[ and today on Judith Cam™, there is a HUGE 14 meter WHALE on camera. it is currently looming in front of a rather terrified looking surskit. his trainer? is looking curiously at them both. she is most likely torn with a deep, deep question. ]

"Rollout" wouldn't work too well here, would it?

[ . . . yeah. the wailord kind of bellows, as the surskit just... shivers and then faints at the sheer possibility of being crushed by all that whale.

oh. well. judith's just. going to throw that pokéball now and catch it. easily. ]


. . . Hm. The size advantage isn't exactly fair.

[ awkward silence, as some wild pokémon crawl onto the view of the feed. judith just stares at her pokéball for a moment. ]

It's kind of unfulfilling, actually.

[ . . . just watch the rest of the wild pokémon back up now, as the feed cuts off. ]

Ah. So you think getting hurt is better? [ she's kind of teasing. ] But I get it.

A better test, maybe. But yeah, I've been through both kinds of experiences myself multiple times each.

Getting hurt would mean that opponent has a competitive level of skill. [ just, matter of factly. she places a hand on the side of her wailord. ] So of course it'd be a better test.

It sounds to me like I'm not the only one who's had firsthand experience with that sort of test.

It's common sense, isn't it? [ a playful sort of dismissiveness. ]

I'd say it requires a little too much thought to be typical common sense.

I don't think you're giving common sense enough credit, Roy.

Trust me, after everything I've seen already, I think I'm giving it too much credit.

I think you're hurting common sense's feelings.

Then it's a good thing that it's an abstract concept!
