[Well, Jake is currently on the road to Viridian City Violet City. He's currently resting somewhere off the road, and he looks a mite hassled.]

I've got two questions I'd like to pose at the moment. My first question is how do you feed a possessed candle when the Pokedex says that it feeds off of the life force of humans and Pokemon? Really, I'm all for survival and taking good care of your Pokemon and all that, but I'm not about to kill myself for it.

My sec--YEOWCH!

[That's about when he flails a little, sighs in exasperation, and holds up his hand. Dangling from it is a Totodile, who looks quite content to be chomping down on Jake's hand.]

How in frig's flipping sake do you get Totodiles to not bite you every time they leave the Pokeball?!

[He should've gone for the cat. But no, he wanted the cool blue alligator baby.]

A computer genius, a roboticist, and a budding Pokemon trainer. And I'm sure your last friend is equally talented in his or her own rights, too?

I hope they do find their way to you. I don't mind a little insufferability or a challenge, and I imagine the experience of meeting the four of you would be almost...nostalgic.

An amateur sleuth? It sounds as though I'd get along with all of them.

[THOSE WERE THE MAGIC WORDS, BASICALLY.]

I knew a set of extraordinary children in my own world. But I haven't been so lucky as to have them follow me here.

[Aw, Jake. What a nice thing to say.]

Who knows? Maybe I'll find them first.

And I have a feeling this won't be the last you hear from me — or from Zack, for that matter.

Mostly because I suspect he's trying to write you an executable file of manners for your Totodile as we speak.

I wouldn't want to disillusion him. He once wrote me an antivirus when I was concerned about getting sick.

But he'll understand if you want to go about it your own way. Independence and initiative are things worth encouraging in humans and Pokemon alike.

Then I can tell you that the principles of conditioning would say the way to get her to stop biting is to link the act of biting to something she finds aversive — an unpleasant noise, a bad taste. Eventually she'll start associating the two, and that should decrease the behavior.

Figuring out how to do it, on the other hand, is a mystery you'll have to unravel for yourself.
