[Sometime on the afternoon of the fourteenth, a rather obnoxious set of audio clips begins to hit the network — ones that most people will probably recognize as the tinny text-to-voice reader of the PokeDex at work: ]

"MURKROW, the DARKNESS Pokemon. Feared as the alleged bearer of ill fortune, it shows strong interest in anything that sparkles."

[And then again, about half a minute later...]

"PIDOVE, the TINY PIGEON Pokemon. It follows its Trainer's orders as best it can, but it sometimes fails to understand complicated commands."

[Actually, there's quite a lot of this going on at the moment, it seems.]

"GLAMEOW, the CATTY Pokemon. It claws if disp—"
"PIDOVE, the TINY PIGEON Pokemon. It follows its Tra—"
"PIDOVE, the TI—"
"PIDOVE, the TI—"

[WHACK WHACK WHACK.]

"TRUBBISH, the TRASH BAG Pokemon. Inhaling the gas they belch will make you sleep for a week."

[And a little bit of shuffling around later...]

"MEOWTH, the SCRATCH CAT Pokemon. It loves anything that shines, but especially adores coins that it picks up and secretly hoards."

[Ladies and gentlemen, have one very bored Parker amusing herself by playing with her Gear and Dex-IDing every Pokemon she sees. Trainers on the streets of Goldenrod City, beware: you may be next.]

[Jake's actually out of the hotel and making a trip to the department store! It helps that his Gardevoir is walking behind him, since he just remembered that she can goddamn Teleport back to the Pokemon Center. His Emolga is resting on his shoulder for the time being, too. Her head is going in every direction, having never really seen Goldenrod before. Mostly, it's been either Tate the Gallade or Susan the Gardevoir.

Have fun with this oblivious doofus, Parker.]

[Oh, she intends to. And fortunately, the Emolga is a little more interesting to her than the Gardevoir, which will save Jake a rather unpleasant encounter with her railing about psychics. HENCE.]

"EMOLGA, the SKY SQUIRREL Pokemon. The energy made in its cheeks' electric pouches is stored inside its membranes and released while it is gliding."

[WHEREVER COULD THAT NOISE HAVE COME FROM. Spoilers: it's that bush over there.]

[Jake blinks and looks around for the source of the voice. Robin tilts her head and mimics her trainer, while Susan just looks bored.

He completely misses the fact that it's in the bush over yonder.]

Er, hello?

[Hmm. Still unspotted. Might as well try to get a shot at the other one, then...]

"EMOLGA, the SKY SQUIRREL Pokemon. The ene—"
"EMOLGA, the SKY SQU—"
"EMOLGA, the SKY SQU—"
"EMOLGA, the S—"

[DAMMIT JAKE STOP MOVING AROUND SO MUCH.]

[Jake scratches the back of his head.]

Um....

[No, no he still doesn't know where she is. Robin takes off from Jake's shoulder and starts circling around him in confusion. Susan facepalms and moves to where Parker's located.]

[Welp, that's her cue to pop up, then.]

Hi.

[...Yeah, that's about all he's gonna get. World's most stilted awkward conversation, begin!]
