So hey, I've been meaning to ask... Do we have to keep these guys in those ball things? Is it some kind of law or something? I know it makes for better entrances and all, sure, but at least half of mine don't seem to really like it that much. Compared to being inside of them anyway.

[to make his point, Sonic tosses the PokeGear to his Sentret, who

Nirvash doesn't seem to care, either way.

[Anemone shifts the pokégear so that you can see the slowpoke still sleeping by her side. She rolls her eyes.]

Then again, he's too stupid to care either way.

[knaveofthewind]

... He does look kinda...

[Video]

[owmyheadhurts]

I know.

[Video]

[knaveofthewind]

What kind is he?

[Video]

[owmyheadhurts]

[Deadpan]

The stupid kind.

[Video]

[knaveofthewind]

... [well that doesn't say much for the girl.] I meant, y'know. Species.

[Video]

[owmyheadhurts]

A slowpoke.

[But she's also giving you a what, are you stupid? look because she just showed you it.]

[knaveofthewind]

[Sonic hasn't really learned all of them by name yet, except for the ones he owns, so he's... trying to learn now.]

... Makes sense.

[Video]

[owmyheadhurts]

You seem to have more.

[It's a surprisingly innocent observation, lacking malice of any kind. She's just... wondering why anyone would want more of these things around. If they were like theEND, well, she'd understand, but her experience with pokémon first hand is either wild ones attacking, or the pink blob currently staring up adoringly at her.]

Are you collecting them or something?

[Video]

[knaveofthewind]

Collecting them...?

[He'll cross his arms and think this over. This isn't... too different from raising Chao, except there's a lot more too it and they can't race, but for the most part - except for the crazy microwave that was attacking him - he just... liked most of them.]

... Nah, it's more like we just clicked.

[Video]

[owmyheadhurts]

Maybe yours are just better than mine.

[She seems sullen about that, though it's hard to pinpoint why. Especially considering Nirvash hasn't stopped staring up at her with surprising single-minded adoration. It kinda never stops looking at her like that, to be honest.]

[knaveofthewind]

Hey, hey-- He looks really happy to be with you.

And is he the only one you have?

[Video]

[owmyheadhurts]

He was there when I arrived.

[Anemone pokes Nirvash right between the eyes, scowling a bit. Nirvash doesn't even blink.]

I don't see why I should get another one.

[Video]

[knaveofthewind]

So you can have different ones, obviously! I only started with that guy over there after all.

[... and at that, the Skarmory in question promptly walks away.]

[Video]

[owmyheadhurts]

Are they useful?

[Nirvash plops his head into Anemone's lap with a soft, loving poooooke, getting ready to doze off again. Anemone twitches.]

[Video]

[knaveofthewind]

Definitely!
