[There's a nod, scratching under the blue bird's beak as it preens her hair. At least she'd been around before to be able to explain these things.]

You would be correct, yes. I presume you were given red and white balls, like all of us who arrive are given? Those balls, PokéBalls, are used to capture wild Pokémon so we can train them too. Your partner does the fighting, you do the catching by throwing those balls at the wild ones.

[Wasn't that animal abuse? He wasn't about to go up and punch these things in the face! What kind of... oh... ohhh... Not him but the one that was following him around. It made more sense but still had the same feel as cock fights. But whatever, this world did what this world wanted to, Iwaizumi just needed to learn he ropes.

He did have one of the balls she spoke of. He reached for one and examined it as she spoke.]

So I make this little guy fight and then I knock out it's opponent with a ball to the head? [He smirked a bit.] That last part shouldn't be a problem. I'm used to that. [Just had to pretend it was Oikawa.]

[Willow covers a half choke at this boy's words with clearing her throat, looking rather shocked at the conclusion he came to at her explanation. But she quickly collects herself with a shake of her head.]

Not... Quite. Yes, your partner fights the wild one but you yourself don't do any of the fighting. You throw the ball once the Pokémon is weak, not knocked out.

[She says nothing of the last part about him being used to that, concerned enough already. She doesn't want to know how or why he's used to doing such things.]

If you're worried about how this all seems, just know the Pokémon enjoy battling. Wild ones jump out at you because they wish to join you, as strange as it all sounds.
