ＶＩＤＥＯ ⁄ ＮＥＷ ＢＡＲＫ ＴＯＷＮ。
( route's newest arrival isn't pleased, but for all the plethora of reactions one can experience in a new world... armin arlert is rather calm. he crouches at a water's edge, arm folded over his knees. his hair is wet, appearing longer than usual, and his chin is scraped raw. if someone mistakes him for a girl... well, it wouldn't be the first time. he sighs. )
How would you train a weak, ah, Pokémon? ( foreign, the question in the word itself. ) I understand they learn through battle, but can they learn through... Mm, exercises? ( the answer seems obvious, to be honest, but armin won't assume in the given circumstances. he doesn't want to waste the time, either, and this is an important step to integrating himself into this world. ) I think it would be more beneficial than risking serious injury or worse...
( — a splash of water, raining droplets over the screen. armin lowers the gear, revealing an upside picture of... a fucking magikarp. he smiles, though no one can see. softer, ) Don't worry. I use to be weak, too.

usual?]
I think we'll be staying here for now, yeah. It's a huge city and we've only been here for a little over two weeks, so... Let's just call it our usual location for now.
[unless they go get Armin from Violet or something, but that's not for her to decide.]
video; a whole lotta nothin' in that meta for u.
If I leave now... — are you and the corporal trainers?
( it's obvious goldenrod is the largest location on the map. a natural choice, then. but he wonders what is unique to cities in this world, and one so large, and will he find something useful as a rookie trainer interested in the badge challenge? archer might consider it a rumor, but if defeating the elite four does trigger the same mechanism responsible for their arrival... would people know? is it immediate? that would generate reports, after all. but if not... rumors begin somewhere. armin is satisfied with this clue, if it can be called as much, all things considered. )
video; but reading meta is fun

U, uh. Yes! It must be interesting to be a breeder. You can learn a lot about these, mm, animals through their development.
video;
and just a bit horrifying-- so, not because most people find it horrifying or something else, that's not another word for cute.This girl here is not trying to think about how she's supposed to ... breed... pokemon babies with corporal Levi. Nope, let's not go to that part, while she's still letting pokemon grow up a bit.
OKAY, BUT THIS CONVERSATION HERE WAS GOING SOMEWHERE?]
Um, yeah I think so? We haven't really started yet. [well except Levi got accidental kittens.] But we both have this guide and I'm trying to keep up with our pokemon on this notepad [here, have breeders guide book and her notepad with breeding notes on screen.] to know what w-- they can do. So yes, there's a lot to learn!
[NOT 'WE', nope. Except it should be less accidental and more done on purpose maybe, so technically it's 'we' letting them do stuff, right?? NOPING OUT OF THINKING ABOUT THIS, BYE.
Just look at her cute handwriting and all those different colors for pokemon types ok ok.
one day I'll actually make a real example of this paper to her journal but it's not todayAnd yes, she makes breeding notes for them both, Levi doesn't need to bother to think about that stuff or at least not bother to write it down!]video;
Does that mean breeders are given a starter, too?
video;
Yes! Mine's -- [moving the gear to show a Swablu.] this bird, she's a Swablu. Corporal Levi got a cat.
video;
( guess who thrashes in irritation and splashes armin again. )
video;
I guess so. Someone told me she'll become one of the strongest types around here.
[... hello splash.] So, that explains your wet hair then?

( as he sets the trainer's book aside to dig through his supplies. and then, reveals the smaller of the two towels given to arrivals. he drops it on his head as if this solves the problem. teenagers. )
video;
[...suddenly reminded of her own arrival by those towels, because she sure needed a shower back then, but... nope, not going to that now! She's giving him a sharp look. Oh you --]
Armi~iiiiiiin. [don't do that, well don't just leave it at that, mister!!]
video;
Better?
video;
Look at that smile, that comes with a little laugh from Petra though!]
Yes. Much better!
video;
Is that Swablu?
video;
Yeah. She does this all the time, mostly for fun or something. But also to get to know who I'm talking to.
[Or because she's a curious bird and needs to know these things! How else would the bird know who she's supposed to be looking for once you're in the same area!
...bird, they have these devices to keep contact about locations, so maybe they won't need your help this time.]

I'm not sure how well it shows on screen, but I'm sure she won't mind demonstrating this to you once we're in the same place.
video;
Oh. I should go before it gets late.

( wait, what if he wants a private conversations on this thing? is it possible? how does he do that? — oh, too late. the screen is dark again. how do we gear??? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
