[video / action for Route 37]
[As is usual whenever Ford makes a post, the feed clicks on and he immediately starts talking.]
Take a look at this!
[He lifts up his hands -- both of them, because as usual, Roswell is holding the 'gear. Cradled in his palms and looking just a tad bit overwhelmed to be on video is--]
Fungus!
[Yep. It's a Morelull, and he is just over the moon about it.]
I had thought that Foongus and Amoongus were the only mushroom-imitating Pokemon (not counting, of course, the parasitic variety that preys on the Paras line). I have read through the Pokedex quite a few times since my arrival and there was never mention of this species, but lo and behold, an entry has appeared for Morelull sometime within the last few days. Is this a common occurrence? Is there always potential for completely new Pokemon to simply materialize out of the ether? Fantastic.
And sensible. There are over fourteen thousand species of mushroom native to my own dimension, to say nothing of molds and yeasts. That only a select few Pokemon have ever adapted a similar biology is surprising when fungus is one of the more successful organisms as a general rule; my assumption now is that there are many, many more and we simply haven't stumbled upon them yet. Not only that but Morelull is Grass and Fairy type! I wonder if they naturall congregate in rings in their resting day state--
[Oh my god. This is so cool. This is so cool you guys. Does this mean he's going to be spending the rest of his time in Johto aggressively checking rotten logs for new Pokemon species? Probably.]

...Her and about half a dozen members of my team.

[What the fuck are you serious. Arceus. Like. God? Pokemon God?]
Though I suppose the concentration of legendary Pokémon might explain a drastic universal shift...

[One of the better gods he knows of. ...Not that that's hard when it comes to DenYuuDen.]
no subject
[Does this mean he's going to get to meet Arceus eventually because fuck]
I suppose that just means I have to add more to the list of things I eventually hope to accomplish here. 'Speak to God'.
no subject
...Heh. If it was anywhere else, I'd say a lack of visits from the gods can only be a good thing.

Do you think perhaps the common factor there might be you?
[Ah, yes. Tact.]

Doesn't give them the right to be assholes about it. I never asked to be born the way I was.

Looks like everyone's nerves are getting struck.]
...That isn't what I intended to imply.
no subject
[But that appears to have been a mere momentary lapse in his guard, as his demeanor shifts back rather quickly. Neutral, detached... tired.]
Ahh, well, still, they seem like they dislike a lot of other people, too. Some of whom I don't even have a connection with. So you wouldn't really be safe, trying to meet them.
