[Video] 02nd Page

[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.]

SHE LEARNS BY
S O U N D

ONE SOUND MEANS GO
L E F T
AND ONE SOUND MEANS GO
R I G H T

SHE IS VERY GOOD AT THAT GAME !

BEEP BOP BOOP

MY NAME IS ZACK
ZACK ZACK ZACK

H E L L O

That makes sense!
And i never thought about turning it into a game.
I think the pokedex said that totodiles are playful yes?

Hello zack!
Im jake! Its a pleasure to meet you!

GAMES ARE A GOOD WAY TO LEARN !

LEARNING IS FUN
AND GAMES ARE TOO

JAKE DO YOU LIKE
T R I V I A L
P U R S U I T ???

THAT IS THE GAME I LIKE TO PLAY !

BUT

I DON'T THINK IT IS A VERY GOOD GAME
FOR A TOTODILE

Exactly!
I dont see why learning cant be a game too you know?

Trivial pursuit?
I dont think ive played that game before.
Ive heard of it surely but never had a chance to try my hand at it.
You may be right about it not being such a good game for a totodile but im sure there are others she may like.

YES !
LEARNING IS IMPORTANT

JAKE DID YOU KNOW
THOSE WHO FORGET HISTORY
ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT ???

BEEP BOP BOOP

I KNOW LOTS OF GAMES TOO

BUT THEY ARE GOOD GAMES FOR ME
AND NOT FOR A TOTODILE

No i didnt.
What brought that up?

Well maybe i can come up with a game that involves biting and swimming?
Do you have any idea what else a totodile might need to learn?

IT MEANS
IT IS OKAY TO MAKE MISTAKES
BUT YOU SHOULD LEARN FROM THEM !

MY TRAINER SAYS THAT A LOT

AND I THINK YOUR TOTODILE NEEDS TO
L E A R N
BETTER MANNERS

HAHAHA

[omg he's talking to a Pokemon jfdksla this is AWESOME]

Your trainer is very wise then!
Perhaps ill meet him or her one day.

Hah! Yes thats most certainly true!
Ill have to see what i can do about fixing her into a proper lady.

[SURPRISE. Though his trainer does tend to monitor his internet activities these days so there is a fair chance she might not be far off herself...]

YES

SHE IS VERY SMART
AND TALENTED
AND PRETTY
AND BUSY !!!

SO IT IS MY TURN TO PLAY

BEEP BOP BOOP

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO FIX HER
IS SHE BROKEN ???

ERROR: (A)BORT, (R)ETRY, (F)AIL ?

She sounds like a wonderful person i wouldnt mind meeting at some point.
What pokemon are you zack?

I think her manners are broken personally.

ZACK ZACK ZACK IS A
P O R Y G O N 2

THE
V I R T U A L
POKEMON !

I TALK TO THE GEAR
AND IT TALKS TO ME TOO

JAKE CAN YOU REINSTALL HER MANNERS ???
MAYBE THAT WILL FIX IT

Oh cool!
I take it you handle your trainers messages and things?

Well if reinstalling them doesnt work i think i can work around them.

Oh, no, I'm perfectly capable of handling those myself. Like right now, for example.

So you're Zack's new friend. He's very excited about you.

[fdjsakl He feels like he just got caught gossiping.]

Ahaha i can see that.

Yes im jake.
I take it youre his trainer?

[Hey, man, she is a good parent, she supervises his internet activity and keeps tabs on who he's talking to like a good mom should.]

That's right. My name is Carmen Sandiego.

I appreciate your talking to him; he's had good luck with his network friends so far, but not everyone would be so kind to a curious Porygon.

[Beware mama bear Carmen.]

Its a pleasure miss sandiego!

Ill admit that i have a hard time understanding why.
Zacks friendly and nice to talk to really.
And ill admit that its pretty interesting to actually talk to a pokemon!

[The patron saint of educating children.]

Carmen is fine, unless you'd like to stand on formality — in which case I'll need a full introduction from you.

He's had a lot of practice at interacting with people. In the beginning, he used to sneak online when he thought I wasn't paying attention and tell jokes to the network at large. These days, he goes on with permission, but in exchange I keep up on who he's talking to.

Carmen it is.

That seems fair.
If things go south for poor zack then you could step in to head it off

I usually do. But that isn't why I stopped in to say hello this time.

Oh good i thought i had somehow gotten on the wrong foot with you!

Not in the least. I just thought I'd dispel the notion early on that I treat Zack as a glorified answering machine. He knows he's not, but articulating it succinctly is, as yet, a little out of his league.

Oh i see!
I was simply curious since he says he talks to your gear?
Or lives in it im not sure which is more accurate.

They're both accurate, actually. Porygon is the Virtual Pokemon — the very first artificially-created Pokemon. Most Pokemon find their natural habitat in the wild; his, you could say, is inside a computer.

He can enter a PokeGear the same way a Rotom can enter appliances — or the way a ghost might possess a body, I suppose, though it may be too soon for that particular metaphor these days — and interact with the network directly. For a bird whose native language is binary, I'd expect "talking to it" is the best way he knows how to describe what it is he does.

Whoa cool!

That makes sense.
I have a good friend whos a computer coding genius so i think she might be interested in learning more about porygon in general.
Im sad to say that she hasnt yet arrived.

You're confident she'll follow you here. She must be quite the friend, to inspire such conviction.
