[behindblueskin]

Such an enthusiastic teacher, if a bit naive and braver than she thinks she is.

And there's a lot of the subject matter that goes over his head, but he has to commend her efforts.

"Grass? Does that mean it will use seeds or leaves as a projectile?"

Well actually... Yeah.

[shiningkindness]

She gets surprisingly bold and chatty when it comes to talking about animals.

"Yes, actually!" She takes a moment to look up more of Rowlet's information on the Pokegear. "Rowlets can learn moves like Leafage and Razor Leaf, and they'll be stronger than moves of other types. Flying moves would also be pretty strong too, since it's both types."

[behindblueskin]

Wait. He was just guessing!

Ah, well. At least his opinion of his rowlet has improved now that he knows he's not going to be saddled with something useless.

"How do I witness this? Will it just do it?"

[shiningkindness]

"Well, a lot of Pokemon use their moves when they're fight others. Either out in the wild, or in a match against other trainers. Battling Pokemon is kind of like a sport in this world."

[behindblueskin]

And down goes his opinions of this world just as his opinions of the rowlet were getting better.

Animals fight each other in nature. That's true. But that's not the cause of his distaste.

People making their creatures fight each other is.

"'Battle'?"

He rescued Panthor from hunters while the cat was still a cub. Yeah, the idea of making creatures duke it out isn't going to sit well with him despite whatever reputation his home world and canon might say otherwise.


Hey maybe Fluttershy will understand his thoughts on this!

[shiningkindness]

Fluttershy definitely doesn't sound entirely convinced about the whole thing either, even as she talks about it. "Y-Yeah...I know it sounds pretty bad, but it's...done pretty carefully for the most part? There are a lot of places for taking care of Pokemon after matches like that, and there are a lot of rules to make sure the Pokemon are as safe as possible during them. And a lot of the Pokemon themselves do actually seem to enjoy the challenge and testing their skills."

[behindblueskin]

"So it is more like sparring than an actual combat?"

That, he can get his head around.

Sure sounds a lot nicer than battling.

[shiningkindness]

She nods. "Yes exactly. It's like a friendly competition, and people and Pokemon don't have to participate in it if they don't want to."

[behindblueskin]

He looks at the rowlet that's now perched upon the ram's skull that tops Keldor's havoc staff.

The word "battle" seems to have gotten its attention, for it seems to be rather eager for a bit of "sparring". Certainly wants to engage in some sort of activity

"This creature wishes to engage in some 'sparring'."

Pause.

"Though I am not certain of that."

[shiningkindness]

"Oh...yes it does look like he wants to give it a try."

Unfortunately, that's not something she was really equipped to help with.

"I, um...I'm not much of a sparring partner. B-But there is a town nearby, I think? There might be people there willing to help out with that."
