Who: ANYONE AND EVERYONE Where: ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE When: May 29 - 31 Summary: GET IN HERE AND MINGLE Rating: BUT PLEASE MARK YOUR THREAD CONTENT ACCORDINGLY Log:
[Ralph strolls toward the ball and stoops down to snatch it up. Bossy instantly attacks his arm because she wants the fire dog to come OUT so she can whup on it some more. Ralph lets out a garbled cry and swings his arm around as Bossy assaults him with a Poison Sting. WHY WAS IT ALWAYS WITH THE POISON STING???]
[Biting back tears, he approaches the space man and holds out the little white and red ball.]
All yours, pal. You'll have ta do a lotta guesswork though without a Poke'Gear. Can't help you there.
[He leans in to point to the button in the center.]
That right there. Hold it down once to make the ball smaller. Hit it again to expand it. To get 'em to come out, just throw it and call for 'em. Sometimes they just pop out on their own.
All you gotta do is call 'em. If they like you, they'll do what you say no sweat. Dont let 'em fool you though. They aren't just animals. They're scary smart. I gotta put something on this sting before my hand swells up .
[He turns from the battlefield to dejectedly tromp back toward civilization. Bossy remains behind and stares up at Space Cadet. He's such a mystery to her. And she really wants to beat the crap out of that poor Growlithe pup again.]

Hey! Are you okay?
[He carefully takes the Pokeball from him, inspecting it as he talks.]
Thanks, I appreciate it. Maybe somebody 'round here's got an extra or somethin'.
'Bout the puppy, though, since you caught it, doesn't that mean it'll only listen to you?
[From the other Ralph's description of things, he had made the assumption that whoever defeated a Pokemon was the person that had control over it.]

Don't worry about it. 'Sides, a few of mine were gifts too.
no subject
Oh. So, they can just be given to people without any problems?
Also, uh, how do I get it out of the ball?
[He's investigating it and he looks like he might almost attempt to shake the Pokeball in order to get the Growlithe to come out.]

Okay, so the button changes its size and you toss the ball to get 'em to come out, got it.
[He's about to throw the Pokeball when another thought occurs to him. He pauses.]
Er, once they're out, how do I put 'em back in? Do I throw the ball at 'em again?

Sounds simple enough, wonder if this one likes me...
[He winces.]
Good luck, I'll be right 'round here.
[Ralph looks down at Bossy, he doesn't realize that she's got it out for his new Pokemon and he wants to get to learn it better.
So, he chucks the ball a few feet away.]
How's it supposed to go? Come on out, dog-thing?
[The act of throwing the Pokeball was enough to summon the Growlithe, despite the awkward phrase that came with it.
It pops out and shakes itself, still feeling a little rough from its battle.
Ralph watches it, not really sure what to do next.]
