I've been thinking about the significance of our first pokémon. I find it hard to believe the species given to us are random.

[A brief pause. He's been bothered by this ever since his arrival, actually.]

The initial reaction on meeting your first is important, whether it was fear, familiarity, anger, amusement, or the more unlikely indifference. Then there is of course the more pressing question: why were we given these particular ones?

I'd appreciate your thoughts.

[He's investigating again. Action for anyone in Azalea - he'll most likely be hanging around the pokémon center, working there and all.]

New York? I always wanted to go there.

The city, that is.

Traveling in winter is a generally treacherous endeavor, especially with snow storms included. It should be avoided unless absolutely necessary.



When you do get into town, you absolutely must contact me. No excuses!

The first time I went there I was robbed of everything but my tape recorder. It's a marvellous city, but very unforgiving.

_{[Cooper gives him a sunny grin in response.]}

You'll be the first to know.

[Goodness, you're making her blush.]

Oh, now....I wouldn't say that.

[....Okay, yeah. She probably would. But she's not overly obnoxious with adults.]

[video]

[tapestodiane]

You would.

_{[He says so knowingly, matter-of-factly. He was the most mature amongst his peers, growing up, so he can remember how it was.]}

[justicereigns]

Been here long?

[tapestodiane]

Three months. And you?

[justicereigns]

Since May. [Annoyed grunt.]

[tapestodiane]

That makes you one of the earliest.

[justicereigns]

Hn. There are some others from around that time. The Straw-Hat brat and Kaz were here then. Though Kaz left, she came back. This place is just insane like that.

[tapestodiane]

It's definitely something different. Do you know if there's anyone that arrived prior to May?

[justicereigns]

[Shakes head.] There were a ton of us when we first showed up, the professor guy was just trying to keep order. Before that I don't think this place was having this problem.

[tapestodiane]

_{[Cooper nods, glad to finally have gotten a more substantial answer to that particular question.]}

The more you know, the better. The next question is what happened in May to spark this.

But that might be for another time.

_{[Polite, small smile.]}

Thanks again, Smoker.

[justicereigns]

If we knew, we wouldn't be trying to collect badges and see what happens on the other side.

Good luck with it.

[tapestodiane]

Yes, that is a reason to try.

_{[Feed ends there.]}

...Okay, perhaps I would.

[You got her. She really would.]

[video]

[tapestodiane]

I thought so. Always a pleasure talking to you, Hermione.

_{[He's a busy man (ttly) so this is where he's gonna hang up.]}

[brightlilwitch.livejournal.com]

It's been a pleasure, as well. Good day, Mr. Cooper.

[And she's hanging up as well.]
