[Snake is just outside the south exit of Violet City. He's sitting on a nearby rock, with something pink on his lap, looking up at him with a dull gaze.]

... Hnrrnn...

[For whatever reason, Snake's a liiiiiittle irritated by the dull stare. It's unchanging, and intimidating in its own annoying way. Rubbing his temples, Snake tried to communicate with the creature again.]

Get off.

Nice pokémon, fucking Snake.

You don't seem happy to have it, though.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[Looks at him.]

Well... I keep ending up with these weird things... [Looks down at the Slowpoke.] No dangerous looking monsters. Just... cute or stupid.

[devilbatshit.livejournal.com]

Well a few of mine look dumb. All of them do, in fact.

Apart from Cerberus and Devil.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[thinks that Hiruma looks dumb sometimes, too, BUT NOT GONNA SAY IT]

Nice names.

[video]

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

... Perhaps it just needs some... intellectual stimulation?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Any ideas?

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

Read him a story, perhaps?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

I'm not even sure if he can hear me.

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

Well, that would be a good way to find out.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... I'm... not much of a story teller.

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

... Oh.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[grumbles.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Heeeeey, my friend has one of those!

_{[.... and it IS stupid.]}

[Video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Any tips on how to raise it?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

'Fraid not. Just... feed it, I guess. ... It doesn't look like it'd be too good with the fighting thing.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Hnnn...

Maybe I can give it to Otacon...

[justicereigns]

Now that takes talent.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Yeah.



I'll figure something out for it.

[justicereigns]

Maybe it also gets stronger if it evolves.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Does it get smarter?

[justicereigns]

Yes. Or... it's able to use innate intelligence more? I'm not sure which.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... [Pets it.] Hnn... Hope I can teach it to be a little stealthy.

[justicereigns]

... Stealthy... really?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Stealth's important on the battlefield. If you stick out like a sore thumb, you might as well give up.

[justicereigns]

... I'm pretty sure the pokemon know who they're fighting already, but good luck on that.

You clearly fought in different battles than I ever did.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

More for the tall grass stuff.

[justicereigns]

I think that would be more likely to avoid fights than defeat them in that case.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

The point of a stealth operation is to engage the enemy as little as possible. However, if you do get spotted, there are ways to combat the enemy without drawing more attention to yourself.

[justicereigns]

Of course.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

So that's what I'm training my Pokemon to do.

[justicereigns]

... Right.

Well.

Have fun with that.

[catbitesgirl.livejournal.com]

... My friend started with one of those. They do seem somewhat... slow. [She doesn't want to be mean, but... yeah.]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

I guess that's why it's called "slowpoke".

[catbitesgirl.livejournal.com]

Mm. [nods] ... Some of their names are rather descriptive.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Yeah... Like Magnemite.

[catbitesgirl.livejournal.com]

Magnemite... I haven't seen one yet. Magnetic? [just taking a wild stab in the dark there]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

It's a floating magnet with an eyeball.

[catbitesgirl.livejournal.com]

[That's definitely an interesting mental image right there.] I... see...
