Mikhail walks into the room his coat over his arm his shirt and pants hugging tightly to his lithe frame, his tie hanging loose the knot sitting at the second button of his emerald green shirt. Taking note of the camera and chair in the room he throws his coat over the back of the chair and sets a short timer on the camera to record "Hello everybody I’m Mikhail Drakon the Bassist for Magnet Rise and thank you for this wonderful opportunity to perform in front of such a wonderful and devoted audience. I hope my performances enthrall you and convince you that Magnet Rise is the regions hottest new sound and to look for us on this Contest Tour with The Next Big Thing.”

As the video starts the viewer sees a young man medium length green hair and a red guitar slung behind his back and a Loudred to his left raising his right hand he says, "Hey everyone, the name's Cash Quintana I hope you'll support me and my band in our rise to the top, and this guy is Amp" When his name is mentioned the Loudred raises both arms and does a little dance to show off for the camera. "Oi Amp settle down we've still got a bit to go! Cash admonishes the Loudred who slowly stops its dancing. As soon as Amp settles down a Noibat with sunglasses flies into frame and lands on his head, seeing this Cash turns halfway towards it and says, "Finally made your grand entrance huh? Everyone let me introduce you all to Aria the second of my Pokemon" When she's been introduced Aria raises her right wing and waves at the camera before she launches off Amp's head and out of frame once more.

Yumi, or rather Miyun as her stage name goes... Ah, Miyun, Miyun, Miyun. She was given a simple task, to give the audience a short greeting via video, and of course she just ran away with the idea.
The video starts pitch black and the silence breaks with the refrain of a trumpet. The camera pans up a girl's body. She's wearing a glimmering dress, the kind viewers would associate with jazz singers. Though, it's hard to tell any details. The lighting creates too many shadows, including one that completely hides her entire face.
After the trumpet introduction, the shot switches to a close up of her mouth, anything above her nose hidden off-camera, as she quickly beats out her first lines, "Five, Six, Seven Eight," which serves as the cue for the stage lights to turn completely on and instrumental beat to pick up. There's a short instrumental part where the girl shows off some fitting dance moves. The main attraction, however, is clearly the coordination between her movements and her Pokemons' as they seamlessly join as part of the performance. Again, though, the shots withhold information. The bright lights clearly showcase the abilities of the girl and her Pokemon, but the angles and the dance movements give only teasing glimpses of her face. Just a little more and... and... No. That wasn't enough for the viewers to see anything. Still, the performance remains entertaining, maybe even impressive.
The video didn't have the luxury of taking too much time, of course, so before long, the girl is back at the stand-up mic and singing out some lyrics. As it looks like her piece, her little demo, is just about to end and the tempo just begins to slow down, the video rewards its videos with a clear shot of the singer's face, bright blue eyes and golden hair and rosy cheeks. It's only for a moment, however, before the tempo switches about and picks up again out of the blue. The screen does a flip, and thanks to the magic of video editing, the girl is replaced by a boy who looks just like her. If he had on different makeup, his hair was let down, and his suit was replaced with the dress from before, he could be her. This boy showcases a completely different style of singing and dancing. Same song, simply a different section of it, much like how he had the same face as she, but performed in a different style. The video is generous with the face now that it's been revealed, and the camera switches to a standard array of angles for music videos like this. On top of the face, the general framing of the video, certain repeated dance moves, and the same Pokemon imply that he is the same as the she from before despite the completely different style and sudden change in vocal range.
Then the song, a complete song, even if it was a bit short at just over minutes, ends. The boy ends on a pose as he sang out his last word. The final notes ring out from the instruments. When all is over, the screen blinks to black with the bold, white words: "Look forward to Miyun in XX group's debut!".
The screen stays like this for maybe 10 seconds before blinking again. Now, the video is being shot in some sort of studio dressing room. The girl/boy, introduced as Miyun just seconds ago, is sitting in a chair facing the camera. She leans towards girl in appearance, but nonetheless looks like she could be a feminine boy. The magic of casual but cute t-shirt and shorts combined with a boyish seating position where the body leaned forwards, legs were spread open, one foot was atop the chair, the other foot traced out circles in the ground, and both hands held on to the edge of the seat between the legs.
"Yo! I'm Miyun!" came the long-awaited introduction from the star-to-be of this video, "Thank you for watching, and I hope that you'll take care of my band and I as we make our debut! If you want to know more, check out the rest of us! Like Cash's video, for instance. Okay, bye now!~". Besides her, Miyun's yet unnamed Pokemon called out their own short greetings/farewells as the video cut to black, this time to really end. It seemed that the answers to the mystery of Miyun's Pokemon, as well as several other mysteries like her gender, would need to wait for another time.

An indistinct yell can be heard as the video blurs upon starting up, coming into focus on a tall woman with worn clothes, long, dusky hair, and a newly-lit cigarette between her fingers as she crosses her legs on a chair and replies in a husky voice, "Whatever, they won't care. So, what am I doing again?" After listening to someone off-screen explain, she pinches the furrow of her brow. "I don't have to make it fancy or anything, right? Just say who I am, what I do, yada yada?" Once that's confirmed, the woman straightens up and brushes a few dangling strands of hair behind her ear, then takes a short drag off her cigarette before looking straight at the camera with her smoky eyes and proceeding with the actual content. "Not much to say. My name's Kat. and I'm Magnet Rise's guitarist," she plainly states as ash begins to flake off the end of her cigarette, "Well, that doesn't mean a lot, considering that the band's not exactly normal, but you know." She just shrugs that fact off, but then Kat's mood suddenly turns serious, and she points a finger directly at the camera. "Anyways, listen up. We might be new to the scene, but don't think for a second that we don't know what we're doing when it comes to our music, y'got that? Underestimate us, and you'll be burned." At her fierce words, the glowing embers of her cigarette in her other hand flare up in the background, and the video cuts there.
