Um, Sir Brock, I gotta question. I was talkin to Goose, and he mentioned you were something called a gym leader. What's that mean?

[Oh, phew. Okay. He is making sense.]

Okay, well...there are different species of Pokemon, like Onix or Charizard or Lapras, but each of them has a different...element, I guess. That's they're type. Like Onix is a rock type, so it learns moves like rock slide and things like that.

...They learn moves? What do the look like?

[Bing! Brock has an idea. He brings a hand to his belt and produces a red and white sphere about the size of a softball. A button is pressed, and a flash of red light reveals a bipedal horseshoe-crab type creature with a broad, flat head, and two scythes for arms. It peers into the video feed curiously.]

This is Kabutops. He's one of my Pokemon, a rock and water dual-type.

[Brock. Brock she is just staring at that thing like WHAT THE HELL IS IT]

...w-what is it!?

[No she didn't hear what you said]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

This is Kabutops! He's one of my Pokemon.

[shysentinel.livejournal.com]

He's...real big, and looks kinda mean.

Wh-what can he do? Can he change into a human?

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

He's gentle, I promise. He's actually kind of shy.

No, I never taught him the move that would let him do that. I asked him, and he said he didn't want to learn it.

[shysentinel.livejournal.com]

..I thought all Pokemon could do that. Huh. So ya actually have to teach em?

...Alright. Hi, Kabutops. [small wave]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

No, they have to be given a special item or taught a move, yeah.

[Kabutops snorts.]

[shysentinel.livejournal.com]

Oh. That's interesting...

Um, so what type does Ms. Misty train? She said she did Pokemon studies?

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

It's a little confusing at first, but pretty easy to pick up on once you figure it out.

She's a water-type specialist.

[shysentinel.livejournal.com]

I hope so.

What other types are there? I just remembered Ms. Erika has this thing that looks like it's carrying some sorta yellow fruit. Can't remember what she called it. What's it's type?

[CURIOUS so very]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

Oh! Erika trains grass types. You probably ran into Tropius.

[shysentinel.livejournal.com]

Tro...pius. A grass type Pokemon...So they're all like plants?

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

For the most part, yes.

[shysentinel.livejournal.com]

Which ones aren't, I wonder...
