 [The video flickers to life, for once not from a pokemon but by Harry himself. He waves slightly.]

Hello, sorry to bother people. I just have a question I'd like to ask the people here. 

I know pokemon are the main thing in this world. Catching, training and breeding them seem to be what we're here for. I was just wondering if there were people here who didn't do anything like that. And if so, what sort of things do you do in a world surrounded by them?

Just curious, so if you think I'm being nosy feel free to ignore this.

Thanks.

Well.. back home people had powers of their own. You know, like how fire type pokemon can shoot out fire from their mouths and how some can fly? It's something like that. Nobody seems to be able to do it here, it's weird.

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

I'd heard about that actually. Someone I used to know had some powers before coming here.

I wonder how they get them taken away here.

You know about them too? Nobody else besides my family that I came here knows about it. Maybe there's something blocking the powers out, but it works the opposite on animals.

video

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

Yeah. If you're here for a while you tend to run into people who have lost some sort of special power.

Maybe, maybe they use the powers they take from people to power the animals here.

[Sorry writer mode again.]

....though I think you'd have to bring a lot of people for that...

After the recent arrival of the Bloobers, it occurred to me that there must be people out there exploring and constantly looking for new pokemon.

[video]

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

You're probably right.

Makes you wonder how many types there could be out there.

[video]

[quickattackjack]

It does! And where do they come from? And there must be someone to spend months and years learning everything there is to know about those new pokemon. Someone has to fill the pokedex.

[video]

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

Scientists maybe? Though you'd think we'd hear more about them.

As to where they come from.... well most of my guesses are probably wrong so I'll just be confused.

_{[Henry is out and about today! And not being picked up by the garbage. Good job. Boo is on his shoulder and being used as an attempt to hide the smoke from the photographer's off screen cigarette.]}

Well, you guys already know I like taking pictures for people...they like remembering what their teams looked like when they were small. Have you thought about writing about pokemon?

[video]

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[Totally not smoking.]

You could probably go into business with your photography here if you wanted to.

I've thought about it. Maybe I'll give it a shot later on. I told Heather I'd start training my pokemon more though. Call me paranoid but I'd like to be able to defend myself better here.

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

I think you should! You could write a horror story about Arty and how terrible she is.

_{[Henry just...doesn't care for the Furret okay.]}

Oh, man, that's not paranoid at all. That's a necessity here. Have you ever been beaten up by Jigglypuffs? No, no you have not. And you don't want to be.

[video]

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[That gets a laugh.]

If I write something with them, you'll be the first to know.

[Oh Henry, those sound like painful flashbacks.]

...No that's something I'd like to avoid if I can help it....

Sightseeing.

Though I do find myself training Pokemon on the side anyway. There's only so many days one can take in the same forest before its natural beauty becomes a bit stale.

video

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

Yeah, there can be some pretty long camping trips when travelling in this place.

Have you seen many places so far?

video

[usedfeatherdance]

More than half of the maps that we have. I've spent almost all of my life in one city, so it seems like a lot, but when I think back on it I find very little stands out in my mind. Then again, I much prefer civilization to the wilderness, so perhaps I just fell into the wrong world, hee hee.

video

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

Any plans for when you do see it all?

[otakon_geek]

I'm pretty new here and am wondering the same thing. I guess people could experiment and find out what true potential lies inside their Pokémon? What sort of personality defines each Pokémon and why they act the way they do. It's just something I've been wondering about my Piplup, since arriving here.

video;

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

Yeah it's....

[Wait.]

Otacon, I didn't know you were back.

[otakon_geek]

[Huh?..]

Back? I've only just arrived.

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

Just arrived?

Oh.

[Ah....well then. Heather is going to be crushed if she doesn't know already. ]

Sorry. I thought you were someone I knew for a second there.

[healing_wish]

UMMMMM, well I love drawing! So I ...always draw a lot, my sketchbooks are full of drawings of people with their pokemon, a-and of pokemon alone too.

Maybe once I have all the badges and experience of traveling around both regions, I can focus on that instead of training!

video

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

That sounds like a good hobby to have in a place like this. You'd certainly never run out of things to draw.

[foolishwren]

Don't think you've gotten out of those battle practices, dad.

But I think all the same activities that exist back home exist here. They're just... with Pokemon. You know.

[Video]

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[Holds his hands up in mock surrender.]

I wouldn't dream of it.

[He shakes his head though.]

You'd think I'd be used to that by now. I suppose when the world is surrounded by them, it makes sense. Though I do have to wonder if there are any locals that don't really care about them.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

I dunno.

I mean, there's plenty who don't care about like... their wellbeing.

But it's hard to be just COMPLETELY apathetic, y'know?
