Why is that every time I think my life can't get any weirder, it does? I need to stop even thinking that I've hit the limit on that. I mean, I finally start getting a handle on the exhausting danger of treasure hunting, and now I look weird and have a cat that likes to fight things!

For the record, that's totally not the appeal of cats. Cats are great because they're indifferent and lazy. Shilling is not either of those things!

But fine, if there's one thing I've learned over the last couple of years, it's how to roll with the craziest punches. So let me introduce myself: I'm Louie Duck, and my cat - I'm sorry, my Alolan Meowth - is Shilling. We're heading out from New Bark Town.

This is going to be a lot of walking, isn't it?

idk what the hell you're talking about, i'd trade you my lazy and indifferent cat in a heartbeat for one that actually, y'know, did shit

anyway it's gonna be ALL the walking, but at least it's not all the walking during a goddamn snowstorm. they'll make you do that btw. it sucks.

[talkyourwayout]

No, I see how it's useful for a cat to be like this here. But objectively I feel that misses the point, you know? If I were a cat I wouldn't be fighting. I'd be sleeping.

Also, saying it could be worse because it could be in the snow? Seriously> I mean, you are not wrong, but that makes you sound older than my uncle, which shouldn't be possible.

I apologize for him lmao

[bestswordmaster]

cats aren't lazy.
nor are they indifferent.
you clearly just have no idea how to communicate with them.
and if that's how you view them
then shilling shouldn't have to put up with you.

[This man is pretty defensive about cats for some reason.]

lol please don't

[talkyourwayout]

Okay, first of all I don't say those things as insults. Those are good things in my book.

But why is that so important to you, anyway?

[fortuna_tenax]

till you get something you can ride, yeah. count your blessings you didn't show up in january like i did
congrats on the cat tho they are most excellent regardless

[talkyourwayout]

That's the second time someone's mentioned the snow. I'm not looking forward to winter here.

And thanks, Shilling may not be the kind of cat I expected, but I do like him.

[ron_factor]

Yeah, there's a lot of walking.

But as far as adventures go this one's pretty low-key. Aside from Prom anyways, and a bunch of goons using mind-control as a distraction while they ransack a mansion is basically just an average Tuesday back home.

[talkyourwayout]

I'm so not into the walking.

But man, dumb bad guys using weird plans to ransack a mansion is definitely more of the same for me, too. So if that's the height of adventure here, maybe it won't be too bad.

a bird! hi i'm kiri! i was a kenku before. i miss my feathers.

flying is faster so get a bird pokemon that knows fly quick. almost all of mine do, but fucking rocket stole my eggs.

or catch rookidee! they get the biggest!

[talkyourwayout]

Hey Kiri. I thought I must be the only bird here - everyone seems pretty comfortable being like this, so far. It's cool to know someone else who gets it.

[Even if he has no idea what a Kenku is. He's not going to question it now.]

It's the feet that are most annoying to me, honestly. Anyway, flying will be way better than walking! I'll look out for Rookiedee.

Uh, sorry about your eggs, though. Who's Rocket?

[pinkxeno]

so
much
walking

and everybody thinks thats normal?????
like just send kids out to walk forever be it sunny or rainy or snowy

anyway u just arrived right? welcome! im ashido mina

[talkyourwayout]

Right? It's so weird! At least when my family goes on crazy adventures there's almost always an adult around who at least sort of knows what they're doing.

But thanks for the welcome. I think I'm getting the hang of the battling Pokemon stuff, at least. It doesn't hurt that Shilling keeps getting into fights.

Oh, don't worry. You get used to the walking. I'm Romelle. It's very nice to meet you. Louie.

If you don't mind. Why do you say you look weird?

[talkyourwayout]

I don't know about that, I really hate walking. But I can deal with it, even if I never get used to it. Anyway, it's nice to meet you too.

Oh, because I'm not a duck anymore.

[epitaffio]

What do you mean, you look weird?

[Wait...]

Were you actually a duck before or something?

[talkyourwayout]

Well, yeah. We don't have people who look like this where I come from. People are birds and dogs, things like that.

[hellablue]

Hey dude, let me be the 6th or 7th one to probably tell ya this already- whatever weird shit you're used to, this place dishes back at least tree fiddy times that every week, maybe more. It never stops. Everything's always weird as fuck.

text

[talkyourwayout]

It's not even that this is more weird than I'm used to. It's more like a whole different kind of weird, you know? There were patterns I'd found in what I did with my family, and now that's all out the window.

[bigsadwolf]

[...everyone else has brought this up already but Legosi is too curious not to ask himself:]

Are you a duck, normally?

[talkyourwayout]

Yeah, I am. I mean, probably not the way you're thinking. I didn't just quack and swim in a pond all day while people threw bread crumbs.

I can't speak for walking, but I do know that they gave me a chair with wheels instead of one that hovers via magic, and my arms are SO TIRED.

[talkyourwayout]

Oh a wheelchair, jeez. This is a lot of traveling to do that way, one that hovers with magic would definitely have been better.

[I'm so sorry about Claudia's spelling, but it's canonically terrible.]

yeah theres a lot of walking but yu get used to it

meowths are grate tho because they have a move called pay day where mony comes out of theyr heds and they throw it at the pokemon theyr fiting

and yu can colleckt the mony they threw

[talkyourwayout]

I'm sorry what. They just make money? Like, from nothing? And it stays real?

text (NOW IN THE RIGHT CHARACTER)

[cometkin]

Yeah, but you can get pokemon you can ride on! They sell 'em at Moomoo Farms and I guess you can catch 'em too?

[talkyourwayout]

Wait, so... People buy Pokemon? That's definitely interesting. And riding on one sounds like a good way to get around!
