From-from other worlds? How is that even possible?

[Seymour looks like he just barely understands what this man is saying to him. He isn't panicking, per se, but was still a lot to take in.

But hey, he's cool with talking about plants.]

So it's a Bellsprout? Am I right in assuming it's related to pitcher plants?

[journalname]

Magic, I suppose.

[Mental note: probably no need to tell this one that he isn't normally a human right now. BUT YEAH PLANTS]

It is! Or, at least, it is extremely similar to them - I am not entirely certain of the ancestry of Pokemon. Wild Bellsprout feed much like ordinary pitcher plants, but you can feed yours Pokemon food!

[dontfeedplants]

I guess if it's magic...

[A week or so ago, he would have been skeptical about that "magic" claim but he figures it's a decent enough explanation right now.

More comforting than going crazy, at least.]

Um, what exactly is in "Pokemon Food"? Is it just regular plant food, or...?

[A slightly paranoid side of him is worried that the answer is "human flesh".]

[journalname]

Berries, largely. They grow wild all throughout the region - they do not taste good to humans, but it seems that all Pokémon like them. You can buy special blends for grass-types, but I believe some good sun and soil from time to time will do them just as well!

[that shit's expensive, humans and all their fancy health foods]

[dontfeedplants]

[There is a small sigh of relief.]

Oh of course, it would be cruel if I didn't give this little guy sun or water. But if it needs special plant food to thrive, I wouldn't mind paying a little extra for that.

... It's not too expensive, right?

[Because he is suddenly struck with the realization that, whatever he is, he probably doesn't have any usable money again.]

[journalname]

The ordinary Pokemon food is not! There should be some in the bag that, ah, the woman in the house gave you. [He's not super comfortable with Mom.] And the wild berries are free for anyone to pick.

[dontfeedplants]

Oh, right, she did give me some stuff, didn't she?

[Seymour similarly looks pretty uncomfortable with this mom person. It was unnerving to him, having never known his parents, suddenly have a woman refer to him as her son. (He may or may not have thought for a split moment that his real parents actually found him, but that woman could not have been too much older than him and also this is definitely not his world.)]

But if there's wild berries I can pick I might just give it that for awhile. I ... I probably don't have a job here so money might be hard to come by for awhile.

[Not that his old job paid great until that plant thing.]

[journalname]

Ah, yes. I did the same thing for quite a long time. But it's quite easy for us newcomers to find employment here - I am working in a flowershop now. They understand that we are all in difficult circumstances.
