[[Today is a fairly pleasant day in Violet City, so Page has taken advantage of the good weather to head outside and train her Pokemon a little. She's found, however, that over the past few weeks she's developed a few questions that she can't seem to find good answers for, so she's decided to....well, ask the 'feed', as it were. It took her a little while to work up the courage and to remind herself that she's not a wanted criminal here, but even so, it's....well. Slightly uncomfortable, but if this is how people communicate in this place, she'd better get used to it.

She's standing in an area on the outskirts of the city, the rustic buildings of Violet City in the background. The camera is surprisingly steady, obviously being held by one of her larger Pokemon.]]

I was wondering if any of you would be able to help me with my query.

[[When she speaks, her eyes find the camera, but once she's finished she immediately looks to the side, obviously not that comfortable with the whole experience. She's used to giving speeches; rather good speeches! But she's also used to have a tangible audience, so the fact that all she has to focus on is...well, her Gear, is bemusing her somewhat. But she'll get used to it. She's gotten used to worse.]]

Do any of you have experience with raising one of these?

[[Almost on cue, an Eevee scampers up her body and sits on her shoulder, staring into the camera with serious eyes matching those of his trainer.]]

I've done a bit of research and found that he can evolve into one of seven different things; which did you choose? What was the reason? Was it worth it, or do you regret your choice? I've heard evolution is irreversible, so I want to make sure my decision is the right one.

[[Another slightly awkward look to the side, before she faces the camera once more and nods her head slightly.]]

I appreciate your time. Thank you.

[[With a look to the Pokemon holding the camera, the feed is cut.]]

Yeah. He doesn't talk often, but when he does. God, he's a sassy thing.

...and the voice just....materializes in your head?

[[It's hard to comprehend, really.]]

You don't find it odd?

It's a little fucking weird the first time, yeah. But then after that it's pretty easy to just get used to.

I'd chalk it up to it feeling like a thought in your head that's not your own, but that's a little fucking creepy.

....that does seem slightly bizarre.

[[Nevertheless, she is so catching a Psychic-type. For science, and all that.]]

But you said they can actually talk to you? As in, they can have proper conversations, as we do?

That must be incredibly useful. I'd love to be able to talk to my Pokemon. Properly, at least.

Yeah. We have "conversations" here and there. He's just as articulate as anyone I know. It makes it a fuck ton easier to know when my other party members need something.

Is that true?

[[Let her just look at her Eevee, who promptly looks back. Rather knowingly, almost.]]

I'll definitely have to get a Psychic Pokemon, then. I've always thought that Pokemon seemed far more intelligent than they let on; the chance to talk to mine isn't something I can pass up.

[[....]]

Thank you for the information, by the way. It's....much appreciated.

It's not like I can interpret every bark, yip, and mewl.

But yeah, sure. Anytime, I guess.
