Star Spangled Man with a Plan

[There's a steady quality to Steve's voice, though with enough stress that if you listen for it, you can hear that he's forcing this quality, to hide his discomfort. Every so often, there's the sound of an Espeon making pathetic little noises and a strong purring noise that follows each time, but otherwise there's very little noise for whatelse is happening around the man.]

I've been thinking about what it would be like to have Pokemon in my world, back where and when I came from. How it would change every day life, how it would change sports and movies, how it would change the function of machines, how it would change war. I'm finding that I don't think it would have changed as much as people would suppose. Maybe the future, but my time would have been similar in the turn of events.

It's made me wonder if anyone else has thought about such things. So, I pose the question to all of you, how do you feel having Pokemon in your world and time would, or would have, changed things?


((OOC: If his peeps(or other people in Goldenrod) want to come action at him, feel free. He's found a nice place outside, alone but for Pokemon, just drawing and seeming withdrawn))

[Steve is sitting in the shade of a tree wearing a normal outfit (not his uniform), he's holding an Eevee in his arms, who is softly crying, and has a Lucario sitting next to him looking rather perplexed at the Eevee. Steve looks like he's a little unsure about this]

Grace evolved earlier today, I was a bit concerned about how long it was taking, but she does things at her own pace. [the Lucario looks at Steve and nods in agreement] It was really amazing, I didn't think she'd wind up being so big. No more carrying her around, though she's already picked me up and carried me around. [he chuckles as Grace puffs her chest out proudly]

The problem is Amber hasn't stopped crying and shying away from Grace since. I was thinking she was scared of her, but no, after some charades, I figured out she's really upset because she wants to evolve too. [the Eevee heaves something that is best described as a sob, leaning away from Grace, who is trying to comfort her with some pets]

I want her to meet more of her evolutions before she decides what she wants to be. She's met a number of Espeon's, but none of the others yet. Is anyone willing to humor us and let her at least meet more of her evolutions, even if it's just through video?

Thanks. [a birds talon reaches down to push a button, ending the feed]

[Steve is sitting against a ledge, a perplexed look on his face, as a Hoppip floats around on a gentle breeze while clinging to a lock of Steve's hair to keep from blowing away (doodle), it happily chirps]

So, this Pokemon caught himself and doesn't want to be released... I guess he caught me, but is there, uh, another way to raise a Pokemon without making them fight? He's really not keen on it. Actually, he just sits there and cries.

[pebbles start getting thrown at the Hoppip by someone off camera, one hits and makes it start to cry, quite loudly. Steve gives a heavy sigh, because this is a regular occurrence since the Hoppip adopted him]

Hey, that's en-

[he turns to address whoever is throwing the pebbles and the pokegear gets closed in the process, ending the feed]
