2nd Recipe [Olivine City, Video]
[It's definitely evident in this video that Jane's begun to settle in to the world of Pokemon. She's got her 'gear propped up so it can film her as she sits cross-legged on a bed (obviously in the Olivine Inn, for anyone who's ever stayed), backpack leaning against the pillow behind her, and she is all smiles.]
Hello again! This is Jane, for those of you who didn't see my, erm...grumpy introduction a few weeks ago. But yes, ah, so! I'm alright, my friend Dirk managed to pick me up on Route 31 and now I'm staying with him and some of our...relations, I guess you could call them, in Olivine City! It's really beautiful...but then again, this whole region is full to bursting with plants and people and Pokemon...
[She pauses, having caught herself gesturing as she spoke so excitedly, and blushes.]
Um, anyway. Pokemon - lots of types. That's what I wanted to talk about. I'm from a world where Pokemon was a video game that children played, but they only had 151 species. It's grown very apparent to me that there are lots more than that around, and I was wondering if anyone on here could give me some...opinions, I guess, on what kinds would be good to catch. I've heard we can talk to the Psychic ones, which would be so interesting to experience! But I also want to make sure I've got a balanced team, I've heard that is a very important thing to do, especially if you want to challenge the gyms, and...[She shrugs.] Well, it doesn't seem like you can travel with practicallity anywhere without some gym badges, and the closest one to me is a...Steel type gym, I think. So, for starters, I know I'll need to train a LOT just to get ready for the gym, but if I had something with a type advantage, I figure that would help heaps. For reference, I have an Audino and -
[She's cut off by the click and creek of an opening door, and soon a Kricketune toddles into view, forlorn as he climbs up on the bed to flop into Jane's lap. His mustache is a total mess and there are bits of green berry smashed all over his face, and Jane lets out a small gasp of surprise.]
Oh, Poirot, what happened? I thought you were playing with Dinah - wait...she didn't, did she?
Tuuuuuune...
[She shakes her head and tsks, reaching into her backpack for a small wooden box and a towel.]
Oh, it figures she'd do that! I'll give her a talking to when she comes in - ah, wait, hold on.
[Jane sets the things down and leans over, smiling sheepishly into the 'gear. As she talks, the Kricketune watches her and pales, hiding his face in the bedspread and groaning in mortification. She's talking into the thing, that means people can see how undignified he is doesn't it???]
Sorry about this! Um, anyway, if you've got suggestions for what kind of Pokemon I should catch, please let me know! I'll be able to respond once I've taken care of this poor fellow.

[He, too, leans in, lowering his voice.]
And I'm the idiot who has over seventy of 'em.
[Too many monsters, too little time... Do not be like him, Jane. There's still time!]
Well, her Steelix has rock and ground attacks to deal with fire, and Magnezone can deal with water, so it's really about the type matches and the tactics. Might help to have something speedy, since Skarmory and Steelix aren't exactly marathon runners... but honestly, I wouldn't worry too much. Just go with what's natural, train up, and it'll probably work out.

[Slow dawning horror]
Buttered biscuits, why seventy?!
[SORRY SHE JUST. She's listening to the rest of it but why did you subject yourself to this]

[Said with a perfectly straight face before he ultimately waves his hand.]
I mean, back then, it was about building the biggest team I could muster, so I was ready for everything. Then my team hit the max level, and I needed something new to train. Then we got new species... and over time, I wound up with a personal zoo.
