10th treasure [video]

[captainash]

I need to know where I can get my Glameow declawed.

[No greetings, no smiles today. Just an angry-looking Ash, an angry-looking Glameow tied up and gagged with spider silk, and the wailing of a few Pokémon somewhere beyond the camera's view.]

Don't get started on how barbaric a practice it is or how she'll be unable to use some of her attacks. The rest of my team need their eyes more than she needs any of that.

[The cat hisses angrily at that, though it comes out a bit muffled, but Ash doesn't bother looking at her before he turns the Gear off.]

I know I am. Well, and I'm used to dangerous animals, I suppose.

I wish I had something more helpful to say!

[captainash]

Even the sleep suggestion is helpful, really. At this point, I'm going to try everything I can.

[timelymaid]

Then I'm happy I helped at least a little! I'll try to see if any of the locals have ideas, too.

[captainash]

Hopefully they do. I mean, she can't possibly be the first overly aggressive Glameow, right?

video;

[timelymaid]

I would honestly be shocked if that were the case...I mean, I assume there have been overly aggressive pokemon in nearly every species.

video;

[captainash]

Overly aggressive Magikarps. Overly aggressive Caterpies. ...Yeah, I can see it.

video;

[timelymaid]

You never know!

video;

[captainash]

True. All those overly aggressive Gyarados have to come from somewhere, right? And those... overly aggressive Butterfrees, too.

video;

[timelymaid]

...Admittedly I haven't met the latter. Yet!

video;

[captainash]

Me neither. Even the Bug-type Gym was somehow free of their presence.

video;

[timelymaid]

Which bug-type gym, though? Perhaps the one in the other region has the terrifying butterfrees!

video;

[captainash]

If there are others. For all we know the rest of the world doesn't care about Bug-types.

video;

[timelymaid]

Oh, well, I know there are least two! And given the Johto and Kanto gyms...it seems like there might be a bug type gym in every region?

video;

[captainash]

Maybe it's because they're so common. They'd want people to know how to deal with them on the road.

video;

[timelymaid]

Ah, that's a good point! Although I do wish they gave new arrivals some more training on the ways of this world.

video;

[captainash]

People have been showing up in New bark town for a while now, right? You'd think they'd know we're not as prepared for a journey as they are.

video;

[timelymaid]

You'd think, but...I suppose they just don't care, in that case.

video;

[captainash]

..."Mom" cares, for about ten minutes. But after that we're completely on our own.

video;

[timelymaid]

Yes, I...checked back with her, once. She seemed confused.

video;

[captainash]

Confused about who you were, or confused about you contacting her?

[Because that second option would be very sad.]

video;

[timelymaid]

The first. She seemed confused about it, and eventually just told me to keep continuing on my journey.

video;

[captainash]

...I can think of a few reasons why that could be, and none of them are pleasant.

video;

[timelymaid]

...What reasons are those?

video;

[captainash]

A naturally bad memory for faces, senility, brainwashing, seeing so many 'children' go through her home that she can't even keep track of them anymore...

video;

[timelymaid]

You're right, none of those is really pleasant!

Brainwashing seems the most likely, though.
