002. [Video / Action for Route 35/Goldenrod City
[VIDEO]
What sort of world is this?!
[...And a "hello" and a "hope everyone's having a good day" to you too, buddy. It seems that Jinnai is taking the opportunity to actually go outside and do something with himself now that it's not hailing or snowing and it's an absolutely beautiful...eighteen fucking degrees outside; unfortunately, the "doing something with himself" bit seems to have hit a snag of some sort today, and he's clearly not going to be content until everyone knows about it.
From the look of it, though, he's on a route...somewhere, and he's turning a Pokéball in the hand that's not holding the device, shifting his fingers a little around the contours of it while he speaks.]
Some of these...Pokémon will do anything in their power to get away from you while you're trying to capture them, and then you throw one of these at them – [and he tips his head in the direction of the ball] – and they'll suddenly obey your every whim. Is it really that easy?
[From the look of it he has no actual idea what to think of that, outside of maybe "that sure is a thing," but! Moving on...]
More importantly, it seems that whoever created these things decided to distribute them to everyone...that was either the most ignorant or the least ambitious move they could have made, I'm not sure which! ...Assuming, that is, that the alliances formed that way are genuine at all!
Do things like that actually last here? If they're forced captures, I'd assume they wouldn't, because everyone knows relationships like that are pointless unless you plan on reinforcing them with something else...or is there something else here that I'm not seeing here?
[...Well...okay then.]
[ACTION]
[That said, if you're willing to be outside on this lovely day in February (okay no it's still eighteen fucking degrees, so you're probably either going stir-crazy or you have a wicked thick coat) you're more than welcome to run into him; he's spending a good amount of time at the entrance to Route 35 today, on the northern side of town, and while he most definitely minds the cold, he seems to be supervising his Skorupi, Wakame, while she shuffles through the tall grass in search of...something. God only knows what they're looking for out here, but between the two of them they are very determinedly looking for something.
And despite the fact that he was on the network questioning the legitimacy of Pokéball-induced friendship earlier, it seems that Jinnai isn't without at least one new capture of his own today – at least, not if the massive damn dragonfly that's currently latched on to the back of his blazer is any indication. Once in a while it flutters a bit and shifts upwards, popping its head up over his shoulder and making noises in his general direction; he doesn't seem to mind it, and rather he just kind of...says something back, though exactly what he's telling it is a bit hard to pick up.
Either way, he's currently insanely underdressed for the weather but he's going to deal with it like he's making it into some sort of stupid endurance test, he's got a school uniform decked out in medals on the left side, and he's apparently trying to get a hang of the training thing or...something.
It's not the best of ways to pass the time, but it's actually preferable to the Rocket training right now, so at least there's that.]

[...And as much as that might have been sarcasm from some people, he actually is not fucking with you, from the sound of it. Hello, you; A+ match, would break Project L.U.C.Y. with again.]
In the world I was in last, there are items that can ensure absolute obedience to the wielder - but those are unique for understandable reasons. I've never dealt with anything this widespread.
no subject
[In other words, pets have to be trained. Usually.]
Given the unique composition of this world, it appears that such tools are dispensed in order to provide the uninitiated with a level playing field. Not that it would do them any good against the arcane mastery of I, of Gundam Tanaka!
[...awkward pause.]
Though I am sure the same also applies to one such as yourself.
no subject
[Because the thing is you get this, though - the Pokéballs have been giving him a serious case of The Wig since he showed up.]
When it comes to building my own personal unit, I'm not interested in forcing their loyalty to me using ploys like that - it'll only benefit us if the recruitment is voluntary.
no subject
[In other words, it means more to make friends with your Pokemon and form an actual bond with them than to go “Okay, I caught you. We're good now.”]
I look forward to seeing how you progress along it.
no subject
Should you want it, you'll be the first to know once I have something to show for it!
no subject
[You know someday it is going to click with at least one of them that they are talking about radically different things, but today is apparently not that day.]
no subject
[...Hopefully before half the region is on fire! Because otherwise that's going to be hella awkward.]
I'd hope you'll keep me updated on what you're doing as well.
no subject
[...which means...]
Therefore, I will have to make an effort to keep you informed of my accomplishments. Most recently, before our first meeting, I obtained a decisive victory against the torrential downpour of one of the region's Gym Leaders and plan to challenge the next one soon in a showdown that will surely shake the very foundation of the world itself.
no subject
...
NEVER MIND, LET'S JUST...NEVER...MIND it's not important and apparently something from your own world so we're going to move right along - ...oh, cool, apparently you beat the water-type gym recently.]
Excellent - that's excellent to hear, not that I'd questioned your ability to secure such a victory!
I wish you luck on the next.

[He has no ground-types. When he gets to Vermilion, he might be in trouble. So yeah, he'll probably need some luck.]
