[brokenuniverse]

Huh. That's... ["weird" goes unsaid.]

I was thinking this place might be the afterlife or something, but I guess maybe not. [There isn't really much use dwelling on it.]

Oh, right! This is a bit late, but introductions! My name is Kotone Shiomi. And yours?

[crystalmaster]

I'm pretty sure it's not, especially since most people end up going home eventually.

[He smiles.]

I'm Radley.

[brokenuniverse]

[She'll think about the implications of that when paired with her situation later. For now, Social Link Go!]

It's good to meet you, Radley! Glad I ran into somebody friendly.

[crystalmaster]

I'm happy to help! I can give you my contact info in case you need anything. I live in Goldenrod, but I can use some of the warp pads in the Pokemon Centers as long as they're places I've been before. They make travel easy, as long as I don't use too many too fast.

[brokenuniverse]

[Ooh, they have teleport pads here? Noted!]

I mean, I don't wanna put you out or anything. I'll probably only call you if I wanna chat, but if you're fine with that, then... Yeah!

[crystalmaster]

Sure, I'm usually always available for a chat!

["Eevee!" said Evan.

Meanwhile, a shy Ralts peeked out from around Radley's leg.]

[brokenuniverse]

Cool! Lemme just...

[She rummages in the pack strapped to her hip for a moment before pulling out her PokeGear, taking a moment to smile and wave with one finger at the little Ralts.]

I haven't fooled around with all the functions yet, but it can be a phone, right?

[crystalmaster]

[The Ralts gives a shy little smile, but keeps hugging Radley's leg.]

Yeah, it sure can! It does video calls.

[brokenuniverse]

Ohh, so it's pretty advanced! Definitely gonna have to fool around with it more when I get the time.

[She smiles as she looks from the Ralts to the Pokemon who had run off to play.]

All the things I've run into so far are really cute. Are there bigger ones out there?

[crystalmaster]

Yeah, I'm still not sure I've seen everything it can do!

[He chuckles.]

There sure are. Some are so big, they can't go in the house.

[He shows a picture of Onix.]

[brokenuniverse]

[Her eyes widen a little when she looks at the picture.]

Oh wow! Okay, so there's a lot of variety then. That's cool.

[crystalmaster]

Yeah, no kidding! Some of the Types are really confusing. There's some that seem to be made out of food!

[brokenuniverse]

U-um, just asking... Do people eat some of these? [The potential implications of having a little pig are hitting.]

[crystalmaster]

[Radley cringes.]

I ... honestly don't know. There's meat here, and it's a mystery what's in it. I don't eat it myself because the thought of eating Pokemon just kinda ... doesn't sit well with me. I might not wanna eat meat anymore when I go home, either.

[brokenuniverse]

I'll, uh... Be careful about what I eat here then.

[She watches over her Tepig a little longer before smiling.]

Yeah, I can't help but see them as companion type animals.

[crystalmaster]

Good idea.

[He smiles too at the cute games the Pokemon are playing.]

Me too. I don't like battling them. I hate seeing them get hurt, even if it's not like it'd be back home. I'm a breeder and I try not to get into battles unless I have to.

[brokenuniverse]

Yeah, I can understand that. I've only had a couple of scraps with some wild ones so far, but it feels bad to just leave them collapsed like that after...

[With a quick gesture towards her Tepig.] He seems to enjoy it though, so I feel like it'd be bad to stop him. I'm gonna try not to let it go too far though!

[crystalmaster]

[Radley doesn't feel as bad to leave the wild ones collapsed, since they attacked him and his Pokemon, but he can understand the feeling.]

Yeah, I don't actually tell mine they can't, but they know I don't like it much and they're okay with that. I'm glad they're not the kind who are obsessed with battling like some are.
