[Who knew training Pokémon was so tough? Besides that, now he had two of them to deal with...

...or so it'd seem. For the last three days, there's been a Sentret trailing him - from New Bark Town, all the way to Violet City. He hadn't exactly caught it - he didn't really want to, considering it seemed pretty young to be out on its own and certainly it must have a family or something - and he's beginning to wonder if feeding the poor thing the first time he saw it was a Bad Idea.

He's sitting inside the Pokécenter for the moment; Doctor's outside with the Sentret, and with this peace and quiet he can finally settle down to talk to others for a while.]

I haven't been here too long [a little over a week, and that was pushing it; he'd only gotten to Violet that morning after trucking it as hard as he could] so I, um, have a question... Is it normal for a wild Pokémon to follow you if you feed it? Like a stray dog?

And if so, is it better to catch it or to hope it'll just go home?

That's just how it is.

[milquetoasthero]

I guess there's really no helping it, then. What happens to your Pokémon if you leave?

[Video]

[subtlecoruscate]

Some go to the breeding center or to someone else. Others just seem to disappear with their trainer.

[Video]

[milquetoasthero]

How sad... It must be hard on the Pokémon, to be separated from their trainer like that.

[Video]

[subtlecoruscate]

[...] I guess it would be.

[Video]

[milquetoasthero]

[...] You don't know?

[Video] Someone she didn't like left her a Pokemon...and she's just left it in the PC ORZ

[subtlecoruscate]

I just hadn't really thought about it like that.

[Video] orz Rima...

[milquetoasthero]

Oh, I see. Do you come from a place where Pokémon would be considered, um... Monsters?

[Video]

[su6tlecoruscate]

[Headshake] It was famous where I came from. I just didn't really get to know it.

[Video]

[milquetoasthero]

...It was famous?

[Video]

[subtlecoruscate]

It was a game. And a TV show.

[Which sounds weird, she knows...]

[Video]

[milquetoasthero]

[..Gggame. TV?]

I... see. It isn't a thing in my world, so I was pretty confused when I first arrived.

[Video]

[subtlecoruscate]

It doesn't make much of a difference once you start the journey anyway.

[Video]

[milquetoasthero]

I guess not. Is it hard travelling around? [Not that he's not used to travelling, but.]

[Video]

[subtlecoruscate]

Not "hard", just takes some time to get use to.

And the random Pokemon jumping out at you can get tiresome after a while.

[Video]

[milquetoasthero]

[Oh, he's noticed.]

Well, thank you for all the information. Um... I hope we can meet face-to-face someday. It feels a little weird to just know each other from these little screens doesn't it?

[Video]

[subtlecoruscate]

I'm use to it. But we'll probably run into each other at some point anyway.

[Video]

[milquetoasthero]

I guess that depends where we are.

[Video]

[subtlecoruscate]

And how long we stay.

[Video]

[milquetoasthero]

I wouldn't mind staying for a while longer, if I could meet a lot of people here.

[Video]

[subtlecoruscate]

I guess that's one way to look at it.

[Video]

[milquetoasthero]

How do you look at it?

[Video]

[su6tlecoruscate]

[Pause] There's something I needed to do back home.

[Video]

[milquetoasthero]

I daresay that's the same for a lot of people here.

[Video]

[subtlecoruscate]

True.
