[That thing looks like stuffed toy, like a corporate mascot. Yet it can drain life…? He narrows his eyes. Even the most childish shadow or Persona looks like more than that.]

Ah. One moment.

[His eyes track something offscreen. Then he lunges forward and grabs something. He pulls up a fluffy fox — a Hisuian Zorua. And then it bites him, and he drops it.]

I’ve never been particularly skilled with animals.

[livlaughlove]

[Maybe Livio jumps at that just slightly more than is reasonable. Maybe.]

Ah! Jeez, are ya okay?

[He winces, eyes now slightly averted from the camera.]

I ain't good with... little doggies, either, exactly, but I'm pretty sure they don't like bein' yanked around...

[bleakdecember]

[He examines his hand offscreen, but keeps it out of frame. He doesn’t seem to rattled though.]

It’s nothing serious, haha… is there a way I can trade this one for one less, ah… with smaller teeth?

[livlaughlove]

[Well, as long as Akechi isn't concerned, seeing as he's the one who has to deal with the little rascal.]

You might could catch another one, or find somebody to trade with... I got no experience with the latter, or... gettin' rid of 'em in general. I just know I never heard of somebody goin' around with none, y'know?

[bleakdecember]

[He also just doesn’t want to admit weakness to a stranger. It’s fine.

The zorua returns to sniff at the corner of the camera. He tries to show it off, briefly showing he’s bleeding a bit.]

Alright. How would I tell the general power of each one of these? I assume mine is stronger than those small bugs I’ve seen, but there much be something more powerful than this…

[livlaughlove]

The Gear should have an app with data on your team. Y'can use it to scan wild Pokemon, too, to get an idea of how they'll match up. Power seems to be... kinda subjective, though? Most folks think of Bug as weak and stuff like Dragon as strong, but I'm pretty sure there's variations...

[Again, he's trying not to look directly at Zorua, the poor attention-starved thing, but he trails off as he sees the red on Akechi.]

Uh... you sure you're good? Might wanna clean that if you're able...

[bleakdecember]

[Dragon, huh… that’s different from shadow types, clearly. He wonders how many, and then opens his mouth to ask. But then.]

Oh, yes. Give me a moment. You know what—

[He adjusts the gear so it’s sitting in the ground. His Zorua clearly comes to investigate, and watches the video feed. Akechi appears to be putting in a bandage of some sort in the background.

He allows Zorua to investigate more.]

And what… type of these creatures do you prefer?

[livlaughlove]

[You know, Livio is just gonna coax Hoppip over into his lap so she can watch the screen instead. Maybe he will even play with her nubby little paw-legs.]

Say hi, June.

[And she does so, with a pleasant little trill.]

I'm pretty fond o' Grass types. Ain't really any where I come from, so it's nice. Ghosts've grown on me, too. I like their moxie.
