Professor Oak makes some weird faces in this scene... Makes screencaps hard.
On the other hand, his "Shocking, isn't it?" was pure gold. I had to use it.
Just to be clear, the gamemaster provided Adam and Mindy with a sheet listing all of the Pokémon with pictures. That's how Adam knows what Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander look like (and that they have no swords), and that's how he knows that Pikachu is cute. Kevin is using Mindy's while she's absent.
TRANSCRIPT Kevin: What is it? sfx: PIKA PIKA! (Pikachu chirps.) GM: A Pikachu. Ash: A Pikachu? Ash: Hm... Oh, wow! It's so cute! Can I hug it? Prof. Oak (GM): You can.

Is that some sort of a- oh, the strobe light again. sfx: ...CHUUUUU! (Pikachu releases the Thunder Shock.) GM: Pikachu electrocutes you. Take 1d6 non-lethal. Prof. Oak (GM): Shocking, isn't it? sfx: BZZZT! Ash: Hi-laaaaar-ious.
