wait for the live to fill up a little more and then..." She trailed off for a moment, pausing to observe the area around her, "And then, i'll get down to what you all wanna know- just what happened to Ara?"
Aumia began chittering on her shoulder as Arietta moved to sit on a rock by the side of a beach, propper her phone up on a make-shift pebble stand as she did so- watching the numbers jump was an almost enthrilling experience- she hadn't known so many people had actually... seen her tweets. After about a minute the girl beamed at the camera again, a hand pressing to her cheek.
"Nownownow, for all of you here- surely you'll be interested in what went down with me- little miss Ostinato~" She crossed one leg over the other while Aumia and Adagio moved to nestle themselves into her lap. Her hands moved to gesture around her, "Broadcasting live from route one, let me just start by saying it's a lovely day, and we'll get to all that and more riiiight-" She paused, there was a splash out the corner of her vision. An excited gasp left her lips, "In a moment! Guys, do you see what I see?" Arietta moved to pick up her phone, moving to flip the screens before showing them a small Popplio emerging from the sea.
"Oh- isn't he the cutest?! As advertised, this is both a storytime annnd a come travel with me livestream- so you all get to see firsthand just what I get up to when journeying place to place~" She moved to hand her phone to Aumia, who'd done this many times before. Holding the phone steady and moving it to face and follow Arietta, she let out an excited chitter. "And I believe we found ourselves a new friend! Popplio, as you're all well aware, is a pokemon who adores singing."
The girl, who'd dyed her hair back to it's natural colour after the masquerade, began moving forwards, towards the unsuspecting seal pokemon, "Let's see if this one has an interest in being part of the big idol experience, shall we?" she raised a hand to call out to the Popplio, who let out a startled cry and almost moved to flee- until he slipped over, falling right into the water.
Arietta moved a hand over her mouth to stiffle a giggle, bending down in an attempt to lull the creature closer. "It's okay little guy, i'm not gonna hurt you!" She moved to pull through her pockets, finding a berry before offering it to the pokemon, who was staring at her with wide eyes, "Would you be interested in some food, buddy?"
It took a few moments, but the Popplio eventually spat out some water before approaching, staring at Arietta for a few seconds before moving down to munch some of the berry from her palm. As he did this, she moved to get a pokeball from her other pocket and offered it to the pokemon palm-up.
"Maybe you'd also be interested in joining my team, buddy? We sing, and we dance! It sounds like something you might enjoy!"

Okayyy... maybe the... Popplio, wasn't too keen on the idea, and slapped her pokeball away angrily- but it was okay! She had another idea. "Don't fear, my lovely audience!" she moved to push some hair behind her ear, moving to smile at the camera her mon had positioned perfectly. "If I just show this lovely darl my dance skills- maybe she'd be inclined to join me- or wait... Popplio's like singing, actually?" She turned to the camera, a tilt to her head.
"We know i'm no lead vocalist but... how about we try harmonising?" A soft tone left her voice, and her smile widened. What a great start to the livestream, to lure in more viewers annnd hopefully gain a new friend. Softly she opened her mouth, "Oh! You may be familiar with this song, credit where credit is due. Checkmate, Conan Gray!"
Soft notes and tones left her mouth, though if you listened closely there was a bit of... spite in her tone? As she finished up the chorus she offered another ball to the Popplio, "...you might think you're winning, buuut checkmate."

Arietta could only watch with dismay as the Popplio, seemingly unimpressed, batted the ball away and flicked back into the water. Her other mons however let out a variation of soft cheers, which kept her spirits up. It was alright! You win some, you lose some. Arietta gently moved off the rock and took her phone from whichever mon was holding it, flipping the camera back to face herself. "Wasn't that fun, everybody? Now that hopefully enough of you are here though..." Her voice trailed off, hesitant.
Aumia let out a coo by her leg, attempting to get her to continue, and Arietta nodded her head. Right... right. "About why i've been MIA for over a weeh, maybe two?" She shrugged, then adjusted the phone so she could begin to walk with it. "Long story short- I ran into an evil ex." There was silence for a few seconds and she forced herself to giggle- focus, Arietta. Sell the story, you're an idol right now.
"I know! Funny right? I was actually doing a photoshoot, that i'll redo maybe tommorow for my pokegram, and they came outta the bushes- now now, i'm not going to say who buuut... you all can vote on the poll on my twitter!" Another laugh, as she continued walking, idly chatting to the camera.

The girl was going to continue, and start delving into the juicy gossip- maybe... leaving out a few bits, of course, when a call from nearby interrupted her. "O-Oi- Are you Arietta?!" the girl had paused, holding her phone tightly. Who... Who was that?! She moved to flip the phone around to face the stranger, who held a hand up high to her, phone in the other hand. "Oh- thank arceus you are! I'm watching your stream, see?!"
The stranger began running down one of the paths to the shore, and instantly Arietta regretted ever tweeting out where she was streaming from- what if this was a weirdo who could kill her!? Or wanted something like... weird? At least she had their face on camera, she just had to be nice. Keep up the positive attitude. "Oh- uhm- that's nice! Did you come down here for an autograph, perhaps... uh..." The stranger smiled awkwardly at her, "Jeremy! And nah, I just wanna battle- you seemed a little down, especially with the Popplio gone- and that song... you sung it because it reminded you of the exes right- i've read your blog."
Arietta fidgeted, attempting to hold her phone steady. Battling?! Well... that'd be a fun experience for the viewers, right? Turning the camera back to herself she attempted a smile, "It seems i'll continue that thought in a moment, then! It looks like you all get to witness an Arietta Ostinato stream first- a battle!" She moved back for a moment, gently helping Rowlett back onto a nearby rock and giving the mon orders to keep the phone upright and focused on the battle- to which he responded with with an eager chirp.
Aumia was more than excited for a battle, a soft chitter leaving her mouth as she rushed up infront of Airttea. "I won't go easy just because you're the Arietta, okay?" Arietta let out a laugh of her own, though it seemed... a little forced. Moving her hands to rest at her hips she responded back, "Wouldn't want you to! Show me what you've got!"
Jeremy let out a large bird, who flapped their wings and let out a loud cry, a Honchcrow? Arietta smiled, letting Aumia bounce in place as the pokemon began to hype herself up. "Challengers first, Jeremy~ dance on."
Jeremy moved first, the Honchcrow hitting straight away with a sucker punch, knocking Aumia back. Aumia was a tough cookie though, and Ari directed her to use Eerie Impulse, which seemed to scare the opposing pokemon. Honchcrow then used wing attack, which hit Aumia hard! Arietta yelled out a cheer in an attempt to get her going, which Aumia coo'd back to- she was ready. A soft noise left her mouth followed by a thunder shock! Wham! Honchcrow let out a loud cry, being blown back- she... she didn't look too good. She was weak to electric!
The battle went two more turns, where Aumia was hit with a harsh suck punch, which she returned with another thunder shock which had the Honchcrow out cold. Arietta smiled at Jeremy, pushing back her shoulders and offering a hand. "I...thanks. That made me feel a bit better, actually!" Jeremy attempted a smile of his own, moving to return his pokemon while Arietta moved to pickup Aumia, checking on her injuries.
"I'll be sure to keep watching!" Jeremy called, once again waving his phone in the air, and Ari could only smile as he dissapeared back into the bushes... well... wasn't that something?

After that encounter, Ari was on her toes. Who knows what strangers could pop up?! She moved back to her phone, slowly and cautiously. Of course, the boy, Jeremy, was watching, so she couldn't outright say how... weird it was that he showed up- though maybe her tight lipped grin showed it. Rowlet hopped back up onto her shoulder, while Aumia continued at her heels. It was time to continue. "Sorry, i'd left you all at a funny spot!"
She continued on as if it hadn;t happened, holding her phone high, "So, in this... run in with the ex. my phone was snatched, and maybe... after some yelling...it was basically crushed." She shrugged, as if it was no big deal. She really didn't wanna worry her audience right now. "Oh! But don't worry- there's more to the story!" as she was walking Aumia noticed two little purple apricorns nearby and grabbed at them, tapping Arietta at the back of the leg and stirring her out of her ramblings to show her.
"Ooooo- everybody, look what Mi-Mi found!" Arietta moved to pocket one of the purple things, moving another up to the camera for everybody else to see before putting it in her tote. "They're really cute, aren't they guys?!" Another pause, and then, "...So back to what I was saying!"

Arietta moves further along the coast, her voice carrying down the shore as she speaks to her phone. "So, yeah. My phone was... completely ruined, something about internal stuff- but don't worry, I... I wasn't hurt in any way!" Arietta beams at the camera, averting her gaze for a moment as she surveys her surroundings. She'd... strayed from the path a little bit- but she was in a rock pool area! That was good, right? Ara moved to sit on one of the rocks and take a few second breather, her Rowlett going straight to play in the water. "Was just a little shaken... And- the day after- oh you'd never guess- I was on my way to the spa and... I bumped into another evil ex!"
She brought a hand to her face in mock surprise, before giggling softly, almost... sadly to herself. "What a turn of events, huh? But... they didn't... hurt me or anything- they seemed kinda...out of it?" She shrugged, "I guess that's what happens when people hurt me, huh guys? I hope you all haven't been going out and harassing my exes!" She waggled a finger at the screen, only for a peculiar noise from nearby to distract her. "Ooooh- hang on guys, whats this?!" she moved to stand, using her phone to scout out the area until... an Inkay was spotted, chilling by a nearby rock and... listening to her? Arietta let out a giggle, raising a hand in a wave. "Hi little guy! You up for a battle?"
The Inkay looked around, unsure if Arietta was talking to him, until realising that... she actually was. A series of noises left his lips and he floated towards her, excited. "From what i've read before- we just gotta not stare at this lil' guys blinking lights, guys!" Arietta moved to reposition her phone and called Aumia forward.
"A simple battle- let's go, Inkay!" The Inkay moved first, it's tentacles moving to... Wrap...around Aumia. Said mouse let out a screech, eyes wide. Oh- oh this was a strong boy. "You're okay, Aum! Thunder shock!"
92QVqbNzp_ The move hit! No Paralysis though. The Inkay fought back, a loud noise leaving his mouth as he turned and attempted to use... Hypnosis?!
p_ It failed! "Dodge, Mi-mi!" Aumia managed to dodge away, looking back at Arietta with a pleased twinkle in her eyes, which caused said trainer to smile. Maybe... she could try catch the Inkay? There was no harm in trying- right? Arietta quickly fished out a pokeball with the hand not holding the phone and threw it towards the pokemon...

A loud gasp left Arietta's lips as the ball clicked, success! Inkay! Arietta let a bubble of giggles burst from her lips and flipped the phone to her holding up the ball, "It looks like we have a new friend, guys! Feel free to @ me with any name ideas you guys might have, or even comment on this stream, i'll check back in a few minutes and we'll decide the name from there- remember- musical terms only!" Ari couldn't be more happy- Inkay was utterly adorable- maybe they could do aerial dancing with Gabbie?!
"So then... back to what I was saying!" Arietta gently ushered herself off the rocks, Aumia and Adagio following her her stride as she started back onto the path, "So, yeah. Bumped into another ex- you might see paparazzi photos from that day, actually! I was a little sleep deprived and... went in public with my pjs on, makeup i'd slept in and hair that was like wiiiiild- it was a look for the history books, truly!" She giggled, moving to hop over a rock and helping Aumia, who was struggling.
"Right, so. I ended up being able to chill and relax at the spa by myself- the water was warm, the massages were relaxing- and I even did face masks!" There was another soft laugh, as she shifted to another rock, "And I absolutely, positively, did not go to the spa with another person. I ended up sleeping over at the hotel though- you won't believe how comfy their beds were- oh, but i'm losing track of what we're talking about- we need to get to the ball fiasco."

"Now, the ball fiasco..." Arietta moved closer to the shoreline, if only to get a better background of the landscape while she walked. Aumia began attempting to avoid waves while Rowlett stayed on her shoulder, cooing softly. "So you all know the masquerade ball- right? I know I saw some people reveal my identity on twitter- girls- I gave you free tickets to shhhhhh- Arceus." She let out another giggle and shrugged her shoulders back, "But yes. I was the Gardevoir who was showing off her delicious dancing skills- what you miiiight not know from that night is-"
She was cut off as a Carvanha launched itself out of the water and attempted to bite at Aumia! Arietta quickly moved to shield her with her foot, glaring down at the dark-water type. "-Mi-Mi, stand back! Adagio can handle it!" at the sound of her name, the pokemon on her shoulder hopped down, staring threateningly ahead at the Carvanha.
"Sorry for the hold-up guys, this is a dual livestream after all!" She laughed, then adjusted herself, "Adagio- leafage!" her sudden attack sent the Carvanha launching back, surprised for a brief moment before the dual type pokemon slammed itself forward, glaring harshly at Adagio in a leer. Adagio seemed a little offput, "Daggie- growl!" Adagio followed her trainers instructions, growling at the Carvanha who flinched back a little.
It then moved forward to attempt to bite Adagio, slamming it's jaws over her body and causing her to cry out- nuh-uh! "Ads, use Leafage again- blow him away!" One more leafage sent the Carvanha back in the water- and he didn't come back up to attack, thankfully.
"Phew- right- sorry about that guys- bacccck to what I was saying!"

Arietta beamed awkwardly at the camera, "Right, so back to what I was saying~" She curled some hair between her fingers before continuing walking, this time going towards the forested area. Adagio had taken her rightful place or Arietta's shoulder while Aumia stayed at her heel. "At the ball, this Gardevoir actually danced with a very... pretty...mismagious- which turned out being the same ex who stole my phone- a plot twist, right?! You can't make these things up- and hoooboi- long story shorter, an agreement was come to anddd I was able to get money for my phone!" She let out a laugh, moving to step over a log.
"I'm definitely not getting into the detail- you all know how evil exes are- buuut I bumped into another one and danced with them- the same one from the spa day! Am I cursed, or like- what?!" She attempted to laugh, but the very idea of a curse made her joy fall flat. She noticed a Stunky amidst the foliage a little away but was... a little scared of getting some nasty spray on her, so she made sure to go the opposite direction.
