3rd treasure [video]

[captainash]

[Today is an artistic day on the Pokégear, for Captain Ash's Pokémon have decided to show off their masterpiece: a pyramid, lovingly built from potions, pokéballs and other knick-knacks found in their room. It's almost completed; Bidoof, Zigzagoon and Hoothoot are adding a few bottles, given to them by Houndoom, Pidgey and Rattata. Sentret chitters from behind the Gear, Starly keeps an eye on the door, and Aipom-

Aipom brings the finishing touch: a Meowth's egg, meant for the very top of the structure. The others fall silent, move out of the way as she approaches, hold their breaths as she completes their work...

...And then the egg suddenly cracks.

The whole team freezes in its tracks, while a voice is heard from the next room over.]

Was that a crack I just heard? ...That's weird, I thought I'd left the egg next to my bag...

[The last thing the camera catches before Scarf turns it off in her panic is Bouncy's look of worry as the rest of their friends run like hell and Ash's steps come closer. Looks like someone (or multiple someones) is going to be in trouble.]

They would likely be some kind of genius Pokemon if they did, don't you think~?

[video]

[captainash]

They would be, yes. But they're merely smart and clever, and that's good enough for me.

[And it's apparently good enough for the Meowth, since she starts purring madly.]

[video]

[idlewanderlust]

Ufufu... Those are always good traits to have~ If nothing else, it certainly sounds like you have a very happy cat.

[video]

[captainash]

She's surprisingly cheerful, for a girl who nearly went tumbling down a pile of our supplies. Maybe it's a newborn thing.

[And she just goes and purrs even more loudly.]

[video]

[idlewanderlust]

Or perhaps she's enjoying all the praise you're giving her...

[video]

[captainash]

Really, now. Using the circumstances of her birth to fish for compliments?

[But he sounds more amused than anything.]

[video]

[idlewanderlust]

Well... She is a cat~ I know real ones might often seem aloof and distant, but they always seem to love attention...

[video]

[captainash]

That makes two princesses in the same team. I'm done for.

[video]

[idlewanderlust]

Oh my... Perhaps you just have a natural affinity towards them?

[video]

[captainash]

Maybe. They're the first two I've met, so for all I know I do.

[idlewanderlust]

No genuine articles yet?

[video]

[captainash]

Not one. I've had more luck with normal, everyday girls.

[video]

[idlewanderlust]

Are you certain they're all normal? I've heard some rather interesting stories from some of the girls here...

[video]

[captainash]

...What kind of stories, if I may ask?

[video]

[idlewanderlust]

Ones of politicians... Or of witches... Or even idols who live in space~!

[video]

[captainash]

...Politicians and idols who live in colonies are normal enough, but I have to admit that witches aren't something I ever expected to meet.

[video]

[idlewanderlust]

Oh my, those things are normal for you? I can't even begin to imagine any of the above...

[video]

[captainash]

Your world doesn't have space colonies, then? I hope you're not running out of room on the planet.
