[negativeions]

[A Jolteon showed up. He's looking for his team members. And he's throwing thunderbolts around like it ain't no thang. WHAT DO?]

[LOOK ITS AN IVYSAUR]

[negativeions]

[WHAT'S THAT? A FAMILIAR LOOKING PLANTMAN?

HE SURE SMELLS FAMILIAR. WELL, IF THE SCENT FITS...]

Bulba! Or do you want me to call ya Ivy? Even if it sounds kinda like a girl's name?

[rivalsweetscent]

Nnno, my name's still Bulba, Jolt.

[Here is a for real Ivysaur for you.]

When did you get here?

[negativeions]

'Bout 15 minutes ago! Been tryin' to get here for days now! So this is where you all been hiding at?

[rivalsweetscent]

Something like that! How's everybody back home?? Why didn't you say you were coming?

[negativeions]

'Cause I didn't know I WAS until a couple 'a days ago! Everyone's just fine, but it's so BORING. So I thought I'd try an' find you bunch! I need ACTION! I need EXCITEMENT!

[HOLY CRAP SOME PEOPLE HAVE A THUNDERBOLT ALLERGY OKAY

LIKE THIS CHAYZARD, FOR EXAMPLE

WHO IS GETTING THE HELL OUT OF THE SKY AND GAWKING UPWARD FOR ANY TRACE OF RAINCLOUDS]

[negativeions]

[GEEZ CHAR, CALM YO TITS.]

Hey! Torchbutt! Down here!

[rivalkidneypunch]

[He's thunderweak now okay he can spaz if he wants to. Anyway: torchbutt has located the source of the Thunderbolts, and thus lands with a heavy thump]

What the hell are you shittin' electricity all over the place for? Are you goddamn droolfaced stupid?

[Which is Charspeak for "it's nice to see you".]

[negativeions]

Just bein' the life of the party! You used to love it when I did that. 'Fore you got the wings an' all.

[Which is Joltspeak for "same to you."]

[rivalkidneypunch]

It was a lot funnier when I didn't hafta worry about your shitty aim fryin' said wings. The hell're you doin' over here anyway, sparkledog? The Viridian squad get too boring for you?

[negativeions]

What's that about my aim? I can hit a target with a pin missile from 100 yards away with my eyes closed! I could shock an apple off some poor schmoe's head with a spark!

You've got NO IDEA. Had to get away for a while and see what all the fuss was about! 'Course now that I'm here, I'm wonderin' what's so hot about it.

[rivalkidneypunch]

Don't actually ever try doin' that. The gym don't need a lawsuit on its hands.

[Char settles back on his haunches and shrugs.]

Yeah, the place is kind of a shithole, but it has its charms. This is where Green's at, after all. That makes any place bearable.

[after_the_flower]

[IT'S A-

GIRL???

She grew started at the thunderbolts. But she looked then upset a little.]

[negativeions]

[C'mon.

Can you really stay mad at this face?]

[after_the_flower]

[Oh okay maybe not. But she pouts a little.]

Be a little more careful, you almost hit the flowers.

[She is by flowers, did you know.]

[negativeions]

[Can do, lady.

He'll just go shock a few leaves out of that tree over there.]

[after_the_flower]

[Well thank you, cute yellow monster.]

Thank you.

[It then came to her you shot so much electricity.]

How do you do that?

[negativeions]

[Jolteons accumulate negative ions from the atmosphere, coupled with static buildup in their fur, to shoot out electricity.

Of course, he was in Pokemon form. So when he explained it, it came out like this:]

Jolt jolt Jolteon Jolt!

[rivalappeared]

[OH MY GOD IT'S THUNDERBOLTS WAIT OH MY GOD IT'S MY THUNDERBOLTS. HERE, JOLTEON. HAVE A GREEN.]

[negativeions]

[OH MY GOD IT'S A GREEN. HERE, GREEN. HAVE A JOLTEON POUNCING ON YOU.]

[rivalappeared]

[AND HE IS POUNCED UPON]

Hey! I didn't know you were headed here!

[negativeions]

Jolt jolteon jolt! Jooolteon!

[That was Pokespeak for "Surprise, I'm here now boss!" And "I missed you!"]

[rivalappeared]

[Headpats everywhere. Just don't electrocute him.]

Did you see the other boys, yet? How long are you staying? Are you hungry?

[Sorry, just let him fuss for a moment.]

[negativeions]

[Those were some complex questions for someone who can't speak the english language and doesn't have a humanization TM so. Hope you can read gestures.

So the answers, in order, are nod, shrug, and nod again.]
