[Video] [005]

[The video isn't immediately focused on Connor today, instead it's focused on a Swanna. Said Swanna is in the process of sneaking up behind Hank, wings flared, and she pecks at his ankles (earning an "ow, what the fuck!") before realising the camera is on her. Then she hides her face behind a wing, demure as anything.]

Everyone saw that, you know.

[The camera shifts closer to her, and she waddles off to hide. Almost as soon as the focus is off her? There's another swear from Hank, followed by a deep sigh.]

Well, I was hoping being seen by everyone would make her stop. She's quite shy usually. Does anyone with a Swanna have this problem? Hank doesn't like birds as it is, I don't want to have to keep her in her ball all of the time just to stop her from doing this. Bribing her with food isn't working.

And I suppose I'll ask while I'm here, does anyone have any recommendations for dark or psychic type pokemon? I have a Kadabra, a Houndoom and an Alolan Meowth. And if anyone has a Carvanha or Lileep that they wouldn't mind breeding, I'd like to know.

[Connor likes to just chase after certain pokemon to train up sometimes.]

I'd be happy to breed you a Lileep, though I only have a single egg moveset to offer. For your Dark and Psychic-types, are you looking for specific skills or secondary types?

You should get an Absol. They're really great. They're a dark type and mine's a really good fighter.

I'm afraid my Sharpedo is not available for breeding.

[She just has had A Past and with Team Rocket dragging her away from her pack, Armin doesn't want her to have to give up on any of her children.]

But Carvanha are pretty common here. If you want, I could catch one for you.

As for your Swanna - I'm not really familiar with them, so I can't say if this is ordinary behaviour for them. Does she just do it with Hank or will she attack anyone?

[Hank is getting frustrated to the point that he's starting to put his pokemon away in Pokeballs. He's not mad, he's silent mad at the moment. Which is almost worse than swearing mad.]

[He's also trying to stay within Connor's field of view.]

[Finally he says-]

I'm gonna go to the front desk and see if they have a room next door. Let me know if anyone has any ideas.

Oh! Let me look in my registry for what eggs I have right now--

[As in give her a second to click on some buttons, aaaand boop! Three Pokemon come up as attached images--Sableye, Gothita, and Pawniard.]

I have eggs for these three ready to go! Sableye is a Dark/Ghost type--a tricky combination for most people, Gothita is a Psychic type despite its appearance, and Pawniard is a Dark/Steel type--very sturdy for when you're dealing with Fairy types.

It's all up to you, of course. And I'm sorry to say I don't have any advice about your Swanna except I could ask what her problem is if you like? Got a knack for talking to Pokemon.

[She just. Says that all casually. And probably in a chirpy rapid tone, dammit Botan, do you not BREATHE?]

[ marco has a "hey it's that guy" moment when he sees hank and then hears connor's voice, talking about his swanna problems. the expression on his face is sympathetic. ]

I actually have a Lileep, although I haven't bred her before. She's back home in Sevii if you'd like to borrow her at some point...

[ jokes on marco, she's about to deposit two eggs on him from her omanyte friend. ]

As for the Swanna problem... we used to have dogs that would do things like this at home. We ignored them when they were doing it, because it was for attention. It took some trying to get it to stick, though.

[ and whapping them on the nose if you were the one getting bitten.

marco is not about to suggest that one, though. ]

I'm sorry you're having problems with her...her dad can be pretty temperamental at times, and it got more frequent after he evolved. I think that's just how many Swanna are.

[Somehow Yuuko can't help but feel partially responsible since she's the one Connor got his Swanna from in the first place.]
