In The Tardis

Is it normal for these creatures to just have to fend for themselves until someone traps 'em even when they're clearly small enough for just about anything to snap up for dinner? Because this little one seemed to be all out on its lonesome and when I knelt down to try and ask if it was lost it just jumped up and started...I mean, I'd call it kissing, but I'm not sure it has the same association for them



At least it didn't start eating me in the not-fun way, so I can't complain.

It took almost a week, but I finally caught a Pokémon.

Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed? I thought it was going to be more fun. I thought there would be more of them, but I think I only saw three or four total all week. Anyone else experience something like that?

So I've visited the salon a few times.

The museum multiple times.

Now all that's missing is a visit to a really good deli.

Anything else I should do while we're here?

Who: Three Crows (Inej, Kaz, Nina)
What: casing the museum
Where: Pokemon Portal
When: During the Pokemon plot
Warnings: TBD
Status: In progress - Closed

( The deal is the deal )

This place is very strange. Between the medbay doing a medical scan without any doctor present, to just how large this place feels to how tiny it is on the outside, and the strange little creatures outside.

I seem to have already attracted the attention of one of the creatures. It seems to like me, and doesn't want to leave my side.

I also feel at least three familiar presences, but the Force isn't as strong here. Though perhaps I am bit disoriented.

Since I am apparently going to be here for awhile, I should introduce myself. I'm Rey Skywalker.

I caught a cute green guy with a green bulb on his back! He keeps saying Bulbasaur and responded when I called him Bobby. He's got a name!

I am not a Pokemon person.

I will never be a Pokemon person.

And yet I find myself...with a Pokemon. It won't go away.

[the slightly-wobbly video feed opens on a little black-and-blue bird on one side of a chess board, trying to grab a black pawn with its tiny beak and failing. A tiny laugh is heard from off screen]

Should I build you something so you can actually play? You seem clever enough I could teach you.

[the bird looks up from the chess piece, hopping a bit as it chirps]Rook! Rookidee!

...I'll uh. Take that as a yes? [Amanda laughs, louder this time] At least I don't think you'll be a sore loser as long as I give you some of those berries as a participation prize.

Public service announcement that Dean Winchester is the worst brother ever, after catching a moose shaped Pokémon and then giving it to me because he thinks he’s hilarious.

[…]

Guess, it could’ve been worse. Could’ve been Mr Mime. Honestly, dude, you might be slipping.

[the video feed wobbles a bit, showing at first an expanse of grass and flowers then it seems like the device must have dropped as all that can be seen is a blackish-brown nothing and there's some muffled noises like whoever had been holding it is struggling with something. Finally it's lifted again and after a few more shaky moments levels out to show Simon sitting cross-legged in the grass, a basket with a few flowers and plants set at his side, in slightly-dirt covered slacks and button up shirt…and an Oddish standing on his leg and seemingly attempting to clamber up his free arm]

Well, I'd had no intention of deliberately acquiring one of these creatures, while I was out examining the local flora, I accidentally mistook one of them for a less-animate plant and for whatever reason it has now decided to follow me about. I'm not sure if it's trying to punish me for so rudely grabbing its head or actually decided that was a proper way to start an acquaintance.

Does anyone else have reservations about fighting ten year olds, even if it's with Pokemon? Especially since the loser is supposed to give away money? I feel like I'm taking some kid's lunch money.

It doesn't help that it's also considered the biggest insult if you turn down a Pokemon battle. Though I question what their idea of "eye contact" is. My back has been turned, and then some kid is challenging me to a battle.

The Riolu that decided that it liked my aura and wanted to come along with me really seems to like battling, too, so it's hard to say no.

Especially to that cute face.

I GOT MY VERY FIRST BADGE
WE SQUASHED THE BUGS
LOOK AT THE BUG BADGE
it kind of looks like a scarab

[ attached is a crude selfie of her with the bug badge and her lil pokemon team in the bg. ]

Welp, I made a new friend. All he seems to be able to say is Axew. I was exploring Coumarie City and having a ~Spa Day~ when this little guy started tailing me. Couldn't shake him and now he doesn't seem to want to leave. He hasn't left my side since he found me.

They say gotta catch 'em all but I can't. This little guy has ruined me for all other Pokémon.

I visited Snowbelle City, for skiing and skating. It was fun, kind of like being back in a Minnesota winter.

Afterwards, I explored the woods nearby and I encountered one of the creatures. I'm not sure if caught is the right word. I was very quiet, let it come to me. We played and now it wants to stick with me. So adorable!

After visting the Parfum Palace, the other day, I decided to check out a place called the Pokemon Daycare. Apparently, it's a place where trainers can leave their Pokemon to be raised for a bit. And sometimes if they leave more than one, they can breed and leave behind an egg?

The really nice lady gave me one, and told me that I should try walking with it and see what hatches.

Well, it hatched, and it's so stinking cute. I've been told it's a Togepi.

I think I'm definitely going to keep it. It's so cute and happy.

Also, it apparently imprints on the first person it sees, so its thinks I'm its mom, and it would be mean to just abandon it.

Anyway, I took a little video of it so everyone else could be mesmerized by the cuteness.

I've investigated the recent disappearances. In addition to T'Challa and Shuri, going through the records in the TARDIS' console, there have been five other disappearances, Kate Bishop, Logan Echolls, Veronica Mars, Mel Medara, and Jinn.

There doesn't really appear to be a reason why they were sent home, and judging from the data we were able to pull, they were sent back to their home universes. It would also seem that when someone is sent home, all of their belongings vanish, and their rooms are cleared out. Out of these seven, Shuri and T'Challa were here the longest, the others weren't here very long.

So, apparently, we can get home, there just doesn't seem to be any control over how and when we get home. Like being pulled here, it appears to be done at random by the TARDIS herself.

I know Martha and myself will be looking into this further, but Martha's the TARDIS expert, and this is still something that she's never experienced.

For the time being, we'll keep looking into this, and if there are any more disappearances, maybe we can try and pick up on a pattern or something. But so far, it appears to be at random.

I'll try and answer any questions as best as I can, but Martha probably has better answers than I do.

In the meantime, I hope everyone's enjoying Kalos. If anyone wants someone to go exploring with, I'm here.

Aren't these things supposed to be cute and nice? These fuckin' grumpy-looking birds were taunting this little guy.

[ ooc note: pretend the gif is a realistic short video. ]

This cave is incredibly difficult to navigate. I appear to have gotten myself quite turned around.

I took Morgan to the Lumiose Museum in the city this morning. She didn’t have a lot of patience for the audio guide, but she liked a few of the paintings. Her favourite was the picture of the hedgehog. Shaymin, I think? Anyway, it’s a nice little outing, if anyones looking for something a bit more low key.

I have a question.

What are we meant to do with these creatures if we've caught one?

Huh.

Tardis, Pokemon, what’s next? A giant Stay-Puft guy?

Tag dump, nothing to see here.
