[ The video clicks on, and it's upside-down at first. Talim's obviously distracted by something offscreen. She watches for a moment, brows furrowed ]

Alun! You leave him alone! [ The sounds of a Scyther and a Pidgey squabbling can be heard in the background. ] Alun! Hey-!

[ The video clicks off for a moment. When it clicks back on, it's right-side-up, and Talim looks a little frazzled ]

Um. I was wondering. What do you do when one of your pokémon is a little... unruly?

((ooc; Talim has come into possession of a rather quick-tempered, impulsive Pidgey. If you're in Cherrygrove and want to have it divebomb your character, feel free. It does that.))

No, it certainly isn't. However they learn that by behaving, they are allowed to roam as they please.

Hm. I suppose that is one way to look at it.

It is much akin to putting a child in time out when they decide to break a rule or throw a tantrum. And in many cases, Pokemon can be compared to children.

In that case, this one is like an unruly younger brother.

I can't say I have had the pleasure of experiencing having to deal with a brother...

Well. Actually I suppose I have. Though he is more of an insufferable prick than generally unruly.

I don't have a brother, either, but I've dealt with my fair share of small children.

If that is the cause, wouldn't it make more sense to compare it to a small child rather than a brother?

He's one of my pokémon now. He's as good as family.

...I suppose that makes sense enough.

It's just how I see it. I'm sure everyone sees their pokémon differently.

You are quite right about that.

Thought, I have a view for each of my Pokemon separately as well. The only one who I could closely relate to as 'family' would be my Eevee..

[colorsofthewind]

Oh yes. They're each an individual as well, but I like to hope that as a unit we're a family.

Well, I am sure if you treat them as such, they will likely treat you as such.

I certainly hope so!
