I've recently come into possession of an intriguing Pokémon. Would anyone be interested in helping me discover its capabilities?

[ No signature. Just.....this. This, on everyone's Warp Bands. Sure, if you look hard enough you can trace the signal, but that doesn't mean much, does it? Who is this "Ken Ichijouji" kid?

Maybe with this, Union will start to learn. ]

How would we be able to assist with this?

[empireofmymind]

Would a friendly sparring match be too much to ask?

[greyerrant]

My pokemon aren't very well trained. I don't think it would go well for them.

[empireofmymind]

That's disappointing.

[child_of_luv]

Is it a new type?

[empireofmymind]

Not precisely. But I wonder whether it's been underestimated.

[child_of_luv]

Well, there are some we don't know much about. It's possible. I have a friend who's an Analyst. She might be able to tell you.

[empireofmymind]

I'd rather see for myself, if you don't mind.

Are you a Trainer?

[child_of_luv]

Okay.

I am. Have been for a couple years now.

[That was slowly not getting weird to say.]

[empireofmymind]

I'm sure sparring you would be educational, then!

....If I'm not being too forward.

What kind of Pokemon is it?

[empireofmymind]

I'd think learning its individual capabilities would be better than making generalizations.

[toxicrevenger]

Well, if you've bonded with that Pokemon and you're trying to get to know him or her, that is a good attitude to start with. However, knowing the typing of a Pokemon does provide a good basis to start from.

[empireofmymind]

Then, what are your suggestions for Poison-types?

[ Someone who thinks she knows something. How quaint. He'll work with that.

It will prove to be her undoing. ]

[toxicrevenger]

Is it purely a Poison-type, or does it have a secondary typing as well?

Have you asked an analyst for assistance?

[empireofmymind]

[ There's that word again. Analyst. As if there's any "analysis" Ken, being a genius, can't surpass! ]

I was hoping for more of a sparring partner.

[allergictoloveletters]

[One day, Ken, she will explain how that doesn't work.]

Then you have misrepresented yourself and your pokemon. There are training arenas with plenty of skilled trainers and masters who can assist you in finding out the full potential of your pokemon. Though seeking out an analyst would not cause any harm to the pokemon either, if that is your concern?

[empireofmymind]

[ Is everyone in Union this full of it or just the people he runs into when in search of knowledge? Insects.

Not that he's petty enough to let such things bother him. Naturally. ]

I suppose.

[ See? Totally not bothered. ]

[allergictoloveletters]

[Don't insult your betters, Ken.]

In that case, we have many analyst at the university and medical center that would be happy to assist before you head to the arena for training.

[ofpromisedvictory]

I take it from your other conversations this is a challenge to a Pokémon battle? As a researcher, I'm somewhat lacking, but in terms of a fight I think most of mine are capable.

[empireofmymind]

That would be appreciated.

Should we meet in the forest?

[ofpromisedvictory]

More than acceptable. How many Pokémon should I have attuned?

[empireofmymind]

One on one should be fine.

[ "Attuned." Hah. Poké Balls are good enough for these measly creatures. ]

[ofpromisedvictory]

I'll meet you at the clearing on this point of the map, then.

[One on one, hm? That's a very difficult type of duel to prepare for. Saber leaves her regular team in place, figuring she can try to brute force the fight with Lancelot or Agravain if nothing else, and heads out to meet Ken.]
