[As a Meiji era child, keeping on top of all the latest devices can be a bit of a whirlwind. It's an exciting one, though, always getting to learn something new! But for the next iteration of video calls to be.. a magical pearl...
Something feels backwards.
Rather,
Establishing a connection comes too easily the moment Akira thinks of it. Why wouldn't it? It's his own vision at first, a mess of tablets on types, moves and status effects, before he closes his eyes to seamlessly transfer to the grumpearl's perspective. Its holder is revealed to be a Slowking, the one previously bound to the clinic using his newly attained guild status to scour the archives instead. As he reopens his eyes with the view unchanged, he laughs.]
Sorryyy, force of habit.
[Sharing his own sight, and all.]
Anyway!
It seems our bodies are designed for combat, but I'm not really a fan of fighting, myself. So I've been researching Status moves instead.
A lot of them are pretty straightforward, right? Like inflicting and curing basic conditions, or boosting and suppressing our innate strengths. I'm not talking about those. More specifically, I've been learning about Terrains-- large scale effects that benefit friend and foe alike, and seem to have preventative capabilities. It sounds like some Pokemon even form these fields without thinking about it.
[So... On to the point. He soon looks determined.]
Does anyone have one? Can you show me how it works? I'm afraid I'm not strong enough yet to use one myself.
[Or to those more perceptive, maybe Psychic Terrain just isn't what he's searching for.]

Just like this next move he's hearing of!]
Trick Room? I haven't read about that one yet! I wonder how it's activated. Touch, maybe? [Like his eyes? ... No, he'd tried that back in the forest, and nothing came of it.] Ah, Pokemon seem to be will types, so maybe it's some kind of mental activation instead? I might not even have it, anyway! I wonder if it's something I can learn!

[He partially unfolds one wing for emphasis. It shouldn't be hard to imagine what sort of techniques he specializes in.]

[That's not how magic works. It's how someone too open to criticism works. After a moment,]
As a turban snail now, I should have power over the sea, and an interest in.. [Is hunting the right word? No, that's what the shell attached to him seems to have been attempting. Fascinating! Then.. something else that they're known for...] Sorry, a knack for persuasion? I wonder if that part's what being a Psychic type is?
