[Are you in the vicinity of Community Building 1 today?

Yes?

Good! Because you arrived just in time to witness a man jumping off one of its highest windows!

Though maybe "jumping" isn't the right word. "Leaping" is more like it. Leaping with his arms (and wings!) outstretched, even. Is he a bird? A plane? Superman? Nope, ladies and gentlemen! Merely an average human being, jumping out of windows as average human beings are wont to do!
...
All right, that was a bare-faced lie. His jumping is much cooler than that of an average human being!

But now isn't the time to gape at his athletic prowess. The ground is approaching awfully fast, even if it's true he doesn't seem too bothered by it. Could it be he has an ace up his sleeve?

Why, of course he does. He's a magician after all.

But you might not know that.]

[Watches. Just. Watches. Okay finally calling up.]

Those tiny wings aren't enough to fly on, I hope you know. [All the deadpan as if it was casual information, not at all vital thanks to Eucine falling to his death.]

[hark_a_suicune]

[Eusine is a bit too busy falling to his death to understand what you just said, but he does notice you shouting at him down there!
... Oh wait, he's only falling to his death as long as he's not using one of his Pokémon. Let's fix that, shall we? Aaand out Electrode goes! Landing on his giant hovering ball and reaching the ground safely is only a formality after that. Hi Marco!]

I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that!

[fierybluebird]

[Waves numbly. Well that was weird. Then he points to the electrode.]

Uh... what is that? [Please don't say it's a big bouncing ball, he'll never be able to take him serious if he does.]

[hark_a_suicune]

[It's a big bouncing ball- okay no
But hey, he looks proud of his freakishly big ball! It's true you didn't get to actually see his Pokémon, since he'd lost his balls snerk the first time around.
Well, now is the perfect time to fix that!]

That, is Electrode! An electric-type and my oldest Pokémon!

[fierybluebird]

"Electric" type? How so?

[hark_a_suicune]

[Oh right, you can't instinctively know what Pokémon types are. No problem. He got this.]

Pokémon can be classified into several categories, depending on what their abilities are. These "types", as we call them, determine what a Pokémon's strengths and weaknesses are!

[fierybluebird]

So like logia, zoan, and paramecia. [Except that those three don't have strengths and weaknesses according to being one of the three, but Marco is thinking of it more like "characteristics" anyway.]

How many Pokemon types are there?

[hark_a_suicune]

There are seventeen types in all! Many Pokémon have two types, though. Jumpluff, for example- [He releases a cottonball-looking Pokémon who has the most ":3" face you'll ever see] is a grass-type as well as a flying-type!

[fierybluebird]

Ehhh? Okay, what do the types mean? They're like both logia and zoan??
