[The cafes have been great. Being able to go in and sit with a new friend and enjoy your meal while it munches on a poffin? That's been the best part of randomly showing up in a new world, as those 'randomly hijacked to a new life and new job in a new world' experiences tend to go.]
[Which people shouldn't really have a whole lot of experience with that. But it seems like a lot of people here do? Which it's nice to have shared experiences but sheesh. Anyway...]
[The very best part, though, is helping out and there's a lot of that needed around here. Some of these pokemon have had a really tough time, and when Hunk sees a rescue party out trying to find an especially skittish stray with bad experiences that ran away from the shelter where it had been living and into danger he feels the need to join in. You've just got to, right?]
[He probably should have checked what a Geodude looked like before he set out in search of someone's wayward pokemon. He just gets caught up in the ferver of calling out 'Charlie' and hoping something comes out of the bushes. He's got a big heart and a strong mind he's just a little overeager sometimes. He's got the spirit. But it does mean that in the middle of shouting another-] Charlie! [-and some big round thing with beefy arms flees across the road, he shrieks in a not-exactly comforting fashion.]
[He's learned there are all kinds of ways for animals and people and everything to look by now. Just... you know... sometimes you expect legs and there are no legs!]
[So now there's Hunk at the edge of Lavender town, crouching down and trying to sweet talk a rock monster out from under a porch that he has no idea how it even managed to fit itself under.] Come on, big fella! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I got a great poffin recipe to try out. You could be my first taste tester! That sounds pretty great, right? ...Someone help me out here.
MOO MOO FARM - OBLIGATORY KALTENECKER JOKE
[Hunk's decided to do a food run with some friends, and he's excited for it! Fresh ingredients, a bit of travel, a road trip across beautiful countryside. But he's pretty dependent on other people for rides since none of his pokemon are of significant useful size. They're all still pretty small and growth is slow going because he's not been eager to battle them.]
[They're just cute babies, right! It's sad to see the cute babies fight. Sometimes they really seem to want to, though, and then he lets them.]
Do you think I need a Miltank? I think I need a Miltank. How much do they even cost here?
[Because he would happily buy an egg and love it and raise it and yes, even battle it if it wanted. Just because in this new life he's briefly been committed to? It would be best to have access to sour cream and milkshakes at a moment's notice. One needs to pre-emptively prevent culinary disasters. Speaking of which.]
Okay. So there are plant-like pokemon. If there are vegans in this world, is the rule that it can't be a pokemon? Or that it can't be meat? Would they drink soy milk if it came from some kind of theoretically plant-type Miltank? What are the food rules here? This is crucial, need to know high priority information that I... for some reason did not think to ask until just now. My bad.
