A couple of days later you are in Stark's office. "I'm glad you two could make it." He says. "Listen, this is just a proposition... But if you want, how would you too like to earn some decent money for the day?"
"Shoot, I'm in, how so?" Perona asks.
"By providing security for a special event in New York I happen to be sponsoring." Stark says as he lays down a small flier.
New York City Annual Invitational Pokemon Contest!

"What the hell is a Pokemon?" Zoro asks.

"Pokemon are these creatures from this other dimension that have many special powers and abilities... Humans and Pokemon share this dimension, and often train Pokemon for many purposes... Two of the most popular Pokemon related activities being battling, and contests." Stark says. "I happen to have some pictures of some." He says as he activates a monitor. Upon viewing the creatures on it, Perona instantly looses it.
"IIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! OHMYGODTHEY'RESOOOOOOOCUTE!!! IWANTONEIWANTONEIWANTONEIWANTONEIWANTONEIWANTONEIWANTONEIWANTONEIWANTONEIWANTONEIWANTONEIWANTONE!!!"

"Gah! SHUT UP WILL YA?!" Zoro screams as Perona gushes over the overly cute creature. "So these things are trained to battle... Are they part of the military or something?"

"No... Suprisingly not... They are used by criminals, and police alike... But for the most part it's a relatively peacefull world. They mostly battle Pokemon f against each other for sport... It sounds horrible, but it's actually quite humane. For one thing Pokemon never seem to die battling each other. They just knock each other out... Also in some cases, they actually provide better medical care for Pokemon there, than we do for humans in this world."

"Sounds interesting enough... How do you get one of these things..." Zoro asks, honestly intrigued. He silently wondered if any of them used swords, but he didn't hold out hope.

"Well you recieve one Pokemon when you apply for a liscence. Then you go around battling and catching wild Pokemon in these." He puts up a picture of a ball. "It's a Pokeball, it converts matter into Energy for easy storage."

Blinking a couple of times Zoro thought about it "Sounds interesting... " He repeats, still wondering if any use swords "So do you get a choice, or is there a predetermined starter..." Curiosity was funny when it got a hold of you, and Zoro had it bad this time.

"Usually there are 3 determined starters you can choose from... A fire type, a water type, or a grass type." He explains.

"He brings out 3 pictures of 3 different reptiles.
A green lizard with a large bulb on it's back
a salamander-like creature with it's tail on fire.
And a blue turtle.
"These are Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle." He explains.

Zoro tried to picture himself with each one..
The first looked like a frog... with a flower... He'd never hear the end of it from Sanji...
The second... oh god... he just saw the Thousand Sunny on fire...
And the third... a Blue turtle... Sanji and Luffy would eat him...
"Any with weapons?" He asks.

"Well several have claws, fangs, and horns, but if you mean unique... Then..." He brings up.
a dinosaur with a skull for a helmet, and carrying a bone for a club.
A duck holding a leek
And finally a strange mantis-like creature with 2 blades for arms.

Pointing instantly at the bladed one he says "That one... How do I get one of those."

Stark looks at you for a moment. "Well the best way would be to go to their dimension and catch one in the wild.... You could probably find one in this world on the black market if you were desperate enough... Although I don't recomend that."
"However.... There is a small Pokemon preserve in Central Park, where Pokemon from that dimension are imported there, and you can try to catch one for a small fee. They might have a Scyther or 2 there. I don't know."
