003 | Video
[When the video starts, Dandy isn't looking exactly thrilled. Despite this, the joyful sounds of his Pokemon can be heard in the background because right behind him are his giant skuntank and equally giant toucannon cooing and fussing over the egg he got from those legend seeking weirdos.
Even Martini, the Pokemon he always used as an excuse as to why he shouldn't have an egg, seems to be getting in on this. Although instead of chowing down, when she manages to wiggle away with the egg, all she can do is nuzzle it and make weird yet oddly content growling noises. Almost like a deino-style purr.
They're all crazy for this egg. Too bad Dandy can't say the same.]
So...like, is there a point to eggs or am I missin' something here? All I do is lug this thing around and nothing's happened yet.
Can't even put it in a ball... Or teach it sweet moves...
I'm seriously this close to eating the damn thing.
[And at that, all three of his girls in the background bristle up in protest, even the comfey around his neck stirs and gives him a very disapproving look.]
Oh, whatever.

It does take some extra time to hatch a pokemon from an egg, especially if it is a rarer species. But there can be a lot of pay-off too. Depending on how they were bred, pokemon that hatch from eggs can already know a ton of moves. There are even some moves that pokemon can only learn through having the right parents.

[The idea alone is hilarious. Fine, send him to egg jail.]
You really think those assholes would just give me something that had the "right parents?" Cuz, uh, I kinda want something with laser eyes... That's totally worth skipping out on the world's biggest omelette right now.
no subject
[Listen, they might do approximately absolutely zero about evil organisations like Team Rocket, but you know they'd come down hard on an egg-eater.]
I guess that depends on who you got the egg from. Though I'm not sure if laser eyes are exactly in the cards...
no subject
[...Anyway, moving on.]
The egg's from that weird nerd club that wanted all those bird photos, but if there's no laser eyes, then I don't really see a point.
What about, like, a gun?
[Surely there's a Pokemon that's just born with a gun.]
no subject
Uhm. There is a pokemon shaped like a sword. And several that are capable of shooting projectiles, but...
Why would you want a pokemon to have a gun?
no subject
It's a known fact that things become at least a hundred times cooler the moment they have a gun.
And I bet it'd make battling easier.
no subject
I suppose, if you say so... but aren't guns pretty limited? They are really only any good against human opponents.
In fact, they probably wouldn't do much in a pokemon battle. I don't think bullets would be able to take down any rock pokemon, for example. And a fire pokemon could probably melt a gun's barrel before you could shoot it.
no subject
[Why Dandy believes lasers are somehow less limited than an actual gun is anyone's guess.]
Now I'd love to see a rock with eyes take something like THAT on.
no subject
[Sorry, Dandy, he comes from a time when the musket is still a fairly fancy recent gun.]
no subject
Look kid, I don't know how it works, I just know how to shoot 'em.
[Barely.]
Just trust me, it looks kickass. People would line up from all over the planet for a laser gun dog.
no subject
[He doesn't sound particularly convinced but is clearly trying to be Polite about it.]
But... couldn't you just teach your pokemon a move like Solarbeam or Hyperbeam? That is... sort of like a laser, I think.
no subject
[His eyes sparkle in a way they probably shouldn't.]
It's about time someone finally told me something useful. So where can I get my hands on those? I got battles to win.
no subject
But you can also teach the move to your pokemon using TMs. I'm not sure where they are sold exactly. The department store in Goldenrod city sells a lot of them, so your best bet is to try there. Even if they don't sell them, they'll probably know of a location that does.
And [he frowns for a moment as he thinks.] I know there is one gym that gives out Hyper Beam as a prize when you beat it. I'd have to check my notes for which one exactly though.
no subject
Lemme cut to the chase, would any of that crap work on her?
[He points his thumb over his shoulder at his deino, who's still having a blast playing with Dandy's egg.]
no subject
Not as she is now. She'd have to fully evolve, but then she should be able to learn Hyper Beam.
[Whether she should for, you know, everybody else's sake is something else entirely.]
no subject
[Somehow Dandy's need to have an adorable pooch just saved everyone's life. If only they knew how lucky they truly are.]
This is doggie discrimination! I demand a hyper beam for the little guy!!
no subject
D-demand from who?
[Armin is only the messenger.]
It's not like there is a regulatory body who decides what moves pokemon get to use. It's just... biology. You can't make demands of biology.
no subject
[He is going to get his dog to fire lasers, or so help him.]
Where's the nearest biologist so I can kick his ass?!
