2 ✶ video/action

[Video! Molly's sitting on a park bench in Cherrygrove, a Natu and a shiny Sentret fighting for space in her lap.]

I wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped me last time. I can't remember everyone's names, but thanks.

[There were a lot of you people. But she does appreciate it, which is why she's reaching out again.]

But ... okay, I have to ask a few things. I've heard people talk about badges, what are those?

And ... well, what are pokémon supposed to eat?

[Video tilts to show the pokémon she's concerned for, then back up to Molly's face.]

They've kind of been eating my food, but I don't know if that's good for them. But I haven't really found anything in those stores either, like bird food or ... dog food or anything like that. So if anyone could help me with that that'd be great.

[Action if anyone in Cherrygrove wants to bump into her!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Korra gives a laugh at that.] I think that might be a better name for it too, but well, we could call it what we want.

[She nods and makes an mmhmm sound while she walks a bit to show her Arcanine, who looks just as friendly as this girl.]

This is an Arcanine, her name is Naga. She was just a little puppy at first, then she ~grew up.

[with a firestone, but anyway.]

Then I'm calling it that.

_{[So there!]

[She has an easy smile with that though, one that slowly shifts into pure amazement. That is most decidedly not a puppy. At all.]}

Is that a dog? But she's so big!

[Korra chuckles.]

It sounds like a more simple term to understand, if I'm honest.

[Naga sniffs the screen, a few times even. Korra, what are you doing? Why is there a tiny human, whose scent she can't get from this?]

She's -- well, she's a canine at least, I'm not exactly sure if she's a mix of dog and something else or if she's supposed to be just a dog. But she acts like a little puppy, even though she's so big now, so mostly I think of her as a dog anyway.

She has tiger stripes!

_{[Sort of! but wow! Excited little giggle at all the gear sniffings.]}

Someone I knew had this huge labrador, but he wasn't even half that big.

Maybe she's a tiger bear dog mix? Or just a bear and tigerstriped dog mix?

[Her excitement is really adorable, which is why Korra is smiling here and Naga licks the screen... Naga, please. Not like Korra seems to mind, she's quite used to dogs doing whatever dogs do.]

They're small as puppies, it's a species called Growlithe, but yeah... They kinda become really big after they grow up. Probably one of the biggest canines around here, but there are the so called normal sized dogs too here, in this world.

Yeah, I got to see this blue and yellow one. It's electric.

Did you find her when you got here?

Oh, those! I think I've seen them before, I should probably get one of them to myself later.

Yeah, she's been a really excited puppy all the way from that day. [she grins.] Maybe I should have waited a bit before I let her evolve, but well, it's not like I mind having an overgrown puppy with me. [Reminds her of Naga, really, they're --- really similar in personality, maybe she's just accidentally trained them that way.]

You mean transform.

_{[Which she says very cheekily.]}

How many do you have? Do you know how many you can have? Everybody seems to have a lot of them.

Right, I mean transform.

[She gives a laugh at this new term thing, again.]

I think I have -- 20, a little over maybe. Some of them came from people, who disappeared back home from here, but I've also kept myself busy with getting them myself.

I'm not... really sure how many we can have. I'm pretty sure it's gone up again from the last time I was here. Something around hundred, maybe.

Wow, that's a lot.

Isn't it difficult having so many? I mean, they're kind of like pets, right? I know they can go in their pokéballs, but still.

They're like pets, yeah, but I don't mind having so many. Or getting even more, I guess, since I keep doing that too.

But you can only have six with you, the rest of them go to some weird PC system, that you can access in the PokeCenter. They're completely safe there though, just like in pokéballs, and then you can go to those Centers to switch between the pokemon in your current team and the pokemon in that -- system.

It's not bad for them? Being in the computer?

_{[She's really just ... kind of curious. She can absolutely believe it's all fine, but it's still such a strange concept.]}

No, they're fine there and I'm not sure if they even notice how long they're there -- well, unless there's obvious changes like one season to another.

Anyway, we don't even have computers where I'm from, so I was very suspicious about that system at first. But it's fine, really.

[the most calming and gentle tone ever tbh.]

Really? Where are you from?

_{[Let's just latch right onto that cause Molly's not sure she can comprehend anywhere without computers. Huh.]}

From a tribe, that lives in the south pole.

Well, it's not really the same south pole as many here usually have, if you have Japan and Europe and other places in your map too, but still.

[let's start with that.]

_{[... gasp??? NO REALLY THIS IS INTERESTING]}

Wow, really? Doesn't it get super cold? How do you live there?

[Korra almost laughs, it's fun to see how interested she is.]

Yeah, really. It's really cold, but I'm used to it and it's never really bothered me anyway. [#quotingletitgo] It used to be just igloos and stuff like that, but nowadays and for a long time before I was even born, it's been rebuilt into a big city by us and Northern Water Tribe.

What's a Water Tribe?

_{[JUST TELL HER ALL THE THINGS]}

It's one of the four nations, that my world consists of. Well, they're, since there are two Water Tribes and a place for everyone to go too, but anyway. The others are Air Nomads, Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation. And the place for everyone to go is United Republic, so we can all meet there and live together in peace and harmony. [which... they're still working on but hey, getting there one day!]

And some people can control the element, that's in the name. We call it bending. So if you're from Water Tribes, you could be born as a waterbender. Fire Nation has firebenders, Air Nomads are airbenders and those from Earth Kingdom are earthbenders. And Republic City, the capital of United Republic, has people from all over the world and people, who can't bend anything.

_{[What she's taking away from this is a) there are only four or maybe five countries and the most important thing, b) ... there are powers.]

[So she latches onto that pretty quickly, visibly particularly interested by that bit.]}

Can you do that? Do you have water powers?

[Honestly she's from horrible canon point, where people are making her almost wish that she didn't have those powers and the world doesn't need her anymore...

BUT SHE'S GONNA BE TOTALLY COOL ABOUT THIS IN FRONT OF A KID AND NOT BRING THE SAD PART OF IT UP, SO]

I have water powers. I also have fire powers. And I have earth powers and air powers too, because I was born as the Avatar of my generation. That's our term for the person, who can master all of those powers and not just one of them like other benders.

_{[YEAH WHO CARES ABOUT THE SAD WHEN YOU CAN HAVE AWESOME.]

[Molly GAPING at you, Korra, and then giving the mother of all grins.]}

Wow! That's so cool!

I've seen someone fly once but I've never seen anyone who can do all of those things.

[... ouch, flying. that's relevant to canon point, but she just smiles at her excitement here.]

I can't literally fly freely like a bird in the sky, but I guess I have other skills to make up for it.

[because seriously, as if she needs any MORE skills.]

I thought people only had one type of power. Everybody I know who has one only has one.

_{[See also: why Molly is super impressed.]}

Well, most people in my home world have only one type of -- [W A I T!] You know people with some type of powers?
