3rd Bloom; [video outside Goldenrod]

[Asgore is outside somewhere, beaming at the camera. He's a large man, but he's currently dwarfed by the giant, roaring sea serpent at his side.]

Look! Splash has finally evolved! [He pats the Gyarados's neck, apparently not put off by the roaring.] I admit I was hesitant about this "battling" sport at first, but she seems very happy. And she has even made a new friend!

[Said "new friend" is the reason for the roaring. A Ditto is sitting near Splash. As the camera turns to it, it slowly winks one of its weird eyes and wiggles its hips. Splash roars at it. What a meaningful conversation!]

I believe they shall be coming with us. They are very talented - they transformed into several different Pokemon earlier. Is that a common talent?

I can see where it could be...disturbing. [That face] But it's quite an impressive talent, is it not? Does yours use it for fighting?

[motherfucking_ghosttype]

P...rrrrobably? I honestly haven't taken it out of its pokeball much, except around the house, and I know that's kind of a shame but like...I don't want to be using a coffee mug and suddenly it's a Ditto, y'know? It was a rock when I first met mine. I literally couldn't tell it apart from the rest of the rocks on the ground!

Other than skeeving out your opponent, I'm not fully sure how you'd use that for fighting.

Turning an opponent's strengths against them could be quite helpful! Though, the rock thing would be very good for avoiding fights altogether...I have not seen this one imitate anything inanimate yet.

[motherfucking_ghosttype]

Well, now, there's a thought... It imitates looks, but does it imitate anything else? Maybe if it sees something use a move, it can copy that, too? I don't actually know, but maybe I should give the little glob of playdoh a chance to train. If anything, maybe it'll be good for creeping people out for Halloween?

Every Pokemon deserves a chance at training, if that is what they want. Though, I'm sure they could also be very scary if you asked.

[motherfucking_ghosttype]

You eventually get enough pokemon that their ball just disappears and transfers right into a computer, so, I dunno, maybe everyone should stay right around at six of 'em unless some of them don't want to fight. I mean...some seem weirdly eager to, and some don't seem to care? So you could always switch some out, I guess.

Man, some are scary without asking them to. My ghost tried his best to haunt me for a while.

[woah woah wait what back that up]

They are stored in computers?

[motherfucking_ghosttype]

I have no idea how. If you have six on you and you catch a seventh? It just fucking disappears out of your hand, and it's on a computer.

[journalname]

Is that safe?

[It doesn't sound safe]

[motherfucking_ghosttype]

They...seem like they're just fine when you take 'em out? So I have to assume so. You can't really stop the process, that I know of, sssoooo...

[journalname]

That is...disturbing.

[To say the least]

Six is more than enough to raise at once, of course, but it's not their fault if someone chooses to catch more.
