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.

[ 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...

[starspangledavenger]

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.
