She wasn't surprised by the strange and unusual. Carol usually just went with it after her time in the universe, but maybe it was the fact it as mixed with an Earth-like setting that threw her off. Or she was just getting so used to the mundane (could you even call it mundane?) existence in Starklandia, that she wasn't quite ready for it.
Or maybe it was because they looked like snakes and she really didn't like snakes.
She wrinkled her nose a little as the poor creature was taken down, but probably wasn't ass put off by it as some others might be. It reminded her of those battle worlds where people bet on these things. At least they didn't look like they were literally killing each other.
The bartender looked confused before turning to stare at the screen. "You mean the Pokemon battle? it's just the seasonal champs. You know, that time of year and all." Carol frowned.
"Okay, just work with us- pretend we didn't know what pokemon were and explain." She took a sip of her drink and winced at how sweet it was. But at least it was strong. She drank as she listened to the man explain.
"Uh..sure. Basically, two teams or individuals train up their pokemon for a time then they battle them with other people's pokemon. In a championship game like this, the winner gets a prize. And people bet on 'em. That's my favorite part." He grinned and turned back to the TV. "Looks like the Pikachu's having a good go at it."
She watched the little yellow creature dancing around as she drank and smirked. "He'd be a good bouncer, you think?" She was addressing the question to Peter, already getting an idea.
