I sure know that. Pokemon, luckily, are kinder than some people.

... You sound like someone who's experienced the cruelty of people firsthand.

Yes, it definitely is.

[She's commenting distractedly as she crams stuff into a bag. The camera on the gear jiggles as she runs downstairs.]

There's a plant theme for most of the town names in Johto, while Kanto seems to run on a colour theme, with the exception of Pallet, however when you think about it, Pallet is likely based on the word palette, you know, like an artist's palette. Oh, and the pink pokemon is called a Slowpoke.

[Trust Hermione to give a geography lesson now of all times. The gear straightens up as she calls out her Altaria, Nimbus.]

Hold tight Luna, I'll be there in under half an hour!

Nimbus, we need to go to the Olivine Pokemon Centre.

[There's a chirp and a rustle as Hermione clambers onto Nimbus' back, the gear showing lot of white cloud for a moment.]

[OOC: Will switch from Network to Action for Hermione's next tag, when she arrives in Azalea :).]

[Okay well that was adorable, making Rapunzel laugh.]

I'm glad you think so, too, Terry. [When looks up at Rock, her smile is a little less bright and her voice sounds more reserved.] I'm Rapunzel. It's nice to meet you.

[Rapunzel nods with a sigh.] I know what you mean... I know some clever and strong animals, and Pokemon even have powers that those don't, but it's still worrying to send them out into a fight.

But that's why we're here, right? I mean, at the school. So we can learn about berries and all the other things we can use and do to help them stay safe.

... Okay, I realize that sounds really stupid but most pokémon are friendly. A lot of them understand human speech and they'll let you know if they're interested or not.

Really, though, just out of the blue? I don't even need to watch them or have them watch me for a spell?

[Were the Pokemon really that gullible? ... Well, the blob is still here after Snakes had basically ran off "Every man for himself"....]

Route 29
[All things considered, this experience is only slightly weirder than an average day working at the studio. That includes the fact that he's no longer a rat but instead a short, stocky human in need of a haircut, which is definitely the strangest part of this. The Pokemon? Not strange at all. Gonzo's tried to smuggle way more out-there critters into their place before.

And he has one, now, right? That lady gave him one when she finally got him awake. It's still in the ball; how does he open this thing? Oops, probably not by dropping it--]

Ah, shoot-- Oh.

[--Or maybe that's it exactly. Go figure. Looking at the Pokemon he was given -a Torchic - Rizzo is pretty sure this is some kind of cosmic irony. A joke. He just can't decide if it's a funny one or not.]

...Well, wait a sec. That's just a big ol' baby chicken, ain't it?

Slowpoke Well
Somebody get me outta here!!

[The shout comes from down the slowpoke well. He blames the lack of a tail. It throws him off balance. He's just down there among the slowpoke, now. Cacciatore (his Torchic) is out of her pokeball just in case, but the slowpoke haven't noticed him.]

These guys make Fozzie seem on-the-ball. Sheesh. [He gazes up the well, then sighs and glowers at Cacciatore.] I'm really wishing ya could fly right now.

Network (Voice)
[No introduction or hemming and hawing. Just a New Jersey accent and a single request:]

Alright, the best places around here to get some eats-- go.

Wildcard
(Go for it, this is all for shits and giggles.)

[Radley has to grin at this request. Of course, he knows exactly what to say.]

Hi! My place in Goldenrod City has a wide variety of menu options to suit your needs. Radley's Diner and Eevee Cafe.

[Several Eevees say Hello in the background.]

Route 28 - Back to step one

Oh. So you wanna go?

[It was a girl yelling as she scowled at the small creature ahead of her. A Sentret that had just jumped out into the path, directly in front of Gabi. Puffing it’s cheeks out, not budging an inch to let her pass… Though it would have been easy to step around.

The girl didn’t seem to mind at least. No, she was smirking, hands on her hips.]

Okay. But it’s your own fault.

[And with that Gabi tossed her pokéball. Rhyhorn materialising with a rough snort, looming over the fuzzball. It was smaller than his foot. The Sentret was probably regretting it’s life choices. But it was too late.]

Go, tackle! [And she threw an arm up.

This… This hardly seemed fair. But Rhyhorn dutifully obeyed his orders. Tossing his weight forward into a charge. Rapidly building up speed as he approached the other Pokémon.

Yeah, the Sentret was fleeing. Bouncing off the path and back into the surrounding trees.]

HA! You better run! [Gabi chuckled, watching the canopy above her, trying to spot her opponent. Her gaze dropping to look at her Rhyhorn’s retreating back.] Hey, where are you-

[Off one of the ledges. He’d just blindly charged right off the edge of the a little cliff. All 120kg of him, gone. Oh…]

Network - What a cool dude

Look! I caught one annnnd it’s super strong too!

[Just a preteen yelling at the top of her lungs into her pokégear. Look at that smug smirk on her face, look at it!. Then she’s redirecting the camera, turning it to the Pokémon that was flexing it’s non-existent muscles.

Not non-existent because it was scrawny, no. But because it was a rock. Just a Geodude, also smirking, as it flexed. ]

[Rapunzel finds the enthusiasm charming, and it's hard to contain her giggly amusement as she responds.]

Congratulations! He does look very tough.

[ falco had his gear, and a handbook, and . . . "mother" . . . he also had the social resources to ask around new bark town for a better gist on what he should be doing here with his blue penguin companion (if he's going to be here a while, he's decided to name her "poppie").

once he felt ready to try his hand at tecnology— he gawks at what he sees playing on the little screen and practically shrieks in surprise with his boyish voice cracking: ]

Gabi—?!

[While he's stood by the door, it opens again. He's still completely ignored. 'Mom' is busy wrangling a small girl out the door.]

Argg-! [Said child was howling, wiggling around. Kicking out, but it did nothing against the powers of Mom, then she was just unceremoniously plonked onto her feet. Getting the generic, go to the professor speech, 'catch lots of pokemon, change your underwear'.

Immediately she's on her feet, rattling and banging on the door.]

Hey! What was that?

[The child is enraged.]

[Well, she is certainly enthusiastic, Armin can give her that! He's never been very interested in rock pokemon, but every kind has its enthusiasts, doesn't it?]

He does look strong. Just make sure you aren't holding him when he evolves.

[Hmm. Yes. Armin has A Trauma.]

[Oh no, she's being encouraged.]

I know right. [A beat, then she pauses.] ...How do you know it's a boy?

[It a rock.]

[The cheer dies down. Gabi going silent as that voice processes.

Calculating.

Thinking....]

Well, he's flexing his arms like that. That's something guys do, right?

[There are some areas where being self-taught based on observation works for Rapunzel, like painting or charting stars. Gender roles, though. It doesn't quite work out there.]

[Swinging the camera back around.]

Falco!? You're here?

[All the ????????]

[It's a very... normal world logic. Rocks are rocks, they're not alive. They normally don't move. That means they can't die, and so they are the strongest.

If this wasn't the world of pokemon that logic might have worked out.]

...I can't hold him.

[She is just a normal non-Mikasa pre-teen. The 20kg pokemon is too heavy to carry.]

[Thinking about that.]

I guess Reiner has a lot of muscles...But Miss Mikasa has the next biggest.

[What are gender roles when everyone is buff.]

[everybody knows pokemon don't die. They just go to a farm.]

I don't necessarily mean off the ground, you could just have your arms around him in a hug.

It's just-- he's going to grow a lot when he evolves, and you don't want to get trapped underneath him. Trust me, I would know.

[She has no idea what a Murkrow is.]

dont you play that at beaches

[Isn't that what adults told all kids about animals?]

...Cool. That means he'll get stronger right? [This is great... His warning has been completely blanked.]

Oh...! [A sheepish smile.] Sorry, maybe your Pokemon is a girl, then.

Either way, it seems like they take pride in being strong. I bet you could raise them into a really strong battler, if you wanted.

[Why does this child remind him so much of Eren?]

Well, yes. He will certainly get stronger than he evolves. And heavier. Again, please make sure to step back when he starts to evolve. You'll recognise it pretty easily.

[Bless his heart, he tries.]

I don't know. It doesn't have a butt. [That's how you know right? But she's quick to recover, pumping a fist.]

Of course, it will. I'm going to train it. [She's going to be the strongest.]
