35 [Video]

[mischiefbreeder]

So it's that time of the month already, huh? Man, how time flies by. Seems like it was just a couple months ago we had new people showin' up, and now it's happening again! [A bit of crude humor on his part, as anyone who's been in Luceti for any decent length of time knows how often the New Feather cycles are.]

Aaaaanyway, I've got a bit of an announcement to make. [The feed shows a shot of him scratching his cheek as he ponders this announcement he's about to give.]

As I'm sure most of you remember, Hiccup went home some time ago, and he left behind a Pokémon I'd given him. [He shifts the camera to get a shot of Kyle, the three foot tall Fraxure.] I've been watchin' her for a while, but I'm thinkin' it's about time she found a new home--and a new trainer.

So! That's where you all come in! I'm lookin' for someone who'd seriously consider wantin' to be a Pokémon Trainer and be willing to keep raisin' ol' Kyle here. Any potential applicants'll be interviewed and schooled on what it takes, but only one'll get picked in the end! So who's it gonna be? One of you? Only one way to find out, right?

[The feed doesn't end there, though. The normal person would elect to set up a filter of some sort for this next part.

...Gold is not a normal person. Or maybe he's trying to draw attention to this part that should be a private thing. Who knows?]

Hey Crys, I believe I asked you a question some time ago. I'm still waitin' for you to give me a real answer there! So what's it gonna be?

[Crys was going to offer to help with the interviews for the possible trainers, since it could help to have a second opinion.

Until he said that. Her anger burns with the fury of ten thousand suns, and it takes all her restraint to not kick a wall, or better yet, him. Her Pokemon haven't seen her this angry in a long, long time. She knows he did that on purpose, and he's going to pay for that one. Crys gives herself a few minutes to calm down so she doesn't kick down a door, wall, or person.

She's still pissed, though, when she replies.] You did that on purpose.

[mischiefbreeder]

[You'll help anyway, Crys.]

Maybe. But you never did answer me back then. Unless you expect me to just take your hypothetical answer, that is.

[kickingcatcher]

[Maybe she won't now!] You left before I could even say anything!

[moehealer]

That's a good idea, Gold! [The bit about having people interviewed and such. It's a pretty good way to go...]

Um... If you need any help with it, just let me know, okay? [Because she wants to make sure Fraxure is going to go to a good trainer too okok]

[mischiefbreeder]

Oh, I've already got plans for you, don't worry!

[moehealer]

[somehow she's not surprised...]

Oh, really? What did you have in mind?

[Filtered]

[generalflirt]

[You know... he's not really sure if she's cut out for it or even would really want it, but it comes to mind when he thinks about who he might like to compete against for the future. It might be selfish and he's not sure she would appreciate the vouch for (hence the filter), but]

Hey, Gold. She's probably not going to come in for the interview, but do you think you could surprise interview someone extra, for me?

[Filtered]

[mischiefbreeder]

[Normally he wouldn't even want to consider someone who wouldn't come forth on their own, but... he'll try and hear Masaomi out, at least.]

Who'd you have in mind?

[Filtered]

[generalflirt]

Raven-san, that girl at the smithy that Kyle went to in the first place. [He's following the same principle he used to swear in Ikki (which was probably an overstep on his part back then but it worked out so he's counting it as a win)] Not that you have ti pick her, but I'd consider it a favor for you to have a chat with her.

[Written]

[skysung]

Is that a dragon of some sort? Why does she need a trainer?

[Someone had better explain Pokemon to the baby dragon properly before she gets all affronted over how dragons are not trained and captive beasts.]

[Voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

[Don't mind Gold as he switches his journal over to voice. He doesn't have the time to bother with writing.]

She needs a partner to raise her well so she can be strong, of course!

[Written]

[skysung]

[She'll keep writing because all he'd hear if she switched too... would be chirps and whistles and possibly hisses, clicks, or snorts.]

Is strength her goal, or yours?

[voice]

[pendantry]

You're...giving her away?

[Raven isn't sure whether to sound bothered or...well, hopeful.]

[voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

Well, I can't keep her forever. Like I told you, she needs a proper trainer.

[Gold thinks back to his conversation with Masaomi just a short while ago...]

...Why, you interested?

[voice]

[pendantry]

[Not the question she expected.]

Ah- what?

[But maybe the one she wanted.]

[systemshock]

... are you sure that's a Pokemon?

[Because that sure as heck isn't one he's seen before.]

[mischiefbreeder]

It's one of the foreign ones. They found it in this "Unova" place, it's supposed to be way far away from Johto.

[It sure as heck ain't one Gold's seen before he came here either.]

[systemshock]

[HE RECOGNIZES JOHTO.]

Unova? Where is that?

[cilantro]

Hm...it's always a bittersweet taste when Pokemon are separated from their trainers, but at least circumstances like these can be gradually changed to a more pleasant one with the right ingredients and when partnered with an equally fitting trainer... [Cilan who even asked for your girly prose input--]

Nonetheless, other than wishing you good luck of course, is there anything we can do to help you with this task? [We're not a Dragon Master or even one in training like how our traveling companion Iris was, but...] As a Pokemon Connoisseur, one of my tasks was to advise and judge the tastes of a Pokemon's compatibility when partnered with prospective trainers, and how well their personalities mix with one another in order to create the most harmonious marriage~! [Cilan...] So, I'd be happy to assist you with this in any way I can, if you'd like us to!

[Also, he's from Unova, so he can try to offer what knowledge he is aware of regarding Fraxure if there's anything you'd like to inform any prospective trainers about.]

[mischiefbreeder]

Well... I might have a task your specific abilities can handle!

[cilantro]

Really? [Great! He's an A-class, so he can totally handle any task!] What would you like for us to do, Gold?

[risingwinds]

Hmm. Well, I dunno if I'm qualified or not, I wouldn't mind giving it a shot!

[What he does know about Pokémon has always intrigued him, at any rate. Then again...]

'Course, I get the feeling it's gonna be a tough process. I mean, you've gotta make sure she's happy with whoever she ends up with, and I dunno how picky she is.

[mischiefbreeder]

Don't you worry, we're gonna be puttin' everyone through boot camp, so we'll know who's cut out for the job and who just isn't suited for by the end!

[heartofthematter]

[Gold and Crystal are going out on a date?





Finally. He's very happy for his seniors.]

That sounds fun~. I wouldn't mind helping either if I can. Oh, and congratulations!

[mischiefbreeder]

[So when's your turn, Diamond?]

Hmm... Well, I'm sure I can definitely find somethin' for you to do!
