[You know what happens when you give two curious teenagers time to formulate an idea? Trouble.

Lots of it. The video shows Ilex Forest and the back of one Dave Strider as he whistles sharply to the Cranidos beside him. He's not alone there's a Jane Crocker to his left with another Cranidos. There's a thud as their pokemon hit the trees with their heads. At first nothing happens then an angry looking pineco drops out onto the grass.

Dave blinks.] What the tap dancing christ?

Oh! It's a Pokemon we haven't seen before! Let's see.. [She's fishing out her gear while approaching the Pineco, as it's actually really difficult to tell if it's expression is angry or not; it always looks a bit mad, especially compared to the dex image. The sudden glowing is a concern though, that has Jane taking a step back.] What in the --

[Boom. It knocks both of them back, sending Dave butt over heels to slam his back into the grass. The explosion shakes the trees and a ring of Pineco hit the ground. All at once they start to glow and he surges up covering the pokemon and Jane with a curse before the screen goes white.]

[Dave gives her a thumbs up from where he's laying in the grass. He lets his Leafeon and Glaceon out.]

You should be more careful, Strider.

Hey I was careful, it was the pineco having a fit.

I suppose so.

Why were you hitting the tree like that?

Because pokemon live in the trees and I was curious what was up there. Now I know, mystery solved.

I...suppose.

Although I question the basic logic of your plan. If something came along and rammed you out of your house, you'd probably attack them too.

I'd ask what the fuck was their problem first but, I see your point. Part of my reasoning was questioning why when I kicked a tree it didn't shake. Made no sense not that I go around kicking trees mind you.

I was fighting poke logic versus real life.

From what I can tell, fighting poke logic accomplishes little here. This world doesn't seem to care if it makes no sense.

It's a lot like SGrub in that respect.
