Journal Entry # 1 [Video/Action]

[sneezelikeakitten]

[Anyone who walks by or happens to be watching the network feed will see a frustrated kid siting on the grass and flipping through an old, battered journal.]

There isn't anything in this book about 'Pokémon'! Or how a sheep can produce electricity! That mom lady must have been a shape-shifter who didn't look anything like my mom... and that professor makes McGucket look sane...

[The gear moves towards the boy before it's tossed to the ground. Unfortunately, it lands face down, obscuring whatever threw it and the boy.]

Hey! Don't break that. We might need it later.

Genderless Pokémon? Was it a rock?

[Rocks don't have genders unless you're someone who names them.]

Are they strange like this sheep, or are they regular dogs?

[adai]

No, it was a...

[...how the hell do you describe a Porygon. Rossiu trails off for a moment before shrugging and moving on.]

Actually, I think most of the rocks have genders. Geodudes and Onixes do.

[SORRY...]

Oh, I think they're fairly normal-looking? They aren't quite as odd as the sheep, at least.

[sneezelikeakitten]

[Don't leave him hanging, man...

WHAT]

Rocks... have genders...

[THAT IS SO WEIRD AND SOMEHOW WRONG]

I'll see if I can catch one.

[adai]

I think you can catch Geodude in a cave near Violet City. They're very strong Pokémon!

...But yes, most Pokémon have genders, even if it seems like they shouldn't.

[IT'S A LOT TO GET USED TO...]

[sneezelikeakitten]

[This place is weirder than he thought... can he go into denial mode now?]

I... see... I'll make sure to check that out.

[adai]

[YOU GET USED TO IT maybe.]

Oh, I almost forgot - are you prepared to go out on the routes in this weather? I showed up during the winter too and I wasn't prepared at all.

[...Because he'd literally never seen snow. Um.]

[sneezelikeakitten]

It's not that cold right now. I'll be fine.

[He will not be ready when it snows.]

[adai]

Okay. If it gets too cold, please make sure to get in contact with someone! I'm sure someone here will be able to pick you up or at least send you some warmer clothes.

[He'd offer, but honestly he doesn't have anything with Fly or Teleport, which makes things difficult.]

[sneezelikeakitten]

I'm traveling with a girl named Jade, so I should be fine. She's got some friends here that can help.

[Or so he hopes since Stan isn't coming for him as far as he knows.]
