[He's been mostly avoiding people this month save for times when he couldn't, but even then. Antisocial is a Thing, as is coming to terms with not being able to go home (and probably needing to actually help rather than sulking), dealing with pokemon needing to heal the old fashioned way - which sucks, if you ask him-, and.... the baby seedot in his arms.

He looks rather annoyed to even be asking, but - he has no choice.] Katharine has pokemon. The girl who gave me this had some kind of pokemon, and [Here, Silver makes a face.] He's got a team.

...Who else here has pokemon and is willing to battle to make this thing stronger? My pokemon are too powerful for it.

[A beat, then] Same goes for the rest of my team. If I have to be stuck here, I'm not going to stop training. They've fallen behind.

[Of course this is the first thing on his mind. At least he's not insulting anyone? Yet.]

Many of the people here were gifted with Pokemon, it seems.

Emma would probably be up for playing with your kid, certainly.

[break_the_ice]

You sound disappointed... Are you all right?

[Audio]

[namesaquestion]

There was a girl giving them away. [To good trainers, but semantics.]

Emma? ... you... nicknamed it? [Legendaries, you one of those kinds?]

[freedom_engineer]

Ah, you've met Hilda then.

She's a Porygon, yes. Eecee Emma. I thought it fit her rather well.

[namesaquestion]

Yea, if that was her name.

[You can't see it, but he's linefacing so hard.] Porygon? that'd be good training for Seedot. Should grow some if it wins.

[...Silver, your EXP Mechanics are so 1999/2000.]

[There's not a human who responds, but a Pokemon. Floette huffs at the camera, waggling a tiny hand at Silver.]

Flo floette!

['Stop being so rude!']

[namesaquestion]

More like annoyed I had to wait this long for some of them to heal.

[Given the last battle he had was kinda. curbstomp brutal.] I don't like falling behind.

[namesaquestion]

[THIS FACE.]

The hell?

[freedom_engineer]

Huh... You do know they're just kids, right?

[namesaquestion]

Tch. You have to make a pokemon fight to toughen it as it grows. Weak ones won't protect you.

[break_the_ice]

How badly hurt were they...? I can show you how to treat some injuries, if you need.

[freedom_engineer]

Ah... you should probably speak to...

... Hmm, no, you probably SHOULDN'T speak to N if you're talking that way...

[namesaquestion]

[he's only admitting this because Roomie. and night avoidance isn't possible.] ... No broken bones, but ... Battles get rough.

[gianthobo]

Flo flo flo!

['You're doing it again!']

[namesaquestion]

What, he a bleeding heart like Lance?

[AND NOW HE'S CURIOUS.]

Re: [Video]

[namesaquestion]

I don't speak pokemon. Where's your Master? Ugh. Who lets a pokemon near the phone. Honestly...

[meanwhile the mun is laughing too hard, help.]

[freedom_engineer]

He was raised with Pokemon. He can talk to them.

He takes a dim view of trainers.

And he's not the sort to be apologetic about it.

[break_the_ice]

... Right, okay, you should come back to the room and I should take a look at them.

[Video]

[gianthobo]

... Flo. Floette flo.

['Friend, not master.' But AZ glances over at the noise.]

Hm?

Floette floette.

['He's being mean.']

[not here]

[unwrittenformula]

[Jiiiiiiiiiiii]

[namesaquestion]

Don't be a moron. You can't talk to pokemon. [....Silver, your roommate has a Talking Machine Gun.] Tch, who cares what a bleeding heart like him thinks? You want to make your porygon stronger, you have to make her fight.

Not like they'll actually hurt each other. Baby pokemon are nowhere near as stong as fully evolved ones.

Log or action spam? I don't mind either way.

[namesaquestion]

.... Sure. On my way.

[Video]

[namesaquestion]

Whoever this is, call back when you get that thing under control.

[AND TOTALLY HANGING UP ON YOU.]

[unwrittenformula]

You know nothing.

[freedom_engineer]

I can say as a matter of pubic record that you're wrong. Emma lives in my arm, I talk to her all the time.

Also, did I say he was a bleeding heart?

Don't misunderstand me. He was well-positioned to make war on humanity for the sake of Pokèmon. He's not someone you want to provoke.

As for battling, I'm not ignorant of the practice. I know that they enjoy sparring with each other. But making them fight is another matter entirely. It fosters aggression, and causes quite a bit of stress in them.
