One Necessary Lie ✧ Video

[The video feature flicks on but it's completely black and is silent for a minute. Perhaps it was done on accident. But wait, no, that's not the case. There's a man's voice, unidentifiable except to those who know him. Either way, he sounds unamused.]

A world where you collect animals and let them do the fighting for you. Seems cruel. Or perhaps you just don't see it that way. Using creatures to collect ridiculous badges. What good will it do you when you leave this place? If you leave this world.

[Itachi pauses, silence fills the moment.]

How many of you still continue your own physical training as you level up your creatures? Would you be capable of taking down your enemy without the aide of your Pokemon? Would you be satisfied if you couldn't? [Yes, Sasuke. Those last two questions were specifically aimed towards you.]

It also appears that the dead walk among us. [Does he know about the other shinobi or simply referring to himself -- hard to tell. Some might not even recognize him by voice alone. So finally he shifts it around to reveal his face. Itachi doesn't have the hitae-ai sitting upon his forehead like usual and his surroundings are hard to pinpoint. The maroon cloak he's wearing doesn't help as it covers the rest of his clothes.]

[He sighs as if this is all a big bother or an annoyance.]
I suppose it's only polite to introduce myself. My name is Uchiha Itachi.

That works, too! As a trainer, you should know that you'll need badges in order to use moves like "Fly" and "Surf", which make travel easier - which is one reason a lot of people try to get them. Your pokemon may be able to swim or fly, but they can't take you along until they learn the move via HM, and if you aren't a breeder you need the badge for it to work.

[ SHRUG. She's never been one for questioning the mechanics of games - at least, not in her current state. ]

Very good! It was, but people do still try it.

[ ...or they just don't read the guide... ]

It's the reason most people seem to get them! Also, the badges make your pokemon more willing to listen to you, I think? It's a sign of...competence, I suppose.

Curiosity and meowbeasts, as the saying goes!

Ah...! Before I forget, since you're new, you're eligible for a free pokemon egg from the Breeding Centre. That's not really related to badges, but.

Yes, that's the one! Although knowing this place, it's probably "curiosity killed the Meowth".

Maybe? They have chicken salad at diners, or at least people I know have ordered it, so there have to be cluckbeasts around here somewhere.

It would be a bit strange, I suppose?

[ She...can't comment on it too much, trolls' dietary habits are questionable at points. ]

At least that doesn't seem to be the case, though.

Yes, it would be rather awkward otherwise! I'm just as glad it isn't.
