[Look at that beautiful sunset. The orange sun hunkering down on the horizon, its reflection glittering on the surface of the salty sea, the sound of Wingulls flying overheard in search of dinner. There's nothing Lance has missed more about being back on Earth than this, other than his mom, of course.]

Hey guys?

[But watch as he ruins it by pulling the gear away from the gorgeous sight and pointing the camera to a round hump in the water closer to shore. It's a fine hump. A very fine purple hump with blowhole up top where, as if on cue, water sprays out and the hump rolls over to reveal the face of a whale that looks all too pleased with itself.]

So I ran into this Pokemon just now and it's okay and all... I mean, the 'gear says it's a Wailmer, but something's wrong with it. It doesn't look like the one in the picture. Is something wrong with it? Is it sick? Do Pokemon get sick? Do we have to vaccinate our Pokemon like we have to do dogs? Because man, I am not ready for some vet bills, let me tell you.

[He probably could just poke his head out of the house and yell across the beach, but hey. This is less shout-y.]

I think it's like Blue.

A "shiny"? But see if you can get Armin to confirm it. I don't think it's sick, though.

[Less shout-y and less fun. Come on, Shiro.]

Blue's a shiny? Why didn't you tell me that?

[His biggest fan is an awesome rare variant! And that day, Lance's ego grew three times for no good reason.]

And yeah, he just did. He seems really excited about it for some reason, though.

[Lance you know he's the fun police.]

I forget? A lot of times? I don't see many other Gallade, honestly.

[When you don't have any around to remind you, it's easy to forget not all the Gallades in the world are blue.]

Armin loves Wailmer. And Wailords. They're his specialty, aside from water pokemon in general.

[And also boring. Very very boring.]

Now that you mention it, I don't think I've seen another one either.

[In his defense, Lance hasn't really explored the rest of the world aside from a few other towns on his way to meet up with Hunk, so any chances of running into Gallades are far and few and non-existent.]

Oh, cool. I'll ask him for training tips then. Wish I knew someone who knew some training tips for Miltanks, but I guess we can't have it all.

I've seen their other version. But not them.

[The ones with the dresses. He wonders a little why Blue didn't end up that way. But his pokemon might get offended over that kind of question, unfortunately.]

You could just ask the 'gear network. Someone's bound to know something.

[Who knows? If you make his hero the messenger of that question, Blue might not get offended.]

And make it seem like I can't control my Pokemon? Hard pass.

[But Lance... you can't control Kaltenecker. That's the whole problem!]

Lance, there's nothing wrong with asking for help. People here do it all the time.

[Plus, yeah, you can't handle that cow.]
