So people sell Pokemon eggs, right? That's what you do...?

[Boober is holding one egg carefully against his chest, and carefully standing as still as he can manage. His mouth is pulled into a very nervous frown.]

Traveler and Tales have four more, too. It'd be nice if people wanted them, because five is a lot to take care of... More than I can do. So if anyone wants to buy one for 300P, just tell me. Traveler is my Hisuian Growlithe, and Tales is a Patra-- Well, no wait, he's a Watchog now.

...About that. Evolution is kind of weird, isn't it? It's like deciding to have a birthday, but then they change how they look too, and that just happens all at once.

(ooc: The post for claiming eggs is here! Please make sure to hit that up if you want one, regardless of if you tag here.)


Mando: Outside of Mt Moon
[Boober can't avoid the training he and Mando agreed on forever, no matter how many seconds thoughts he's having. He should know how to escape from dangerous situations, after all, and it doesn't seem like Mando expects him to actually fight. Still, he's hesitant as he goes over to Mando.]

Um... I think I'm ready to learn that stuff you told me about.


Riz: Inside Mt Moon
[The amount of preparation Riz is doing for the upcoming tournament is admirable. He's even got Boober in on it, by making flashcards he can use to test Riz's knowledge-- Which Boober much rather do than help with actual practice battles. It's helping him learn more, too, which is important. He can't avoid every challenge, especially with Archie so eager to fight. So usually, Boober pays close attention during these quiz sessions, but as they walk through the caves of Mt Moon, he's very distracted. It's such a nice, homey place for a little Fraggle.]

Wait a second... Darn. [He sighs as he flips the top flashcard back over to the question side.] I read that one wrong again. It should've been the use for a charti berry, not a cheri berry. Sorry, Riz.

She clearly has a very playful and kind nature. I bet she's very clever at knowing when someone's sad and needs cheering.

[soupguy]

... Someone like a stick?

[lifebloomsanew]

Plants can feel sad, too.

That's one thing I miss, now that I'm human. I can't talk to them anymore.

[soupguy]

[Now, that gives Boober pause. Coming from a place like Fraggle Rock, he doesn't find it too hard to believe that someone could talk to plants... Especially if they weren't a silly creature. It's always kind of nice to meet someone who - like him - was usually something else.]

I never would've guessed they could. [And some Pokemon are very plant-like, too, so he wonders if maybe there's something to that explanation of Traveler's behavior... But first:] What did you used to be?

[lifebloomsanew]

It's not like you or I, but still.

And I was a gem. I know that sounds strange, but I was a living mineral.

[soupguy]

Well, it doesn't sound so strange. I've never heard of living gemstones, but I don't think it would surprise me if that happened back home.

Actually, it would make sense. Rocks are all over where I'm from, and so are strange and magical things.
