[ The tail end of a sigh can be heard as Chris enables the voice option on his PokéGear. Though it’s more of a response to the chilly weather rather than sounding tired or disappointed. Still, he has to pause as he quietly clears his throat and fights the urge to huff while he tries to warm up some at his Local Pokémon Center™. ]

Does anyone have any tips or advice for new trainers? Think my new friend and I started off on the wrong foot with a small scuffle, but I suppose it’s expected given its nature. Its name is ‘Stufful’, if that helps.

[ What a sneaky pun. ]

Anyway, I give her as much space as possible and she’s rather content on trailing behind or leading the way, but is in need of some grooming. Wondering how we both can get around this before attempting to since she’s rather finicky when it comes to touch.

Thanks in advance.

Hey there kiddos, Handsome Jack here!

[It's that time again. Jack's got his Official Announcement voice and that patent grin of his when he pops on the Network.]

So, I've been here a while now. Gotten to know a lot of people, the lay of the land, how stringent certain omnipotently enforced rules are...

And I gotta say, I know I'm not the only one around here who likes a good fight. A real one! Sometimes ya just wanna throw a bunch of punches to work off steam or whatever! Or watch some punches fly and blood get spilled! And I also know I'm not the only one who takes a real hands on approach to Pokemon training. As in actually going one on one with my Pokemon.

So what I'm thinking is we bring all this together and make it work for us. Weekends only, small cover fee, and anybody who wants a good fight can get one. Go one on one against a variety of normal and fighting types! Got a Pokemon that loves beating the shit outta ya? Bring'em down! Wanna beat the hell out of each other? I'm not gonna stop ya! Get your jollies just watching? Not a problem, you can even bet on the matches!

Where would this all happen, you ask? A basement I'd rent for the purposes.

What about rules? Well there would be some. No weapons, no Pokemon it'd be stupid unfair for a person to fight, somebody uses the safe word and the match is over. We're...we're not barbarians here!

[Jack laughs.]

And no Pokemon that aren't into it, nobody wants to see that, some dude just whaling on a Pokemon that doesn't wanna fight. That's not sports that's...probably illegal. This isn't a slaughter circle, it's like...boxing. With Pokemon. If you want.

Kids get in half price.
