[When the feed clicks on, it's to a close up shot of a Shedinja floating inside what appears to be a hotel room. The ghost is just staring blankly at the screen, neither moving nor giving any other sort of indication that it's alive or that it really had any reason for apparently deciding to turn the gear on.]

[Just. Staring.]

[It's probably kind of unnerving and the worst part is that this goes on for a good twenty minutes before something else finally happens.]

Ugh, Phoebe did you hide my gear somewhere again? It was cute and kind of funny like the first maybe...three times? But that's really starting to wear off, sorry to say. Jeez, where is everyone it's like a gravey--

[John's voice can be heard in the background, and just as he wonders to himself where all his Pokémon went, his feet can be seen in the background behind the Shedinja. He sighs.]

Well that explains where everyone went at least. [The neon green argyle sock-clad feet approach the bug ghost and the camera.] Exos, what are you doing over here...oh. Ugh, not you too! Jesus what does a guy have to do, I swear... [The camera jostles as John, still mumbling to himself, picks the 'gear up. He redirects the camera to his own face, looking a little exasperated.]

Sorry about that. Exos is...well okay I have no idea what the fuck he was trying to accomplish there, if anything at all. But since this is already on, may as well make some kind of point here I guess. Umm, let's see...

Tell me about your favorite type of Pokémon. Or your favorite species, anything like that. Feel free to gush about your team and the things you have accomplished together, I don't mind. It's actually kind of fun to hear what other people have to say about their companions.

Here, I will even go first. Ghost types are my favorite and thanks to Bro Strider, I recently finished my collection of grim, grinning ghosts. I now have at least one of every ghost-type evolutionary line. My favorite species is Haunter. Mostly for nostalgia reasons but Haunters have the added benefit of just being pretty awesome in general.

Jason was two years older than me, and the only reason I got a gameboy when I was 6 was because he got one and Mom and Dad wanted to be fair. Then he got mad because I was better than him, so he told me he'd trade his Graveler for my Kadabra and then trade it right back when they evolved.

[dickish big brother is dickish. Still...]

I'd let him win if I got the chance to battle him now.

[Shaun pauses and squints, then recognizes the 'Gear.]

Oh, hi John! I didn't check the Gear ID.

Oh! Hehe, I guess this is the first time we have actually spoken over video isn't it? [He really should have responded to Shaun's last post with video but whoops he didn't feel like it. He laughs and waves.] Hello yes, I am John and this is my face. Haha.

At least you didn't get something useless out of the trade. Golem is... okay not as cool as Alakazam but not that bad! It can... roll. And crush things. Heh.

[Shaun laughs.] Hi John and John's face!

Yeah, but I mean, Kadabra could basically beat anything. I heard it was supposed to be more balanced, but then that didn't really work? Cause there wasn't any dark-type in the games, either.

Yeah, Psychic types were ridiculous OP'd in the games, weren't they? Man I completely forgot about the fact that dark and steel types didn't exist in the games.

[That's how used to this place he's gotten. Holy shit.]

I dunno what OP'd means, but I guess so! Oh yeah, steel type neither! I forgot about that. I guess 'cause I don't actually have any steel-types.

[he only knows about Dark-type because he has one.]

Oh, over-powered! Sorry. They were only weak to bug and they took no damage at all from ghosts, remember? There is a much better power balance here.

Yeah they are not the most common type either. I mean there's more of them then there are ghosts but just...for whatever reason they tend to sort of...not really stand out? Or maybe that's just me. I only have one, myself, but before I got her I tended to forget about them too.

Yeah, I remember me and my brother had a hard time beating Sabrina. I can tell they fixed it! I kinda like the dark-types - I've met two kinds of them and they're pretty cool.

Man, you have a whole lotta Pokemon, huh? Do you have one of all of them?

[He might sound a bit awed.]

[John laughs a little at that.]

No not one of all of them. Not even close, really since there are over six hundred of them now or something like that. I love Pokémon and all but even I wouldn't want that many. I do have at least one of every ghost line though, like I said.

Which dark types have you seen so far?

Oh. Over six hundred? Really? That seems like a whole lot. Does that count like evolutions and stuff?

Oh- I have a Mightyena, and Norman has a Houndour.
