[Izuku can be seen sitting near a small pond in route 32, a notebook on his lap full of notes and drawing of Pokemon. In the background, you can see, and hear, a Vulpix happily splashing around on the pond, sometimes even diving on a deeper part, while a Cutiefly accompanies in the air, looking somewhat fussy at the fire Pokemon's play.]

Um... Hey. It's Izuku here. I'm on my way to Azalea Town now, and I was wondering... Besides the ruins, are there other interesting places to visit? I just realized it how easy it is to just go from town to town, but I'd like to know this place the best I can. [There's a pause as if he's about to cut the feed before he stops.] Ah! And they don't have to be just places near me, they can be in other places too! I'll keep them in mind.

[There's a beat before his expression becomes really confused. ] What?

[pipers_son]

Rocks!

[Oh, now he's really laughing.]

As many as ya want or can carry!

[nolongeruseless]

But how do you catch Pokemon with rocks? [Please have some mercy on the poor kid, he's so confused.]

[pipers_son]

A good throwin' arm and lots of luck~.

[Hey, he's being honest!]

No Pokemon battlin' other Pokemon, just yerself~.

[nolongeruseless]

So you just throw rocks at Pokemon and hope that weakens them enough that they'll stay in the balls?

[pipers_son]

Yup!

[nolongeruseless]

But that's so dangerous!

[pipers_son]

They haven't been shut down yet!

[nolongeruseless]

How long has it been open for?

[pipers_son]

Well, as long as I've been around... So for a good few years, I would say.

[nolongeruseless]

How has nobody died? [He is very concerned, ok, everyone's just a regular human with no powers here, how do you live?]

[pipers_son]

Good luck, probably. And I figure the Pokemon themselves probably wouldn't want ta kill anyone.

I mean, most could do that at any time for whatever reason, and they must just beat us up if we do somethin' really stupid, yeah?

[nolongeruseless]

That's... That's not much better...

[pipers_son]

So does that mean ya wouldn't have any interest in goin'?

[nolongeruseless]

Not... without a bit more research.

[pipers_son]

Ha! Well, let me know if ya ever do it. If nothin' else, it gives ya a lot more appreciation for the Pokémon that decide ta stay by our sides.
