[The video clicks on to show a snowy path that's actually rather picturesque. Anyone familiar with Johto would know that it's Route 43 heading towards Lake Rage. Someone's clearly taking a winter trip to the lake to get away from the city for a bit and enjoy nature and the peaceful atmosphere!

Yeah. Right.

A moment later a small Cleffa toddles into view followed by a rather irritated looking Flareon who's tail is way fluffier than normal and his ears are pressed flat to his head. The larger Pokemon darts ahead and attempts to block the Cleffa which seems to infuriate the little thing as it stops toddling and stomps it's feet. The Flareon snorts and dips it's head like it's about to gently bump the Cleffa and start to guide it back only to find itself promptly slapped by the little fairy.

Mr. Pickles jerks back blinking in surprise as he sits down rather suddenly, nose twitching as he tries to figure out what just happened.

The Cleffa turns around and notices the camera, puffing up it's cheeks then promptly starts screaming.

Turning the 'gear around, Vanitas comes into view now looking less than pleased.]

I'm pretty sure this stupid thing is broken. I'm never buying another egg from anyone.

[Is she--does she not--DOES SHE NOT GET THAT THIS STUPID CLEFFA IS A HELL SPAWN?!

Vanitas is momentarily shocked and has to kind of collect himself despite Nort's screaming but once he gets his thoughts together he grabs the 'gear and scoops up the Cleffa which, thankfully, prompts her to stop shrieking for a moment.

If only because she stands pounding on his chest and babbling up an angry storm.]

YOU THINK THIS IS MY FAULT?! THE PERSON THAT BRED HER HAS A PSYCHO CLEFABLE! I ASKED FOR A TOGEPI AND THIS IS WHAT I GOT INSTEAD!

[Hermione's ears are still ringing but she maintains her glare. At least the Cleffa seemed to be slightly happier now that she'd been picked up, and now Hermione can talk in a more normal, socially acceptable voice.]

See? She just wanted some attention, that wasn't so hard was it?

It doesn't matter that there was a bit of a mix up - you have two choices. Contact the breeder and get some advice on managing her, or request a trade for a Togepi which you should be entitled to since you requested one. Or at least the breeder should offer you a free one, if you decide to keep Cleffa.

[Which he should as long as he cares for her properly. Because Hermione is going to be keeping tabs on him JUST IN CASE.]

[Happier??? This is happier to you?? She's still acting like a little demon in Vanitas's opinion!]

She always wants attention. She was mad because you were trying to hog all the attention by lecturing me.

Like I'd take another egg from that guy! The Togepis could be just as bad!

[Please note he says nothing about giving Nort back. This is his little shithead and he's going to keep her even if it means having to deal with her tantrums.]

[Hermione all but throws up her hands.]

Perhaps this whole mess could have been avoided if you had actually picked her up at the start like I suggested.

[Hermione mutters under her breath.]

Boys, honestly...

Well since there's at least been a moderate improvement, I'll let you get back to actually attending her. But if I hear you've been shirking your responsibilities, I will report you.

She didn't want to be picked up before she wanted to kick my ass before!

[This girl. Oh he was going to punch her if he ever--]

Report me?! Report me to who!?

[In his arm Nort was starting to get mad again because OH NO. OH NO YOU WERE NOT IGNORING HER IN FAVOR OF THAT STUPID GIRL. Puffing her cheeks out, the Cleffa let out a piercing shriek that had Vanitas wincing. He started to yell at her but realized a second too late that the air around them was crackling oddly.

Nort had used Metronome which rolled her Thunder.

With a sharp crash Vanitas and the 'gear are both hit and he can he heard yelp-cursing before the 'gear goes dead with a fizzle of electricity.

Well. That sure did happen.]
