[backdated to 24th oops] video

[ When the video turns on in the very early morning, there's only half a face present before it comes up fully onto the screen. The boy is practically beaming at the journal, and there's only a second before-- ]

Ivysaur evolved!

[ Yes. He couldn't keep that excitement in. He's still got a really dumb smile on and he has to remember what he was going to say, a pause there before he continues. ]

If you don't know what an ivysaur is, they're a grass and poison type pokémon! Ivysaur's been with me since she was a bulbasaur and now she's huge! She's big! She's nearly as big as Snorlax is!

[ The camera faces down to a dusty ground, then comes back up. ] I'm going to show you her, okay? [ And then the book flips around, showing a large, blueish-greenish toad-skin looking monster with a flower protruding from her back from the front, standing at 6'10 (for those who can tell). She leans her head to the side, her mouth opening slightly and showing her fangs as she grunts a small sound. She's embarrassed by the fuss, but the yellow rodent at her feet displays her with his arms proudly out towards her. Pika! (Check her out!)

(Also from the background, some might be able to tell that they're at the farm. Why are they at the farm so early? Because.) ]


Isn't she cool? She is! --oh, hey, Snorlax! Stand next to her and show everyone how big she is next to you!

[ The recording swings over to show a very fat panda creature sitting down eating a pile of bread. He continues eating, and as Red begs again ("C'mon, Snooorlax!"), the creature proceeds to noisily shuffle his butt to face the opposite direction. Noopppee. ] Snor! You...!

[ Huff! He faces the screen back to himself finally, making a puffed face but not so seriously. ] Forget about him! Saur's amazing and that's all that matters!

[ And then one last smile! ]

Bye!!!

[It's not entirely surprisingly there's a form of combat involving pokémon. Different types, different abilities, there's a logic behind it. While the idea of people making animals fight makes Ginia recoil slightly, it does sound like there's a lot of care and love and regulation involved. Granted, probably not everyone is kind to their pokémon, but she tries to remain optimistic.

At least Ginia can tell by his words he's quite passionate on the subject and by the entry itself it's obvious he cares about his pokémon.]


I see. Thank you for explaining, it sounds quite interesting.

What are the different types of pokémon?

[Ginia jots the list down on a notepad, already seeing some obvious strengths and weaknesses. Water was probably strong against fire which was probably strong against grass which was probably strong against water. It was like a very complicated game of rock-paper-scissors and with pokémon with multiple types, it was certainly a game of strategy and skill.

Quite fascinating.]


That's a very interesting list. Also thank you for taking the time to explain all of this, I appreciate it.

I'm Ginia, by the way.

Nice to meet you. And sorry, you can talk if you want, I know it's easier for most people.

I think so. And sure, what do you want to know?

I'm afraid I have to write; I can't talk.

No monsters in my world [At least not animal monsters; all the monsters she knows are human.], but lots of animals. All of the animals I've seen out in the woods are animals in my world.

But the world I come from is very large. It's called Earth; there are a few different versions of it from talking to people here. Lots of cities, lots of people, it's very busy. But there are places not too dissimilar to this village too, places out somewhere quiet or out in the wilderness.

I've traveled a lot in my life, but I've mostly lived in cities. I guess you get used to the people and noise after awhile. They're all so different too.

No magic in my world, no monsters or people with other sorts of abilities. I suppose it's unusual in that regard.

[As far as things go, the only thing that seems to set her world apart from others is a high crime rate but that's not easy to share, especially to a kid.]

I suppose in some ways my world is unremarkable compared to others.

[Ginia stops to think about that. It's hard picking out the remarkable things of her world when she's seen so many of the problems in the world, even contributed to the darkness. And when compared against worlds with dragons and magic and all sorts of amazing people and things, it's hard.

But. This is her Earth and it was her home for 37 years.]


It's truly a beautiful world. Beautiful rain forests with hidden waterfalls, deserts with sand as far as the eye can see and rocky plateaus, lush forests filled with wildlife, deep oceans still so unexplored, there's so much to see.

Not all the time, but pretty close to. But because of all the rain, it's very lush and green.

Animals of all shapes and sizes from small bugs to animals like bears or deer. The ocean has even larger animals like whales.

I did. I never did too much when I was younger. Sometimes my family would take a trip to the beach or the larger city, but there wasn't much opportunity to travel. Too much time and money. But I found the means when I was older.

A whale looks similar to a fish in that it has fins and a tail, but it also breathes air. They are very large, much larger than Snorlax. Quite long too. I'll look for a picture of one.

I used to be a dancer. Also played the piano and helped my family with their bar. Do most trainers start as kids?

[As Ginia waits for a response, she begins searching through her books for a picture of a whale. Once she finds one, she'll put it in front of the camera so it's visible.]



That's a drawing of a whale. They come in many different shapes and sizes, but that's what one species looks like.

[Ten is surprisingly young, but with the age of training for other kids from other worlds, the age some kids get forced into the military in her world, it's not too bad.

The idea of pink lips and eyelids on a fish is a weird idea, but Ginia gets the idea.]


There's fish in my world called goldfish. They're usually goldish-orange and white, but they can come in a variety of colors too. A goldeen reminds me of those kinds of fish.

I've seen them at a distance only, but they do seem to be friendly and gentle.

I've seen someone else with one. If I see one show up in the store, I can let you know.

There are dogs and cats in my world too. Actually, my dog is here right now, give me a moment.

[Video]

[The journal switches over to video as the book shows a happy dog dog sprawled out comfortably on the ground. Ginia's hand moves into view to pat Laika's side, dog tail wagging happily.]

Her name is Laika and she's very soft. I've had her a for a few years now, raised her from a puppy.

She definitely enjoying herself. She's a good dog.

Laika is friendly, loves being pet and sleeping in the sun. She's a smart dog too and I'm glad she's here.

I'm glad you have your pokemon too.
