Feather 18 [Video]

[ Greetings, Route! Today Joshua is broadcasting from a seat in the Viridian City Pokemon Center, as an Absol nurses a good deal of singed fur on the bench next to him. That Jolteon was a nasty final surprise okay. ]

Are all of the challenge teams actually well-rounded, or did Blue just want to be some special exception? I do suppose the joke may be on me for expecting the Earth Badge to be something like ground type.

[ excuse me did you just call his bff pokemon a "fluffy cutie" ]

... I think one's for you.

[ He points the gear at Absol, who lifts his head to stare at it for a few seconds, then focuses on Joshua behind it with a look of "why are you bothering me with that thing again". ]

[Yes, yes she did.

And aaah, Perona's so in love with the beautiful pokemon she sees up close now, eyes twinkling with adoration. It's so pretty! And those red eyes, those claws, that malevolent scythe~! It's wondrous! ♥ She simply has to get her hands on such a wickedly gorgeous looking creature!]

Oh, look at you! Such a lovely thing...but your glossy fur was singed so... I hope your careless trainer is taking care enough to make sure you'll look your best again! If anyone allows a cute, fluffy, and beautiful animal to suffer, then I won't forgive them!

In that case-- [ Joshua turns the camera back to himself. ] --I should introduce you to the Viridian City gym leader. His name is Blue, and he's the one who singed all that fur in the first place.

Viridian City? [She doesn't remember that city on her map...must be in that other region - camp toe or something like that.] Blue, was it? Mmh, simple enough to remember... And you said he was one of those gym leaders? If that's how this world's authoritative people treat the cute animals of this planet, than they're no better than the monsters they battle. Worse, even! At least these ones are cute.

...You're that one's trainer, are you? Make sure it recovers completely. Don't battle it before then.

Yes, yes. Beyond the gym leaders, I don't think anything in this area is going to give me any trouble anyway. I have faith in its strength.

Good. [If there's one thing Perona won't tolerate, it's a cute and beautiful animal that she likes being hurt or abused by someone (it's totally fine if it's her).]

...What exactly is it? A-And where did you happen to come upon it? I want one for myself.

[ ... Sorry Perona, you're going to get a giggle. ]

It's an Absol. And I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this one was right there waiting for me when I first arrived here. I don't think I've seen one in the wild yet.

[Ugh, of course. Of course she wouldn't get a simple answer - Perona's luck has just been plain rotten lately. With a frown, and a heavy sigh, she mutters under her breath--]

How frustrating... Peh, I'll have to look for one myself then, like everything else that I like and want. You said it was called Ab...soul? [Does it steal souls? *A* Is that why is has a sickle on its head?? Oh, how wonderful. ♥]

Absol. [ Stealing souls is a different Pokemon, Perona. ] I'd offer to sell you one of its children, but it doesn't seem to be overly fond of any of the other Pokemon on my team.

Eh, no, I don't think I'd be able to afford it. And I really don't want another egg to sit and wait until I can hatch it... It's frustrating enough having to wait for the past one I had to hatch, and the one now, but I'll remember the offer, if it's still open...and if you can find anyone compatible for that lovely animal.

[She'd really prefer a purebreed, but whatever. Different parents meant a better chance of getting a really useful move, right? Thank goodness for that magazine she picked up in town, it had some brief but interesting things about breeding in it.]

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, an egg would probably hatch before you managed to come across one in the wild. Patience is a virtue, and all of that.
