[The camera is set up to show a very tall, thin and darkly dressed man a few meters away, with a female Murkrow on his shoulder. He has a long length of twine with something shiny tied to the end: close inspection shows it to be a polished spoon. He starts swinging the twine and spoon over his head, getting some decent momentum going, before letting it go. He gives a sharp whistle, signaling the Murkrow to give chase. She snatches it out if the air easily, dropping it in his hand when he makes a different whistled command. This continues a few more times, each throw a different distance and height, the man even yanking the twine back once to force a sudden change of direction. Those that can understand Pokemon will be able to tell that Murkrow is loving this. Those that come from Fodlan will be able to recognize the whistles as pegasus training calls.
The man, Hubert, starts walking back to the gear, wrapping up the twine and talking as he goes]
Fasinating creatures. Their ability to understand and learn commands goes beyond any beast I've ever encountered before.
[he reaches his pack and puts the twine away, the spoon still in hand. He holds it up for the pokemon, but while she stares at it VERY intently she makes no move to snatch it]
Though I'm curious on how much of that is innate and how much is the machine they come in. I'm not interested in brainwashed loyalty.
[Murkrow makes an annoyed 'krrrr' sound at that, and Hubert turns to look at her. They stare down for a moment until Hubert appears to see something he approves of and nods]
Release.
[ and instantly she snatches the spoon, happily clacking it around in her beak as Hubert switches off the broadcast, seemingly satisfied]
