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.

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.

[One more than him and Mabel... yet he's not jealous. He loves having his one sister.

Dipper wraps an arm around his Mareep, pulling Lamby closer.]

I see... so don't trust them.

[faintwaves]

No, you'll know them when you see them, hopefully.

[But it doesn't seem like he...trusts a whole lot in general.]

I can try and answer if you've got anything else you're wondering.

[sneezelikeakitten]

[Seriously, the only person he trust on a regular basis is his sister.]

... how do they fit into the balls?

[faintwaves]

[She'll...try to example that by sight again, by holding up Aurora's Pokeball to her. A red beam of light comes out and POP! the sheep disappears in a flash of light.]

I'm not entirely sure, but it looks kind of like these balls can turn Pokemon into light and contain them inside. I don't really like keeping them in the balls, but sometimes it's safer for them--like if it's cold or something.

[sneezelikeakitten]

[That is still the strangest thing in the world. So they go in the way they go out. But why turn into light...]

Hm... and there's no one that can explain how it happens?

video

[faintwaves]

...Whoever invented the Pokeball, maybe. Maybe that same person invented TMs and HMs, too.

But, um, the native people here don't talk in-depth to us very much. They just repeat the same stuff over and over again.

[Thus it's not just Namine's tendency towards being shy that caused her to flub explaining it, it's just...very difficult to explain in the first place.]

So we can try to explain it as much as we want, but honestly it's a mystery that a lot of us have given up trying to crack.

[sneezelikeakitten]

[Brainwashed, the lot of them.

This boy is going to deliberate if it's worth it to stick around here if he's already told Jade he'd go with her.]

Right. I'll save that for another day then.

[faintwaves]

Well...you'll have a lot of time here to think about it and find your own answers, if you're not happy with what you've got already.

Sorry, I probably should have been specific about what kinds of questions I can answer.

[She shrugs.]

video

[sneezelikeakitten]

You've given me a lot to think about. I can find other ways to answer my questions.

[Kthnx]

video

[faintwaves]

Oh, that's good, I hope you do.

[As long as it doesn't involve scaring innocent Namis again.]

Be careful out there, though. Some of the biggest hazards are the weather and other trainers challenging you to battle.

video

[sneezelikeakitten]

The weather can't be that bad. I'll be fine. With the trainer thing, too.

[Both of these things will be a huge hazard to this kid really fast.]

video

[faintwaves]

Well...if you're sure. Sometimes it helps to travel with people that arrived at the same time you did, too.

[He seems so confident, how can she doubt?]

--Oh, my name is Xion, by the way. I know you didn't ask that, but I should say before I forget.

video

[sneezelikeakitten]

I am! Her name's Jade, and she's got a friend here already.

[Xion? Sounds French. Was she French?]

Dipper. Dipper Pines.
