Trainers with Aerodactyls. Did any of you manage to get yours to quit snapping at everything in sight, or is this something I'm going to have to figure out on my own?

[Staring into the screen, Vanitas looks all sorts of nonchalant today, despite the ancient dinosaur with wings having a mouthful of forearm in her jaws. She's a bit smaller than an Aerodactyl is supposed to be, but it certainly doesn't change the annoyed snarl from her face. Really, he's just calling it a baby tantrum; she didn't like that he reached down in the way of her food and took a chomp.

Why the hell does he look like it doesn't hurt? When Sharon growls and tries to grind her teeth more, all she manages is to tear his sleeve a bit and reveal that there is a heavily hammered steel gauntlet beneath the fabric, and while the teeth aren't getting through, they're starting to leave some nasty dents.]

Anyway, the Pewter gym looks like it'll be easy as hell. It's a rock type gym, right? I guess we'll see if I get surprised at all or not; I did underestimate Celadon's gym once.

[Sharon doesn't like this 'being ignored' thing, and growls louder, gnashing her teeth against the steel.] Gnaw all you want, you big baby. You're not breaking through it, not with how many layers I melted into that thing.

I...think I understand. [ maybe, if she thinks of it purely in terms of elements it makes sense. it's just when she thinks of fish vs. flaming horses...it makes much less sense. ]

Um...evolve is when they get really big, right? I'll be sure to ask someone about that!

Yeah. They evolve into a Pokemon called Milotic. [Picking up his pokedex, he shows the device to her.] You have one of these too. If you type in the name, or point the camera at a Pokemon, it'll give you more information and a name.

[ she stares at that picture for a moment. a loooong moment. ]

That...looks nothing like her. [ she looks into the tub where Xiao'yu is just drifting along. ]

Oh yeah, I've been doing the pointy thing but it's hard to remember all the names... and I'm still getting used to typing.

You probably don't have to evolve her if you don't want to, or if she doesn't want to. Evolution just makes them stronger, but some Pokemon don't want to change.

Heh, it took me a while to get used to it too. It's easier in some cases than talking.

[ ...why wouldn't she want to? she's pretty useless as she is-- but she looks down at the feebas swimming in the tub again. ]

I guess I'll just let her decide, I don't know what's best for her. These pokemon creatures aren't very much like the animals I'm familiar with.

Um, thank you very much! For the advice and everything, Master Vanitas!

[He nods in agreement about the Pokemon not being like any monsters anyone is familiar with.] That's probably best.

[Still, Master makes him smile again and he tips his head into another nod.] It's not a problem. If you need any help, feel free to call me.

[ she can tell and it makes her giggle a bit again. ] I'll definitely take you up on that offer!

Alright. I'll get to work and see what I can do then.
