[ Someone looks very amused. ]

It seems I have gotten lost and ended up in someone else's home.

[ Ha ha ha... he's very amused by that whole, strange-woman-calling-herself-my-mother thing... give him a moment to chuckle about it.

Ahem, yes. ]

If anyone could tell me where I am, that would be much appreciated. Or point me in the direction of my wife. She's one hot babe, you wouldn't be able to miss her. [ Insert playful wink here. ]

Ah, yes. There was a child, too. Renton. He's a bit strange. [ Ha ha ha. He's just joking, don't worry Renton, if you're listening to this. But oh wait, he can be serious too. This is is serious face. ] He's a nice kid, though. Probably wouldn't do very well on his own.

[ There's a pause, as he contemplates turning off the 'Gear, but there's something else that's been on his mind. Should he mention it? ...

Yeah, why the heck not.

The camera pans to the ground and focuses on ... a rock? A large rock. That isn't moving currently, but might look like a Geodude it has arms. ]

This... ah... "rock" seems to be following me.

It's called Vanillite. I don't have one, but I've seen some people who do. I mean, I like ice cream, a lot, but the thought of it being alive is just too weird.

[He shrugs again. Not everyone likes battling. Fair enough.]

[papasmellslikethis]

I... see...

[ Nodding. Okay. He'll just. Take your word for it. ]

So what, does this thing have a name?

[ Nudging the rock with his foot.

His pet rock... ]

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah. That's a geodude. It's your starting pokemon.

[papasmellslikethis]

A 'geodude'?

[ He has to chuckle at that. ]

I'm starting to see that whoever named these creatures have a strange sense of humor.

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah. They really do.

They're really good partners to.

[papasmellslikethis]

I suppose if there are lots of battles going on, I should... somehow get myself a few more of these 'geodudes', shouldn't I?

[ Or, you know. A gun. ]

[seasaltkeys]

You could, but it helps to have a variety of pokemon.

See, they all have different types, so having a mix means that you're ready for anything.

Geodude's a rock type, so they're strong against electric and flying types, but he'd lose pretty badly against a water type.

There's a book that explains it all. It should be in your bag.

[ Hold on, he'll be fumbling around in his bag for a moment... and then coming out with a book. ]

I guess I've got some studying to do, then!

Thanks, kid. You've been really helpful.

[seasaltkeys]

It's kind of boring, but worth reading since it explains everything.

You're welcome.

[papasmellslikethis]

What's your name, kid? I'm Charles. Charles Beams.

[seasaltkeys]

'm Roxas. Nice to meet you.
