18th treasure [text]

On a scale from 1 to 10, how embarrassing would you consider being killed by a Chansey that is happily hitting thrown rocks back at you with a tree branch and has already knocked three of your Pokémon out with some skillful aiming at their faces?
This is a purely hypothetical question, by the way.

Also, for a completely unrelated query, does anyone know if the Goldenrod Granbulls take Pokémon in their team? Because I might have just found their future star batter.

I was assuming that a Chansey would be a defensive, motherly Pokémon.
The part where this one turned out to be murderously good at hitting rocks was a bit of a surprise.
And the Granbulls are a baseball team, actually.

Perhaps it is not so embarrassing then.
After all, no one can blame you for that kind of assumption about Chansey.
And I know. I was attempting to make a joke.
I forget that jokes don't carry well through text.
However I have no idea if they accept Pokemon.
If not, I wouldn't be surprised if there were at least little league teams for Pokemon.
...if not that, then perhaps someone should create one!

Seriously. Everything I've been told about their attack stats is a lie.
And I couldn't just assume that; I've seen people assume that soccer is played with rackets before. Sorry.
I could always ask the managers once we return to Goldenrod. Who would refuse such great barely tapped potential?

Well, perhaps it isn't a lie so much as a generalization.
A Pokemon can be born with such talent and tenacity that it could overcome the typically expectations of it's species to become something incredible.
Just like children prodigies, there could easily be Happiny prodigies that grow into powerful Chanseys.
I'm sure if it evolves into a Blissey, you would be even more shocked.
Ah, true enough.
You certainly could! It wouldn't hurt at least.

Well, this one sure is atypical and incredible. I'm starting to wounder if she has Compoundeyes as her ability.
Maybe I'll look for attack moves for her, instead of defensive ones.
Or, you know, for a nice long-term contract that pays well.

Atypical is a good thing.
It keeps you interested.
As for moves, perhaps it would be good to teach it a little of both?

Atypical is great! But more than a little dangerous in the middle of a safari, when you're just trying to find a few new species.
Think I could teach her to hit Geodudes instead of plain rocks?

...
Very good point.
And you probably could, sure.
Of course, you should get the consent from the Geodudes first!

I have a Graveler. I'm sure he'd be willing to participate if I asked.
As long as he's not too afraid of her to agree, at least. I wouldn't blame him if he was.

Perhaps you should seek out a Pokemon just as bull headed as she is then?
Or one meek enough to go along with it anyway.

I just tried to imagine having two Pokémon like her in my team.
I think I'll have nightmares for the rest of the year.

Hehe, sorry.
But at least you wouldn't need to have them on your team full time?
Surely that is some comfort.

I guess it kinda is. As long as they don't decide they never want to be separated again, or something like that.

Well then first you need to make sure they're not from the same egg group.
And then you need to make sure that they're personalities are so alike, they won't be attracted on first sight.

So, I need to make sure they friendzone each other?
Put like that, it almost sounds sad.

Not strictly what I meant.
Because honestly friends could be worse than lovers if we're speaking in those terms.
I know a couple of friends who are real terrors together.
They just need to be enough alike that they won't want to be inseparable, because they'll become annoyed with each others company if they see too much of one another.
At least if you really want to avoid having them both in your part all the time.
Day in and day out.

Ah, that tricky balance between friendship, mutual annoyance and attempted murder.
Think the average Pokémon pair would be obliging enough to have different political views, or something equally likely to make them want some time apart?
