ratherbelocky[The feed flips on to show a man holding a brush in one hand and a young Shinx in his lap. Both of them appear to have been freshly bathed, with the damp Shinx swaddled in one of Cherrygrove Inn's warm, fluffy towels. When all of her wriggling and protesting comes to naught, she just lies there in her towel burrito and seethes. York, on the other hand, has found that shops in this world do, apparently, sell hair product for humans, and he couldn't be happier. He's fixed his hair for the first time in days. Life is wonderful.
Not that vanity's necessarily the reason he hasn't introduced himself to the PokéConnect community at large yet. It's just. You know. Coincidence.]
Good morning, people. And Pokémon, too, of course, can't forget you guys. For those of you I haven't spoken to yet, I'm York, I'm one of your more recent unwitting transplants to sunny Johto. Or, well, partially cloudy Johto, anyway. How about that weather, huh?
[The temperature has dropped literally twenty degrees in the five days since he got here, oh my god, why. Being caught out on the road in yesterday's rainstorm sucked. Now he's warm and dry and comfortable in a clean shirt a couple sizes too big for him (and he's not exactly a small man). Really, what could be better than being alive here and now?
He rubs the Shinx's fur drier, unwraps her, and then holds her still before she can escape so he can brush the tangles out. She mewls fussily, but his hands are steady, and eventually she relaxes--if mutinously--into the attention. He chuckles a little.]
But okay, I'm not actually here to make small talk. I got a question for you folks.
[He turns the PokéGear with the back of his brush to show another Pokémon, an Elgyem, bundled up in a blanket on the bed, fast asleep.]
Can someone tell me more about Psychic Pokémon? [He goes back to brushing.] I get that they read minds--Delta Two there communicates with me all the time--but she doesn't use words so it's hard to get more...complicated ideas across, sometimes. I was wondering, can you train them to talk? Or do other things? These guys are obviously a lot more intelligent than the animals back on my Earth, so I guess you could say I'm curious about what they can do.
[The Shinx's eyes are half-closed now as York brushes away. Someone's a sleepy baby.]
'Preciate your time. Over and out.

It's not true. Knowing's, like, ninety percent of the battle, and that's low-balling it. Take it from me, I used to be Special Ops. I know what I'm talking about.

Date: 2015-09-26 12:55 am (UTC)... Yeah, I'm glad I can help them in just the way I do. I can make them maps, tell them weaknesses of the enemy, health updates, and all those things! Plus, I always know where they are. That's gotta count for more than just standing on the sidelines.

Date: 2015-09-26 01:01 am (UTC)Geez, all that? Damn, girl. You know, where I'm from, they spent--I don't know--probably trillions of dollars trying to make field equipment that does just what you do? I'm tellin' you, ninety percent of the battle, minimum.

Date: 2015-09-26 01:14 am (UTC)Well, it's what I can do with my Persona.... I don't have that power here, so I'm just a normal girl. But I am good at remembering things that help out in my Pokémon battles, so at least I can be useful with that. It's how I've gotten so many badges!

Date: 2015-09-26 03:44 am (UTC)Oh yeah? How many you got?

Date: 2015-09-26 03:59 am (UTC)[She's not kidding. She's going for another when she gets to Mahogany.]

They sound fun. It's good to have someone here you know, too.

Date: 2015-09-27 02:44 am (UTC)Couple of my old friends turned up here within thirty-six hours of me. We're traveling together now, and...it's good. Haven't seen either of them in a long time.

Date: 2015-09-27 07:12 pm (UTC)[That thought makes her shudder.]

Date: 2015-09-29 01:29 pm (UTC)The people that are natives here.... don't seem too interested in a lot of things. Like that mom lady, or that old guy who gives you your first Pokémon.
