[So when the video starts there's Kaine looking confused and concerned, instead of just confused like always. And he's not irritated with things either, so something's definitely up today.]
I think there's something up with my bird.
[He moves the camera over to show a Xatu just sort of standing there. Staring. Straight ahead, or sort of with one eye towards the camera and the other intensely studying the wall behind it because of how Xatu's eyes are positioned. It's not the Espurr stare of death that everyone's probably seen from one broadcast or another or anything like that, but Kaine still finds it pretty unsettling.]
She didn't used to do this until she...changed.
[Evolved just doesn't sound right to him.]
And I checked the Pokedex, it says something about meditating or seeing the future or something like that, but is that really what it's doing? Because to be honest, it's starting to freak me the hell out.
[Because several hours of just staring is weird, okay?]
You guys all know this Pokemon crap better than I do, so I figure one of you can probably explain what's going on here.

[He should know, since his own has been a Xatu for quite a while. Staring into the abyss is his forte.]
You are welcome to ask if you really want to know what she is doing, but I wouldn't expect to receive much of an answer.
[Video possibly forever, who knows?]
[What is he even trying to say here?]
Normal...standards. Look, I don't exactly have the most normal life there is, but this? Not really anyone's definition of normal.

[Wow, even he knows he sounds stupid.]
Look, I just don't get how seeing the future is considered normal around here.
[Because even when he could do it years ago
during the dark age of Spider-Man comics, he didn't really consider it normal.]Or if it's not doing that, staring at things for hours.
no subject
I'm amazed you've been here for any length of time and don't know by now that Pokemon are rather known for being able to do things that are considered 'not normal'. Seeing into the future is just as abnormal as breathing fire would be, isn't it?
no subject
[At least he thinks that's the case.]
And I've seen a bunch of weird Pokemon here, I mean I even picked up one of those stupid keychain ones, but this is new. She didn't do this before. She just went out of her way to drive me up a wall.
[Pun not really intended.]
Which she's still doing, I guess.
no subject
[He's...very quiet. Very concentrated all the time.]
I don't know what else to tell you, but your Pokemon isn't acting any stranger than it might have normally. That is just the way they are.
no subject
[Okay, there was still probably staring, but he didn't notice that so much as the whole dragging him into the neverending forest thing.]
Great. So I'll just have to get used to it then. Like they keychains. And all the other stupid crap that happens here.
no subject
[Way to be an optimist, Nagi.]
no subject
[...wow that was a weak comeback. He's just annoyed that he's been here for months and keeps finding new things to be irritated or confused by and everyone else just seems to roll with it. Clearly there's just something wrong with everyone else here.]

You'll survive.

Sounds like you have nothing to worry about, then.

But if the pokedex said that's what they do, then... that's what she's doing.

[Actually, never mind he's got a different question other than going in circles about how weird that is.]
How do they know that's what it's doing anyway?

[He has no idea what's in most of Johto since he took the Kanto ferry and never looked back.
Except to complain about Kanto.]

[Which doesn't mean he's interested in seeing them, just that he wasn't aware of..most things in Johto. Besides some big city, a park, and New Bark Town.
And apparently now these ruins.]

If you do visit it, don't do the puzzles. They're booby trapped.

[He'd ask if Raikov's serious, but no, he's been here too long to even bother with that.]
Of course there's trap doors. I don't even know why I'm still surprised by things like that.
