[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.]

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.

[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.

[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.

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

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.

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.

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