WHO: Eve
WHERE: Libra network
WHEN: Mid-June
WHAT: Eve asking about one of her Goodwill purchases, toys for Pokemon
WARNINGS: None


Hello. A question for the Pokemon experts:

[Attached is a photo of a standard frisbee.]

I've seen people using these as dog toys. Would it also work for Pokemon?

Okay. Frisbees. It's as simple as throwing it?

[There is a short delay before a photo is attached: one of her legendary dog sitting at attention, alert and regal looking... and an Eevee sprawled over her armchair cushions like a sack of potatoes in the background.]

I've been told they are Null: Type and Eevee. Will Eevee be large enough?

[There's no question about Null: Type.]

[droptheious]

Sure! You've got to get the right arm action to really make it fly, but it's that easy!

[ Oh no, they're so adorable though! He wants to know how the holy hell she got a Null: Type, but he ain't delving into that. That feels like a Yuuki Problem. ]

I mean, so long as you don't throw it too hard or high, I think so?

[playtag]

I see.

So what is "the right arm action?"

[Eve may have tried the frisbee toss before, only for it to plop right to the earth. But she's not telling.]

[It is absolutely a Yuuki problem, one that he already knows about. At least Eve read through his legendary Pokemon care materials!]

[droptheious]

Oh, that's easy!

[And lo, Varian will go into a long-winded, math and science-oriented explanation of the perfect throw. There are a lot of words in there like "optimum lift" and "wind resistance". There are at least two equations in there. He's pretty thorough about it! ]

And then you should be able to throw it perfectly!

[playtag]

[And Eve will be taking all of this down. Yes, even the math equations. Somehow she comprehends his long-winded explanation better than just... attempting the throw a couple more times.]

So that's how you do it. Seems simple enough.

Thanks!

[droptheious]

[ This is why she's one of his favourites! ]

Right! Once you get it down to basics, it's pretty easy!

[ Someone let these kids out of the mathletes so they can get social lives. ]
