2nd treasure [voice]

[For about a minute, the air is filled with the cries and noises of a small army of Pokémon. Singing birds, chittering rodents, with laughter and crashes mixed in every so often- uh, that sounded like Ember. Oh dear.]

...How do you know you're training too many of these things?

[His fault for catching every single Normal-type in his path, really.]

That is correct.

[ Laughing nervously. ] Surprisingly they are the same size as the others. I have since given up on trying to make sense of this world and it's 'logic'.

...I'd be sadly mistaking if I started hoping that they merely grow very fast, right? The poor things have to be horribly uncomfortable in there.

Each Pokemon is different. I have seen runts take their time and others grow rather quickly.

Although I have been doing this for over a year, so my experience may not be the average of this world.

[captainash]

But not, say, from egg-sized to horse-sized within a few hours? ...Then again, for all I know that could be how it works for certain species. Your year would certainly have taught you more about that than my ten days.

It could happen. Although I try to not let it... get to me.

[ It's clear that it does though. What kind of logic is any of that?? ]

This world has many, many strange occurrences.

Starting with our arrivals and the omnipresent music?

Not fond of "MOM" are you? [ It's meant to be a jest, but she can't ever sound as though she's making a joke in her serious tone. ] Among other things, yes.

[captainash]

I already have one, and she wouldn't lock me out of the house so brutally. Does she really treat everyone who arrives that way?

video;

[ex_cashcow493]

Yes, it is 'scripted' to be that way or so I hear. Such terms are unfamiliar to me.

[ Not that Saber knows. She never got to be with her mother, so the topic leaves her sour. ]

Perhaps it is for best that she does. Who would wish to remain there after they have arrived?

[captainash]

'Scripted'? Everyone does compare this world to a game... But it'd be nice if the option was offered to kids, at least. For some of them, this whole situation has to be scary.

[ex_cashcow493]

There is a house here that takes in children. A couple of them in fact.

Children are well protected in this place should they ask for it.

video;

[captainash]

There is? That's good to hear. Are they advertised? How can children reach them when they arrive?

video;

[ex_cashcow493]

I am afraid I do not know.

However, there are many of us who keep an eye out over the PokeGear. Should we receive a message from one who appears to be a child, there are those who keep up with them to ensure the best.

[ Saber doesn't look much older than a child herself, but the way she speaks indicates she has adult experiences backing her every word. ]

[captainash]

I should do that, too. I'm not that good with kids, but since I'm still in Cherrygrove I can at least meet up with them on the road if the weather is bad or they're scared.

[ex_cashcow493]

That would be admirable of you to do. Perhaps it will set a better example for many of the others here in Johto to do as well.

I shall leave you to that then, yes?

[captainash]

Very well. It was a pleasure speaking with you.
