A Steel and Ghost-type Pokemon that is also known as a Sword Pokemon.

[Judging by how he squints his eyes when he saw the professor, he can guess that this young man has sight difficulties. Thankfully, he manages to find his glasses unharmed near his foot as he picks it up and offers it to him.]

And where are my manners? My name is Augustine Sycamore, I'm a Pokemon Professor. As for the Pokemon, they are magical creatures that used to live back in my world.

O-oh, thank you, Professor. [Yuuri smiles at him gratefully when he realizes what the professor's holding out to him, and defaults to the politer form of address immediately. The man's image sharpens once the glasses are back on his nose where they belong.] It's nice to meet you--I'm really sorry about running into you just now...

Wait. You said... pokemon? [Suddenly, he's pausing, frowning as he tries to recall why that sounds so familiar.] Oh! Is there one that looks like a fire horse?

That's alright.

[But once the young man mentioned about a Pokemon that looked like a fire horse, he is surprised about this. Does that mean he met Ivar before?]

Why yes. That is Ponyta and it's evolution, Rapidash. Why did you ask?

I've seen one around the apartments before, that's all. [Now he's torn between confusion and curiosity.] He said there were a lot of different types of pokemon, but I didn't think they'd look that different.

[Yuuri turns, staring in the direction the Honedge had floated off.] So that's one type of Pokemon, too? [He's relieved. Honestly, "magical creature" is a huge step up from "haunted sword" like he'd originally thought.] I wonder what it wants... it's been following me the whole day.

To be honest, there are many Pokemon that are discovered every year to the point that we can't even count how many different kinds of Pokemon back home.

[Following him? Well, that's a strange behavior that the Honedge from earlier just got.]

Really? How did you encounter it in the first place then?

Ah, my friend and I were looking in a weapons shop earlier and we came across it there.

[Yuuri bites his lip, suddenly sheepish.] I wonder if it's upset that I grabbed it?

[That explains everything as he knew that no one should touch a Honedge's hilt.]

I think so. Honedge is known for their dislike of anyone who will touch their hilt like a real sword. You're just lucky you managed to escape from it before it can do anything else to you.

Oh no. [Yuuri clutches at his face now, looking horrified. He's definitely regretting even going into the shop now, especially when it sounds like it could get much worse. ]

Do you think it's going to come back? What should I do if it does?

[Luckily for Yuuri, Sycamore has some other options rather than running away.]

Just calm down for a second. You said you found the Honedge at the weapon shop, correct.

Since you only grabbed it by accident, I think we should try to reason with it when it returns and I hope that it might accept your apology for that small incident.

You think that'll work? [Admittedly, trying to reason with a magical creature that looks like a haunted sword sounds pretty dubious to him, but this guy is an expert on them. Besides, Ivar's fire horse had seemed pretty intelligent, albeit fidgety and shy.

Yuuri exhales shakily and nods.] Okay, I guess we can give it a shot. What do I need to do?

It might be. If not, the only other option is to battle it.

[Again, he is still worried about that option as the young man isn't an experienced Pokemon trainer. Still, it's only an emergency action he will have to take when that happens.]

The first thing we should do is to calm it down when it shows itself. However, I suggest you have to avoid it's blue sash when it might attack you.

B-battling it? [That... definitely hadn't come up when he's been playing with the fire horse, though Yuuri remembers that Ivar had said something about...catching?]

How do you even battle something like that?

[If it has anything to do with actual sword fighting, Yuuri knows that he'd be pretty doomed.]

By using your Pokemon against it. That's what Pokemon battle is all about.

[He is aware of another kind of battling, but when it comes to Pokemon, he knew a Pokemon battle would be the best option than using swords and magic against it.]

But since you're new about this, I'll try to battle it with my Garchomp.

So that's...normal in your world. The magical creatures battling each other?

[Though he's a bit confused by how all this works, he can't deny he's a little curious about what magical creature the professor might have. Yuuri looks around them, expecting to see--well, something.]

Is your Garchomp here with you?

Why yes. But Pokemon battles is not only for defense and captures, it is another way for trainers and Pokemon to test their training together and the bonds they formed.

[When he asks abou his Mach Pokemon's whereabouts, he takes out his Poke Ball from his pocket to show him.]

Right here. It may look very small, but Garchomp is right inside the Poke Ball.

Training and bonding together doesn't sound so bad... [He's still not sure what to make of the battling, but there's plenty of time to ask the professor about it later.

Yuuri does look at the poke ball with some shock, though.]

But... you're right, it's so small. How does anything fit in there?

[He doesn't say anything else when Yuuri asked that question. Instead, he tosses his Poke Ball up in the air, which it pops open and releases a blue energy that transforms into his Mach Pokemon.

Regardless of Yuuri's reaction, Sycamore remained calm as he pets his Garchomp on her snout, much to her delight.]

I think that should answer your question. But I might not able to answer about the Poke Ball's mechanics. Trust me, it's a little bit complicated.

That's--wow. [It's hard to believe that a pokemon that size could fit into the tiny poke ball, but he can't deny it when he saw it with his own eyes.]

That's okay. [He watches with interest as the fierce looking pokemon accepts the professor's petting happily.] As long as it's comfortable and it works--

[Yuuri never gets to finish his sentence, because that's when the Honedge decides to come back, circling around him and the professor.]

[Talk about a good timing. Despite that Garchomp is ready to defend him and the young boy, Augustine stops her before she can even attack as he puts his hand to Yuuri's shoulder.]

Don't worry. Remember, try to stay calm make sure to reason and apologize with it before anything else.

R-right.... [Yuuri nods, turning back to the pokemon that's still hovering near them. Okay. Apologizing to a magical sword creature. He can definitely do that. Maybe. Probably.

He bows to the pokemon, all politeness.] I'm sorry I grabbed you! I wouldn't have, if I'd known what you were!

[Slowly, the Honedge drifts closer until it's hovering just before him. The silence drags on, like it's judging Yuuri very carefully before it decides what to do.

Yuuri just keeps his head down and tries not to fidget too much as he waits.]

[As he watches him apologized to the Sword Pokemon, Sycamore is still holding his Garchomp down to prevent her from intervening with brute force while he still hopes that it might understand the young man's reasons behind that little accident.]

[Just as Yuuri's starting to wonder if this was all a mistake, the Honedge reaches out with its blue sash and steals Yuuri's glasses from where they're dangling off his nose. With a hollow little laugh, it rises up into the air and circles around both professor and confused skater again.

Yuuri straightens up, one hand rubbing at his nose where his glasses had sat earlier. Tentatively, he looks over at the blurry professor again.]

Ah... do you think that means it's accepted my apology?

[At least it's not attacking him anymore--that has to be a good sign, right?]

[Not the reaction he was expecting, but at least it doesn't show any hostility. Yet, he is confused at how the Sword Pokemon just stole his glasses like that. Does that mean it has a mischievous personality?]

I think so... Although, I'm more curious at Honedge's personality.

[Yuuri squints in the direction of the metallic blob, wise enough not to protest and demand his glasses be returned yet.]

Are they normally not like that?

[If anyone would know, it's probably the professor.]

[Once he takes a closer look at the Sword Pokemon, he realizes that it somehow is attracted at the skater for some reason.]

Most likely, yes. But for some reason, this Honedge somehow takes a liking on you.
