What's the general average of Pokémon caught versus time spent here, guys? I feel like I'm way fuckin' behind since I haven't got many. I guess maybe I'm just picky.
Oh.

[He switches to Video, hoisting his Riolu into the field of vision. He-- smiles, moreso than he grins, which is probably an odd sight to most.] This is Roxy. And, uh-- Sawtooth, stop chopping up tree branches y'fuckin' nerd, get over here. [The gear moves around in a dizzying motion as Dirk sets Roxy down and carries the gear to a nearby tree, in which his Skarmory is perched and, as mentioned, chopping away at tree branches with his wings. Dirk sighs.] Smile for the camera, dummy.

Yep. The pet analogy works the best for them. I'm not a pet owner back home, but having Pokemon is probably similiar. Without the Pokemon-specific part of raising them, of course.

[Text] still the latest

[heartsplintered]

Yeah, I've never had a pet but there were a fucking lot of seagulls that hung around my place back home. It seems like a modified sort of pet ownership.

[Text] forever the latest

[babel_hacker]

It does, just with some human-Pokemon partnership mixed into things.

You kinda have seagulls as pets?

[Text] so much late

[heartsplintered]

Kinda.
There were a bunch of them around since I kind of lived in an apartment-turned-island, and I fed them sometimes.

"Apartment-turned-island" sounds like there's a story behind it.

[Text]

[heartsplintered]

Not a whole lot of one, really.
I'm from a post-apocalyptic future wherein me and one of my best friends are the only two humans still alive.
My apartment is about two stories away from being underwater.

[babel_hacker]

Oh.

In my opinion, the "post-apocalyptic future" is a worth a short story or so. Like how in the world did that happen? And how did it end up with you two?

Two words: Fish Hitler.

[There's a pause as Atsuro stares at the reply. Did he read that right...]

Seriously?

[Text]

[heartsplintered]

Really really.
Except I guess she's kind of hot and doesn't have a stupid mustache.
Or a thing against blondes with blue eyes, but I dunno I mean she did kind of kill every human being except a pair of blondes with weird eye colors.

[babel_hacker]

That should surprise me, but it didn't. I guess "Fish Hitler" tripped me up.

Kinda sucks for humanity in your world, though.
