004 [ACTION+TEXT]

[ACTION for Route 35]

[It had happened again. By this point, the fact that the Oshawott had fainted wasn't even surprising.

It was almost as if the thing couldn't deal with near-constant training-actually, it didn't seem to enjoy fighting at all. Well, not every Pokemon could be a well-oiled fighting machine Skarmory or Scyther, but this was just frustrating. He'd deliberately tried to avoid having to deal with something like this. He did see something approaching promise there, so it wasn't just something to throw out, but he'd presumably have to beat it into being less terrible.

He (somewhat roughly) nudged the Pokemon with his foot, checking for a reaction, before just recalling it and letting Scyther loose on the now incredibly unfortunate Drowzee. After making quick work of that thing, well, time to head towards the Pokemon Center...]


[TEXT]

What do you do if a Pokemon is being generally difficult to train? My other Pokemon have been coming along fairly smoothly, so I'm at a bit of a loss as to why this one isn't. It seems like a bit of a waste to just give up on it, but it's just not very good at fighting.

002 [VIDEO]

[It's late afternoon on Saturday, and... well, it appears as though Bradley took a detour to the National Park on his way to Goldenrod. He seems fairly confused by something, although it isn't really obvious what it is...]

My, these Pokemon certainly are resilient, aren't they? You'd expect insects to do much worse against a bird made entirely out of sharp edges, but it seems as though they only ever get knocked unconscious.

How curious-though, I suppose this sport would be less popular if your Pokemon actually had a chance of dying. Nothing really works as you'd expect here, does it? Speaking of which-what exactly are the standards for that bug catching contest? Surely, a...

[...how the fuck do you even describe that thing... he doesn't have it out because he is not some kind of Ash Ketchum type, but... uh...]

...Scyther would be more impressive than some sort of cocoon, wouldn't it? I didn't have much of an investment in the contest in the first place, but it's somewhat baffling.

01 [Video] [backdated to before port!]

Let's see, now...

[There is some clear fiddling going on here. Which is to be expected, really, given how many people currently on the barge are from pre-computer settings. It flickers from audio to video a few times before finally settling on the latter, revealing a man whose expression is less "panicked about suddenly coming back from the dead" and more "mildly annoyed at the situation."]

Though this has some features I'm unfamiliar with... I'm assuming this is some sort of radio, so if whoever's responsible for my presence here is receiving this... I'm having some difficulty in determining what, exactly, you planned to achieve by recreating my room like this. Were you truly expecting me to believe that all of that was just some sort of dream? If so, then you weren't particularly competent in doing so, since there are a number of objects that appear to be missing.

Explain yourself.
