Isn't it a little weird? All these animals just come from eggs?

[The irony of asking Krieg this question is temporarily lost on him.]

[Blue squeaks imperiously, and makes an attempt to climb up onto his trainer's head. He'll be big and strong someday, Krieg!! ... He won't, but that's beside the point.]

Yeah. We're just here until we can beat Whitney. You?

[fuelthefire]

Dunno. Where else would they come from?

[Now that Shiro's brought it up, he does have a very vague notion that he's right and that it is pretty weird that all these animals come from eggs. He's no expert on how living beings - human, pokemon, or other - come into the world. There's a vague impression of ladies gradually becoming very fat in preparation of having a baby, but he shies away from that entire train of thought before he can get too far along; there are dangerous memories down that path, and he wants nothing to do with them.]

Same! Gotta beat the boss and get the badge!

[The Gym Challenge is a much better topic than babies and where they come from anyway!]

[shiro2hero]

I... regular animal places?

[Then again, maybe they're all aliens here. And maybe aliens work entirely differently than they do on Earth. So... what does he know, really.]

Good luck, man. I hear she cries, though. So brace yourself.

[fuelthefire]

What's a regular animal place?

[He's not being an ass. It's a genuine question. He doesn't know how regular animals work any more than he knows how the Pokemon do.]

Pfff! She can cry all she wants, it's not gonna fix the burn!

[Thanks for the warning, Shiro, but he's not scared of crying ladies.]

[shiro2hero]

... you know, I don't know.

[He does know. But this isn't really a conversation he's comfortable having with anyone. Ever. He doesn't want to give The Talk to someone.]

[Fortunately, Krieg jumps onto the subject of the gym, so all is well.]

She uses Normal types. So... whatever you have that works against those, go for it.

[fuelthefire]

[If Shiro ever tried to give The Talk to Krieg, Krieg...would laugh. A lot. He might never stop. So this is probably a good thing for everyone involved. Everyone involved being Shiro and Krieg.]

The Murder Chicken punches hard! He'll curbstomp them before the deep fry!

[Fire/Fighting types are the best 8)]

[shiro2hero]

[Yeah, no. It's not going to happen. He'd volunteer one of his teammates to do it, except they're not here. Whoops.]

Hah! I guess you'll be all right then, man.

[He's grinning though. It's nice to talk to Krieg like this.]
