✸ 2nd Day: Ditto =/= Fighter

[lapinfrost]

[ When the feed opens, the first thing anyone would notice is the hooded boy staring intently at the screen. (And that said hood appears to have bunny ear-like attachments.) While he has a poker face on, something about him looks rather tired, to say the least. He only stays quiet for a moment before speaking. ]

Question: How hard is for people to get to Cherrygrove City? My Ditto and I had...trouble along the way, so I was curious.

[ Translation: Me and my Ditto ended up running away from everything. Said running got us lost so it took much longer than three days to get here. What do I do about this? ]

...Also, is something happening outside? A festival maybe?

It usually depends on the weather and your starter's beginning techniques against the wild Pokemon.

[His former Chinchou (now Lanturn) used to Bubble'd the hell out of those Pokemon.]

And no idea, just that a lot of Pokemon seems to have popped up!

[lapinfrost]

Makes sense. Guess it can't be helped then.

[ So, in other words he was reeeeally unlucky. Good to know. ]

...A Pokémon festival maybe?

[babel_hacker]

Must be tough having Ditto as a starter.

[Since it only knows Transform, and that's dependant on the opponent.]

Maybe? It might be for Valentine's.

[lapinfrost]

It's not exactly a fighter like the demons I can summon back home.

[ He misses them already. ]

Oh, it's Valentine's today?

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

Nope. Valentine's the day after, but everyone's getting ready for the day.

[ Her tone is sultry and casual but she's not going to be showing her face. Of course, the event also has another affect on Lust: She's actually nice. ]

It's nothing that should be too difficult. Most pokémon are equipped during the journey, but there are some exceptions. How much trouble did you have?

[lapinfrost]

[ Might as well switch to voice then. ]

Weather aside, my Pokémon can't normally fight unless it takes the time to transform into the opponent.

[licentious]

Have you ever thought about transforming your pokemon beforehand?

voice;

[lapinfrost]

Like a surprise attack?

voice;

[licentious]

Of sorts. It also protects and prepares you for battle.

[subtlecoruscate]

What do you define as "trouble"?

[Video]

[lapinfrost]

Being a sitting duck if you can't run away in time?

[Video]

[subtlecoruscate]

Have you considered trying Repels?

[Video]

[lapinfrost]

[ Yeah, he's going to be tilting his head inquisitively at you now. Like he's waiting for some tutorial to happen. ]

[Video]

[subtlecoruscate]

It keeps wild Pokemon away.

[Pulling one out of her bag]

[pinnedbangs]

I'm still trying to get to Cherrygrove. [Not because his pokemon is weak, he's just in pain.]

[video]

[lapinfrost]

Good luck? Hopefully it won't be much longer. Or take longer than a week.

[video]

[pinnedbangs]

I hope so too. What's a Ditto?

[video]

[lapinfrost]

[ Picking up something from off-camera and setting a pink blob with a smiley face next to the screen. ]

This is a Ditto.

[video]

[pinnedbangs]

[Well. Once upon a time he thought all pokemon just looked like animals. Not anymore.]

... What does it do?

[ video ]

[ladderpuns]

Uh, I don't think it's that hard in general? I mean, it's kind of long for a first trip, and it's not a fun journey when the weather's acting up, but it's really not that bad.

[ video ]

[lapinfrost]

Hmm. Thanks for the input. I guess my luck just ran out.

[ Maybe he used it all during the four days before he somehow ended up in Johto. ]

[ video ]

[ladderpuns]

Hey, at least you had some luck to begin with. Some people don't even get that.

[ video ]

[lapinfrost]

I guess so. But I think it's safe to say most of us are pretty unlucky.

[ video ]

[ladderpuns]

At least it's not that bad here....?

...Well, mostly, anyway.
