Everybody, you need to watch this!

[Greg's voice sounds probably sounds unreasonably excited as he films Duck--the Kricketune he inherited from his son, Steven--striding out into the center of Greg and Rose's bed inside their traveling caravan, a miniature guitar strapped to his chest and star-shaped sunglasses on his face. He carries a tiny prop microphone.

And then Duck begins to sing.

It's a fairly familiar song from specific world and relative time period, one about blessing the rains down in Africa, and the little pokemon is thoroughly rocking out, the delelelele building up to a resounding WHOOP.

After the performance, you can hear Greg laughing, before he turns the camera around so it faces him.] Great, isn't it? He's already learned how to do a Christmas song by Mawile Carey! Does anyone have any requests for what he should try next?

I see. That makes more sense. In fact... Now that I think about it, Pokemon of the same species tend to look pretty much alike, don't they? I have a couple who are a little different, but it's not like a lot of other creatures, where someone might have a mustache, or a big nose, or a kink in their tail.

Oh, but, I really was impressed by your Pokemon's singing! Was it hard to teach him?

[cometkin]

Yeah, it's kind of weird, honestly. Even a bunch of Rubies doesn't look that much alike.

And no, actually, it wasn't that hard at all! He picks up these things pretty well.

I'm sure they can tell each other apart, but yes, it's very weird. My Carbink and the one my friend caught look the same to me...

You know, I guess that's not very surprising. Pokemon seem pretty clever, at least when they want to be, and music is everywhere. I wouldn't be surprised if different species have their own sort of music that they make in the wild.

[cometkin]

Oh sure, that makes a lot of sense to me. Maybe I should like go out into the grass more to listen.

Really? It doesn't make all that much sense to me, but I've seen it enough to know it's true. If you're looking for music you'll probably find it, that's what my friend Mokey says. You might like her, I think.

She's creative, too, and she would love that lil guy you've got there. Even a bug with a moustache would be beautiful to her.
