Battling? Like the Pokemon? I know we had to go at some wild ones when they attacked, but that's really a way of life here? Back home it's illegal!

[In Snakes' time period, there are those who arrange brutal fights between dogs with people betting on them, so that is what he automatically thinks of.]

[thetombkeeper]

[Marik is familiar with the concept but seems unaffected by the aspect of it being illegal.]

It's less like cock fights and more... like exercise? It's really weird but some of them enjoy it. There's medical facilities in every town and they still potions so any damage your pokemon take, you can heal them.

[worstorganplayer]

... That is pretty out there. My blo - uh, Wobbuffet doesn't seem too interested in it. But that's legal and moneymaking, huh? I'll havta look more into it!

[Snakes' eyes gleam at the thought of money.]

Sell, not "still"*

[thetombkeeper]

You can always try catching other pokémon too. There's a couple of different ways you can do that. You can either weaken them first or ... just ask if they'd like to join your team. The latter is how I got pretty much all of my team.

Re: Sell, not "still"*

[worstorganplayer]

Yeah? You just walk up to some random Pokemon and ask if they wanna come along, and they'll say Yes even without knowing you?

[thetombkeeper]

... 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.

[worstorganplayer]

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"....]

[thetombkeeper]

Not out of the blue, no. Not all the time at least. You do need to earn their trust first. Food helps or even just chatting with them.

I mean, that's how it's worked for me so far...
