Theta! Get away from that computer, we don't need a repeat of last time!

[A certain red-haired scientific genius comes running into screen. Or, what might be on screen if her device wasn't currently being chewed on by one of her Pokemon. It's hard to tell which one from this angle. But, what can be seen is her holo-computer being prodded at by a very peculiar pokemon.

At some point, Washu managed to capture a Porygon and they were...getting used to each other.

Somewhere in the background, her Braixen is lounging on the couch in her nice apartment in Nova City, just idly playing with his stick and watching the petite red-head encase the porygon in some sort of forcefield that was throwing off sparks as they had a little bit of a show down. One Washu easily won several moments later when the Porygon relented and turned its back on her. She sighed and ran a hand through her hair.]

Maybe I should have named you Ryoko instead of Theta.

[It's about that time she realizes her device is being used as a chew toy and sighs as she walks over and saves it from some unknown mouth.]

With so many mouths to feed, I might need to find a job sooner than later. Anyone know if there's a need for scientists or professors anywhere?

[Porygon? What does the dex have to say about that?

...well, that it's one of the weirdest poke-things ever.]

ISN'T THAT ONE MOSTLY MADE OUT OF DATA? FOOD SHOULDN'T BE TOO EXPENSIVE. YOU CAN JUST FEED IT MEGABYTES!

[It might just be the dex entry that had her wanting to study it. But his joke.. it makes her groan.]

Actually, the fact that it's made out of data from over twenty years ago make it that more interesting for me to study now that I have one of my own.

[She settles on a floating cushion and tugs the forcefield captured Porygon onto her lap before popping the bubble and holding it there. Theta.. isn't happy and might just be sulking. Not that its easy to tell...]

Besides, I don't want to over feed Theta. Maybe I should start with bits baby's first bytes.

[Alas, instant messaging is about as savvy with tech as Papyrus gets, and he doesn't get the return joke. If anyone asks, he never made one himself either.]

REALLY?? MAYBE YOU COULD WORK FOR THEM!! SOUNDS LIKE THEY HAVEN'T GOTTEN ALL THE BUGS WORKED OUT YET.

[Great, now he's thinking about virtual bug types.]

YOU CERTAINLY HAVE SOME COOL TECH! I WISH I HAD A POKE FORCEFIELD. SOME OF THEM...THEY BITE TOO MUCH.

[Darn Deino.]

Oooh, you're a Professor? What do you teach? I'm pretty stupid, so I really want to learn more!

[Darn. Washu could keep going with computer jokes for ages if she wanted.]

Oh, I might just do it anyway. Rewriting AI code is simple enough if you can figure out the base algorithms used to create the sentient mind of the intelligence in question.

[She has experience.]

But, I might just leave Theta the way it is. They seem to be happy enough with their obsolete coding that I may just have to note the basics for routine maintenance later on.

[As for the forcefield...]

I've noticed. It's a manifestation of my own abilities that comes in handy when dealing with destructive creatures.

Originally, I taught physics and astrophysics at the Science Academy back home. Though, that was some time ago. You could say I had to take a little hiatus from teach and just haven't went back yet.

[...Despite looking like she's twelve.]

Besides, if you're willing to learn then I wouldn't hall yourself stupid. Only idiots refuse to learn something new.

[She'd love his annoying brother then.]

UM...WHATEVER YOU CAN DO TO MAKE IT MORE GENIUS, THEN!!

[Way over his skull, all this nerd talk.]

OR NOT! OH, GUESS IT'S NOT MASS PRODUCED FOR SALE. OH WELL; A FORCE-FIELDED POKEMON CAN'T DO MUCH ANYWAY. IT'S TOO BAD YOU CAN'T CHANGE EVERY POKEMON'S NATURE. I HAD A REALLY NASTY GYRADOS, AND HAD TO TRADE HIM OFF.

I CAN UNDERSTAND BEING DANGEROUS AND BRUTAL. I'M LIKE THAT!!

[Or so he tries.]

BUT HE WAS JUST TOO MISBEHAVED.

It sounds to me you just didn't know how to handle a tough case.

[She's curious to find one for herself now....]

Most beings that are dangerous and brutal have their reasons. Well, most do. I've met one or two that were just plain psychopaths.

[He was about to protest that no, he was an EXCELLENT trainer and Gyrados just sucks! But hey, an out.]

YEAH I THINK HE WAS JUST LIKE THAT. AND WITH SO MANY OTHERS WITH BETTER NATURES, WHO HAS THE TIME!?

I FEEL BETTER ABOUT DITCHING IT ALREADY!! THANKS FOR THE PEP TALK, PORYGON-OWNER!!

[...Someone's getting shoved into the sociopathic category...]

Really? I'm finding the more challenging ones with hasty natures to be more entertaining. They remind me of a few people I know back home.

WELL, IF YOU LIKE TERRIBLE POKEMON, DO I HAVE SOME TRADES FOR YOU!! LET ME KNOW IF YOU'RE UP FOR THAT!!!

That depends.

What do you go?

[Pictures are sent accompanying each one.]

I HAVE A SOLOSIS! IT HAS TELEPATHY, WHICH I THOUGHT WOULD MAKE IT GOOD AT PEACEKEEPING. ALAS, IT'S TOO NAUGHTY.

SAME WITH THIS PANPOUR. IT WOULD RATHER GOOF OFF THAN WATER THINGS.

THEN THERE'S SURSKIT (WHO BECOMES MASQUERRAIN - VERY COOL!) AND LOTAD. THEY'RE ACTUALLY QUITE GREAT, I JUST HAVE TOO MANY!!

Lets see, that Solosis sounds like it might worth a trade, though I don't have much I could trade for it. Especially if you're looking for something that won't cause trouble.

THAT'S TOO BAD. I THOUGHT THEY MIGHT MATURE WHEN THEY EVOLVE, BUT SOME THINGS JUST DON'T CHANGE NO MATTER HOW BIG OR WEIRD THEY GET.

WHAT A SADNESS.

OH WELL, KEEP ME POSTED IF YOU DO! MY RANCH COULD USE THE BEST HELP IT CAN GET, AND IT WON'T HAVE IT TILL DIGLETT GETS THERE!

I guess it would depend on what kind of area you work in.

[Because that probably would narrow options down.]

Without that, I can just say there are universities and I believe a place that exists to study this world.

Well, if it helps, My main areas of study at the Science Academy were Philosophy and Science. I am fully capable of teaching classes on physics, astrophysics, biochemistry, computer science and pretty much any other scientific field you can name.

Though, I may be a little rusty teaching classes. It's been awhile.

I guess if it's something you haven't done in a long time it does take time to be able to get used to it again.

Though I assume Biochemistry is different to Chemistry?

Phyyyysiiiicsss...

[She makes a thoughtful noise, trying to decide what that means.]

Like the study of... physical stuff? Am I right? [Silly shakes her head,] I don't even know what it is.

Not quite.

[Washu sighs and then claps her hands after a moment. A large screen pops to life behind her as she quickly dons a professor's hat and grabs a wooden pointer from somewhere.

On the board are a bunch of physics formulas and the basic definition of what the science of physics pertains to.]

Physics is the natural science that studies matter, its motion and behavior through space and time, and that studies the related entities of energy and force. So in a matter of speaking, yes. It's studying Physical 'stuff' and what influences its motions.

Now, the one I specialized in was Astrophysics which has to do with the behavior of heavenly bodies and entities and what influences them within the galaxy. Admittedly, my research did go a little beyond the known universe at one point but, that's a different scientific principal all together.

In a manner of speaking. Biochemistry has to with the chemical and physicochemical processes and substances that occur within living organisms. Where as chemistry is a branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed; the investigation of their properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change; and the use of these processes to form new substances.
the chemical composition and properties of a substance or body.

[She grins a little and there might be a large holo screen popping up in the background with various formulas and even a periodic table on it.]

Essentially? One has to to with living things, the other is a little broader in what kind of chemical reactions you might study.

[She nodded slightly. She asked because she wanted to know more, so she was making sure to listen.]

Ah, and so both are used in different ways too. But either ay it really sounds like you would know a lot that many people I a sure would be interested in learning.
