Second Flake [video/Action for Violet City]

[defyingfrigidity]

[The Elsa that appears on the video today is a much, much calmer Elsa then was last seen at the beginning of the month. In fact, she looks very relaxed, lounging by the shore of the lake just outside of Sprout Tower. By her side is a new addition to her team; a Lapras, very young if its smaller size is anything to go by. It seems to be dozing off, its head resting in Elsa's lap. She's gently stroking the creature's neck, a soft smile on her face.]

I have another question. This one, thankfully, is on a much less distressing note.

[SHE'S STILL SORRY SHE PUT THAT NEAR PANIC-ATTACK ON YOU ALL LIKE THAT....]

Does keeping Pokemon in those balls of theirs for long periods of time... hurt them or upset them in any way? None of the locals here seem too concerned about such a thing, but even so... I can't help but worry a bit. I try to keep mine out of their balls as much as possible, but I'm afraid that might not be very doable with this one, once Anna and I start traveling again...

I don't think it does? Mine don't seem to mind going in the balls when it's necessary, but I try to keep them out as often as I can. From what I do know, the only real complaint they would have is the isolation from others in them--which is fairly obvious I suppose.

[defyingfrigidity]

The isolation is a thing that does bother me, yes. They can be physically comfortable, that's one thing, but to be completely alone....

[Oh god Elsa you're starting to identify with them, aren't you....]

I wonder if anyone's tried to figure out a way to contain them together, to solve that problem at least.

[armoredsoul]

I...I think the box system might do that? It would make sense if it did, at least, since they're all stored together and not in separate devices. Though how that's even possible still baffles me.

[defyingfrigidity]

Wait, hold on. The... box system?

[What do boxes have to do with this..???]

[armoredsoul]

Ah, you didn't know? At the PCs, you can access a system that will store any Pokemon beyond the six you're allowed to normally carry. It can store...at least one hundred extra Pokemon, I can't remember the exact number.

[defyingfrigidity]

Oh! I know the PCs. My sister told me about them on my first day here... I've just never heard them referred to as "the box system".

A hundred.... that's quite the number. Is that how many different species of pokemon I should expect to run into here?

[armoredsoul]

Ah, I see. And that's what I've been told, but I might be misremembering.

[Al bites his lip for a moment, then shakes his head.] I'd have to check the Pokedex again to be sure, but I think even accounting for entries for evolved Pokemon, I don't think it's possible to have one of every type.
