[Jack's lounging...well, it's nowhere familiar, actually. He still hasn't made it back to Blackthorn yet, and what can be seen of the background almost looks like...a cheap apartment. Because it is. Because Jack is still slumming it.]

So...where do I get designer Pokemon fashion? Are there boutiques? Do I gotta have it specially made? Is it a catalogue thing? Help me out here. 'Cause Miss Taylor Swift needs her wardrobe, and I'm not dressing her in the cheap shit from the department store or whatever. She's too good for that sweat shop, mass market crap.

And on an entirely different note...

Are there any other grown ups around Ecruteak? Actual grown ups, not twenty year olds. I could use a couple of drinks with somebody who's got an entirely developed brain is what I'm getting at.

I got a bear you can wrestle!

[Boone just stares blankly at the pokemon presented to him, lips pressed into a thin line. That sure is... something.]

That's, uh... she's... beautiful?

[He didn't mean to actually voice that question mark at the end there, but oh well.]

You dress her up every day? Does she enjoy it or something?

[thedifferencebetween]

Uh yeah she's beautiful! She's the most beautiful Pokemon in the world, look at her!

Of course I do, she can't dress herself. I mean it'd be awesome if she could, but she don't got thumbs. She loves her clothes!

[thumbsdown]

Well, if she likes it...

[He shrugs. Not for him to decide what someone else does with their pokemon anyway, right?]

You dress up your other pokemon? Or just her?

[thedifferencebetween]

Don't make it sound like this is my choice, she's the one who loves her clothes.

My others don't.

...well, one of the Handsome Cats likes to wear hats. I dunno where he gets'em, I don't buy'em for him.

[thumbsdown]

The Handsome Cats?

[Sounds like a performance at the Tops.]

Well, not really sure what a Skorupi would wear. And he's the only one who walks beside me when I'm wandering. Not much point in dressing up a pokemon that's just gonna be in a ball, right?

[thedifferencebetween]

I got a bunch of Meowth. I can't keep their damned names straight.

My point's that it's up to the Pokemon. Why would a Skorupi wanna wear clothes? My Skorupi mostly wanted to stab things with its tail and play in garbage.

[thumbsdown]

Might depend on the Skorupi. Pointy would probably wear clothes and be happy in them. Wouldn't you?

[He looks down at his pokemon fondly for a moment, and there's a happy cry in response.]

But hey, did your Skorupi evolve yet? Was wondering how big he'd get after.

[thedifferencebetween]

Oh, yeah, Penetrator evolved a while ago.

Ha! You'll see.

[thumbsdown]

Penetrator?

[He quirks an eyebrow at the name. It's more amused than anything, though.]

So are we talking bigger than a person?

[Come on man, give him something to work with.]

[thedifferencebetween]

Yeah, that's its name.

Well now how the hell can I answer that? Persons aren't all the same size. I'm six feet, one of my girls is barely five. Plus they aren't even shaped anything like people, so that doesn't work.

Big. They get big. How much more do you need to know?

[thumbsdown]

Guess I don't need to know anything else. Just curious, that's all.

[Well, he'll just have to train Pointy up until he evolves, and then he'll see for himself.]

[thedifferencebetween]

You realize there's a device that has all this information, right? That you can access anywhere, any time?
