[Today, Kinzo has decided to fend for himself - his Wingull, as always, perched on his shoulder. He's arrived in Cherrygrove, bought himself an Old Rod, and gone fishing - just as an manly man like himself would think to do. After all, that bento can only hold a person for so long. The problem is, he found, after obtaining the fish of his desires...]

There's something wrong with the fish here. [Kinzo's face is one of annoyance with just a bit of shock mixed in. Seriously, Johto? You're denying him a proper meal? Come on now.] You can't eat them. In fact, you can't even break through their scales. No matter what I try, it just...

[Kinzo turns the camera over to a Magikarp, flopping around on the ground next to him. He stares at it, as if wondering if all of this is truly real for the first time since his arrival. Timeline dissaray and magic and monsters are one thing, but he can't eat fish? That's just unreal. The Magikarp, meanwhile, continues to flop. Karp Karp Karp. Magikarp.]

Tell me. Should I just release this "Magikarp" back into the wild or keep it? Its level is a few higher than Gen's is right now, but Gen was still able to beat it down well enough for me to capture it with relative ease.

[The Magikarp flops around on the ground in front of him, as if hurt that her new master would even suggest releasing her. Alas, she cannot properly portray how offended she is. Look at that Magikarp flop.]

... It doesn't even appear to need water to survive. [Kinzo shakes his head, sighing.] What a strange, strange fish.

How does one even eat in this land? If all of the animals are like this, I can't imagine how you all have managed to survive for so long.

One of them flops around all useless and shit, and the other--

-- well, I guess Magi-whatevers do that too. Shit, I don't know, you can eat one and can't eat the other?

[he chuckles]

If that's the only difference, there are a lot of fish that aren't fish at all given how poisonous they are.

It ain't like those fish fit into pokeballs or learn how to beat the shit out of each other with specialized attacks.

Hoh. And you know this because you'd tried? I know I haven't. I do know the animal kingdom can be particularly brutal all the same.

The animal kingdom can't breathe fire. Or cause earthquakes.

And because of that we should assume that what would otherwise be a member of the animal kingdom is not?

Have you seen these things fight yet? Or do you need a demonstration?

Actually, a demonstration would be appreciated.

If you say so, old man.

[and the camera swings down to show her Ivysaur, staring at the camera happily as it tries to wag its non-existence tail]

Hey, you. Do the vine thing.

[Ivysaura tilts his head, and Minatsuki grumps] The vine thing, you idiot!

[And finally it seems to understand, and a pair of vines whip out of the budding flower on its back, right toward the camera... which then falls back as Minatsuki ducks the Vine Whip]

Hey! Shit, watch where you're aimin' those things!

... [What a... rude child.]

It looks like it needs a few more lessons.

[Picking herself up and dusting off her bum]

Tch... it's like she gets dumber every day.

With words of encouragement like that, maybe it wasn't an accident.

Naaah. Primmy doesn't have a mean bone in her body. It's weird.

It certainly sounds like it. She must care for you.

... tch.

Yeah, I guess so.

The feeling isn't mutual?

I didn't say that.

I see. Forgive my assumption.

She's all right. Kinda useful.

In what ways?

She's a fighter. Pretty eager about it, too.

Aren't all of these creatures?

That's what I said.

How interesting. I'll have to capture the right ones accordingly.
