[Y'know, it might be better to just take a couple sandwiches out and hand the Snorlax the whole basket. Even that probably won't help, but it's still more than a couple sandwiches.
Pika, however, looks away, but does a wave back anyway. Sup dude. It's been a while. Even with his nonchalant look, Pika is pretty excited to see him, all things considered.
But Red and Poli both notice the eyes on him, before Red laughs lightly.]
He was my starter, y'know. It's kinda weird, since most of the time you hear about people startin' with Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander, right?
[He pats Poli on the head.]
But this guy's been with me since I was real little.
Pikachu doesn't mind the cool guy look, though he tilt his does head some at it - but hey, whatevs. Been up to anything??? ]
I don't hear about it in my world. [ Sure, it was the three choices he had, but it wasn't common (as far as he knew). Red shrugs lightly. ] People start with whoever they get.
[ Or so he assumes. He looks again at Poli, a little more curious. ]
Yeah. Not so much anymore, but they were pretty annoying when they were initially around.
[He's not surprised about Silver wanting to deal with them though. He won't really talk much on that front, since that's more for Silver to spill, but he does not.]
Uhm... [ dot dot dot... ] I don't know. It's normal. It's a world with pokémon and trainers in it. Team Rocket's still around, but I don't know what they're up to.

... but how did you two meet?
no subject
Guess that's pretty common too, yeah. [But his friends usually started with a starter, so he has no idea.]
Dunno! He just kinda wandered over once when I was little. We've been pretty attached ever since.
no subject
Yeah? [ Huh. Did a pokémon ever wander over to him when he was younger? .... that's so forever ago, and they obviously didn't stick with him. ]
...He must've thought you'd make good friends. [ He adds that, not wanting to just leave it with 'yeah'. Sounds nice, really... ]
no subject
[He really does owe him a lot.]

Both times he evolved while doin' it too. Poli's really impressive. Not that all of my pokémon aren't impressive in their own ways, but y'know.
no subject
But... you have terrible luck around water, huh?
no subject
[And he'll pat Poli on the head again.]

Problem being, they were Team Rocket. They didn't really take too kindly to me interfering.
no subject
[ Oh. He looks back to his own pokémon, then breaks part of the sandwich he'd saved for himself (once closing up the book on his lap). ]
I heard they're a problem in your world too. Ash's too. [ a beat ] Silver's keen about dealing with them.

[He's not surprised about Silver wanting to deal with them though. He won't really talk much on that front, since that's more for Silver to spill, but he does not.]
Yeah, he's had to deal with 'em too.
no subject
I hear they're still around in Ash's world. [ A half-shrug. ] Don't know about mine. I'm from the past.
[ Sure he could say more, but there isn't anything he thinks he want to. Telling him about Giovanni might be wise, uuut...
whatever. Silver could do that (if he hadn't already). ]
no subject
[Not like he needed to know about the future of someone else's world, anyway!]
no subject
[ Red did say about that just now, but -- making sure. ]

I don't know what to tell you.
no subject
Like uh... let's see... you taking the gym challenge?
no subject
Uh huh. [ A short nod. ] I've got four badges.
[ ... oh yeah, that reminds him- ]
Silver told me most of the gym leaders in your world are criminals.
no subject
Halfway there! That's pretty good progress.
[That does get a laugh out of him, though...]
Yeah... they kinda are. A lot of 'em were members of Team Rocket, but lately, we can really depend on them.
