1st Station ➲ Video

[infinitegrin]

[Hey, haven't you seen this face before, Luceti? Isn't it usually more frown-y, and doesn't that guy wear black?

...Nah, it can't be the same guy, this guy seems so much more exuberant in comparison.]

Got it to work! I am Emmet! I am a Subway Boss. I like trains. I like combinations of two Pokémon. If you have Pokémon, we'll have to battle sometime!

Right! I see a lot of people disembarked on this station instead of the next - I am from the most recent arrival on the schedule! But Ingo is showing me around, so I don't need that much help.

And for those of you who were taking care of my brother while I was away, thank you! He's fussy, but he's a good guy.

That's true. [On both sides, really.....] Then again, it also makes it possible to trade with someone who may speak a different language; words aren't necessary in this form of trading.

[infinitegrin]

Right! It does wonder for that sort of thing. I've traded joltiks with others all over the place!

[JOLTIKS, NOTHING BUT JOLTIKS]

[tsuntrader]

[Other... Languages? But-

Wait a minute.] What's a Joltik again?

[infinitefrown]

[...Emmet will be happy to explain this part, probably.

joltik]

[infinitegrin]

They're the previous evolution of Galvantula!

[He lets out said fuzzy spider!]

Galvantula here is pretty big, but when they're Joltik, they're only four inches tall. They're so cute!

[tsuntrader]

[...Silver pauses to open his hand up. ...A Joltik is smaller than his hand.

...And then he looks over at his belt, where his Pokéballs are. Please for the love of god let no Joltik show up without Emmet around to immediately grab them, unless they want to be Murkrow food.]

[infinitefrown]

The smallest Pokemon in Unova, if not more. [...what's that look for]

[infinitegrin]

I don't think any of them will arrive here, though. They aren't a part of my regular team.

[O hey stranger, Galvantula scuttles over and investigates the newcomer, touching at his pants and feet with her mandibles.]

[tsuntrader]

[...Good. Good, that's definitely good.] That's half the size of the smallest Pokémon I know of.

[Seriously that's freaking- oh. Oh hi, Galvantula. Do you mind if he offers his hand over for you to examine. Please don't maul it, he kind of needs it.]

[infinitefrown]

Their size makes them a popular Pokemon, certainly. [Galvantula baby....]

[infinitegrin]

Yes! They make very good pets, especially for young children or as a classroom pet. But they're quite tough little things!

[Galvantula is okay with pets, but is muuuuch more interested in getting to know all of the scents and textures of this new person!]

[tsuntrader]

[The tough part isn't surprising. All Pokémon are capable of being tough. ...But he does look a little uncomfortable at the classroom pet implication. For young kids he can understand- he had Sneasel since he was a baby- but... Popular. Pets. He never really liked the implication of pets. Pokémon are- they're partners. There's no better way to put it. Pets...

...But maybe it's just a different word choice like Raven and "monsters".] I'm guessing they're more geared to special attacks, right? [Unless they are some sort of insane four inch thing that can ram its body into anything and give no shits.]

[infinitefrown]

[Maybe it's a more acceptable thing in gameverse world... considering how the professors introduce Pokemon and the whole "when babies take naps, Pokemon go to sleep right next to them"...]

That's correct; it's more prominent once they evolve, of course.

[infinitegrin]

["Pets" is probably a more catch-all phrase for Pokémon that don't battle, really. No one said that erryone gotta be a trainer! Or that only trainers deserve Pokémon companions.]

Yes! But they're quite handy battlers nonetheless, it's amazing how much power they hold in that tiny body!

[tsuntrader]

[...But isn't that just friends? ...Normal people are weird.

Well, whatever. Silver's just going to take a second to look at Galvantula and think of about twenty practical uses of a Joltik. It's so small. That would be so useful.]

That part's not surprising at all. [Pokémon are insanely strong, even in smaller sizes.]

[infinitefrown]

Perhaps not. [Pokemon are Pokemon, after all.] But it's certainly something to be admired.

[infinitegrin]

Yes! They're wonderful, I like joltik!

[tsuntrader]

[Nod. They do sound... Well, cute.



But why is this Galvanwhatever still feeling up my leg?]
