Does anyone have any tips on how to help grieving Psychic type Pokemon? Especially when you're not exactly at your most chipper either, so they're picking up on it, and it's just making things worse.

I've tried to give them space, but I don't think it's helping. They weren't originally mine, and I think they're still upset about having lost their previous trainer.

Psychic-type or not, it doesn't matter. All Pokémon are Pokémon, and they all feel bad...

Maybe instead of giving them space, you could kinda... get a little closer, I guess? When stuff like that happened to me, I hated to be alone. I wanted someone to listen and hug me and tell me it was gonna be okay, you know? Even if they couldn't actually make it okay, it felt nice just for someone to be there.

I dunno if that helps. Might not be how humans do it. But that's how I do it.

Well, they're not human either. Maybe it'll help. Than you.

If it's not too rude to ask, what are you if you're not a human? I'm just curious.

[cawsforalarm]

Oh, I'm human! But I always hung out with animals, not humans.

[ladywithnovoice]

Oh that's interesting. I think that makes you even more qualified for advice.

What kind of animals did you hang out with?

[cawsforalarm]

Like, all of them? I used to travel around a lot in my homeworld, so I got to meet a lot of different animals. We always ended up leaving sooner or later so I had to say goodbye, but it was nice while it lasted.

[ladywithnovoice]

That's amazing. I'm kind of jealous that you got to travel so much.

Have you talked with that many Pokemon here?

[cawsforalarm]

Yeah, well, I did it for my job, so it wasn't all for funsies. We usually set up camp because there were none of your crow-tels that you have around here.

[See what he did there? Eh? Eh?]

And yeah!!! Even in the big cities, Pokémon are literally EVERYWHERE. Which is great! It shows they can adapt to their environment, even when humans mess it up!

[ladywithnovoice]

Ha ha, very nice. (ᗒᗜᗕ)՛̵̖

They really are impressive! Even different cities have different Pokemon that have adapted to them. It feels like no matter what, they can make themselves at home.

[cawsforalarm]

Why thank you.

Well, Pokémon are resilient... like the ones who you just met. They'll keep on living... you just kinda gotta sit with 'em and listen to their problems.

Well, you won't understand what they say, but you know.

[ladywithnovoice]

It's true.

Fortunately, there's a lot to live for here.

[cawsforalarm]

Hehe, you think so?

I don't 'live for' much of anything, I just kind of keep on keeping on. [And has as much fun as possible on the way, of course.]

There's nothing that's ever caught your attention?
