[The feed opens with a view of someone wearing a painted Mandalorian helmet. The background is one of overcast skies and there’s a view of the ocean in the distance. Those familiar with the area would probably recognize it as Cerulean Cape. The helmeted lady sounding a little winded as she speaks.]

This is Bo-Katan. I need some advice on how to deal with a… difficult Pokémon.

[She definitely sounds exasperated as she sighs. Her helmet tilting as she looks at something offscreen. Bo hasn’t had any issues with any of the Pokémon she’s caught until now, and she’s not sure what to do about it.]

Din? That master ball you gave me?

[The camera then turns to show a huge, pissed off, dragon.]

It worked.

[And now she’s wondering what she’s gotten herself into.]

Comments

[mywayistheway]

[A bunch of small fuzzy things essentially. All of which she hasn’t seen until now.]

You definitely have a theme.

[While she appreciates cute things as much as the next person, they’re not really her thing.]

The closest I have to any of those is… Tooka come here.

[The camera turns to a rather ordinary looking Meowth.]

[crystalmaster]

[Radley smirks.]

Oh yeah.

[He smiles to see the Meowth, and his Pokemon call greetings.]

I need to get one of those. Hi, Tooka!

[mywayistheway]

[Tooka peers into the camera with her big eyes and greets the other Pokémon back!]

There’s definitely no shortage of them around here. Though you’re a breeder, so if you would rather breed your own I wouldn’t mind letting you borrow her if she’s up for it.

[crystalmaster]

Thanks! I'll let you know.

[He does enjoy breeding Pokemon. But he also curiously wonders if a Meowth might decide to adopt him, as several other Pokemon did, so part of him wants to look for one in the wild first.]

[mywayistheway]

[It doesn’t really matter to Bo but the offer will stand if he decides he wants to do it.]

Oh, I didn’t get your name.

[crystalmaster]

[Radley appreciates it.]

Radley. And you?

[mywayistheway]

Bo-Katan Kryze

I’ve only been here for a few weeks. What about you?

[crystalmaster]

About a year and a half. I run a cafe in Goldenrod City.

[mywayistheway]

I passed through there not long after I arrived. A friend of mine brought me to Kanto.

Most everyone I’ve met have been here a long time.

[crystalmaster]

Cool.

Yeah, it doesn't seem like we get as many new arrivals these days.

[mywayistheway]

Then I’m just lucky I guess.

[Can you hear the sarcasm?]

[crystalmaster]

[Radley definitely does.]

At least you found a friend. Is it someone you knew from home?

[He's always happy to hear about friends reuniting here. He longs for that so much for himself.]

[mywayistheway]

Yes.

[A pause.]

But he doesn’t remember much of the time we spent together.

[crystalmaster]

Oh.

[Radley frowns.]

I’m sorry. That must be tough.

[He wonders sometimes what would happen if he finally sees Kalin again, but Kalin’s from before the time they met. That might crush him, especially when they have so much unresolved between them, at least as far as Radley’s concerned.]

[mywayistheway]

It’s fine.

[It’s not fine. But Bo isn’t going to say as much. It has certainly crushed her a little bit.]

[crystalmaster]

[Radley is sure it’s not fine. But he won’t press. They barely know each other.

“Eevee-vee?” says Evie, wanting to be comforting.]

[mywayistheway]

[Again it can’t be seen but Bo smiles slightly under the helmet at the Eevee’s attempts to be consoling.]

Maybe I need an Eevee too.

[crystalmaster]

[Radley smiles.]

We highly recommend it.

[mywayistheway]

I’ll keep an eye out for one.

It was a pleasure meeting you Radley.

[crystalmaster]

You could always buy an egg from me.

Same!

[His Pokemon warble.]

[mywayistheway]

[That gets a pause. Right. He’s a breeder.]

How much?

[crystalmaster]

The usual price is 1500P, but for newcomers I have a special rate of 1200P.

[mywayistheway]

How generous. I think I’ll take you up on that.

[crystalmaster]

[Radley is happy business is good enough that he can offer this.]

Great! Do you have any moveset preferences?

[mywayistheway]

I’m not familiar enough with them yet to say.

Surprise me?
