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.

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.

[ video ]

[imthe_shit]

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.

[ video ]

[captainash]

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

[ video ]

[imthe_shit]

... You're probably right about that...

Hn, maybe they don't know hardship then.

[ video ]

[captainash]

They do know the feeling of being hunted by weirdos with plastic balls, though.
