Re: 002; video/action for Violet

[good evening, Johto! on your 'gears tonight is a kid with a thousand problems-- and his pokémon are at the moment every single one.]

-- Hey, guys? Quick question.

[Sora points the feed toward a cozy spot of trees near the exit to Violet City, and the entrance to Route 31. a giant boulder-sized Skarmory is contentedly perched amongst the trees, though when her gaze catches the 'gear, she gives it-- Sora, presumably-- a rather dirty look.]

I found Metal Chocobo! [judging by her hardened stare, she wasn't too thrilled with him up and disappearing on her, either. instead of pecking at him disapprovingly like one might expect, however, she's elected to just sit there. glaring.]

But... what do you do when one of your pokémon steals your other pokémon and refuses to give them back?

[upon closer inspection... yes, that would be a yellow paw on the ground directly beneath where Metal Chocobo is roosting. Roxas the Jolteon knows better than to attack without Sora's permission, so he is just... silently enduring being sat on like an egg.]

[heck, there's even an egg there, too. Sora didn't get a chance to read who it was from before Metal Chocobo swooped in with an metallic grinding squawk and snatched it right out of his hands, though.]

Kill them for not listening.

Have you lost your mind? They're still my friends!

Of course! That's why I prefer them alive; I'm not gonna punish them that harshly.

They're animals, not friends.

That's not true at all. You can form bonds with them.

One teaches animals off of rewards and disciplines for actions they should or should not do. If that thing is being disobedient, the only way to fix it's actions is to solve it with disciplinary actions, no?

-- Yeah, but killing them seems way too harsh. And they can still be good and loyal friends either way.

[there's a stubborn note in his tone.]

They're loyal because they're well-fed and cared for by the owner, not because they see their masters as a friend.

How would you know? You're not a pokémon.

How would you know you're correct?

The same way I know you're wrong. I know who my friends are, pokémon or not.
