[As Jinxie's Warp Band begins to broadcast, all that can be seen is a close-up picture of the grinning face of a Rotom, the sound of electricity popping and crackling across the feed as the picture stabilizes. Jinxie herself, for the moment, is nowhere to be seen. As the Rotom floats backward, still staring into the camera, it becomes apparent that it's dragged the Warp Band out to an open courtyard - the one behind the Kurain Manor, for anyone familiar with the area.]

Rotoooooooommmmm...

[The happy little ghost buzzes out its name as it floats over to a curious item sitting on a nearby pedestal. For Engineers or anyone familiar with mechanics, it appears to be part of a large engine. With an amused little snicker, the Rotom merges itself into the engine's form, which begins to shake and move of its own accord as the Pokemon's familiar grinning face appears on the engine itself, surrounded by a translucent silvery aura of electricity.]

Rotom! Ro-ro!

[Floating up a few inches off the ground now, Engine Rotom looks back at the feed before it casts its gaze up to the sky, gathering a large ball of energy in front of it the same color as the aura it's surrounded by. And after a few moments, the energy explodes forth as an impressive large beam of light, streaking off into the sky. Looking quite pleased with itself, it floats back over to the camera, eagerly chirping its name.]

...Sparky? Sparky, are you all right? I heard a noise from the shower!

[And that's when Jinxie appears on the feed, a towel wrapped around her midsection and a second one around her hair, looking worried as she makes her way over to her Pokemon.]

What are you doing out-

[She's halfway toward the Pokemon when she sees her Warp Band sitting on the pedestal. And realizing it's currently broadcasting, she screams, blushing fiercely as she runs over to it to switch it off.

Replies will come, but they'll come in a few minutes once she's shaken off the embarrassment and looking more modest!]

They have similar attacks and things, but even then there's a lot one Pokemon can do that another one can't. And even with the same type of Pokemon, they can have really different personalities. My Dusclops is nothing like my cousin Maya's, for example.

Huh.. [ Maki is contemplative, she's never really thought much of Pokemon, but knowing that, it makes her feel a little better, especially about her own nature. ]

I didn't know that.

Are you a new trainer?

[She seems pretty new.]

Not really... I don't have any Pokemon.

Oh. You just seemed curious, is all.

[ Maki takes a few moments to collect her thoughts then adds quietly: ]

I-I guess I am.

I don't mind if you want to ask some more questions about them.

So....what do you feed your Pokemon then?

It depends on the Pokemon. Some of them don't even eat at all.

They don't eat? How does that work? Everyone needs to eat..

Well, it's more like they don't eat what we would think of as food. Sparky back there eats electricity.

Oh...I didn't think of that. What happens if you're away from the city?

They stay in the Pokemon habitat the rest of the time. Or some of them just live here in my house.

I guess that makes sense. But they don't make a mess of your house?

Not really. I made sure they know where they can and can't go. Sunny and Quark actually help to keep papa's artwork safe.

Sunny and Quark? Which ones are those?

A Solrock and a Sigilyph. Have you heard of those before?

No I haven't. I never really learned much about Pokemon.

I could go find them if you want to see what they look like. I'm sure they're down in Papa's collection.

N-No, it's fine, you've already taught me a lot.

Okay.

[Jinxie nods.]

Oh, and if you ever want to learn more about Ghost types in particular, my cousin Maya runs a school.
