Tenth Transmutation | [video/action for Shark House] These are not the Rockets you're looking for...
[When Al flips the feed on, he looks rather perturbed. He opens and closes his mouth several times, trying to find a way to start this whole thing a few times before silent ly shaking his head and turning the Gear around.]
[On the lawn of a certain rowdy house in Goldenrod sands a lone Golurk of unusual coloring. It is waiting patiently, and from behind the screen Al gives a signal. For a moment, everything is still...and then something starts rumbling. The Golurk shakes as if something is rattling around inside until--]
[Lifdoff.]
[The camera tracks it's slow progression up and over the house, rising like some ridiculous mecha out of an 80's anime, before Al whips the Gear back around to his incredibly distressed face.]
Why can it learn Fly?!
[It's been two weeks and he is still not over this.]

[That was honestly a pretty impressive display!! Not only is it a Pokemon Jade hasn't seen before, but--]
Oh my god--it's a robot! It's a robot with rocket boosters! It's a Pokerocketrobomon! So coooool!
[video]
Ah, yeah, I guess? It's just...he's Ghost and Ground type, being able to learn Fly of all things makes no sense at all!
...unless I'm missing something? [You seem vaguely knowledgeable on this stuff, please fill him in.]
Re: [video]
She's got that look.
He just asked a space nerd that dabbles in nuclear physics about rocket science .
She's so excited!!!]
Of course it's not weird, it's rocket propulsion! When a great force pushes an object at a rate more powerful than gravity, it will fly! According to Newton and Galileo, the concept of inertia is one of the key basis of rocket science and flight itself--that is to say, an object that is in motion will stay in motion. What your Pokemon seems to be doing is having a reaction similar to crafts used in space travel or jet planes: its fuel creates a reaction and pushes it off the ground, the necessary opposite reaction is its flight!
It does not matter if it's a "ground type" if it's got the right amount of force to push it!

[Okay, he probably should have expected that.]
Ah...no, I know how rockets work, I just don't understand why Buddy would have them.
[video]
[He knows about rockets but not robots? What is this??]
[video]
[Look, the kid is from 1920, give him a break!]
[video]
I have not seen this Pokemon yet, what is its name and typing?
[video]
Oh, he's a Golurk, and they're Ghost and Ground type.
[video]
Jade wants one.]
--Oh shoot, sorry, I was all up and talking about robots and rockets and didn't introduce myself. I'm new here, so I am pretty sure introducing myself first is still important. Hi! I'm Jade!
[video]
[He laughs and shakes his head.] Oh, it's no problem! I'm Alphonse; it's nice to meet you, Jade!
[video]
[Gosh, that's an interesting name.]
Allllllphoooooonse.
[Jade has actually never heard this name before.]
...Can I call you Al? [That is not a Disney reference, she swears (but wait would Alphonse even know what that means).]
