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.]

You mean we were given specific ones for a reason?

[Lancer gave the Houndour at his side an odd look before turning back to the camera with a grin.]

Then I would say someone did their research on me.

It's a theory.

_{[Cooper looks interested.]}

You seem quite happy about it.

I think it's safe to say I like dogs. Raised one back home...that was a long time ago, though.

Besides, Olldóiteán is interesting--never knew any dog to spit fire before.

No, that is an unusual talent. At least outside of Johto.

_{[Have a small smile. Cooper's not very well acquainted with dogs, but he looks at the one on the feed with a certain amount of interest anyway.]}

I figured as much.

[The black dog at his side yawned before giving the video a curious look.]

If nothing else, she's been useful in training against the little wild creatures running around.

[tapestodiane]

Yes. It appears to be their purpose.

So I'm told. Doesn't it seem strange to any of you? I'm a little more used to fighting my own battles.

[tapestodiane]

It does. These pokémon battles would probably be regarded as illegal activites where I'm from.
