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.

...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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

Ha.

And set me on fire, probably.

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

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

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

Hnn...

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

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

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

Now I don't have him anymore.

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

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. ]

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

Nno. That Torkoal was a lot better behaved.

[ And was named after a brand of cigarettes. ]

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

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

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

You know what they say about life.

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

I feel like a turtle would understand better than most. It gets flipped on its back, that's the end of the world right there.

...You know, I get the feeling the local turtles could just propel themselves back up with water or fire if they needed to.
