[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.]

Well, there's one resource for human survival down the drain. Still, the experiment will be worth it, I think. Do you know if the biting thing carries over to its evolutions?

[He nods.] Okay, then I'll pick some of those up if I see any. Does it cost anything for him to make them?

[tentacletrainer]

It might, but I believe that would depend on the Pokemon in question. John's Umbreon tends to bite him, and did so far more often when he was just an Eevee, but that may be more his opinion on his trainer than any terrible habit. At least, that's what I'm starting to think.

And please don't attempt to try the berries, even if they seem tempting. Some of them can be extremely dangerous to your health. Though, if you're trying to sleep and having troubles, a very small piece of a Chesto will likely help. Like...one that could fit in a spoon size. That's what I've been doing for a while now to combat my insomnia. There are other methods you could try first to help that if you do have troubles.

I'm not sure on costs for Kurt, though. He's...well. Picky about who he'll make Pokeballs for. He doesn't seem interested in assisting me, so I've never gotten to try. But if you want to approach him about it, I would bring at least a few thousand pokedollars just in case.

[hoperaider]

He doesn't like John very much, I take it?

Yes, I think I'll keep that in mind. Do you know if there's anything naturally grown that's safe to eat on the routes? Or maybe a place that sells survival guides? I'd hate to be stuck out in the middle of nowhere with not enough supplies to last a trip.

Well, if he has a different opinion with me, I'll be sure to tell you. Thank you very much for the advice, Rose! This is proving most helpful.

[tentacletrainer]

He seems to have a...sort of bittersweet type relationship. He likes him well enough, but I think it's some of his decisions at this point that he doesn't. In the beginning we really thought he just hated John.

As for naturally grown items, of course. The stores do sell fruits and vegetables, it's just a matter of knowing what you can and can't eat. I'm sure once you reach a town with a Pokemart you should find a guide, though I never looked for one myself. If you can't in the next one you enter, let me know though. I'll fly down to Goldenrod and pick one up for you there. If Goldenrod doesn't have, I will be completely flabbergasted.

For now though, a good idea is to stick with things you recognize, like apples or pears. You can also look into getting a fishing rod and fishing, or seeing if your Totodile can catch a few for you. Just make sure he's not catching Magikarp, Goldeen or Remoraid. You can't eat Pokemon. I'm not positive if you would want to, however. However, if you ever run out though and find yourself in desperate need, do not hesitate to call us. I have plenty of resources to spare and Pilcrow flies fast.

Please do, and no thanks are necessary Jake. Beyond being yet another captive of Johto and therefor in the same boat as everyone else, you're a friend. This is what friends are for.

[hoperaider]

Oh, dear, the poor fellow. Truly, I'd hate to see what damage this little scoundrel could do if she hated me.

Excellent! At least it means I won't have to look at completely alien produce and make an educated guess.

I...don't think I'd want to try eating a Pokemon. Neither do I have the patience for fishing, so I'd have to send out the little bugger for those sorts of errands. [He shrugs and smiles.] You're too kind! I'm starting to see where Roxy got such a trait from.

I'd like to offer the same to you, but at the moment I don't think I can, what with me being unable to fly about and the considerable distance between us.
