Hey, everyone, it's Ray Stantz here! You know, the guy who was freezing on Route 29 on Christmas Eve?

Don't worry, I'm more than safe now. :-)

Anyway, I do research on the supernatural (I specialize in ghosts and the hunting and containment of them, for those curious!) and I've been reading up on myths and legends in this dimension. It's pretty interesting stuff, but I would like to hear some first hand accounts of the strange and unusual sightings in this dimension! Whether it's encounters with Legendary Pokémon, normal Pokémon, or just strange occurrences you've noted in this dimension, I want to hear about it! I think it would help get me a better understanding of this dimension. And even if it doesn't, it would be fun to hear about!

Or heck, if you have any fun stories of strange encounters back in your home dimension I would love to hear that too; I'm not picky!

Aww poor thing! I'm glad you're giving him a loving home now!

These guys seem to have quite a high level of sentience, don't they? I'm kind of curious what possibly happened on this planet where almost all the fauna have evolved to have a similar level of intelligence as human beings.

He's definitely happier now, so everything worked out in the end.

I'm always surprised by how smart Pokemon are. Sometimes I feel like they're a little TOO smart for me to keep up with, though...my Sylveon likes to take my 'gear and make videos without asking. [That's not too different from how her own daughters back home do the same thing, but still.]

But yeah, it does make you wonder how they all got to be as smart as they are...

That is a very good question! One of my partners is doing some experiments on their intelligence and so far a lot of them seem to have the sentience and intelligence of the average human, if not higher for some of them!

That's pretty amazing! But considering the kind of things Pokemon are already capable of, I'm not too surprised. A while ago I actually talked to a Pokemon who knew how to type, so I bet most of them could even learn to read and write.

Huh! I wonder if I should try to teach my Pokemon to write in that case! It would make communication a little easier.

... Of course none of my Pokemon have usable hands so I might have to wait for them to change forms before I can seriously consider that.

[... He's talking about Pokemon evolution.]

That might be a good idea. I think some of my Pokemon would be able to get the hang of it fairly easily. [Though Twizzle the Sylveon is already pretty good at using the gear, even if she can't type.]
