[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.

Hoh. Are there differences between them?

Of course they evolve into different pokémon... Feebas can also learn some new attacks using Technical Machines, while Magikarp can't.

Other than that they are quite alike.

Hmmm... In that case, however, it seems as though Feebas has the advantage over Magikarp, provided you have Technical Machines. Is that correct?

Yes, but you still need much patience to train one, since they will still be naturally weaker than other pokémon.

Indeed. I observed that when Gen and I fought her to begin with. How shall I make it stronger, in that case?

Magikarp don't learn real damaging attacks until they are a high enough level... However one can also learn from surviving a fight.

You can send out your Magikarp first, and then let Gen handle the rest of the fight. That should help her to learn a bit each time.

A good analogy.

Interesting... I'll have to do that. [he nods] Is this what you're doing for your Feebas as well?

That was what I did at the beginning of her training, I then moved on to letting her have her own fights from time to time.

Pokemon grow faster when they fight on their own, but they don't get much learning from being defeated, so it's important to have a balance... And to take many potions just in case.

Indeed. True of any creature, not just these.

... Potions... Those things they were selling in the store?

Yes, that's correct. Potions can heal a pokemon, which really helps when training weaker ones.

They sound useful. I'll have to stock up on them for the Magikarp.

Yes, it's always good to have a few in hand when training or traveling.

I'll have to keep this in mind next time I stop somewhere.

All the cities have pokémarts, you can buy them there.

When we arrive in Violet, I'll do that.

That sounds like a good enough plan. I'll take a few extra when I go meet you.

... Thank you very much. I'll be sure to pay you back in Violet.

It's fine, consider it as a welcome present.

Hoh. As gracious as that is, I insist you allow me to return the favor.

I will accept that gladly once you are settled down, is that fine?

Very well. I'll need to settle in quickly, in that case.

I'll be waiting.

I won't keep you long.

Have a safe travel.

Likewise. I'll see you soon.
