"They both got spacey eyes, though! Well...I dunno, I guess mine more has really sad eyes. Geeze. Is this normal? Is it depressed? Maybe it just knows how pitiful it is..." Jack looks between his Wimpod and the other guy's duck...yeah, the duck does look tougher. And a little brain-dead but maybe that's just normal, too. He doesn't know.

"I don't even know what the hell it can do. How do you find out? Besides pitting it against something else, I mean." He just can't imagine this depressed looking little crab-bug fighting anything. Unless it spits acid or something, but he hasn't seen any evidence it can do anything cool like that.

"Okay that I can tell you." JW fishes his Poke'Gear out of his pocket and closes the gap between the two of them, holding the device out for Jack to see.

He steadies the lens over Psyduck and the 'Gear chimes and brings up her stats. Psyduck blushes a little at the attention. She's never been shown off before!

"It's hard if they don't hold still, but this can tell you most stuff."

[almosthandsome]

"Holy shit, it's like an ECHOeye!"

Jack laughs a little, tipsy and honestly a little delighted to see some tech that makes sense to him. Okay, so his little personal computer thing can tell him.

"Alright, let's take a look at this sad little mother trucker." He sets his Wimpod down and pulls out his own Gear, aiming it at the bug. And just as promised, a whole bunch of info pops up.

"Look at that! Okay...wow. Wow. So it's super scared of everything, it leaks poison when it gets really scared, and the poison reeks super bad! Apparently it also eats rotten things so yeah, real winner here. Holy shit, okay, I'd be depressed as hell, too!"

"Oh...wow." JW echoes Jack and rubs the back of his neck in second-hand embarrassment. That was. A stinker of a starter. Woof. "Hey, look on the bright side. It'll be easy to feed?"

Psyduck, meanwhile, has waddled up to the Wimpod and leaned down to give it a pat. She's also been the object of disappointment before. There there, little dude.

[almosthandsome]

"You can train the things, right? Maybe I can toughen it up. Just cuz he's a sad, pathetic little nothing now doesn't mean he's always gotta be. You can do better, little buddy!"

Jack knows all about that.

The Wimpod trembles at the attention, antennae waving nervously as the pat is cautiously endured.

"Maybe I outta battle him a little. I mean he's got poison, he's not defenseless. Plus we need the cash!"

[goldeneyeball]

"Yeah. You just have to find weaker Poke'mon. He'll probably turn into something bigger once he's got enough experience."

What the actual HELL is this feeling? He's never explained the world of Pokemon to anyone before. He thinks of his poke'gear buddy, the one who taught him about Yungoos. Was this what paying it forward felt like? Gross.

"Looks like he's Bug and Water. If he knows how to shoot water, try to beat up a Fire Pokemon, it'll be easier."

A thought comes to him. He does have Hot Stuff, but she's pretty beefy and he doesn't want to hurt her pride by calling her out and then commanding her to sit still while this baby bug squirts her for an hour. He shakes his head to dismiss the thought.

"Or go nibble on a Grass type."
