[Felix nods.] They are and they aren't. It is an organization, but they don't seem to be organized very well. And they are dangerous, through sheer numbers and a lot of powerful Pokemon. Most of which I assume are stolen. But they're not life-threatening. Mostly. From what I can tell, their goals are to exploit Pokemon for wealth and power.
One of them was willing to fight me with a wooden candy cane, though.

[ Not that it seemed like there were any stores or such things in the hamlet. She might have to ask around further, but if travelers were so common it might not be as worrisome as it seems. ]
Even the criminals and bandits seem softer in this world- though the bar's rather low in that regard. ... Wait, I'm sorry, what? A wooden candy cane?
no subject
[At least, it's not cold unless you're rolling around in the snow for half an hour. Or, you know, not from Faerghus.]
Wild Pokemon will harass you, so bring plenty of pokeballs. And I have my doubts that your blob of goo can fight effectively, so try to find something that can before you get too far. Otherwise you'll end up like Sylvain. He started with a fish.
[He nods.] There's a strange being here called Santa Claus. He has something to do with a local gift-giving holiday. Candy canes are common. This bandit was dressed as some kind of ostentatious mockery of Santa, and had a large wooden candy cane. He wielded it as a weapon. More effectively than I would have expected.

[ SHE'S A HOTHOUSE FLOWER, FELIX, EVEN WITHOUT HER ACTUAL HEALTH-INFLICTED PHYSICAL WEAKNESS AND FRAGILITY. ]
... A fish. On the dry land? [ Normally she would snap at the ridiculous notion, but she's also carrying a living dollop of cream that floats and speaks and breathes, so. She's gonna try to keep an open mind. ] ... I suppose these devices that house the creatures may be safe enough to carry it around since it looks as if they're designed to contain whichever type safely, but that is quite the jarring mental image. But thank you, I will keep all of this in mind.
[ And train the milcery well- if Lysithea could fight, so will it. ... Perhaps that is why she received it? After all, if anyone knew about pushing yourself past the limits of frailty and weakness, it was certainly her. ]
That holiday does sound rather nice... But it says a lot about the bandit himself, to insult such a notion. I bet you're rather pleased that you won't be completely wanting for skilled opponents?
no subject
I don't understand it either. The fish survive on land even outside their balls. They just flop around like--uh. You know. I had one too, but I caught it later. Both of them have now evolved into large river serpents. Before you ask, I have no idea how that works.
[Felix wears a small, satisfied smirk.] Yes, fortunately I have found plenty of skilled opponents here. It came as a surprise given the eerily placid nature of this place, but it seems that plenty of other visitors like us are used to combat. And of course, I spar with Dimitri often.
[He glances elsewhere then, focusing on something (or maybe nothing) just offscreen.] I don't suppose you've seen Annette since you arrived, have you?
no subject
[ And doesn't he look so pleased! She'd always admired his drive and skill, even if his attitude could leave something to be desired at times- not that she could talk, truly. ]
At least all that work won't go to waste then. I wish I could say the same for my magic, but I refuse to let the rest of my studies be useless here.
No, I haven't. I thought I spotted Ashe, and I've seen Leonie, but otherwise I've only gotten word from you and now Claude. I'm sorry. If she does show up, I'll bring her with me though, I promise.
no subject
[He nods in approval. This is why he's always liked Lysithea--she seems to be the only one who understands why he never stops training. Well, that and she actually managed to make a cake he liked. Truly a miracle.]
Exactly. I've heard there are Pokemon scholars and professors in this world willing to share their studies. It wouldn't take long for you to catch up.
[He gives the space next to his screen a curt nod.] Thank you.
no subject
I see! So they experience a sudden, permanent transformation that both represents their newfound strength and grants them further capabilities. What fascinating creatures- and so unlike the monsters we're used to.
[ And the milcery seems proud at her wording. Do you hear that, world? It's fascinating! And then it dissolves- uh, but not literally- into giggly coos as Lysithea absently pets the top of it's head. It doesn't feel at all what she thought it would! And she's not sure how concerned about that she should be, actually. ]
It sounds as if there will be plenty to ask about. Thank you for all of your advice so far, Felix. I won't put it to waste.

Oh! That- sounds wonderful. Thank you, Felix.
no subject
[Sure, Felix. That's the only reason. You can't just be nice or anything.]
In Azalea, the people let dozens of notoriously stupid pink lizards live all over their town, wherever they want. You can hardly walk down the street without tripping over one. Here in Goldenrod, there's some kind of...thunder ghost that possesses devices to take on different forms, they're everywhere. But those forms aren't permanent.
As for evolution, the only ways I've seen it happen so far is through training and experience or with special stones or items. If there are other ways, I don't know what they are.
[A pause.] Oh. I suppose you were bound to find out eventually. But there are ghost Pokemon here.
no subject
[ She sounds offended but she looks fond. ]
It sounds like they really live hand in hand with nature. It's admirable, honestly. Maybe there's something for us to learn from it... as inconvenient as large lizards may possibly be.
[ And then "ghost" register, and while she tries not to, she freezes instantly.
How fast can she leave?! ]
That- that's utterly ridiculous! What does that even mean!?
no subject
[He scoffs.] Cats are fine, but horses and wyverns can stay in their stables where they belong. Pokemon are a lot smarter than ordinary animals. ...usually.
It is ridiculous. [He agrees completely.] And I have no idea what it means. I met someone who claims to be the Prince of his world's afterlife, and he doesn't even know what it means.
[He pulls out a pokeball and brings out his Doublade.] But this is a ghost possessing two swords. ...his name is Zoltan.
no subject
[ And you can see her getting out of the chair, picking up her milcery and walking away off screen in a hurry. And maybe it is a childish reaction, but like. Despite her fears, she never actually had to deal with ghosts. And now she does. Go easy on her?
After a considerable pause, once can likely hear the sound of light but rushed footsteps before Lysithea returns to view, glaring at the camera. ]
This is utter nonsense!!
no subject
It is. There's a lot of nonsense here. Like the nurses and law enforcers, who are all just...copies of the same person, somehow.
[The ghost swords are still just...floating there, waving their tassels about ominously.]
Where did you go?
no subject
[ They're unnerving. She dislikes them. She won't- she won't say that she hates them, because it's hardly their fault that they're awful little monsters, but she dislikes them a lot. ]
What a strange place we've been brought to. I can only hope that it's worth the experience.
