[Coraline is at work. She has decided work is boring. Work means being cooped up in a Pokemart all day long, where Pokemon battles are not allowed, and neither are Pokemon races or attempting to climb the shelves.
... What? She was trying to get a pair of Go-Goggles for a customer, obviously. Geez.
She only has one escape from boredom-- the Pokegear

[Raz is resting -- with his new baby Drifloon trying to get the attention of his silent Kadabra behind him (however, the Kadabra seems interested in the message, and thusly is looking in the direction of the camera). And, shockingly enough -- the goggles aren't fastened to his face.]

[... And then she gets a little look at the Kadabra. She stares at it, head tilted to one side.]
... Hey, is that a new Pokemon?

--Hm? Oh, you mean A? [he asked, looking behind him.] Yeah, I caught her before I caught a case of those week long sleeps. But I think she's broken. I can't get into her mind or anything.

Can't g... Wait, did you get your powers back?

That was a great story, Coraline! You should write another.

She grins in triumph, arms folded.] Maybe I will! [Beat; she glances around the Pokemart.] But I think work is stunting my creative flow. [Quoting her parents? Yup.]

Yeah, like... [She reaches over to her side, retrieving a notepad and quickly flipping through the pages. Soon, she's displaying a crude drawing of an Unown C to Isa... which is just the letter "C" with a circle in its center.] They looked sorta like this. But there were lots of them drawn all over the walls... Like cave paintings or hieroglyphs or something.
It's all kinda creepy. [Which intrigues her, evident by the excited smile on her face.]

And a grin lights up on her face again.] I bet it's got something to with ancient civilizations of Johto or something! We can figure out where all the Pokemon came from and how all these people started being trainers and everything!

My next story's about a jerkwad that gets eaten by an Ursaring after she badmouths someone's storytelling. Does that sound less boring?

Oooh that one does sound better! Sounds like one of those... good lesson stories! Lemme read it, kay?

.... Pokeball hands don't sound like they'd be very useful.

That's sorta the point! And that's why you shouldn't get too obsessed with anything-- bad things happen. That's the moral. [She grins and nods sagely.]
... But you could catch Pokemon by punching them. [Shrug.] Which... could be easier than battling, I guess. [A frown. Her storytelling is not quite effective enough, it seems.]
Reply
... No lie, I could actually go for being able to catch Pokemon by punching them.
[She grins back, thoroughly amused by the concept.]
Anyway. On a different note... you said you were wonderin' about those ones that looked like letters?
Reply
Yeah, the ones with those googly eyes.
