Who else is awake?

Does anyone want a free Pokemon?

What are you giving away?

Text/Audio

[beholdmydemons]

A fish called Basculin. Someone's already claimed it, if they can figure out how the peace ease work.

[-are you fucking kid-OKAY FINE brief switch to audio, then back. Don't wanna cause too much noise this late at night.]

PCs. The damned PCs.

[Being this tired and grouchy helps with the "keeping your voice low" thing.]

Voice

[struck_out]

I know what PCs are! You don't have to fucking yell.

[Leon doesn't do this quiet voice thing very well either, but he's just had a nightmare and it's keeping him somber.]

Who the hell doesn't know what a PC is? You sure you wanna give your fish to this idiot?

Voice

[beholdmydemons]

I don't...give a damn who gets it. [He says it mid-yawn, sounding sullen.] So long as it's gone. Suppose he's new here. Why, do you want it?

Perma-voice

[struck_out]

Hold on, let me check it out.

[BRB looking up the Pokedex.]

...holy fuck, we can eat this thing? Shit, that's just...urgh. It's kinda funny though; this fish reminds me of someone I know. You got the red one or the blue one?

[beholdmydemons]

[Walter laughs, but he doesn't actually sound amused.] That's a lie if I've ever heard one. I've tried. You'd lose fingers trying to clean it, never mind cook it.

Red.

[struck_out]

You tried to eat your own Pokemon!? Dude that's fucked up. You're not supposed to eat your Pokemon, what the hell is wrong with you?

Well if the dumbass you're trying to give it to can't figure out how to use the PC, give it to me. I can think of someone who'd get along with it.

[beholdmydemons]

....It's a fish. [why is this so baffling to people what else do you do with fish

he'll get back to the giving it away thing later just why is the concept of eating a fish so foreign to you]

[struck_out]

It's a Fish Pokemon. You're not supposed to eat Pokemon! You're supposed to train'em and develop all that friendship shit with them. And anyway, what if Pokemon are poisonous to humans? Like, if you eat it, you could end up dying or something. Maybe there's a special way of preparing it, I dunno, but...it's still really fucked up to think of eating Pikachu!

[beholdmydemons]

A fish with a funny name is still a fish. And didn't that thing just say they're safe to eat?

[struck_out]

And I'm tellin' ya, it's not just a fish, it's a Fish POKEMON. It's like eating your own pet dog, or cat, or whatever you have back home.

[beholdmydemons]

[Oh, the irony. If he felt like explaining Food demons...]

You don't eat dogs because they do something useful, and this fish is no use to me.

[struck_out]

[Don't give him further nightmares Walter.]

Well I'm not an animal person but people have pets because their lonely and shit. Pets are supposed to be like, I dunno, friends, when you've got no one to turn to.

I mean, it sounds lame and stupid. But...sometimes, people just judge you and shit. So it's hard to talk with'em, but with Pokemon, they just listen. It's good to have someone who supports you 100%, even after all the crazy shit you've done.

[beholdmydemons]

[....well

that was


something]

...Can't say I've ever done that. [It sounds ridiculous, honestly. Animals don't listen; they're stupid, and they just do what they do. And Pokemon are...well, Pokemon are...]

All the men I knew with dogs had them for guarding or hunting or herding. Cats to keep the mice out of the grain. And Pokemon are for fighting, the way I see it. I'll look after the ones I use to live in this world. [And Basculin isn't one of them.]

I'll send you the fish when the sun's up.

[struck_out]

I know, I didn't believe it either until I-

...shit. Look, I'll just take the damn fish, OK!?

A-and it's not like I did something like that myself. Got it? Don't want you getting the wrong idea and all. I can handle things just fine!

[beholdmydemons]

[...you know, if people have that kind of attitude about their feelings...no wonder they talk to dogs.]

If you say so. [He heaves a sigh, and there's a fabric thumping noise that's probably him lying down.] Hah...damn, but I'm finally rid of the thing.

[struck_out]

Why'd you want to get rid of it so badly anyway? It try to bite you? The entry says it's kinda aggressive, but I thought it was only towards the blue Basculines.

[beholdmydemons]

It's been a nuisance to look after for so long, is all.

[....]

...Tch. I want to stay awake, let's talk about battles. Have you fought any of those Gym Leaders?

[struck_out]

No shit. I don't wanna go back to sleep just yet either.

I fought Falkner. He wasn't so tough! Beat the crap outta his bird Pokemon with my Dino dude. It was pretty easy. Right now I'm thinkin' of takin' on that bug kid, how hard is it to squash a couple of bugs? Plus Keisuke's a fire type so he'll just burn those insects to a crisp, no sweat.

[beholdmydemons]

I like fire Pokemon. They have the upper hand against grass, metal, and ice, too. [Not that Walter studies, but he remembers what's relevant to his own activities.] There's supposed to be a grass gym in a city here in Kanto, I've heard.

What Pokemon is that Keisuke?

[struck_out]

Yeah, they're pretty badass! They look really cool too; kinda goofy when they're younger but when you level'em up they turn up the punk!!

Monferno, but he's gonna evolve soon to Infernape.

[Yes, he actually went to do some homework.]

[beholdmydemons]

[He looks it up.

....It looks like Wu Kong with his ass on fire.]

Fire...and Fighting? [Nice.] Not bad at all. I'd like to train one.

My Houndour evolved just yesterday. It strikes an imposing figure, now.

[struck_out]

They're pretty hard to find too! I haven't seen anyone else with one either. Too bad, huh? It's really lucky I got him! But there's this thing called 'breeding', so I guess I could give you an egg if this guy ever hooks up with someone.

Houndour? That's...

[Looking up the Pokemon on his side.]

Woah, the hell? It grew up all fierce! I gotta get me one of these some time!

[beholdmydemons]

["This thing called breeding"? Are you five?]

As fierce as they look, supposedly they're all about as sociable as mine. They heed commands well, too. [Pack creatures and all.]

[struck_out]

I haven't had any problem with getting my Pokemon to listen to me, but I might still get a Houndour anyway. It's just too cool not to be in my team. What else you got? I don't have that many yet, 'cause I've got high standards for my Pokemon!!
