[As the gear crackles to life you can see there is a tired looking woman sitting on a stump. She appears to be taking a break on one of the routes.]

Yes, this appears to be broadcasting after all. Very well. Let us try this, little one.

[There is a floating Solosis who floats into view who is probably the one she was speaking to before she looks at the screen. When she speaks it is with a thick German accent.]

I am Dr. Brigid Tenenbaum, I was told to try this device to perhaps get more answers then I have received from the locals in the strange town I woke up in yesterday.

If there is a way back home, I would very much like to know it. I was in the middle of a very important project before I was taken here and I am needing to return to it soon.

However, if such a thing is unknown then if anyone has information on what this world uses pokemon breeders for I would be most grateful. It appears I am one and while I suppose my studies of genetics may be helpful with such things, I refuse to do this work unless I know what the results may be used for.

Thank you.

[Can't is just a word. She'll put that aside for now though.]

If you have extra I will take them. I will need to start my studies somewhere.

[Tenenbaum....you have no idea how many extra eggs this world has.]

[If only she honestly knew. And the fact these eggs are probably going to be hilariously moody or dumb as bricks Pokemon.]

I have five left. They'd either be purrloin, houndour, or growlithe. Not sure on the numbers as to which. But given their parents, that's the only assumption I can make.

[Tenenbaum's experience in looking after small children who like to stab corpses will come in handy.]

I can take one of each type.

[...She'll learn eventually about egg sizes.]

[Well, at least then she'll only have to worry about the purrloin stabbing things. Probably. Maybe the houndour.]

Can't quite guarantee one of each, all the eggs look the same. But whatever, I'll see what I can do and send 'em along. Once Nex stops trying to scratch my face off every time I go near her clutch.

Thank you. According to this map I should reach Cherrygrove City in two days.

[Then she'll have to figure out hey you don't get to carry more then 6 and work from there.]

Is there anything I should know about these types of cr-pokemon?

Cherrygrove... Ah, you're in Johto, then. That won't be too hard to send over there so once you get to the Pokemon Center they should be there. [Luckily being less than half an hour outside of a major city works real well in her favor.]

Uhhh. Well. Purrloin, the cat one, are kind of thieving bastards if you don't keep an eye on them. It comes with the territory of being a dark-type Pokemon. Houndour will be the one that looks like it has bones on it, the one you'd probably get had purrloin's evolution for a mother and will probably be an absolute asshole unless they got their father's personality. They also spit fire so be careful there.

Growlithe... Will probably be stupid as hell. But will be a fluffy tiger-striped looking dog. Also beware the fire bit.

[She is taking notes of all of this.]

Yes, shooting fire is always dangerous.

[Honestly when you have crazy people shooting fire at everything you have to get used to that sort of thing.]

Do many people study these pokemon here? To understand why they are- like this. Why the eggs, fire shooting and other such things? Or is this something everyone knows already?

Not exactly? Each Pokemon has a type, either one or two, that tends to correspond to what they can do. Fire, water, ground, rock, psychic, ghost, electric, grass, bug, ice, fighting, poison, flying, dragon, dark, steel, fairy, and the weirdest one "normal". Those are the types we know of, anyway.

Like growlithe is just a fire type while houndour is dark and fire. That sort of thing. Some even seem to change or gain another typing when they evolve, it's all rather strange.

Normal is a type?

[You're right that's weird.]

Did the people naming them run out of ideas?

Evidently so, usually it's used in combination with another type. But sometimes you just... have normal types.

[She's switching the camera for a bit around her nonsense, first showing a noctowl who's kind of sleeping right now.]

Like he's normal and flying, [then to a female pyroar] she's fire and normal, [and then to a herdier that's stretched out on the floor] and he's just straight-up a normal type.

I don't think they knew what to call them other than just to shrug and go "normal, sure".

That is still a strange term to use. It makes it sound like the others are all deviations from this grouping.

Your guess is as good as mine, I haven't looked into it all that deeply. As I've had other matters to take care of, though if you're interested, Goldenrod is probably the better place to find information on this stuff.

Since Silph Co probably has some information, or at least be able to point you in the direction of someone who does.

I have heard of them. They are the ones creating artificial pokemon.

Do you know anything about them? The company, I mean.
