Oh, a Floette?  He looks back at it with a small smile, disarming, but perhaps simply an expression of that he had no ill-intent towards it.

When he was offered the paper, he took it, then offered a Pokébean in return, beginning to read the note and analyze the handwriting for recognizability.  When he found he didn’t really recognize it, though perhaps that was for lack of trying, he supposed he should respond so the poor Floette wouldn’t be forced to hover around him all day.

“Name: Loch

Occupation: Team Skull MemAdmin”

He read over his options for a while--all of them sounded wonderful, although he didn’t know where he would keep such a thing. . . .  They could always use more food at Shady House.  Their Pokémon could always use space to play.  Somewhere to relax is always welcome for the stressed out admins and the anxious folks of Shady.  Weeds, wildflowers, and bugs would attract Pokémon. . . .

Would he have to care for the garden?  He was no green thumb. . . .

Eventually he went with “F. Other,” writing in the space in somewhat sloppy handwriting, that was legible but not as neat as anticipated from the gangster,

“I have a Pokémon that feeds off of vitality of living things. I would like to try and feed her the vitality of plants and have it be a renewable resource. She enjoys varying flavors, and I don’t want to deprive her too much of enjoyable substance.  Please make the choice for me that you think would best benefit this situation.  Thank you for your interest, and good luck with your gardening.”

“No, Ruffles, that was lettuce.”  Loch sighs--but she didn’t normally eat plants so he supposed it wasn’t hard for her not to know better.  He had to experiment to see what kinds of things would last longer for her. . .actually, now that he thought about it, if she ate vitality of living things, wouldn’t she be able to eat live plants, too. . .?  She’d just wind up wilting them, but they can be regrown. . . . “The bread was the tan and white stuff on the e--”

"Aaah, well. . . ." Those were easy answers, but still, how to word them. . . . "A Pokémon is. . .any number of particularly capable monsters, living or otherwise. They're able to perform certain moves using. . .certain powers humans and simpler creatures typically lack, that allow them to manipulate certain properties in the world. You, as an Ultra Beast, are somewhat considered to be a Pokémon, albeit from another dimension."

That was. . .reasonable, right? He'd never had to explain just what a Pokémon was before. . .but he thinks he did reasonably well.

"A camera is a device that creates pictures--which are, aah. . .still images of. . .sights. They're like memories in small, physical, visual form, but they capture only a single moment."

From what he recalled learning about UB-Burst, the former was most likely.  Although it was rather unsettling, considering the explosive qualities of the thing’s head. . . .
