39th treasure [audio]

Everyone, my team has a question and demands an answer. Think about it carefully.

[The team in question can be heard, yipping and meowing and squawking animatedly. But that all stops the moment Ash takes a deep breath and speaks again.]

...Which are better: dogs, cats, or birds?

Believe me, these claws are nothing compared to what I'm used to.

Oh, is that the way to build up an immunity to cat claws? Getting scratched by worse critters too often?

If cats were the size of houses here, I'd feel right at home. It's not an immunity as much as a built up tolerance to that kind of pain.

...Considering that cats the size of houses are not so unlikely around here, you may still get some use out of that tolerance.

I doubt there's something the size of a Behemoth here.

Are those Behemoths of yours bigger than fifteen metres long? Because those Wailords are huge.

No, but there are things that would make a Wailord look tiny in comparison.

...I'm trying to imagine how much cat food would be needed to feed a creature so big. The thought makes my wallet weep.

It'll literally eat anything and anyone. Even its own kind if it has to. I'd worry more about keeping out of its jaws.

That sounds terrifyingly like a Snorlax or a Gulpin, except on a much larger scale. They're not commonplace, are they?

Depends on the area. They can be as common as cats and dogs.

...That cannot possibly be good for the local tourism industry.

That's why there's hunters and mercenaries, and guard in the cities. They have things under control. I kill whatever I run across.

A gesture that's most appreciated, I'm sure. Can anything be done with their skins or bones? It sounds like their meat could feed a lot of people easily.

Yes. Behemoth meats pretty good, especially when grilled.

The risk of a painful death versus the potential for many tasty dinners. Not exactly what I'd call fair, but still better than nothing.

It's better than letting them either kill everyone, or let all of that meat go to waste once they've been taken down.

No wasting food or human lives; how practical. It's a shame some people wouldn't bother at all, really.

It's... I don't know how they do it here, but I don't trust the meat products they sell in this world.

...I've probably eaten worse while deployed, but I admit that I'd like to know if it's artificial, or if they're hiding regular animals somewhere, or even if they're eating Pokémon and pretending that's not happening. Just to be certain, you know?

I don't want to risk eating something with the intelligence of a human being.

Considering how people treat even wild Pokémon, I'm... mostly sure that's not happening. ...Then again, Farfetch'ds do have a reputation...

[Ash's own Farfetch'd squawks angrily at that.]

I think I'll stick to being vegetarian while I'm here. It's worked fine so far. My sister agrees with me on that.

[Poor birdie.]

Just make sure your vegetables weren't once Grass-types.

[A beat.]

...I'm very sorry I brought up that thought. I'll never do so again.

I don't go to places or buy things unless I know no Pokémon were killed to make it. Might seem crazy, but that's just how I am.
