[Gou comes on screen, and her Plusle's hanging out on her shoulder. Looks like he's catching a nap.]

Hey, what level should these guys be before trying to take on a gym? There's one in Violet, right? We're -- uh, Makoto-senpai and me -- are heading that way, and it seems like it'd be really fun to do!

[She glances over at the Plusle, still napping.]

Oh, and what kind of nickname would you give a Pidgey? She's in her pokeball right now, but I can't seem to think of anything good right now. There's a lotta pressure, I mean, I'm gonna be calling it that every battle from now on...

I mean, I guess they could go without one, but... it seems a little easier to have nicknames, especially if I might end up with doubles or triples of the same type.

Uh, I think that's everything... [The red pikachu (yeah, she's still internally calling it that sometimes) shifts a bit, rubbing the electric pouhcy bit riiight across her shoulder-- meaning, shock time.] Ow! Jeez, watch it, Piccolo! [She binks him in the forehead.] That's for other pokemon, not me--

[Video over.]

Ooh, so you can do trades here, too? Like, without gameboys?

[fourwayconnection]

Yeah, 'course. People can just send you an egg or a Pokemon and that's that.

[friendyousohard]

That's the spirit! And don't mention it, this is an important resource that everyone should learn about when they arrive. Really it's too bad we can't send out a welcome message with this sort of thing in it so everyone can find out right away.

Something suitably imposing and powerful, definitely. I don't think a lot of people call their Charizards 'Scaly'.

action? action!

[teammother]

Ahaha, I guess so. He can't really help it, huh? [ from his vantage point in Makoto's hair, Shou makes a sagely noise (or what is probably supposed to be a sagely noise) of agreement. ]

I still don't have very many. Just six so far. Though my starter is a water-type and the first gym is a Rock-type one, so that would be easy.

( subtly changes accounts . . . )

[codpieces]

I THINK BY _SEARCHING_ .
OH .
INITIATE NEW SEARCH ?
YES ! ! ! ONE MOMENT PLEASE !

█▄▀▄█ ▒█▄▄▄█ ▒█▄▄▄█ ▒█░░░

PIDGEY, THE _TINY BIRD_ POKEMON .
REPEAT POKEDEX ENTRY , Y / N ?

[fishybarrettes]

I hope I don't get a bad case of static cling when I open doors now... [Very sagely indeed.]

[fishybarrettes]

Hmm. Do you have any kinds of advertisements about it? Like, posters or flyers or anything?

[video]

[fishybarrettes]

Creamsicle's probably out, too.

[fishybarrettes]

Can you do that from far away, or do you have to meet up in person?

gasp!

[fishybarrettes]

I already heard that when I caught him-- uh, that's a no, right?

Are there any famous Pidgeys?

sorry i missed this one!

[fishybarrettes]

Whoa, that sounds like a lot of effort to go through just for a party.

I definitely am!

sorry i missed this one, too!

[fishybarrettes]

It can't be that hard to catch one, right?

[fishybarrettes]

Oooh! I think the first gym over here's flying types.

[codpieces]

ACTION CONFIRMED !
FAMOUS PIDGEYS_ ?

NO RESULTS FOUND :o(
I AM SORRY .

[fourwayconnection]

Either's fine. Some people send delivery Pokemon, but- have you used the PCs yet?

[fishybarrettes]

Aww.

Well, that's okay. I'll just have to make this one famous instead!

Hmm. The most famous bird I can think of is Tweetie...

[fishybarrettes]

The ones in the pokemon center? Nope, not yet.

[codpieces]

TWEETIE ?
WHO IS _TWEETIE_ ?

[fishybarrettes]

I think they're some kinda canary...? They're from some cartoons where I'm from.

[fourwayconnection]

Well, people can send you Pokemon and eggs through them! That's where any of your Pokemon not on your current team rest, too.

[codpieces]

CARTOONS :oD
I _LIKE_ CARTOONS !
I SEE _BITS- IN
_CYBERSPACE ! !
BBBBBBBBBBBBB

...Cute, but I'm not sure a Fire-type would like to be named after cream.

[friendyousohard]

I'm not sure, actually. I don't work there, so I don't have much knowledge about how they do things.
