>Did we check the three in our dex? If not, do so.
>Well, one that gets along with Myon might be a good idea...
>You think having them get along with your other half would be favorable.
>You pull out the pokedex and scan turtwig:

>"Turtwig, the tiny leaf pokemon. The shell on its back is made of hardened soil, and should feel moist when healthy. When under the sun, its body undergoes photosynthesis, and the twig on its head wilts when it is thirsty."

>You then scan Piplup:
>"Piplup, the penguin pokemon. Native to the shores of northern countries, its thick down protects it from the cold. It is also a skilled swimmer, capable of diving for over ten minutes in a single hunt. Most individuals have a strong sense of pride, and initially have difficulty accepting food from humans."

>Finally, you scan Chimchar:
>"Chimchar, the chimp pokemon. It agilely scales sheer cliffs to live atop craggy mountains. The fire on its rear end is fueled by gasses in its digestive system and will not extinguish in rain. However, they willingly extinguish the flames before sleeping to prevent fires."

> Wait... A nickname! We need a nickname! The originality it's really important!
>You wonder if you should name your starter after you get it.

> "So... I think I'll..."
> Any objections for Piplup? If not, be free to parse and choose it!
>You tell Rowan you choose Piplup, prompting Chimchar to fall over.
>Piplup looks surprised that it was chosen. And doesn't seem to move.
>At this point, Turtwig finally stops eating, casually waltzes behind the penguin pokemon, and nudges it forward with its head.

>"Very well." Rowan heads over to a nearby table and grabs one of those red and white balls, holding it out to you, "Here's Piplup's pokeball, it's yours now."

>"You are pretty adorable you know ? Let's be great friends."
>You slowly extend a hand towards Piplup and it tries to back away initially, but you manage to start petting it. Its down feels really soft.
>Piplup looks slightly embarrassed, but soon begins to warm up to the petting.

>Chimchar begins to laugh at it.

>"Um, according to dawn, I just hold it out and say their name while asking for them to return. It's the opposite for them coning out, right?"
>"Kinda," Dawn answers, "You don't have to say their name, just aiming the button at them and saying 'return' or 'come back' is enough. For sending them out, you just throw the pokeball and say something like 'go' or 'come out'."

>"Do you mean how using a pokeball works, or how the pokeball itself works?" Rowan asks.

> "Also... uhm... is this Piplup male... or female?"
>"That piplup is female."
>"You should be able to check with the pokedex" says Dawn.

>"Oh! I'd like to know how the pokeball itself works more in detail too."
>"Well," Rowan begins, "the exact technology is difficult to explain, but the pokeball works by converting a pokemon into pure energy and storing it inside a space designed to make them feel as comfortable as possible. It also becomes linked to the energy signature of the pokemon it captures, meaning that, once a pokemon has been caught with it, only that pokeball may be used on it."

>"That is correct. In order to release a pokemon from being bound to its ball, you have to shatter it. Otherwise they will be unable to be moved to another ball, nor will they be able to be captured by another trainer."

//It seems the nickname it's inevitable. Let's propose ONE nickname each one and see which one the players like the most.
Alternate solution for this: the parser choose between all of our nicknames and he will decide which one he likes the most, and that's going to be the name of our little friend!

> To not forget  about O4rfish nickname: Floe.
> I propose... Nami.
> You can do this too, parser~.

//By the way, as with the seven items, in the event of a nickname tie I will choose one at random.
//If there are no new nickname votes in the next ten hours (exactly 24 hours after Tashi's last post), then I will treat the current two as a tie.
