01 | video (action for new bark town)

[ When the video feed clicks on, Namsoon looks rather ruffled up: his clothes are all askew, and there are signs of a bruise beginning to purple on his right cheek and a cut along one of his arms. There's a Mienfoo sitting on his lap, looking very excited!! to be out and about; it can barely seem to sit still. ]

I have a question. The Pokémon we’re partnered with... they aren’t supposed to attack you, right? [ there’s a pause, and then a sigh -- ] I don’t think she meant to, but she was very -- enthusiastic, when I let her out of the ball... They’re pretty strong, aren’t they? Even though they’re so small.

[ For a few moments, he seems to zone out, staring blankly and not saying anything. Rather abruptly, though, he snaps out of it after half a minute or so: ] I was wondering, though... do they really enjoy fighting? And do we have to battle them? It just seems kind of...

[ He trails off, changing subjects abruptly: ] I think I need a band-aid.

Some like to fight, some don't, depends on their personal likes or dislikes. My Hoppip hates fighting, but my Riolu loves it. I'm sure you can battle just for self defense, I see no reason you have to do it if you don't want'a.

I don't know about attacking people, maybe? But I'd take a swing at it being an accident.

I see... that's good to know, thanks. [ ... ] What do people do if they don't battle, though?

[ the Mienfoo sitting in his lap looks up and makes an indignant noise -- of course it was an accident, gosh. ] ... That's what I thought, too. But I just wanted to make sure.

I'd guess you can run? The wild Pokemon can attack, so sometimes you might not be able to avoid it, but you can try.

... Will that happen often? Wild ones attacking, I mean.

[ he can't mentally shake off the comparison to dogfighting -- but he supposes it's different if it's self-defense. ]

Hasn't happened much to me, but a handful of times now. Sometimes my Riolu was the one to engage battle with wild Pokemon, so I'm not sure if those would have attacked regardless.

I think that's going to be a problem for this one, too. She's very -- eager. [ to put it nicely; she's practically thrumming with excitement at just the thought of it all. ]

... I just don't want her getting hurt, I guess.

If she does get hurt, you have potions in your backpack, they help heal injuries. Also, each town has a Pokecenter, it's a Pokemon hospital of sorts, so they'll help.

I've found it's hard to hold back a Pokemon who likes to tussle, just do your best to keep her from hurting herself.

[ he looks down at the Mienfoo sitting in his lap; she looks back up -- what? her? as if she could do something as silly as hurting herself!

... which, of course, just convinces him even more that she's probably going to do something like hurt herself. ]

I see... if they're that well-prepared, I guess fighting every once in a while really must be unavoidable...

I'm sure you can avoid most of them, just defend yourself when necessary.

I have another question. What happens if your Pokémon gets beaten? I only have her right now, so if she faints...

[ he could probably read the handbook for this kind of information, but he's... not the reading type, to put it in the nicest way possible. ]

To my knowing, you take them to the nearest Pokecenter or use a revive, which you'd have to buy, I got one for emergencies. Um if the wild Pokémon is still coming after you, grab your Pokémon and run?

[Steve is actually completely unsure how he'd handle that]

[ he looks a little bit apprehensive at the thought of that -- well, at least he's a good runner, but... ]

So I guess catching more Pokémon might be a good idea after all...

Probably yes. Well, they're good company to have around too, so it's not a bad thing to have a couple more around.

Do people usually catch a lot of them? For some reason, I kinda remember something about "catching them all"... or something like that.
