babel_hacker | Day 37 - [Video] | [Action] at Pewter

Never expected to end up on a museum’s roof during that craziness. And stuck there for a while.

[The camera shows movements, as Atsuro walks down the stairs in the museum to the lower floors. He turns his ‘Gear to show some of the exhibits, as well as his Clefairy looking at some of them, before turning the screen to his face.]

I take it most people end up somewhere else entirely? I went from Fuchsia to...Pewter, I think. I’ll check in a moment. [Ah, there’s the reception area.] Where did you guys end up in? You get bonus points if you have a funny story to go with it. Even if you don’t have a funny story, just tell me anyway. I’m curious.

[Is he forgetting something?]

Oh yeah. Today’s also my birthday! I’d probably eat out with my Pokemon later. [Give the birthday ~~boy~~ guy your birthday greetings! Asterisk runs over to him, giving her trainer a celebratory cry. Happy birthday, Atsuro!] Thanks, Asterisk.

...It’s kinda weird to think I’m twenty years old already... If I was back home right now, I would be attending college right now and getting ready to enter the workforce.

Lemme spring up another question, if you're home right now, what would you be doing at your current age?
-
[So at some point in the afternoon, a text post appear on the network.]

NAME: Atsuro Kihara
SEX: Male
AGE: 19 20
OCCUPATION: Trainer.
OFFERS: Company, weirdness, programming skills, being a good house husband
SEEKING: One person to date him. Guy or girl. At least near his age or looks like it. ~~Stupid trai~~ He needs to date someone.

Please respond if interested._

[Guess whose Porygon went inside the PokeGear...

Some time after that post went up, another text appear.]

Please ignore that post! My Porygon put it up, not me!

[HAHAHA Porygon you so cute.]

Happy Birthday.

But be warned, someone might take you up on your Porygon's offer.

[HEY Fortran is not cute.]

Thanks!

Well, I wouldn't mind hanging out with someone. Doing it this way is just embarrassing.

[Porygons are always cute.]

You'll have some explaining to do for those who take the ad seriously then.

[Fortran is cool, awesome and the ruler of Johto.]

I'll just put up with it, as long I don't get tired of explaining it over and over again. But I hope they get my message first before asking.

Perhaps you should start working on your damage control measures then.

[He can see Momo there Atsuro.]

[But it's fun!]

Yeah, I should. It's mostly Fortran who hijack my PokeGear, but I've been busy dealing with one of my newer Pokemon.

Let me guess-- he wants you to have some "help" in dealing with the new ones, doesn't he?

[Ah, the joys of being a new Pokedad. Again.]

Probably. I wouldn't mind some help in getting Cthulhu to behave.

[Except Atsuro haven't gotten any Pokebabies in a while. Mostly some departed friends' Pokemon being dumped into his care.]

Unless you know how to deal with a jerk Tentacruel.

Unfortunately no. All I have are ornery are two Blastoise, a Rapidash, Sandslash, Unfezant, Lucario, Salamence, Ninetales and Murkrow.

[Is he fucking with Atsuro?

... Actually, yes.]

[C'mon, Hope. Be a bro...!]

What about jerk Pokemon in general?

[Sorry I cant hear you over the sound of my SNARK.]

Yes. I think having two Blastoise, a Rapidash, Sandslash, Unfezant, Lucario, Salamence, Ninetales and Murkrow qualify me.

[At least you're not his teacher. But help a man out!]

Got any advice? Since you're that qualified.

It all depends on the Pokemon's personality, honestly. If they're more mischievous, sometimes I find not paying attention to the mess they make is better, because they do such things for attention. If they're destructive or actually problematic in their behavior, imposing a few restrictions helps. Or letting them use up their energy on something productive a few times a week.

Cthulhu is more like being mean and doesn't give me a chance to get to know him. So far, he doesn't really listens to me as much.

I don't know if he's always like that, or he just dislike having me, since his trainer left.

Then don't try giving him orders or requests at the moment. Just try making him get used to your presence by being around him.

I guess that's the most I can try to do. I want to get along with him since he used to be a friend's Pokemon.

[Oh okay. That's a different matter entirely.]

When he's feeling a little more receptive of you, you should have a discussion with him about his former trainer. Likely he's still grieving, and conversation helps.

I should. Since I haven't settle into a routine in Pewter yet, I have plenty of time for that discussion. Whenever he's receptive enough for it.

[Sure, getting a job is important. But Atsuro doesn't want to put things off any longer than it needs to be.]
