Today, the big damn robot out back of the Cooper farm's bunker is being watched by a young man with an eyepatch, a cheerful demeanour, and a bowl of sliced pineapple.

He'd be happy to entertain company.

HELLO PERSON WITH THINGS THAT LOOK LIKE PINAP BERRY

WOULD YOU LIKE A FRIEND?

[neraiutsu.livejournal.com]

...sure!

"Hello there," he says, eyeing Crobat.

[max-friendship.livejournal.com]

"Crobat!"

It is hovering a bit out of reach, in case he has any rocks or anything hidden.

"Crobat cro?"

[neraiutsu.livejournal.com]

"I'll assume that was your version of hello. Want some pineapple?"

He takes off one glove (his hands are cleaner), picks up a piece, and holds it out.

[max-friendship.livejournal.com]

DOES IT EVER!!!

"Cro! Cro!" HoverhoverhoverNOM!

mmmm, fruit! &hearts

You are its new best friend!

[neraiutsu.livejournal.com]

"Damn, you're cute. So what's your name, little guy? Wait, lemme guess-- Crobat?"

[max-friendship.livejournal.com]

:O HOW DID YOU KNOW?!

"Cro! Crobat cro!" Flutter!

"Bat batcro?" What about you, nicest human ever?

[neraiutsu.livejournal.com]

"Who, me? I'm Neil."

Having a conversation with a Pokemon is basically an exercise in guesswork.

"Good to meet you."

One pineapple chunk for himself, and another for Crobat.

NOM! &hearts

"Crobat!" It does not really understand why humans can't grok pokespeak, but that seems to be a universal affliction, so it'll just stick with trying to get its meaning across through telepathy.

Crobats do not know telepathy.

"Cro cro?" Is the big metal thing yours?

[neraiutsu.livejournal.com]

Considering Neil is currently leaning against Dynames' foot, it's not difficult to imagine what the question might be.

"This? This is my mobile suit."

[max-friendship.livejournal.com]

:D?

[neraiutsu.livejournal.com]

...He's having a hard time interpreting that one, so he'll just go with the logical option and offer Crobat some more pineapple.

[max-friendship.livejournal.com]

It was actually hoping for an explanation, but pineapple is good, too! Yum yum yum!

"...bat batcrobat?"

[neraiutsu.livejournal.com]

"The suit again? It's a military vehicle from my world. I brought it here to be repaired."

[max-friendship.livejournal.com]

"Croooo..." Okay! It isn't entirely sure what most of that means, but it sounds good.

"Crobat bat!"

Look, it can do a flip!

[neraiutsu.livejournal.com]

Apparently so!

"Nice trick."

[max-friendship.livejournal.com]

"Cro crobat! Bat crobatbat?" What about you?

[neraiutsu.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I only have one good trick, and I can't show it off around here."

[max-friendship.livejournal.com]

:(

"bat..."

What a shame. Clearly, you should get better tricks!

[neraiutsu.livejournal.com]

"...Well..."

Neil considers this.

Then he takes a bite of pineapple.

Then he considers some more.



Then he decides no, his marksmanship is not a party trick, not even for adorable flying critters. So he offers Crobat another pineapple chunk instead.

[max-friendship.livejournal.com]

Pineapple is an acceptable substitute for party tricks, yes.

Those who can, show off. Those who can't, feed pokemon. It all works out in the end.

[neraiutsu.livejournal.com]

D'aww.






Mmm, pineapple.
