[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.

I don't know about that. I saw one on the network once that was especially creepy. Hard to top that. And yeah, but...

[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?

I asked the nurse at one of the Poke Centers and she said different scientists do extensive research on each species before the information is made public.

[theotherother]

I guess that makes sense for most things, but how do you research it seeing the future?

[majorcrotchgrab]

Oh... Maybe there's... ancient text depicting so? Sort of like the Ruins of Alph.

[theotherother]

The ruins of what?

[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.]

[majorcrotchgrab]

They're located near Violet City.

video;

[theotherother]

Oh. Didn't know there was anything like that here.

[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.]

[Yeah. Raikov has mixed feelings on that place.]

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

video;

[theotherother]

What do you mean booby trapped?

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

I mean the floors collapse if you attempt to try one and get it wrong.

video;

[theotherother]

Wouldn't they all fall apart if everyone got them wrong, then?

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

It's more like a trap door.

video;

[theotherother]

Trap doors?

[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.

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

Yeah. I've heard people have gotten stuck down there for days.

video;

[theotherother]

That's kind of...horrifying.

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

I imagine so. The 30 minutes I was there was terrifying enough.
