So uh
I wasn't sure if that was actually a thing that could happen but I think one of my Pokémon is afraid of heights
but he's like a flying Pokémon so I'm kinda surprised actually...
Anyways just don't fly on your Pokémon unless you can ask them first if they are or something cause that's really important

The Nurses in Olivine are super nice though!! then again they're all nice, so

[...Jimmy you don't just...say that...]

but yeah that's just something to keep in mind I guess! or, yaknow, just have lots of different Pokémon you can fly on. just in case

[Private text to Joker]

A ROCK THAT CAN FLY???

I NEED TO SEE THIS SHIT DO U HAVE HIM WITH U

text > video

[awesmazings]

I do, yeah! Hold on a sec.

[A moment later a video turns on to show Jimmy sitting on the couch in the Pokemon Center with his left arm in a cast and sling. There's a very large bird trying his hardest to sit up on the couch next to him, his head resting on Jimmy's shoulder as he lets out a plaintive, distressed noise every now and then. Jimmy sighs and smiles sadly, petting Rocky's wing with his free hand while he balances the Gear on his knees.]

This is Rocky.

[Naki switches over to video as well, simply because it's easiest that way. He looks the same as always and he's in a nondescript room so there's really nothing interesting going on here.]

Whoa, he's cool! I guess he's pretty upset about what happened to you?

[awesmazings]

Yeah...I know he didn't mean to, and it's not like it's really his fault I got hurt or anything.

[But that just gets another low whine from the Pokemon as he covers his face with his wing, trying to make himself as small and unassuming as possible.]

He's really great though, flying or not.

[deaftly]

He's pretty cute! I'm sure he'll realize that you're not mad at him eventually!

[Thanks, Naki. You're so helpful.]

[awesmazings]

Yeah! And that was just a freak thing anyway. An accident! I coulda' just as easily broken my arm during one of our acts or something.

[Which doesn't make it better...]

[deaftly]

Yeah, exactly--

[...wait.]

Acts?

[awesmazings]

Yeah, acts! I'm a member of the Eve's Garden Circus that has shows every month in Goldenrod!

[deaftly]

You're a member of a circus? Holy shit. What kind of acts do you do?

[awesmazings]

Joker says I'm a jack-of-all trades, so I do a whole ton of different things! Acrobats, juggling, you name it!

[...he's like a rodeo clown, basically.]

[deaftly]

That sounds fucking awesome! I didn't realize you were so talented! How long have you been doing it?

[awesmazings]

[HE'S REALLY NOT...]

Almost ever since I first got here, so...'bout a year now! Joker's the ringleader so I've been helping him out and traveling with him.

[deaftly]

Holy shit, that's awesome! I didn't even realize there was a circus in Goldenrod... I'll have to check it out sometime.

[awesmazings]

Oh yeah, you totally should! It's awesome! We always have all sorts of really cool acts, and all of our Pokemon are a part of it.

[deaftly]

Sounds great! I've never been to the circus before.

[awesmazings]

Really, you haven't? You really gotta go then, you'd love it!
