Welcome!
In just a few moments, you'll be transported into a world inhabited only by pokemon.
Before that though, there is one thing we must do together to prepare you for the role you are about to take.
To survive in this world, a human such as yourself must take on the form of a pokemon, so that you will be able to properly defend yourself. I will ask you a series of questions, and by the end, I'll be able to give you the most optimal form foryour spirit.
Trust yourself, and don't overthink your answers. Say what you feel is right, and say it with honesty; you have nothing to hide here.
Are you ready? Then, we can begin.
What would you say is your best quality?
I'd have to say… I'm tough, I guess? I don't mind hard work all that much. Does that work for an answer?
If there is one thing you could change about yourself, what would it be?
Umm… my sleeping habits, probably.
…
...Do you mean what would I change about my personality?
…
Fine, whatever- I guess… I could maybe be a little bit better at taking criticism.
…
What more do you want? I told you my answer.
…
I… Criticism gets to me, because I don't like people seeing me for my weaknesses. I wish I was more comfortable showing people the real me… Why did I- Why did I say that?
Do you prefer to work alone?
Are you forcing me to answer?
…
God… Yeah- I do. I don't like having other people get in the way of something I could just do myself.
How do you handle adapting to new situations?
Considering the fact that I'm even agreeing to this in the first place, I'd say I handle them pretty well.
If you had to choose, what would you say is your worst quality?
Isn't this the same as that other question?
…
Fuck… well since I know I can't lie- I guess… I push people away too much. I don't like asking for help when I have a problem, I don't like having to lean on anyone, and I don't like owing anyone any favors. Happy?
What are you most afraid of?
…
...
...Being alone. I mean- truly alone, like nobody knows me or cares about me at all. I'm afraid that if I fail at this, that nobody will remember me at all or even care. Obviously you don't- but if not you, then who else is there?
…
…
When duty calls, will you answer?
What?
…
…
…
Will I get a choice? What duties will I have to carry out?
When duty calls, will you answer?
… Yes? If I say that, will you let me continue?
…
...
I believe I understand now what type of person you are.
You're the type who's often alone, lost in your own head or caught up in your own business. You're like a passenger riding a train to nowhere, living in the moment, but content to just watch and listen as the world hustles and bustles. Some might think you're lonely, and to an extent that's true. You don't have many friends, and you aren't the most talkative, but you show up when it really counts, like when your friends need someone strong and decisive to be their rock in a shaky or uncertain scenario.
Wait, what? How did- How did you come to that-
Though strength is a virtue, the tree that never bends will eventually break under the howling wind. A person who is always strong is hiding a part of themselves- an important one. Vulnerability can be strength, and it is the only way to continue onward, like a tree falls bare in the fall or an athlete rests after a triathlon. You can sometimes push yourself too hard or withdraw at a time when you need others most. Remember that you are like the leaves, shed in autumn so that they can grow back even more beautiful in the spring.
What does that even mean? Damn it, could you just-
It seems clearer to me now. Your soul is the calming oak, the stone and the soil on which we all live, the dried leaves that fall to the ground to nurture the roots of the trees. You are a cycle that's long overdue for repeating, a dammed river eager to burst. You are unwavering. Yet, you must be ever-changing. Just like the forests and the earth, though you change, you aren't ever destroyed.
A lonely type like you would be...
A Mudkip.
Cool, but are you gonna explain-
Now, are you ready? You're about to enter the world of pokemon. Stay strong, be brave, and trust yourself. This world will be harsh, but if I chose right, and I believe I did, then it will not get the best of you.
No, wait!-
I wish you the best of luck, Nona.
