pokeboy | [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!!!

Wow, that's super cool!

It so is! She's bigger 'n' better than ever!

What was she like before this?

She was way smaller than she is now! But she's had two forms before this, since pokémon can go through a thing called an evolution! She was called a bulbasaur first, then an ivysaur.

The big flower you saw on her back used to be closed up really tightly, and it was just green! I don't have any pictures 'less you want me to do a drawing on the journal, but when she was a bulbasaur I could pick her up in my arms. That's how much smaller she was!

Wow, she musta grown a lot while she bloomed.

[He's not familiar with Pokemon but suddenly he wants to be]

[ Don't worry, Red will be here to ramble away the details for him! ]

Evolution is instantaneous! But she trained hard to do it. They say there's signs when an ivysaur is getting close to evolving, like a sweet smelling coming from her flower. She still has that now; it's really nice.

But the thing about evolution is that one moment they're standing there, then they're covered in a white light and the whole of their body changes shape! Not all pokémon become really big, but venusaurs do.

Wow, that's so cool! It's... kinda like magic, almost?

[Or preting, with the white light, but it's just the one Pokemon...]

Hmm... I guess. It's weird to think of it like magic since it's a thing nearly all pokémon can go through.

Well... that could just mean that all Pokemon are magical!

[He doesn't know anything about Pokemon, it makes about as much sense as any explanation.]

Uhh. I guess pokémon are pretty magical compared to all the other animals I've seen here. But to us, they're just pokémon! But they can do different things depending on their typing!

What's typing?

[All these new things!]

Typing's... what a pokémon is? It's part of the pokémon. Like Venusaur- she's a grass and poison type because she's part plant. So other pokémon with plants are going to be a grass type too. Does it make sense that way to you?

OH!

[Suddenly it all makes sense. This is something he really understands.]

It's like the different kinds of Leafe!

Huh? ...wouldn't they all be grass types?

[ Leaves?? ]

[Everyone always thinks he means leaves...]

No, Leafe is what gives life its... aliveness. There's seven different kinds, plant's just one of them. I can control water Leafe!

So... you're like a magic user?

[ That's what it sounds like!? ]

A lot of people here think so...

[He'd never thought of it like that really]

You don't?

[ Also is their conversation swapping sides here. ]

At home Leafe is just how life works. I can't remember not being able to control the water. Magic seems more like... something from the outside, instead.

Well, that's how it must look like to a lot of people here, right? Like you think pokémon are magical, but that's just how they are! And then Leafe is just what your world is like too!

I wonder if every world has things like that?

You mean something that seems magical to another world?

Yeah... I guess all our worlds must be really different for that to happen.

Yeah. Some worlds don't have anything like magic at all, not in any form. It's strange hearing how different all the other worlds are, but it's interesting too.

There's a lot to learn about. It's really neat!
