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.

Okay, so...Pokemon evolution? Has nothing to do with natural generational evolution. When they 'evolve', it's because you love them a lot, or give them a special magic rock, or have them battle a certain other Pokemon, or reach a certain level of power. Then they immediately turn into a whole new Pokemon.

You can apply those kinds of concepts to natural evolution. Animals that live in areas that are safe, where they have a lot of food, caring for, and other things will be evolutionary different than the same animal that doesn't have those things. It's not magic. It's science.

Jut like a human who lives in a cave is evolutionary different from a human who lives on the coast. It comes down to genetics, too.

Yeah I....I know what normal natural evolution is.

Climate and natural resources and selection mean animals that are suited to survive do, and pass their traits on to the next generation, making it stronger and more suitable.

It doesn't involve hugging a ferret and then there's a glow of light and a tinkly sound and the ferret instantly turns into a dragon. That is how Pokemon evolution works.

Still sounds like the world's form of evolution. So it's not magic.

I thought you were into weird stuff.

Just because you can call something by a name you know, that doesn't make it any less magical. Pokemon are pretty magical.

And this is coming from a mystically reincarnated super human who can make any element do what I want, so....

I-It's not weird to be into weird things!

What.

...Never said it was, relax. I just meant after being so set on mysteries, I'd think you'd be a little more interested in the weird and mysterious 'evolution' of Pokemon, that's all.

You heard me.

Evolution can be explained. Figuring out why they evolve the way they do is a mystery.

So you're the Dali Lama?

[Korra laughs.]

Okay, fair enough! You must come from a pretty science-y world, huh?

...sort of? I'm the Avatar. It's a lot like the Dali Lama, I guess, but with a lot more controlling elements and hanging out with actual spirits.

[She's heard that comparison before.]
