As I see it is that time again in Johto, I would like to make a general "Welcome to the magical world of Pokemon" statement to all new comers. I'm Rose, and if I have not personally introduced myself yet, my apologies.

I would just like to offer my knowledge to you all, especially those of you who are breeders. I'm no expert, but I have gathered many notes over my time here and I always want to share this knowledge.

For those of you with no interest in that, I do still want to talk to you! About what, you ask? Just you.

Hi, how are you? Have we met before? How has your day been going? Or your stay in Johto? It may seem silly to ask this of complete strangers, but I'm genuinely interested.

[[The girl on the screen taps her lips in thought with the end of the pencil in hand, then shakes her head and ends the feed.]]

If you don't mind my asking, where might you be currently?
It's been a little while since we've heard a location update from you, and while I try not to be nosy I do like knowing where you are.

Some believe obtaining them all and then defeating the Elite Four will send you back home, but there's no evidence to support this claim. Otherwise, it is simply something to do whilst you're here.

A challenge of sorts, then? How... intreguing. {And then there's an Eevee squishing itself into the camera view beside Haou. He wants to say hello! Except Haou just sort of nudges him out of the picture, looking vaguely annoyed.}

If nothing else. [[Oh, hello little Eevee. She waves to the little guy.]] It's well worth it. Along with the challenge comes earnings for winning said badges, such as money or technical machines.

Hm. {He thinks about this. He doesn't really give a crap about money, but he's always up for a challenge.}
I think I might attempt it. {Eevee pushes his way up again, and Haou pushes him down again. This happens a few more times before Haou just gives up and lets the thing snuggle into his shoulder.}

What is a 'technical machine'?

[[Oh gosh what a cutie. An Espeon has taken notice and is now peeking into the corner of the screen. Hello there little one! Your trainer seems new, so you must be too.]]

Technical machines are capable of teaching Pokemon new attacks. Not all machines can be used on all Pokemon - for example fire types cannot typically learn water type attacks - but some attacks can't be learned by the Pokemon simply be leveling up.

{He nods. That makes sense.} Pokemon can learn many moves, then?

Yes. An impressive amount in some cases.

I see. I saw the database, but there was no such information there. Just that this Pokemon is called an Eevee, and that it now belongs to me. {Eevee nuzzles his face, but by this point Haou has stopped caring.}

Well if you ask me, Eevee is one of the better Pokemon to start with. [[You are talking to someone who likes to believe she is an Eevee master.]]

Most Pokemon, as you may or may not have learned by now, evolve as they grow more powerful. Many of them are straight evolutions. Charmander evolves into Charmeleon, and then into Charizard for example. Some have one deviating evolution. Kirlia will evolve into Gardevoir, but if you expose it to a Dawn Stone, it will evolve into Gallade instead.

Eevee, however, is unique in that it has seven different evolutions you are able to choose from.

Really? {So he got lucky. This is quite pleasing. He reaches up and scratches behind the Eevee's ears. Perhaps he could grow fond of it...
Eevee happily nuzzles the hand.}

Your name is Rose, yes?

Really. Each utilizing a different method to evolve and pertaining to a different type. And yes, it is Rose. It's a pleasure.

I am... {He was going to say 'the Supreme King', but he's not exactly in his own kingdom right now. Should probably keep that under his hat for the time being.} ...Haou.

It's wonderful to meet you Haou. [[She at least wouldn't be surprised? She's met a few kings while here.]]

Likewise. {He's just a private kind of guy :/ }

[[Hey that's okay too! She won't push.]] Is there anything else I can assist you with?

Not at the moment, thank you. I will be sure to contact you if I am in further need of assistance.

Quite welcome, and wonderful. I will be glad to help.
