[ And here we have Dick sitting on his bed again with his warp band. But this time instead of a Growlithe beside him there seems to be a small Skiploom in his lap. And when we say small she's small. Probably less the half of the average size for a Skiploom. And she clearly looks very shy, trying to hide herself from the camera as Dick gives her a few words of encouragement before speaking to the warp band. ]

So hey, I have a few questions. First--

[ he picks up Pip so she can be seen more clearly on the camera. She uses her tiny little arms to hide her face but her size can still clearly be seen. ]

This is Pip. When I first bonded with her I thought her size was because she was a really young Hoppip but she didn't grow at all before evolving into a Skiploom.

[ He lowers her so she can feel comfortable again in his lap. ]

And as you can see as a Skiploom she's still really small. I think she only gained two or three inches in height. Can anyone tell me the average height of a Skiploom so I can compare? Also, how many of you also have Pokemon who are a bit different from the rest of their kind? How whelmed are they about their differences?

Just you know, a few questions for curiosity's sake.

Oh, she's cute! But actually, I can answer both of your questions. I have a Skiploom and a Pokemon that looks a little different from the others.

[ Pip makes a small noise when she hears the compliment. She's not used to them despite all the encouragement she's given from Dick. ]

Great! Think you can show me your Skiploom and the other Pokemon? Or if the Pokemon isn't comfortable with it you can just tell me. But I think it might help Pip to know that she isn't alone in being different.

I'd be happy to. Is over the Warp Band all right, or would you like to see them in person?

Video

[justbewhelmed]

Seeing the Skiploom in person would help gauge the difference. Meeting new people and Pokemon in person might also help Pip.

Video

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

That's fine. Would you like me to come to where you are?

Video

[justbewhelmed]

How about the park. If it's not too far from where you are.

[usedstringshot]

Skiplooms are usually 2 feet tall, generally. And I bonded with a gold-colored Vulpix not too long ago.

[justbewhelmed]

2 feet tall? I don't think Pip is a even a foot. [ She's really tiny. ] Right. I think I saw your message on the warp band about that. How does your Vulpix take it?

[usedstringshot]

Usually Kit doesn't really seem to think about it too much, but if someone actually talks about it she get a little bit shy, like she doesn't know how to handle people going all mushy over her fur color.

[justbewhelmed]

So she's not sure how to take the attention huh? Think she'll get used to it anytime soon?

Related - Laulyse is the only Floette I've seen with her kind of flower. [ But this isn't terribly helpful to Dick - Flabebe's claim a flower.

Right, there was something else he wanted to talk to Dick about. ]

Completely unrelated, have you found a clear space?

[ Also, its totally the warp band's video that makes his hair look a tiny bit shiner than usual. Totally that. ]

Video

[justbewhelmed]

True. I haven't seen any other Floettes with a flower like her's.

[ But enough about that when Duke mentions the other thing ]

Yeah! I found a nice spot just nearby the park I think we could use.

[ He raises an eyebrow at the shiny hair. Hm. Gonna have to bring that up when they see each other in person. ]

[ The potentially much more fun thing- ]

... Ought to be good around now? Or say, half hour from?

[ To give time to find the place and also find which notebook is good for notes, get all the pokemon fed and explained to- ]

Video

[justbewhelmed]

Half hour sounds good.

[ Gives them both time to prepare and get there yep ]

I'll see you there!

[ And see if it's just the screen making your hair shiny or if your hair is actually shiny! ]

Video -> action

[radiantwingedone]

Good.

[ Duke isn't entirely sure which side of the park he ought to be on, but well, he's distinctive enough.

He has a drifloon with a basket of notebook and pencils, and his other pokemon are hanging around him. ]

Willow's a Gloom that grows moss on herself. It's a religious thing.

Re: [ Video ]

[justbewhelmed]

A religious thing? What kind of religion around here has anything to do with moss?

[ It's offscreen but there is a scoff from Dick's side. His Leafeon totally knows what this is about. ]

[ Video ]

[makeitquick]

The Moss Rock out in the forest. Guess it's a place all grass types need to go at least once, and she's a devotee.

[ Video ]

[justbewhelmed]

[ Dick glances off screen over to his Leafeon. ]

So is that why you were at the Moss Rock?

[ Another scoff from Leaf. How dare you think he's one of those devotees. ]

Heh. Doesn't sound like all grass types have the same thoughts.

[ Video ]

[makeitquick]

I can only talk for what Willow thinks... and she's kinda fanatictastic.

[What the fuck is whelmed? Boy, are you making your own language? Robinese?]

Don't know about the size of Skiplooms, but I have a Venonat thats smaller than normal too. About a foot smaller.

Re: video;

[justbewhelmed]

[ He's totally making his own language and no one's going to stop him! ... Not really he just likes butchering the english language let's go with that. ]

A small Venonat huh? Do you know the normal size they're supposed to be?

video;

[darkbreak]

[...Weirdest thirteen year old rich kid ever.]

A little under five feet? She barely clocks in at four.

[justbewhelmed]

[ Hey he has his cool moments. ]

--Wait. Five feet? [ That may or may not be around his height jfc ] But a whole foot smaller huh? How does she take it.

Re: video;

[darkbreak]

[Yeah, swinging around like a Mankey and naming himself after a bird. Way cool.]

Venonat aren't small, surprisingly. [There'a some nervous chirping in the background, off camera. Riku, are you talking about her and her shortness D: not cool, man.] Dunno to be honest. Only one other person that I know of has a Venonat and he's pretty shy. She can be a nervous wreck though. Maybe she thinks that a Pidgeys going to get her now.
