2nd gear | video + action to goldenrod city

[paishodown]

[It's around midday, and Asami's 'Gear is propped up to record her sitting at a small table in the park. Her Riolu sits quietly beside her. The worn table is inlaid with a chess board, and the seat across from her is empty for now.]

Where I'm from, we have a game called Pai Sho.

[She speaks while she reaches into her bag to pull out a newly purchased chess set- mainly, the directions.]

It's a game of careful thinking and ruthless strategy. There doesn't seem to be a real equivalent here, but someone did point me toward this. Chess.

[Asami begins taking out the pieces and laying them out on the board.]

Anyone know anything about it?

[She'll be here for a while, reading over the rules and trying to teach Teruko how to play with her.]

Well, it's just like everything else here, I guess. Chess already seems very different, but it does require careful thought! Maybe even more so...

[Hmm]

If we ever cross paths I'd love to play a match against you!

[paishodown]

Sure! Did... I catch your name?

[quickattackjack]

You sure didn't! Jack Skellington at your service!

[Jack... Skellington? It sounds like a stage name.

Sure explains the look about this guy, though.]

Asami Sato. It's nice to meet you, Jack. I'd shake your hand, but...

[This whole 'talking through a screen' thing is still a little weird.]

Same for me! This poke'gear is marvelous but it does lack a few things. I think that's for the best though.

_{[Nobody could punch him through the screen.]}
