[Someone's looking a little bedraggled as he sits in the Pokemon Center, which is why the entry that appears on the network is text instead of video like his Porygon originally wanted. Oh well. At least Philip is taking his advice on something...]

If there is anyone interested in either a Ninjask or Shedinja, please contact me with your name and location so I might transfer one or both to you. I have completed my research and have no more use for them.

They are of average height and weight for their species, according to the pokedex, and have reached level 20. The Ninjask is female, though the Shedinja no longer has a gender upon evolution. I imagine it is due to being more of a husk left behind after the metamorphosis than its own individual, though exuviae can be used in my world to determine the sex and species of the animal it was left from. They have not been nicknamed. They are pictured below, with the Ninjask on the left and the Shedinja on the right.

It has not been explicitly stated that Honey is a child. However, I do not feel age is particularly relevant. I believe by most societies, I would be considered quite young myself.

[Philip actually finds the weird emoticons comforting, oops.]

Considering the concern he has expressed over my treatment of the pair during my studies, I do not feel I have anything to worry about. Besides, Nina-chan would be a bit big for a bulletin board, I think.

He writes like a kid. You ever seen anybody over the age of ten drawing little hearts all over their correspondence?

And what kind of name is Nina Chan? Is the other one named Jackie?

Yes. I know a twenty-year-old woman who does so frequently.

I do not know what the other trainer intends to name the Shedinja. I would assume the 'Nina' comes from her being a female Ninjask. From what I can tell, Honey has a habit of adding the honorific '-chan' to everyone's name. It appears he enjoys many cute things, and considers that to be one of them.

So I'm talking to a kid or a twenty-year-old woman. Either way, I'd raise some eyebrows at their interest in a giant bug.

Especially one who thinks they're cute.

Now that I have asked, I can inform you that he is an eighteen-year-old male, soon to be nineteen. Did you know that there is a day that appears only once every four years? It's February 29th. It seems it will not show up this year, however.

[...Er. Yeah.]

I don't believe Honey is interested in her based on her appearance or the fact that she is a Bug-type. It seems he simply thinks of her as an opportunity for another friend. That is why I have no misgivings about the situation.

Yeah, it's because of an anomaly with the calendar. The length of time we assign to a standard day isn't precise for measuring a standard year because the length of a day and the length of a year have nothing to do with each other — one's about the Earth's rotation and the other's about revolution around the sun. But rather than making a whole new calendar, we just kinda taped some band-aids over the one we had, and one of those is throwing in an extra day every four years to make stuff balance out.

[...Why are they even talking about this again? Whatever.]

And you know what? Whatever floats his boat.

[Because Philip likes to share new and exciting information! Except Albert doesn't seem very excited about it...]

Fascinating. I had been considering such an explanation once I learned about it.

I am currently at the Pokemon Center. What is the account name I will be sending Nina-chan to?

Albert Rosenfield. Saffron City center. If you give me five minutes I can be at the computer and pick her up right away.
