the Gen 1 starter can be shiny, it's one of few mons in RBY that even can be

guess who's getting shiny turtle (not me, but character wise...)

//chat this could potentially be so funny

Oh!

Pretty sure it's the anniversary of when I got my Squirtle.

...
How long's it been again-?

...Today feels important.

Huh.

The only way to go is turn your head and run

It sees into my soul.

we— will probably stick to sailing though, ngl.

"Eh, these little hat thingies seem to do the trick, apparently.
...I only know 'cause I saw a guy in red chuck one."

She just spins a sort of marketable Cappy on a finger. Literally the equivalent to a normal Ball, in this context.

...Uh.

What is this thing supposed to be, exactly?

"Fighting makes it sound like I'm running around punching guys in the face.

Battling's the thing you do with Pokemon, spacelady. It's like... a sport, I guess."

Surprisingly apt, region depending.

//this coincides way too well with my internal debating over zinnia.

hrm.

"Technically? I guess? It's not really researching or anything, I send data to an old man and he does that sort of stuff. I just do the battling."

A shrug. It's more complex than that, but surface level explanations.

You'd be surprised how normal that is, 'pparently. So yeah, your's is a little bit on the abstract side.

Still, not gonna miss an opportunity to catalogue more stuff... Oak'll be really confused when he sees THESE dex entries.

( She's stretching, clearly planning on wandering some. )

Because I still don't buy that 'Rosalina' is the name of somebody.

And psychics aren't just mind readers, they do telekinesis and all of that. I think. I try to avoid Sabrina if I can help it, so never asked.

...Right, uh-. Blue. It's Blue; my name.

"And I'm guessing Rotom's one of those ones I just... never got to bump into, huh? It from Johto, or what?"

She's not even trying to understand, because the idea of all of this is soaring over her head immensely.

So you're... just a psychic who's overly committed to the joke, gotcha. Whatever keeps you going I guess.

...Can you put me down, I'd prefer to be lifted with consent.

( Is it really so surprising that someone from the GB days does not believe in cosmic entities. )

She just... flicks it, like she's expecting it to be some kind of illusion.

"Freaky. I mean I guess it makes sense, if you do some kind of Electric-Ghost type of power method. Still weird. I'll stick to my Gear."

At least she's taking it well...?

...Are you like, a cosplayer, or what? The convention's probably at Saffron.

A serious answer, please?

"Yeah I'm not gonna buy some kind of sciencey jumbo. Silph Co. claiming they're making 'portable phones' is hard to believe as is."

She just rolls her eyes, arms folded.
Walked right out of the black-and-white, this one did.

...It just looks like a mushroom to me. I guess. Maybe a little funky but like- I think that's the comically large eyes.

. . .
So who are you--???

"...Girl, do you know how much more confused that explanation has made me.

Goombas are stuck in my NES, they aren't real. C'mon now."

Grandma is about to get multiversal whiplash.

...Uh.

What is this thing supposed to be, exactly?

...Ugh.
Bad memories tonight, courtesy of cold chills.

+ she'd be lying if she said she wasn't interested in the different 'mons Kitakami seemed to have offered. She may be more the battler type, but doesn't mean an opportunity like this isn't enticing.

The hand's... very quickly snatched away. Not in aggression, or anything like it, what he proposed was just contrarian for her.

"If it's dangerous here, then I'm definitely sticking it out until stuff's fine. People in a position like mine gotta be ready for that sort of thing."

+ nothing and makes it more of a cater to long-time fans, which naturally makes the Prologue version worse.
