...Y'know, I really don't get this place! I mean... what is it?

And what do we do with 'em? Y'know, those creatures you see everywhere! Like, I got one here... don't think you can see it but I don't even know how to use this thing!

Anyways, it says it's happy, so I guess that's good... but what do you do with 'em?

Geeze, this ain't any easier than raisin' Giet was!

So uh... yeah, lemme know, okay?

They're pokemon! You train them and make 'em fight each other to see who's strongest. And whoever wins gets more EXP!

[usedvicegrip]

Oh! Yeah! Been doin' that this past route, y'know. ...That all ya do with 'em?

[homeofthebraviary]

Well they're also your friends, y'know? Like pets. They're pretty smart!

[usedvicegrip]

...Yeah, this one seems like it wants to be my friend! It's always happy, y'know?

[homeofthebraviary]

Yeah, they've all got different personalities. Some of the wild ones are mean though so watch out! If their levels are too high it won't listen to you, even if you catch it.

[usedvicegrip]

Well I know that! Geeze, if ya try to keep a wild animal captive, course they're gonna be mean!

[homeofthebraviary]

But you need to catch them to fight, so you can round out your team.

[usedvicegrip]

Well yeah! But they're still not gonna be very nice! You gotta figure out another way!

[homeofthebraviary]

Well if you get more badges, eventually you can get 'em to listen to you no matter how high their level is.

[usedvicegrip]

Yeah but to get badges, you gotta catch 'em! So it's pointless to rely on that!

[homeofthebraviary]

You catch 'em at low levels and train 'em up! By the time they're ready to take on the gyms you'll be really close.

[usedvicegrip]

Yeah, but you gotta make them listen and like you from the start or they aren't gonna do jackshit!

[homeofthebraviary]

Once you catch 'em, they gotta listen to you.

[usedvicegrip]

Yeah? Says who?

[homeofthebraviary]

They just do. Some kind of coding in the pokeballs.

[usedvicegrip]

....WHAT?!

[homeofthebraviary]

What?

[usedvicegrip]

That's changin' how the creature thinks, and you think that's okay?!

[homeofthebraviary]

[Sh...rug...]

[usedvicegrip]

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!

[homeofthebraviary]

Nothing's wrong with me! What's wrong with you?

[usedvicegrip]

Somethin's wrong with you if you think changin' creatures heads is okay! Ya dumbass!

[homeofthebraviary]

It's not messing with their heads! It just tames 'em and calms 'em down.

[usedvicegrip]

That's messin' with them! That ain't natural! I tame animals back home and it's not that easy!

[homeofthebraviary]

Well duh! It's not like you can fit them in balls, either. It's totally different.

[usedvicegrip]

Y'know what, I'm sick of arguin' with yer stupid ass! Go ahead, ruin these creatures who have done nothin' wrong! Don't talk to me again!

[Slams the feed shut.]

[homeofthebraviary]

[What the fuck.]

Audio;

[stfuscarab]

They're Pokemon and the one you have is your partner. You can fight battles and stuff. Or just hang out with it, I guess.

Audio;

[usedvicegrip]

Yeah... bu' is there anythin' else? Or is that really just it? Seems like there should be more, cause it's like a pet!

Audio;

[stfuscarab]

Well, you can always catch more than one...form your own team. And battle the gym leaders and other trainers or breed them or something. That's really all I know so far.

Audio;

[usedvicegrip]

...Oh yeah! Guess that's why I got a ton of those lil' balls, right? Cause I'm supposed to have a team!

Audio;

[stfuscarab]

[It took everything in Jaime not to laugh at the balls comment because he's actually 6 instead of 16. BUT ANYWAY.]

Yeah. You use them to catch other Pokemon. Of course, it helps to weaken them, first.

Audio;

[usedvicegrip]

...Mm, I dunno if I like that. Sounds like you're tryin' to force somethin'.

Audio;

[stfuscarab]

I guess it does now that I think about it. But from what I've seen around here, a lot of the Pokemon don't mind having trainers.

But you don't have to catch them if you don't want to.

Audio;

[usedvicegrip]

Well, yeah! If those... things make them think differently, 'course they're going to not mind!

[justanexpression]

You fight 'em. Mostly.

At least that's what people told me when I started, and all of mine seem to like it.

[Well, except Dingle, but he's still a Magikarp and doesn't count.]

[usedvicegrip]

Well, yeah, that's what we've been doin'... but is that really all there is?

[Lots of singing and dancing went on behind him though.]

[aaaaaaand that should have been voice, but I fails at that stuff, yup]

[justanexpression]

Depends on what else you want there to be.

I'm working with one of mine to make an awesome stack of snowballs, but he's got a ways to go still.

[shhhh i knew my darling]

[usedvicegrip]

...But it's not snowin' out! How are ya doin' that?

[justanexpression]

It doesn't have to be snowing. He's got ice-type moves.

There's like... different types, that can all do different things, you know? Some of 'em can make fire or water or whatever, and Phil can make ice.

[usedvicegrip]

...That jus' seems... weird!

...But really cool too! Can I see it? Do y'mind? I think this has got video...

[y halo thar, video~]

[justanexpression]

[Allow Jack to help with that by flipping his own feed to video first. Ignore the fact that he looks a bit like he's been tromping through the woods for weeks. He... uh... has. Sort of. It's complicated.]

So, it won't be quite as great cause it's so hot, but... hold on. [Phil's been staying in his pokeball quite a bit because of the heat, and he looks a little peeved when Jack summons him. It's an amusing look on a Seel.]

[supa dupa video]

[usedvicegrip]

[He blinks and looks at the creature, scratching his head a bit.]

...What's it even supposed to be? It looks pretty upset, guy!

[justanexpression]

He's a Seel.

[Maybe a touch snappy in the heat, oops?]

And he's still a water-type right now, but he likes the cold a lot more than the hot, so yeah, maybe he's kinda upset with me.

['Kinda' is an understatement, but Phil is generally goodnatured and this is no exception. He huffs, flopping flat and waiting to see what Jack wants.]

Name's Jack, by the way. Jack Frost. Not guy.

[usedvicegrip]

Yeah, he don't look too happy at all.

[He rubs his chin.]

But he can make snow? ...Huh!

[He chuckles.]

I'm Moses! Moses Sandor!

[justanexpression]

It's not that unusual. Electric-types can make lightning and fire-types can make fire, too.

[Which is exactly why he will never have a fire-type, nope.]

Okay. [He turns the gear to face Phil completely.] Wanna show Moses what you can do, Phil? One Ice Shard, and you're back in your ball.

[The Seel just looks at the gear and the trainer behind it for a moment before huffing a great sigh and pushing itself upright. The attack is half-hearted at best, but it does still make a fairly impressive ice ball.]

[usedvicegrip]

...That's still weird! But cool!

[He looked right at him... and he looked pretty damn amazed when the ice ball came into play.]

...Wow! And it can do that any time you want?!

[He wants one!]

[justanexpression]

[Yeah, well, Seels are pretty awesome, it's true.]

Anytime he wants, anyway.

[usedvicegrip]

Well 'course! You gotta listen to 'em and make sure they're happy.
