captainash | 1st treasure [voice/action for route 29]

So, can anyone tell me how I ended up with a fire-breathing hellhound? Not that I don't like it, but I was wondering why that one out of all those strange animals out there.

[The voice sounds more casually curious than surprised or alarmed or confused, which is exactly how he likes it. He keeps going, ignoring the puppy's whines for the moment.]

Is it a random decision? Did that woman look at me and tell the professor 'Oh, that man looks like a dog lover'? Or did that lab just happen to have a few extra puppies around when I arrived?

[The whines grow louder as he speaks. In fact, by the end of his sentence they are replaced by a bark, followed by the sound of paws running through tall grass.]

...Well, I can already tell I'll be in good paws until I reach the next town, at least. No... purple rat shall ever manage to harm me.

[That one certainly won't, because people hanging around the eastern end of route 29 might have the chance to witness said rat getting caught in a Pokéball. His first capture, he's so proud. They might also get sniffed by an eager puppy, but it probably doesn't bite. Otherwise, the middle-aged man reading the handbook beneath a tree would probably put a stop to it.]

They can also bite, from what I hear over there. And I assume that list of types is not just for show.

[He's starting to wonder if he should be wary of electric cats jumping out of the bushes or something. And wow, that one is bigger indeed.]

...Not bad. The horns are a nice touch. When should mine look like that?

Nope, it isn't. It's more than just dogs and cats and stuff. I've seen pokémon made of rock, ones that look like sort of like people, and even plants.

[This place is so much fun. Cerberus just snorts at his silly trainer.]

I remember he was level 24 when he evolved, you can look at gear check it!.

All that? I guess no one can say this world lacks variety.

[Even if it apparently lacks giant robots. :(]

Level 24, uh. This one was almost at level 6 when I checked earlier; looks like we're not there yet. Is that info somewhere in the handbook?

[Well there is a ghost robot pokemon thing around at least c:]

He gets stronger the more he fights. So if he fights a lot he'll be level 24 in no time.

[And once he learns about it he will want it so much.]

With the local wildlife, I foresee lots of fighting in our future. Guess he'll get those horns before I know it.

It's more that just wild pokémon, some of the people from here, will just look at you and challenge you to pokémon battles.

[Golden rule avoid eye contact unless you want a fight.]

They challenge us? Now that sounds fun. They don't aim to kill, I hope.

No it isn't like that. It's sort of like a wresting match or a karate match.

[With superpower and pets.]

Only thing that happens is that a pokémon gets knocked out, like what happens when you fight the wild ones.

With low stakes like that, I can see with this sport is so popular. I'll probably try my hand at it sooner or later.

If you get lots of cool pokemon, I'll battle you one day Mister!

Only if I get lots of cool ones? I'll have to get started quickly, then. Any recommendations?

Yeah! [Then again he thinks all pokémon at cool.]

I'm not sure, the pidgeys are a good place to start. They get really really big later and sometimes people sell pokémon eggs you get to see which one's you might like.

...Oh yeah I'm suppose to be getting eggs too. [Worst breeder ever.]

Pidgeys and eggs. I'll keep an eye for those, thanks. You have a lot of birds, then?

[Since he's supposed to get eggs and all.]

Not all of them are birds, I have a lot of flying types.

I almost forgot all pokémon come form eggs, so you don't just get flying ones.

...All of them.

[Finally, the calm and collected image starts cracking.]

All of them! Isn't it great. [It might be a safe bet to say he's a little egg crazy.]

The dog can have eggs.

[His old house had horses, he knows that's not how it works.]

Your dog can have eggs with more than just dogs too.

...And here I was, starting to accept that this was happening.

[Now this can't possibly be real.]

I can show you some picture of pokémon eggs, misters.

[He is a breeder after all.]

Oh, why not, at this point.

[If he's hallucinating, egg pictures shouldn't make it worse.]

Alright! This is a picture of Cerberus and Cipher's eggs.

[Laying by a completely different dog pokemon, is a small nest of really large eggs.]

[...They do make it worse.]

And I can expect to get those from my Houndour at some point?

Well you need another pokémon to do that, a mommy and daddy. You can't watch them when they try to make eggs.

Who would want to watch?

[He's not sure he wants to hear the answer to that.]
