[oh no.

that's cute.]

I'd need more time and study to really be able to qualify our newcomers, but... those certainly are endearing.

[how do they exist]

Well, it couldn't hurt to have an interesting new Grass type, even if I have absolutely no idea how well they'll fight...

[ortion]

[Kayneth's reaction is very amusing to Dist, so he's smirking when he responds.]

Aesthetically-speaking, you cannot deny that they are well above the rest. Those scented birds come close, but these are still in a different league of beauty.

That said, I had a feeling you would be interested, Kayneth. In fact, I intended to send you one if you didn't respond to this post.

[He's so thoughtful!]

But this way you get to select your own color. Any stand-outs?

[enjoymyatelier]

Oh, I won't deny that they're the most aesthetically pleasing, given that flowers are aesthetically pleasing to begin with. I do... rather like the pumpkins as well, though. They're honestly a lot more endearing than they should be.

[...he has said too much, actually, TIME TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT]

And really, you know me too well. I'd say blue for fairly obvious reasons --- color coordination is important, after all.

[ortion]

Ah, those ones that also resemble a bat? I received one from Aradia. They are something, aren't they?

[He wouldn't go so far as to call it endearing, but Kayneth has always been more of a Ghost fan.

He nods, crouching to pick up a blue one. When he's back, he holds it out in front of the 'Gear. It's quite small, neatly fitting in Dist's palm. The little creature holding onto it curiously gazes into the 'Gear as Dist talks.]

If you have a choice in the matter, then why not? Now, I obviously can't give you much information as far as name, type and moves go, but it should be a given for it to be Grass type. We'll have to share our findings as we train them.

[enjoymyatelier]

Yes, they certainly are. I'm quite interested in seeing how they turn out... but then, since they might be Ghosts, I'm admittedly a bit biased. Ah, but it's also interesting that they seem to come in different distinct sizes rather than only having minor variations... but I'm getting a bit away from the subject.

[...which is another cute thing, oh no]

Anyway, I'm certain with enough experimentation, we can find out fairly soon. I suspect if they're any good, they'll be more on the special end of things, although I'm a bit concerned being Tackled will have... somewhat disastrous results.

[ortion]

Their sizes vary? I wasn't aware of that! If you're planning to keep record, we can compare the sizes of our pumpkin creatures sometime.

[The scientists of the Pokeworld aren't going to be bored for ages with all these new Pokemon showing up.

...Also Kayneth why would you bring up that possibility.]

Ah...yes, I would recommend not using Tackle on them, or any sort of physically-intensive move for that matter. Should it happen though, we'll have to hope they have good enough evasion...

[enjoymyatelier]

Oh, of course! How large is yours, anyway? I decided to get the smallest size to see... what the benefits might be.

[DEFINITELY NOT BECAUSE IT'S CUTE]

Well, I haven't heard about anyone having some sort of a horrible accident involving their Joltik, so perhaps it isn't really that much of a problem...?

[ortion]

I haven't seen very many to make a comparison, but it's near two feet tall.

[So closer to a large size.]

True. Sometimes Pokemon are more durable than we give them credit for. Regardless, I look forward to seeing how yours turns out. Perhaps it changes depending on its color, for instance...

[enjoymyatelier]

Ah, I see... mine's much smaller than that, obviously.

[...he doesn't feel like converting metric to imperial right now so he'll leave it at that]

The worst that would happen would be it fainting, I imagine, but yes. There's a possibility the colors could just be aesthetic, but we don't know without comparing them, do we?
