[The feed clicks on and Chloe gives a thumbs up as greeting.]

Sup. So, uh- how's the weather been lately? Normal? Any freak storms? Animals acting weird? anyyy... tornados? Asking for a friend, she likes chasing storms.

[Yeah, that's totally believable. She's not asking because she's paranoid that the giant tornado from Arcadia Bay might have followed her here to exact it's revenge on her for, y'know, just existing. She can't help but think she got off easy, that it's going to realize she's in fact still alive, and just...

Ended up in the Pokemon world? Somehow? It's an easier thing for her to accept than it is for most people, considering the alternative was staring directly into that swirling vortex of doom. All things considered it could be worse. But she's waiting for the other shoe to drop.]

Also, how the hell am I supposed to get this loser from eating everything in sight?

[As she speaks, she points the camera at her starter, Munchlax, who's sitting on the ground chowing down on all the nuts and berries Chloe half-heartedly scrounged around for him. It won't leave her alone, so she feels obligated to take care of it.]

You know that friend who always says they aren't hungry but then asks if you're gonna finish your fries? He's that friend but on steroids. I don't share my fries with anybody.

[She sounds so exasperated as she points the camera back at herself.]

I named him Munchies, which didn't offend him as much as I wanted it to. Actually, I don't think he gives a shit.

How do you chase a storm?

[Hello, blue haired lady. You're talking about something Sasha's never heard of. One always runs away from a storm. No one ever goes after it.]

If you need more berries, I have a bunch. I grow them, but I always have extras that my Pokemon don't like.

[Also, Sasha is totally that friend who announces she's hungry and eats her fries and still asks if you're gonna finish yours. She understands Munchies' pain.]

[hellablue]

By being a little stupid and having a set of big balls? I dunno.

[If you expected a serious answer, you've come to the wrong place.]

If he scarfs down the last of his squirrel food too fast I probably will need more. I think his stomach is an actual black hole.

[Munchlax lets out a burp at that and Chloe rolls her eyes. Out of all the potential Pokemon she could've gotten...]

You could put him back in his Pokeball and never take him out again.

Or pawn him off on some little kid.

[hellablue]

yea then be left with nothing to defend my ass in a world where everything kicks ur ass
great idea genius

Slow down there drama queen.

It's not like Pokemon are going to attack you just to hurt you. You can always run away.

Or learn to deal with your food processor and quite whining about it~

[Here's Gaige casually lounging on a big metal pokemon of some sort while she appears to be tinkering with her robot arm.]

I find the best way to feed an unstoppable eating machine, is to give them something to distract them. A hobby like surfing the web for hours and forgetting to eat, or crushing your enemies in battle. At least of you do that you'll get money to buy more food.

[Video]

[hellablue]

[Welp. That's something you don't see every day. That is. Definitely a giant metal beast of a Pokemon. She only kept track vaguely of the original, so this one is a mystery to her.]

I could get behind that second one, now that you mention it.

[Crushing your enemies and making money? Sign her up. Honestly, she's choosing to dive head first into this. She can't go back home, there's nothing left to go back to except for deadness.

Being dead isn't fun, even if she really, really misses Max. Life isn't just strange, it's hard too......]

So, am I supposed to ignore the fact you're chilling on a big sentient hunk of metal? Is that against Poke-etiquette?

Re: [Video]

[2hellwiththe1stlaw]

Pfft hell no she loves it! Don't you boo?

[Tilting the Camera so Max can get a better look at Metagross who sort of smiles with it's eyes.]

This is Fefe, my first pokemon and my strongest! This girl's seen me through the last few months and...while she's still maybe not as super effective as my robot back home, Fefe here is such a badass!

[And apparently enjoys being used as a lounge.]

Gotta watch out who you challenge around here though. If they say they're from Team Rocket you have total permission to just go in swinging. They steal pokemon and are total jerks about it. I just had to whup ass on some last week when they thought I was just some sweet harmless noob.

[charcoalfeather]

Storms? Well, there was a big storm a couple months ago, there were really hot days and rain storms, but that was all because of the legendary Pokemon.

[Boy oh boy did it make for some hot days. Not enough ice cream for it.]

I... don't think I've ever seen a tornado though...

[video]

[hellablue]

[Hoo. Thank goodness. If there's been no sign of a tornado, she's good. Right? Unless the universe decides to fuck with her in a different way. She's seen final destination, okay. It could happen.]

Sweet! I mean- damn, sucks for my friend, right?

[She forgot she'd used that as a cover for a sec. Whoops.]

So what were you saying about legendary Pokemon?

[video]

[charcoalfeather]

Uhh, alright?

[She honestly has no idea, so you're probably good, Chloe.]

I was just saying that there was some legendary Pokemon causing a lot of weather problems, but that was a few months ago. Eventually, we all fixed it, but first we had to deal with a fire on the mountain, and looking for a way to summon these legendary birds.

[video]

[captainash]

I... don't think we've had any tornodos since the Sharpedonado, but you'll get freak weather and weird animal behavior at least twice a year, guaranteed.

[Isn't that great?]

With a Munchlax, your grocery bills are already done for. It'll get worse when he evolves, too.

[video]

[hellablue]

Sharpedonado? Are you for serious?

[She sees what they did there. She's not impressed.

Okay it's a little funny, she'll give 'em that.]

Good to know, though. Shit. Can I get a do-over? Wake up with something different?

[Like, he's cute and all. More cute than she'll actually admit, but damn boy. She can't forage for berries all day every day.]

[video]

[captainash]

Completely serious. The coastal regions had to deal with flying angry sharks, it was a mess.

[Much like any other tornado, really.]

No do-overs, but you can can others and trade that one away. Or dump it in a forest, but that's cruel and potentially illegal.

[Video]

[thenightsky]

Good luck with that. Getting him to not eat everything, I mean.

[He knows this pain, Chloe.

In fact, said cause of his pain is behind him, rumbling in greeting as she waves a big paw.]

My advice? Get a job at a restaurant. Most of the ones I've worked at give me a discount on food. It made feeding Bean a lot easier.

[Video]

[hellablue]

Wait, wait, wait. That's what my guy is gonna turn into?

[It's. So large. How is she ever going to feed that thing?]

I'm not high enough for this.

[Video]

[thenightsky]

[That gets a laugh out of Noctis as he nods.]

Yep. This is Bean, my Snorlax.

[Another rumble as Bean leans in now so she can see the 'gear better which, in turn, causes Noctis to have to duck out of the way.]

Trust me when I say you're going to want to collect a lot of money and stock pile a lot of food!

[Video]

[agent3]

Ah! Y'got blue hair!

[That sure is a small teenage girl with her own sky-blue pigtails looking at you with wide, impressed eyes. She hasn't seen a whole lot of people with hair colors that she'd consider normal, so this is definitely a thing of importance.]

Mm, y'don't got fries, though...y'got berries!

[Video]

[hellablue]

Do I? I never even noticed!

[The sarcasm game is strong with this one.]

I know, it was... metaphoric. Or something like that.

[Video]

[bent_the_world]

Oh yeah, some of them will just eat anything. I have a pair of pikas who never stop eating.

I once saw a Muk eat a pair of dirty underwear on a beach.

[Video]

[hellablue]

Mmm, yum. I mean, if I were gonna eat dirty underwear, I'd go to the beach too. Dinner and a view, right?

[Video]

[borschtkot]

[ Yuri is staring with a look of confused disdain at the little thing... eating. So much... But.. also, it could be a potentially useful... ]

They just gave that to you? Wow, that seems.. really.. ... Great. Anyway, no storms I guess. You missed them, that was all last month with the freaky weather apparently.

[ Potya looked disgusted at the Munchlax, her ears back. This Glameow made sure to keep her figure, if the Everstone around her neck was any indication of how far she'd go. ]

[Video]

[hellablue]

Yeah, it's somethin' else alright.

[Chloe shrugs as she glances over to Munchies, really not looking forward to when he finishes his lunch. He's gonna be hungry again soon after and she'll be SOL.]

Your cat looks like it's got something to say.

[video]

[rediscover]

Definitely no tornadoes! Chasing storms sounds scary, but fun-scary, y'know?

[The redhead giggles at the Pokémon going to town on all that food.]

I think Munchies is cute! Have you figured out what kind of Pokémon he is, yet?

[video]

[hellablue]

[Anna, you are talking to the person who stared straight into a giant ass tornado. 'fun-scary' is...

Probably the right word to use, yeah. Chloe might have bad associations with it but she can still admit that it was a pretty cool thing on it's own.]

Yeah, we'll go with that one.

[Chloe gives a shrug at the question.]

I guess he's a Munchlax, or something? And his type is normal, which I feel like is a polite way of saying he's basic as fuck.
