[Apparently one of her pokemon is filming this because the camera is a bit further away then usual. You can see Newt sitting by a bed, and also off to the side there is an Eevee sitting on the floor. He is also holding onto a dolls head. It's for moral support.

Newt meanwhile looks at the camera.]

I have a question. If you're af...if you don't really like a certain type of pokemon that much. But you still want to get all the gym badges. Do you think it would be easier to get the gym themed for them over with first? Or should you wait and maybe you won't be so afraid of them in the future?

Oh and does anyone knows what this is?

Vasquez brought it back after Halloween but I'm not sure what to do with it.

I bet we can help.

I'm pretty sure I even have a couple of Pokemon that would be happy to help, too.

[sleepallthewayhome]

Really?

[That's scary and ...good?]

What pokemon are they?

[bent_the_world]

Well, I have a bunch of types.

What types are you really wanting to get to know better?

[sleepallthewayhome]

Well it's mostly some of the bug types. But just the ones that look like the monsters from home.

Or ones that jump on your face. I read about one of those. I think it's a ground type.

[bent_the_world]

Like which ones? I don't really know what the monsters from your home look like...

...that jump on your face?

[sleepallthewayhome]

Yeah there's one that does that. I read about it. It's a...

Just a second, I wrote the name down.

[Give her a moment to dig out a very doodled in notebook.]

A Gligar.

Oh and the ones I've found that look like the monsters are.

Surskit, Spinarak, Wimpod, Golisopod, Scyther.

There's more but those are the ones I've written down so far. Oh and anything that looks like an egg. Or small with long legs that look like they could jump on your face. And some big ones too. I think the Golisopod looks the most like the big ones.

[bent_the_world]

Oh hey, I have a Surskit. And she's really friendly....

I think that's the only one I have that fits into the right category, but maybe you could meet her through the 'gear sometime?

[sleepallthewayhome]

Maybe....

She doesn't jump at peoples faces does she?

[bent_the_world]

I have never seen her jump at anybody ever.

[sleepallthewayhome]

Oh....

[She thinks for a bit.]

Then maybe....if it's okay with you... I might be able to meet her over the gear later?

[bent_the_world]

Yeah, that'd be okay.

Her name's Skipper.

[sleepallthewayhome]

That's a nice name.

[Also not a scary one, so yes.]

[bent_the_world]

She's a nice Pokemon. I met her down here in the islands - she really, really liked Princess Stompsalot.

[sleepallthewayhome]

Who is Princess Stompsalot?

[bent_the_world]

She's my dinosaur! She's really big, but she's a sweetheart.
