[There was an off Pokémon blinking into the camera before it was helpfully pulled back up— and the Applin itself scooped up but a larger/taller Pokémon with that sly playful smile in a playful way.]

Hello everyone! Once again, for those who do and don't know me, I am Clavell. I hope you all are having a pleasant day, even with these surprises I assume many have been gifted.

I do, of course, mean those eggs left in a basket and hatching! As most know, I am from a world where these wonderful creatures known as Pokémon exist, and am very happy to help those with questions about their new friends.

[Up popped his Rotomphone with a wide smile before flipping around, displaying the Pokédex app for all to see--]

A friend and I created a phone app some several months ago that you all may freely download that is filled with information about all sort of Pokémon from various regions; which you can download here- [There would be an attached download file for those who wished to download said Pokédex phone app.

And that was a warm smile from the older man--]

So once again, if you have any questions or need some sort of help? Please do not hesitate to contact me, or anyone else you may know to have helpful knowledge of Pokémon. I shall be at the park in Blossomcrown should some be near as well.

Good day.

[Clavell's ever-positive outlook makes Hijikata stop bemoaning his struggle, at least for the moment. "A very loyal fighting spirit"... honestly, that doesn't sound so bad at all. More and more, it seems like the Honedge might just be another well-matched pokémon for him.]

You've got a knack for seeing the potential of every and any pokémon, don't you?

[Well, that's what he's a subject matter expert for!]

I'll come over to the park, then you can take a look at it.

[He'll zap his new pokémon into the Level Ball that came with it and head off to Blossomcrown! (It seems like his household will remain filled with nothing but men... it's just like back home in the Shinsengumi!) Of course, he'll gladly soak up any additional information Clavell has to share - and take the opportunity to admire the scholar's own strong pokémon!]

After so many years of research, and then watching the students of the Academy grow and learn? I believe it nearly impossible not to be able to spot it.

[Spoken with such a deeply fondness. Being able to watch such a thing as those students grow, and be able to spot connections? Something he treasured. Deeply so.]

I shall be here- and easy to spot, I imagine.

[Gyarados was likely the easiest to spot, having landed and settle behind the bench where Clavell sat- the others of his team entertaining themselves close by; or like Abomasnow, napping in the shade under a tree.

Applin was enjoying a treat beside Clavell, and of course he would wave once he spotted Hijikata.]

[Of course, Hijikata brought Hinobuta along as well - he wouldn't deprive it of meeting with other pokémon! Seeing the larger ones, the Emboar gets visibly excited. Immediately picking the frosty Abomasnow as a potential new rival, it runs up to it for what looks like a boisterous self-introduction.]

Hinobuta, play nice! - Thanks for making time for us, Mister Clavell. My Honedge's in here.

[He hands to Level Ball over.]

By the way, what kind of ball is this? Is is a special one for ghost pokémon or something?

[Better the Abomasnow than the still airborne Gyarados, honestly; Abomasnow was far more even tempered and patient, even as a purple eye cracked open and a low rumbling came with it's own introduction. A bit of snowfall around the large pokémon despite the weather around.]

Someone is excited, I see- and of course. More than happy to make time for you and your partners.

[The Level Ball was taken carefully, the Rotomphone already moving around and initiating a scan- which of course brought up information Hijikata would have already found- but also the weight, height, and the fact this particular Honedge was male- which it flipped around to show.]

Ah, it is one of several specialized pokéballs that exist. Level Balls are typically used to make catching a wild pokémon more likely to succeed if it is at a lower level than your own pokémon. Catching a wild pokémon isn't always easy, even with items and battling to weaken it, and some trainers wish to strengthen their odds at a successful catch. Others do simply take a shine to the designs of various pokéball types, have one they prefer to use based on that, or a ball better suits their personal style of catching pokémon.

[Hinobuta seems fascinated by the Abomasnow's cold aura and tries to raise the heat around itself in competition, but since there's no outright bullying going on, Hijikata devotes his attention to the Rotomphone's analysis results and Clavell's explanation after one more warning glance at his pokémon.]

Huh... there must be entire design lines out there, I assume.

[Figures - catching and battling with pokémon is a competitive sport, so it stands to reason that it would come with the usual merchandise and coveted boons!]

I don't think we've got any wild pokémon here on Ellipsa, but it's not like I could spare this pokéball, anyway... after all each pokémon needs one, right? How does the ball adapt to its specific needs?
