Day 15 - Video

[seasaltkeys]

[Roxas appears on the video screen, Sparky on his shoulder. He's in a pokemon center, that much is clear, and he looks a little worse for the wear, but that's just because he hasn't had the chance to clean himself up yet]

I made it to Azalea. [pause] I needed to think about stuff, that's why I left Violet. [No more on that subject]

Uh..I caught another pokemon, which gives me six. The guidebook says that's all I can carry so what happens any other pokemon I capture? Am I not allowed to catch anymore or do they go somewhere? 

[he trails off, looking around, until another thought comes to him]

There's a lot of slowpoke at the Slowpoke Well that don't have their tails. They looked really sad. What happened?

[There's some conversation in the back, and Roxas sets down the gear. The angle's sort of distorted but you can sort of see that Roxas has a plate of food, and that Sparky's beside him with food also]

You can have more than one Pokemon partner? [someone is used to only having one partner]

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah. The book you can have six with you at one time.

[THE BOOK SHE HASN'T READ sob]

How does that work? Aren't you only given one when you get here? I only have one.

When you are carrying six Pokémon, any additional ones that you capture are sent to your personal computer, I believe.

[voice]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Personal computer? Is that like the ones in the pokemon center?

[voice]

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

Precisely.

[checkingmyemail.livejournal.com]

They probably go into a box or some kind of storage unit.

At least, that's what happened in the games.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what I heard. You can get at it with a computer.

What do you mean by game?

[checkingmyemail.livejournal.com]

In my world, this world was a video game. I played it when I was younger.

They go to the PC. I don't know how it happens, but I heard you can swap them out if you want.

I guess I'll have to take a look when I get to seven pokemon. But it's useful to have.

[Tavros has stopped for a bite to eat too, sitting at the base of a tree. His Tauros is off grazing in the background.] Huh... We can only have, uhh, six at a time? I haven't, umm, gotten all the way through these books yet.

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, only six. At least, that's what the book says. I don't know what happens when you reach seven, other than they get stored away.

Roxas! [Oh look! Have a really relieved looking Aerith because it's been a while since she last saw him.] It's so good to see you. I was worried you'd disappeared.

[Roxas nods, and sort of looks away, embarrassed]

I just decided to keep going. I'm still here.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Their tails? The poor dears!

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I don't know what happened. It's like they were cut off or something.

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm going to look into both of them. I think I'll be asking around town about the slowpoke. I think I remember someone saying something about selling the tails.

[video]

[honor-first.livejournal.com]

I've never been to Azalea, but I've heard about those Pokemon you mentioned.

[Cutting off the tails of obese pink water bears. That's... kinda gross, if you ask Zack.]

Any word on that from the locals?

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

I haven't had a chance to ask yet. I just got into town.

[video]

[useddragonrush.livejournal.com]

That's sick. Who'd do something like that?

What did you catch?

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure. I'm gonna ask around.

A Spearow.

[justicereigns]

They don't have a tail?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

No. They don't. It's like they were cut off or something.
