[Gaige has, for the past week or so, been setting out on a trip to the Ruins of Alph without much in the way of broadcasting, but certain circumstances had brought her to needing the advice of the people, and so a video transmission pops up on the network.]

OKAY, hi - hi guys, it's me, your gal Gaige, etcetera, etcetera-

[She rushes through her usual routine to a shaky camera, and a loud crying in the background.]

So, you know those new Pokemon that started showing up? The ones terrified of, like, everything...? Turns out loud noises and explosions and basically EVERYTHING that makes me me comes under that.

[The camera shifts slightly as she tries to balance her 'Gear and something blue, amphibious, and crying in her arm. From what can be seen from Gaige's face, she looks tired, and trying really hard not to panic.]

It's been...uh, I don't even know - it feels like hours since he started crying? I can't get him to stop. [A weighted exhale, and the sobbing newt in her arms just accentuates her point.] I really want him to stop. I just, you know, babies aren't really my ball park? Kind of never really planned this kind of thing. I only ever anticipated robot children! I'm way too young to be a mother!

[Her voice raises in distress, which only makes the baby more upset. It's a vicious cycle.]

Look, some of you guys have got to have experience with this kind of thing, right? You gotta help me out here.

Put it in a box and tell it you won't let it out until it shuts up.

[Father of the year right here.

The massive skuntank that was napping behind him lifts her head in a panic when she hears her trainer say something so horrible, jumps onto her haunches and starts waving her arms wildly as she shakes her head. NO. Absolutely DO NOT do that!!

Dandy doesn't seem to notice.]

[Said skuntank seems relieved when it looks like Dandy's talking to someone with reason, but it doesn't stop her trainer from pushing his amazing parenting strategies.]

I mean, if you abandon the box, I guess? It's fine, kids are crazy about boxes anyway.

Look.

[He turns the feed towards another corner of the room where his deino currently resides. She's standing on top of what was probably once a box, cardboard dangling from her jaws.

Dandy quickly turns the feed back onto himself when he realizes he's losing his own point.]


I guess...it doesn't really work when they can just bust outta the damn thing... But, it lets 'em know you mean business.

Nope, can't stand 'em.

[Which is why bad and naughty children get put in the quiet box.]

All I'm sayin' is you can't go coddlin' it every time it busts out the waterworks. That's what teaches them crying gets 'em everything they want, and then they never stop.

People only get sad when they want something, right? It could be a thing or they just want something to change, but in the end they need to realize that's life.

If we aren't doing the box, then I say let it cry it out. Let it get used to how things are now, teach it to go with the flow~

I mean, it's not like it can keep going forever. ...Right?
