[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.]
technusrulez: (GAH!)

...It seems we have misunderstood each other. I was caught off guard by your tone- but I, of all people, should know that tone is not everything!

What I meant was not about people who shall not take help- it was about the Pokemon with those abilities getting to take time off.

Also! I have no clue who you are! Aside from what you have shared so far!

[Technus's emotions flood the connection- anger, annoyance, and a sense of "how dare you, I know better than you." Technology is something he has strong opinions on.]

Even animals can benefit from advanced technology! Their long term health will be assisted by my devices, not hindered. You cannot stop me! I, Technus, will advance this world beyond their wildest dreams!

[...Technus immediately disconnects. He's figured out how to do that, at least.

Although it's probably more of an answer than not doing anything would be.]
