[ The video shows a Zangoose aggressively battling the snow creatures. It mostly uses fast scratches.

It looks like it's having fun. Mayu is using the video because he thinks it's adorable. His voice can be heard.]

Great job, Jigoro!

[ The Zangoose pouts at him, and makes annoyed sounds. Mayu uses one of the orbs to keep the creature from reforming. ]

Those balls are useful.

[Yoshiya is quietly admiring Jigoro at first. Pokemon are so much fun..!

When he sees the capture complete, he claps his hands.]

That was great! You saved the poor spirit!

[nrgsvr]

[ The video is still on the triumphant Zangoose. He seems to like the praise.]

His idea.
I hope they're comfortable like Pokeballs.

[maskedsmile]

He's so smart~!

Have you been having much luck with the captures? Do you need any help?

[nrgsvr]

Yeah.

[ This could be a response to everything Yoshiya said.]

Maybe. Judo isn't that effective against them.

[ He doesn't want to grapple snow.]

[maskedsmile]

I guess that would be pretty cold, huh?

[Not that Yoshiya is capable of many "useful" tactics.]

My Politoed doesn't like the snow, but my two ghosts are having fun. We could come help you out?

[nrgsvr]

Okay. Can you tell where I am?

[ He uses the video to show his surroundings. He's in Genessia, not too far from Sand Gym. Even with Jigoro encouraging him to be more active, he doesn't venture far from his job.]

fc change, sry

[maskedsmile]

[Yoshiya studies the screen, then gives a firm nod.]

Yeah! I'll send my ghost Pokemon on ahead, and catch up to you.

Pardon my slowness! [And he's off.

As promised, his two ghost companions get a head start. A Gastly and Duskull, who are both excited to prank some snow monsters.]

Action

[nrgsvr]

Hello

[ He turns to the Zangoose.]

They're here to team up with you, not challenge you.

[ He's fairly sure Jigoro understands, but he still needed to say it. The pokemon does seem like he's taking advantage of the weaknesses the ghost pokemon are exploiting.]

[maskedsmile]

[The ghosts are both all too happy to tease and torment snow monsters, keeping them busy until Yoshiya can catch up. This is the one time when he doesn't scold them for being mischievous.]

Are you both okay? I hope Boo and Screamer didn't bother you?

[nrgsvr]

We're fine. They we're very helpful. Thanks.

[ Using those balls is new on Adam. He watches the video with raised eyebrows. ]

Can ya fit more than one inta those traps?

[ He's trying to hide a rural Virginia accent but isn't doing very well. ]

Video

[nrgsvr]

[ He doesn't even notice an accent.]

I haven't tried. I'm not sure if I want to risk it.

[maskedsmile]

Thank goodness. [He makes a mental note to reward the pair later: They're usually up to no good and act like little, spiritual nuisances.

As he walks closer, they both fly over and begin tugging playfully at his hair.]

Ow, guys-- Ugh... They're not always like this. [Yoshiya sighs,] How have you both been doing? Are you capturing many of those monsters?

Video

[psychica_ratione]

[ Adam looks thoughtful for a moment. ]

Then you would have half to carry multiple ones. I guess that is why most people don't do it.

[ His vision sharpens after a moment.]

Is there any specific way ta use them?

Re: Video

[nrgsvr]

I don't want to risk ones that were already caught, escaping.

[ The camera is still focused on the Zangoose.]

Destroy the snow body then throw the balls at it before it reforms?

[nrgsvr]

They look happy to see you. It's cute.

[ Jigoro does what he wants most of the time, and finds ways to communicate when he wants to train.

Jigoro makes proud Zangoose noises I response to Yoshiya's question.]

We're doing well enough. He does the hard part.
