Journal Entry # 1 [Video/Action]

[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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Well... if you'll be in this world for some time, once one of your Pokémon learns Fly... You can investigate more?

[What]

I have to teach them how to fly?

[Does he look like a bird???]

Not exactly... there's a device called an HM that you break over their heads in order to teach them something new.

You break it over their heads?!

[WHAT KIND OF PLACE CONDONES THAT KIND OF ANIMAL ABUSE?]

How does that teach them anything but to be afraid of you?!

Oh! Um, no, it doesn't hurt them at all! Please don't worry!

Then why can't people find a less violent way... like, I don't know, train them like you would train a dog? With whistles and manuals. Positive reinforcement. You don't need to break things on their heads!

[Aaaand here comes sis cutting in to help!]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on--she didn't say break it on their heads, she said over!

[Please do not accuse her sister of being violent towards Pokemon, how dare.]

Namine wouldn't hurt any Pokemon! And neither would the rest of us!

[Oh these girls look alike. Twins????]

It's still not right. How does anyone learn anything by having something broken over their head other than the fear that someday an object will hit it and hurt it!

[TM's don't work like that, Dipper. Calm yourself.]

You...

[...]

Really don't have a clue what you're talking about...

[Sigh. Riku's training guide might not help with this at all, actually, so instead...Xion will just example it.]

Aurora, can you come here, please? [A cute pink sheep comes waddling over and Xion digs a TM out of her pocket.] Here, look, this is a TM right? Unlike HMs they're one use only.

[She holds it up over her Flaaffy's head, who sits patiently to wait, and snaps it in half. Some sort of dust sprinkles out, but other than that nothing seems to happen.]

Okay, now she knows the move "Toxic." That's how HMs and TMs work. It's like learning new magic, understand?

[..........................................................

............................

Fairy dust.

HE KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS PLACE.

Well, more wrong.]

A sheep knows how to poison someone now. Why.

[A pause.]

Because "Toxic" is one of the few TMs that nearly every Pokemon can learn.

[Xion that's...that's not what he asked.]

If I tried it with a move she couldn't learn, it wouldn't break.

[...]

But anyway, don't pick on my sister when she's trying to help you.

That's not-

[HOLD UP PACO]

I wasn't picking on her!

You scared her!

[That's totally the same thing.]

Namine's really kind and gentle, she wouldn't hurt anybody at all, let alone Pokemon. So. Apologize to her, please.

That's not picking on someone. Those are totally different things.

[Call it like it is.]

Fine. Just stop lecturing me.

Maybe to you.

[A guy that would yell at girls over assumptions he made.]

And I'm not lecturing, I'm explaining on behalf of my sister. You flipped out on her over something without letting her explain, I'm here now explaining it. Don't you have a sister? Wouldn't you do that too?

No, to everyone.

[Have you never been picked on?

Also-]

My sister Mabel is good at explaining things on her own. She also does what you're doing now.

[Good thing she's not here.]

[She absolutely has been but in different ways and it's none of his business.]

I'd guess Mabel is also better at being sensitive, because you're sure no good at it. Namine would have explained it just fine if you didn't flip out and scare her.

Well, you don't tell someone something that sounds like animal abuse to someone else and not expect them to react badly!

[ ... as far as Naminé is concerned, he's right. And she feels awful for giving him that impression. ]

I'm sorry. It really is my fault. I should have explained it better.

[ACK now she's sad...]

N-No! I'm not mad at you! I'm sorry!

I-it's okay! I did make it sound cruel...

No... I just... misunderstood? Yeah, I misunderstood.

[...]

[She's still totally lost on how any of that could have been interpreted as animal abuse.]

Namine is the most gentle out of the three of us. If there's anybody you'd have to worry about doing...animal abuse? It's people in Team Rocket, and none of us are in Team Rocket.

[The kid is from California, PETA capital of the world. Everything seems to be animal abuse, including owning animals to them.]

Three?

[Wait... Triplets?]

Team Rocket? That sounds like a bad villain team from a Saturday morning cartoon.

Me, Kairi, and Namine. Three.

[Yep, triplets.]

Um, they are? A villain team, anyway, I couldn't tell you about the morning cartoon thing. They steal Pokemon and...uh--[she whispers this part] there's been stories that they kill some of them.
