[He looks around, confused] What the fuck is a Jigglypuff? [There...appears to just be the usual warehouse stuff]

Hold on hold on hold on. I'll catch it then show you! [And then she's cursing at the jigglypuff because it takes six pokeballs to catch...]

[He stares at her peering at her phone, baffled as she continuously makes a new motion with it. He's used to her super fast texting fingers, her scrolling through social media sites motions, and others, but this is...different.]

You've been staring at your phone more than usual lately...what's up? [Although he looks terribly amused at her cursing. Megan on a swearing jag was somewhat uncommon, and it was always kind of hilarious to hear such words coming from someone who was so adorable. Now, when he could make her say those words...his mind wandered for a bit as she finished off her Jigglypuff]

YeeeSSSSSS! I CAUGHT THE JIGGLYPUFF!

[And then she will show him the picture she also took, and be rather proud with herself]

Pokemon.

[He looks at it, then at her, and shrugs] It's...definitely your color?

~And it's mine, so back off.~

No! I was here first! And anyway we can both catch it.

We can go find a Zubat for you. You'll like that one better.

I like that one. It reminds me of you.

...But if there are vampire bats in this game, we must kill them.

You don't kill them. You collect them and feed them candy and stardust and evolve them.

...wait. Did you just call me fat?

...Why would I want to feed a vampire? Let alone evolve it?

No. You are very pink and very cute. Also, you're smiling more often than you're not.

Because then you can use it in the pokegym to fight other creatures.

...I am pretty pink and cute. But not chubby.

Do the other creatures kill it?

[shakes his head] Megan, who in their right mind would ever call you chubby?

Um. No... no one dies. It's not that kind of game.

You did just say I looked like a jigglypuff.

Is his one of those games that makes vampires look good? [skeptical]

No, I said it reminds me of you. Because I know it's something you'd get excited over.

No. They're definitively not the coolest Pokemon.

Play with me? It's more to play with other people.

Can you explain the game to me? I caved into pressure and created an account, but .. now what?

You walk around and when a Pokemon appears you throw the little ball at it to catch it.
There's not a lot to explain.

I can't .. I seem to be having a difficult time capturing the ones that fly.

Oooh. You mean the Zubat and stuff? Yeah... the little one are hard to catch! You just gotta practice!

I've run out of the pokeballs. I tried capturing one of them and lost 20.

I find this game to be frustrating, but I can't stop playing it. [He laughs.]

Oh! Then you have to go to the Pokestops... Those are the little blue places on the map. Spin the sign and you'll get stuff like Pokeballs.

[He sighs.] How did you learn all of this? I feel so old, fumbling with new-fangled technology.

I dunno... I just kinda messed around with it. You figure it out as you go. That's the fun of it.

I guess I just have to .. figure it out. And avoid getting hit by a car.
