19th Match // video // Goldenrod
[Today's home video features Adorababy the Sylveon and an unknown Eevee. 'Dora is sitting on his haunches, front paws and back toes all lined up in a neat little row. He looks mildly confused (but not unhappy) as the Eevee circles around him, headbutting him and rubbing against him like a fluffy kitten. This adorable video is accompanied at first only by the adoring "Veeee!"s enunciated by the worshiping Eevee, but after about twenty seconds of cuteness overload, the cameraman speaks up.]
Is anybody missing a puppycat?
[Whaddup, it's ya boi, Krieg. He sounds just as confused as 'Dora looks. The Eevee is oblivious to all of the confusion it's causing, completely and utterly absorbed as it is in its worshipful adulations.]
It followed us home from Goldenrod and won't go away.

Action
[He is still nonplussed by this whole situation, and just a little bit grumpy at the thought of adding another 'mon to his already too-big collection.]
Action
[She wonders if some of the other pokemon have ever tried that then shakes her head slightly. Looking over to the new pokemon.]
Well, we could always take it to a nearby center and ask if anyone's lost one. Just to double check.
Action
[It's worth a shot, anyway.
And, if the little guy doesn't have a home, maybe they'll be able to help him find one?]
Hey, Fairy Cat, let's go!
['Dora pricks his ears when Krieg calls him, and trots over to him with no hesitation. The little Eevee follows 'Dora like a fluffy shadow.
...So, at least this part should be fairly easy.]
Action
If it isn't a lost pokemon, what's the plan?
Action
Mngh...Maybe the nurses will know how to help it find a home.
[He just got an unexpected egg, he can't take on another baby! This is madness!]
Action
[Yeah, time to try and figure out why he's acting odd about this.]
Action
[....There you go, Maya, mystery solved. The PC really bothers him, despite Fe Fe's reassurances that it's actually very nice.]
Action
[She's somehow missed this thing that bothers him.]
Action
...If someone tried to put me in there I'd kill them.
[Is he projecting his
feardislike of confinement onto his 'mons? Probably.....Definitely.]
The Robot Arm says nobody hates it but I still do.
Action
[However she's thinking this over.]
On one hand I'd say you should trust your pokemon but on the other....
[Well things are hard to get over.]
Is there anyway to leave pokemon outside the PC? Or is that just a rule, you can only ever have six with you?
Action
...But damn it's vindicating to hear Maya say "Me, too."]
Mnnn...People with houses can let all of them run around. But if you try to take more than six with you in the balls, the extras just go to the box.
Action
Okay, well that gives us something to work with. Can you leave the pokemon at a house when you travel?
Action
[All of his monsters are shockingly well-behaved, considering who their trainer is, but he doesn't want to dump them on his friends, all of whom already have plenty of monsters of their own.]
...Maybe I could ask the Squid Girl? She has Jim Dear's house all to herself now...
Action
Asking her sounds like a good idea then.
Action
[Once he settles the problem of this little stray Eevee.
Speaking of, he glances back over his shoulder at Adorababy and Adorababy's new friend. 'Dora is walking along right behind him, and there's actually some pep in his step. It seems he's over his confusion and is warming up to the company of his new admirer. The little Eevee is walking along right beside 'Dora, trilling and chattering away, obviously in very good spirits.
It's more than enough to ping Krieg with a generous heaping of guilt. Is rehoming the little guy really the right thing to do?]
...Do you want a Puppycat?
Action
It looks like it's your pokemon they're becoming friends with.
Maybe...if they don't belong to anyone else, and we can figure out a place for your pokemon to stay that's not in the pc. You can keep this one too.
Action
Pfff! Your scared bunny is friends with the Zen Doll!
[Maya's Scorbunny also seems to be scared of Krieg, unlike this Eevee, but, details.
That aside, though, he glances back again, consideringly.]
Mmn. Maybe.
[It's not like he'd mind keeping the little guy around. He seems very sweet, and also 'Dora is really warming up to him. It's just. The PC storage.]
Action
[It's a work in progress, Scorch is.]
Just...think about. It's not like you have to make any decisions right now. And if the whole PC thing is a thing you can't do. We'll find something to work around it.
Action
[Krieg may be biased, but his statement also isn't entirely untrue. If a Pokemon exists that's less threatening than Dolly, he sure hasn't seen it.
In regard to Maya's suggestion, he responds easily enough:]
Mnng. Okay.
[He's unspeakably grateful every day for her presence, but some days he feels it even more strongly than usual - and this is one of those days. Her ability to blend logic and reassurance together is second to none, as far as he's concerned. He's already feeling better about the situation, and more positive about its eventual resolution.]
Action
[It's hard to beat Dolly at being nonthreatening.]
I have noted they seem to like quiet.
[Loud noises like say, the Voltorb, tend to startle the poor strange pokemon.]
Action
[Which is true...a lot of the time, but Krieg is also quiet a lot more often than he realizes, too. Dolly has had a lot to do with that.]
But I don't want to scare the monsters.
[Also: that. Who would have guessed that this big meaty murder machine has an equally big but surprisingly soft heart?]
Action
Yeah. You're pretty good with pokemon.
Action
[Because people don't always tell you when they're upset, or hurting, or if they need something. They also don't always tell you when you've upset them, or hurt them. Pokemon - at least the ones he's met - don't play that game. Artifice is an entirely human art, and it's not one he understands.]
Action
They are, aren't they.
[Huh, that's actually true. People lie and trick you. Pokemon seem to be pretty straightforward. And if there's anything Maya hates it's being betrayed or used.]
Action
[Well, most people. Present company excluded. He knows he'll never have to worry about Maya hiding anything from him, or playing games with him, or...anything, really.]
...I'm really glad you're here.
