I know I can't have been the only one who ended up as a pokemon during the weekend. Which was a really unique experience, don't get me wrong. I certainly feel like I've gotten a better understanding of what it is like to be a pokemon, but.

Well.

Has anyone else been dealing with any... unusual urges since then?

[Armin just had a passing urge to beat up a small child for a french fry. Please tell him he is not the only one dealing with this.]

It was a lot more difficult than I expected. Birds always make it looks so easy and natural, but it took me a while to really figure it out. Landing, in particular, is really complex. You've got to get the speed just right or else you end up ploughing into the ground. Or dropping out of the sky if you don't go fact enough.

[Ask him how he knows. Or just ask the small, Wingull sized impact craters he left in the sand during the weekend.]

But once you actually are in the air and soaring it's... it's really nice. Very different from the gear. It's a lot more slow and relaxed. You don't even need to use your wings. Though if you accidentally end up catching a weird gust of wind, it can really toss you up in the air.

I felt free in those dreams. Like nothing could touch me.

_{[But learning... Lord, he's glad he never had to deal with that in those dreams.]}

Even baby birds crash a lot though too, don't they? There was a nest of something close to where I lived and I remember the little ones having um
trouble sometimes.

But... At the same time I suppose if you hurt yourself trying to land or crashing, you could've walked to a Pokecenter and they could've helped you out, right?

True. And I could talk for some reason, so I could've explained things to them too.

Actually, about that. Could you talk while you were a pokemon? I could, but Shiro couldn't. I'm not sure why. I mean, Shiro was an Agron, so he was a different pokemon, but it is not like Wingul are normally capable of human speech.

Oddly enough, yeah. I didn't really sound like me, but I could. If I had to describe it, it was... I'd say my voice was a little deeper and more

rough? And sometimes my original voice sounded like it'd be mixed in with the deeper one. It|

It was weird.

I think my voice sounded like it normally does. I mean, I suppose I wouldn't be the best judge of it. You'd have to ask Shiro to be certain. It certainly sounded the same to my own ears.

Still, it really makes me wonder why there is such a variation. And how we ended up as the pokemon that we did. I mean, at first I thought everybody turned into pokemon they at least own, but I've heard of some other people that turned into pokemon they have no connection to at all. There are even a few people who turned into multiple pokemon this weekend.
