Angelic Pastimes

[can_not_fly]

[So thanks to a certain aspiring scientist, Pit has discovered the magic of... videogames! (Insert dramatic sound here). It's not hard to guess he's going to take to them like a fish to water...

[...so some time later you might find him in a corridor, talking loudly to a portable console]

...come on, Snuggles! sit! Sit! No, wait! I have treats! [The virtual pet, instead, decides to go away. Pit slumps his shoulders] Awww...
I guess pets really aren't your thing?
[Pit hangs his head even lower for a bit before shaking it and turning the console off, and putting in another game.]
Bah, whatever, that game was stupid and I didn't really want to play it anyway!
Suuuuure...
[He looks over the borrowed games] Let's see what else is here...

[Some time later, if you happen to pass by Pit's room, you'll find the door is open, and that he's managed to get ahold of an old console and connected it to the TV, and is playing it enthusiastically. More interesting, however, is that he's not playing alone - there's a beautiful, unknown greenhaired woman in a white dress holding the second controller.

And, from the sounds coming out of the room, apparently schooling his ass into next week.]

Oh come ON! You're totally watching my side of the screen! How did you even know I was there?
Oh, don't be a sore loser, Pit. It's just a game. [Her smile, however, expresses her satisfaction at winning pretty visibly]

Well if they're going to be jerks when I try to be nice to them no I don't! [The sour grapes here are obvious]
Pit really wants a puppy, but it seems dogs don't like him too much. Even virtual ones

[no_wan_no_life]

Ah. A virtual being may behave differently than a normal one.

Perhaps... you would have better luck with a flesh and blood creature.

[can_not_fly]

[For all response, Pit sulkily grumblemumbles something about real puppies and getting continuously bitten for his trouble. Apparently Pit's luck with dogs is about the same as a certain Sakaki has with cats.]

[no_wan_no_life]

Oh...

Maybe you should try another game, then.

[Out of ideas so quickly?]

[can_not_fly]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking! Hey, Lan, do you know any of these? [And Pit shows her the small case where he has all the games he's borrowed] I have no idea what any of these are about, so suggestions would be neat!

[no_wan_no_life]

Oh.
I thought you knew.

[Because she doesn't either.]

[can_not_fly]

Nope. I just borrowed them just now. Let's see what's here... "Po-ké-mon". What do you think this one'll be about?

[no_wan_no_life]

Pocket... poking... mons? One or the other.

...

What is a mon?

[can_not_fly]

...I have no idea. Maybe that monstery thing in the cartridge is a "mon"?

[no_wan_no_life]

M... monsters? But the cartridge's image did not look monstrous at all...

[Yeah, Lan can't handle even virtual ones really well.]

[can_not_fly]

I dunno, it had wings and claws and weird body parts and looked pretty impossible for an animal. That's pretty monstery.

Well, anyway, only one way to find out! [And Pits puts the cartridge into the console]
