[So Perry decided to go check out the Sprout Tower after finally making his way to Violet City and found himself charmed by a pretty cute Pokemon in there and decided to catch him.

And, well... after he read the Pokedex entry for the guy...]

Can people please tell me if the Pokedex entry for Phantump is just a legend or not?

Because if it's true why are people letting this poor thing fight?

It shouldn't be allowed.

[If you were able to see him, Perry is currently tearing up a little while hugging a slightly confused Phantump.

Yeah that Pokedex entry might have struck a chord with him.]

...I probably could have worded that better, but not exactly.

You can still die, but it isn't permanent. Like...I've been told that anyone who "dies" ends up just disappearing. Then, they reappear at a Pokemon Center and wake up unharmed and well again.

That's strange.

I admit I'm kind of curious about it now.

...I would still be careful. I'm pretty sure that actually dying probably isn't any less pleasant, even though you'll come back.

Don't worry, I'm not that curious.

Just in the very unlikely event that I end up somehow dying, it might be interesting to see how it plays out.

[Interesting, if not straight up macabre, maybe.]

I see...hopefully that doesn't happen, either way.

Is your Pokemon doing okay, by the way? You seemed worried about it.

He's fine, if a little lonely. I was mostly reacting to his Pokedex entry.

It kind of made me think of someone I knew.

[samsa]

I understand. It's probably for the best that he's with you, if that's the case. You'll be able to keep him company.

Thank you.

He's already seeming a bit less awkward than when I first ran into him, so I'm hoping that's a good sign.

I'm sure he appreciates being with you. He must have been lonely.
