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?

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.]

[HE RECOGNIZES JOHTO.]

Unova? Where is that?

Hell if I know. It's probably on the other side of the world.

So... in Asia?

[Because obviously Pokemon is in America.]

...In what-sia? [The fuck is Asia.]

Asia? The big continent next to Europe? I know it has to exist with Pokemon. I mean, Lieutenant Surge is the Lightning American!

Listen, man, I was never very good at geography.

Obviously. [...] So what type is that Pokemon?

It's obviously a dragon type. [How could you have any doubt in your mind on that?]

Hey, it's not obvious. It's not like Charizard is a dragon type. It looks more like a Dark and Flying type to me, what with the coloring and the wings on its snout.

Those are fangs, not wings. C'mon, man, how would it even fly with snout-wings?

I dunno. I haven't even figured out how a Doduo flies.

Everyone knows that, though!

Well I don't. How does it work?

It's a flying-type! That's how it flies!

[.............]

That doesn't actually explain anything!

Yes it does! It's right there!

They're Flying-Type because they can fly, they don't fly because they're Flying-Type! That's just ridiculous!

Dude, that makes no sense. There are tons of Pokémon that can use Fly even though they're not Flying-type, but no Flying-types that can't use Fly!

Charizard. First generation.

[That was stupidly easy, Gold. Fail. He found a Pokemon without even having to break into the double digits.]

...Dude, what? Charizards fly all the time. Senior Green uses his Charizard as his primary mode of flight transportation!

Well, they can now, but before... [Okay retcons are probably not something that someone from the Pokemon universe would actually get.] Nevermind. It's a dragon-type. I get it.

You talk like you actually know a thing or two about Pokémon.

Well I have filled up my PokeDex. Twice.

[And let's not even get into his card collection.]

Uh... huh. Which regions? [If Gold were an anime trainer, then he'd be very impressed.

But he's a manga trainer, and knows that's bullshit because Crys is the only person who could fill a Pokédex. It's her claim to fame.]
