29th treasure [audio]

So.

[Ash stays silent for a few moments after that, almost as if that word is the only one he intended to send. That doesn't last very long.]

Am I getting my weeks wrong, or was there a rather suspicious lack of confused calls coming from New Bark Town over the last few days?

[He normally would not have registered that at all, yet this time he's been thinking about it enough to make his head pound.]

...Never mind. It's probably nothing.

Probably. I know my Ice-type spent the last week refusing to out because it was too hot, so maybe the wild ones decided to do something about it.

[ video ]

[imthe_shit]

Yeah, my Torkoal wanted to go out, too, but it was way too hot... I would have dehydrated, he probably would have caused a few forest fires.

[ video ]

[captainash]

...Can't he keep his heat inside, somehow? I mean, I only have a Houndoom so I don't have much experience with Fire-types, but Dark Hound couldn't cause a fire unless he actively tried.

[ video ]

[imthe_shit]

He can keep his fire inside. He'd just probably get too excited.

Boss is an asshole, if you haven't noticed.

[ video ]

[captainash]

Got any Water-types to keep him in check? It can work for the less vindictive ones.

[ video ]

[imthe_shit]

Nope.

I guess I could just dump a bottle of water on him, but I don't need to be scolded by the Nurse again.

[ video ]

[captainash]

...That's only if they catch you, though.

[ video ]

[imthe_shit]

True, but I'm pretty sure pouring cold water on my Fire-Type is going to send him to the Center, and that's when the talking-to will happen.

I'm a shit liar.

[ video ]

[captainash]

Maybe throwing a fistful of sand at him would work as well? That might upset the nurses less, too.

[ video ]

[imthe_shit]

Ha.

And set me on fire, probably.

[ video ]

[captainash]

...There must be another, less painful solution.

[ video ]

[imthe_shit]

I'll just stick him in his ball when he's being an asshole. It's worked out well so far.

[ video ]

[captainash]

Ah, pokéballs, the great equalizer. What use are claws and fire breath when you're stuck in a little plastic ball?

[ video ]

[imthe_shit]

Hnn...

I used to have one that would just come out of the ball whenever he wanted. That was annoying.

[ video ]

[captainash]

Really? How did you get him to stop doing it?

[ video ]

[imthe_shit]

I didn't. He kept doing it. And then I left.

Now I don't have him anymore.

[ video ]

[captainash]

...Oh, I'm sorry. He didn't end up with anyone you know?

[ video ]

[imthe_shit]

Nno.

The only two who did were Sunny and Marlboro, my Togekiss and my Torkoal. They're with good friends of mine.

[ That's right, Snake had A DIFFERENT TORKOAL BEFORE. ]

[ video ]

[captainash]

That's good to hear, especially if you can still contact. ...Did the other Torkoal also eat cigarettes like this one?

[ video ]

[imthe_shit]

Nno. That Torkoal was a lot better behaved.

[ And was named after a brand of cigarettes. ]

[ video ]

[captainash]

Figures. At least you didn't have to go through this twice.

[ video ]

[imthe_shit]

If my first Torkoal had been like this, I would have put my second one in a storage box immediately.

[ video ]

[captainash]

Really, now, that would have been unfair. ...A smart idea, but still unfair.

[ video ]

[imthe_shit]

You know what they say about life.

[ video ]

[captainash]

Yeah, but I'm not sure a turtle would understand that.
