[Ken is on screen, rolling the Storm badge between his fingers.]

I have four gym badges, now. That means I'm halfway to getting them all, right?

[Precocious twelve year old time.] Why does everyone get so excited about them? You're not even fighting, yourselves. My Pokemon like it, so I'll keep doing it. And I'll keep making sure they're

[ Remus will poke his face into Miles' camera and give Ken a 8( look.

BUT KEN IT'S FUN.

Shota is outside, watching Pess help Pip train. He's actually floating on the water, having discovered that pool floats are kind of awesome. ]

and by that i meant 2/2

[ And it takes Rem just a second to notice that Rom is hurt.

And then Ken gets sand screen because he is rushing in there going DDD8 ]

[Rom has a few hello skitty bandaids covering a few minor scrapes 8( She does not look so bad 8(

But she wants snuggles and is all curled up in Ken's lap. 8(

Ken kinda wants to tell Miles his gear is gonna get buried but-- |D;;;]

[ Rom is the worriedest boyfriend, crowding onto Ken's lap to cuddle Rom.

Percy is on Miles' lap, also in the water. They're very oblivious. |D ]

Congratulations, Ken-san!

But, um... The moment you start thinking about it like that is the moment you cease to have any fun at all with Pokemon battles...

[usedrage]

... Isn't that the point?

Why is it any fun? We're not the ones fighting, we're just ordering Pokemon to fight for us. They protect us, care for us, and are loyal to us and we use them to fight battles for fun. It's stupid, and they get hurt.

Oiiiii... You're kind of over thinking this, aren't you...? It's fun because it's fun. All of mine enjoy battling to varying degrees, so it's fun to watch them in their element and do what comes naturally.

If this was a normal world where them fighting actually resulted in death instead of them just passing out, I could understand having that mind set... But as it stands, it's not like they're ever in any mortal danger.

... Pokemon can die, Hayate-san.

[ctrldemons]

If you think about it like that, the fun would get sucked out.

...It's mostly from seeing how far my Pokemon have gotten against a strong team.

[usedrage]

But why is it fun in the first place? We're using them to fight for us.

[Video]

[ctrldemons]

Other than seeing how strong they've gotten? Probably seeing them come out of it as the winner, along with the tension and adrenaline from being so focused.

[Similiar yet different from the games, since Atsuro remembers that his Pokemon are real.]

[usedrage]

And when they're hurt for our rush?

[shellderkillder]

Indeed, one would think this to be a psychopath's favourite pastime, no?

[... A-Ahahahah.]

[voice]

[usedrage]

Really. And nobody seems to get it. I only go to gyms is my Pokemon want to. I'd never not ask them, or force them to go.

[voice]

[shellderkillder]

Well, Pokémon battles are the norm in this place.

[voice]

[usedrage]

But we're not from this place

[Voice]

[hallowbethylies]

That's all it is, no?

[Voice]

[usedrage]

That's all it's ever been. It's an entire world revolving around making animals fight.

[Voice]

[hallowbethylies]

But you're still fighting...

[Voice]

[usedrage]

What do you mean? The only ones who fight are the Pokemon.
