008 | Video, Route 5

[It’s evening when the video opens, the video shows the sun is just about set in a field. It would be almost a calm scene if it wasn’t for Ray grinning like an idiot at the camera. He can barely contain his excitement but he gets himself to speak in a hushed voice.]

So you know those weird dimensional rifts we’ve been getting? The one that’s spewing out those interdimensional beings? Well guess who I found while I went out training today.

[He turns the camera around and OH GOD WHAT IS THAT?

The Stakataka isn’t looking at the camera right now, instead they’re just… gently crouching down and poking at a tiny Pokepuff that Ray presumably gave them.]



Yeah I ran into these guys today, and they’re surprisingly nice! I guess if you’re able to tell them that you don’t mean any harm they don’t want to attack you! Which, I guess that makes sense once you think about it. Sure we wake up in another dimension out of nowhere, but we have the convenience of having people easily explain to us what’s going on and that we’re not in any danger!

Which, I’m not exactly sure this guy over hears understands a word I say. I’ve been trying to communicate with this poor guy but they don’t even respond when I shout “Hey, you!” at them. [True to his word, the Stakataka doesn’t look up from their Pokepuff. Ray looks over fondly at the hulking beast as if it was a newly adopted pet] Still, I like to think I made great progress in a day!

I do miss fighting horrifying ghosts and monsters, don’t get me wrong. I would give anything to fight Cthulhu or the Boogieman again, but it’s nice being able to befriend these guys. It’s not every day you can say that you’re able to befriend a giant sentient rock structure from another dimension.

[The Stakataka suddenly looks up over at Ray, and stomps over to him. If Ray’s worried by him suddenly moving, he doesn’t show it as he just lightly looks over to them. They then lift a large leg aiming right at Ray’s head…

And they gently start patting his head, really delicately that you’d almost think that the Stakataka was terrified of crushing Ray if they put any amount of pressure on him. Ray laughs happily at this.]


See? Stuff like this never happened at home! These guys are really great!

[...Well that happened.]

[Winston's hand slips from his forehead to the side of his cheek, a fond look forming in his eyes hearing Ray talk about the meeting- with his enthusiasm practically radiating off the screen like this, it's hard to not feel the same energy for yourself.] It doesn't hurt that you're the kind of guy who can make friends with just about anyone and anything you set your mind to, Ray.

[His eyes lower a little.]

...not sure it's made much progress on that puff, though.

I mean... you tell me how a building's supposed to eat anything.

[As far as Winston can tell, it doesn't look like it has a mouth... unless you count the opening on the underside as one. But finding a mouth wouldn't fix the problem by itself, if it doesn't understand what the food is for.]

But I think you're right- it might just need to learn by example. If it sees one of your pokemon eating a puff, then maybe that could open it up to the idea of eating one itself...?
