2nd treasure [voice]

[For about a minute, the air is filled with the cries and noises of a small army of Pokémon. Singing birds, chittering rodents, with laughter and crashes mixed in every so often- uh, that sounded like Ember. Oh dear.]

...How do you know you're training too many of these things?

[His fault for catching every single Normal-type in his path, really.]

[captainash]

Are you sure? I have no choice when I leave town to train them, but I wouldn't want to stick them in there for nothing either.

[ex_cashcow493]

Would you rather continue to strain in dividing your time up or would you give them equal parts of your attention?

[captainash]

...I don't think it'd be possible to split my time fairly in the first place. Princess would take it upon herself to thin out the herd in a very permanent manner.

voice;

[heartdive]

There's a simple answer for that.

voice;

[captainash]

Is there, now? And what would it be?

voice;

[heartdive]

Don't have anything breakable near by.

voice;

[captainash]

...Heh. Easier said than done, between the windows and my bones.

[ex_cashcow493]

Ah, you have one of those types with you?

[ With that she gives a light laugh. ] Better cull that behavior early on while you can.

[captainash]

I'll try, but that won't be easy. She's already a headstrong little thing, even if she's the weakest member of the team.

voice;

[heartdive]

Your bones?

voice;

[captainash]

Ever had a Houndour slam into your shin at full speed? Those heads of theirs are really hard; if this keeps going I'll break an ankle someday.

[ex_cashcow493]

The weakest in strength, I presume? It would not take her long at all to change that status. [ Cracking a smile at that. ] I suspect you will have more trouble than you originally thought in that case. Willpower is not an easy thing to overcome.

[captainash]

The weakest in levels, which I suspect means much the same. But with the way she demands training time, she'll be at the top of the list before the rest of them know it. Would that be willpower, or stubbornness?

video;

[ex_cashcow493]

One must have an incredible will to surpass levels that quickly. That is what I believe to be the truth, at least.

video;

[captainash]

An incredible will and a taste for ladybugs, I'd say. She won't leave any alone, even if we're almost done for the day.

voice;

[heartdive]

Uh... No?

How does that happen anyway?

voice;

[captainash]

Dark Hound is good at running, but not so very good at stopping just yet. Especially on wooden or tiled floors.

voice;

[heartdive]

How old is he?

voice;

[captainash]

I got him almost two weeks ago. He can't be much older than that.

voice;

[heartdive]

So he's still kinda young. He could grow out of it.

voice;

[captainash]

Hopefully, or else I'll need crutches before the month is over.

[ex_cashcow493]

It always struck me as odd how vibrant their personalities can be. Almost as though they were on the same emotional capacity as a human, perhaps even further.

Although I wonder how she will act when winter comes upon this land.

[captainash]

They do seem more human-like in spirit than the horses we used to have. I thought it might be because they're small enough to spend more time with us, but considering the size of some I've seen on the network... I'm guessing the bugs don't like to show themselves when it's cold?

video;

[ex_cashcow493]

That is right. Although I suspect there are parts of this realm that may be warm when others are cold.

Horses though? Do you ride horseback?

video;

[captainash]

There would have to be, if that world is anything like mine.

Ah, yes. Not seriously or professionally, but our home had horses when I was younger. Are there any horses here?
