[ The tail end of a sigh can be heard as Chris enables the voice option on his PokéGear. Though it’s more of a response to the chilly weather rather than sounding tired or disappointed. Still, he has to pause as he quietly clears his throat and fights the urge to huff while he tries to warm up some at his Local Pokémon Center™. ]

Does anyone have any tips or advice for new trainers? Think my new friend and I started off on the wrong foot with a small scuffle, but I suppose it’s expected given its nature. Its name is ‘Stufful’, if that helps.

[ What a sneaky pun. ]

Anyway, I give her as much space as possible and she’s rather content on trailing behind or leading the way, but is in need of some grooming. Wondering how we both can get around this before attempting to since she’s rather finicky when it comes to touch.

Thanks in advance.

YOU SHOULD HELP YOUR POKEMON FRIEND INCREASE THEIR LVL BY BEATING UP OTHER POKEMON!

[ Chris was content on using the voice option for any other replies, but since he's already Fired Up the selfie cam for Jill might as well do the same all around. Papyrus, however, is one very enthusiastic dude. ]

We've had some run-ins with other trainers and a few wild ones on our trip to Cherrygrove. Think the fighting gets her more fired up afterwards though, but I'll keep it in mind.

[Boy you haven't even seen the tip of the iceberg]

FANTASTIC! PITTING YOUR POKEMON AGAINST ANOTHER'S IN BATTLE IS ALSO AN EXCELLENT SOURCE OF EXP!

[radfield]

[ With a lil less conversation, a lil more determination maybe he can! One day. ]

Naturally. [ Chris laughs on his end. It was obvious that given enough training and battles Stufful would become stronger. Though he didn't know 'experience' was formally its own thing in Johto. ] Mind if I ask a bit about your team?

[coolskeleton_95]

I'M ALWAYS HAPPY TO SHOW OFF MY FRIENDS!

[radfield]

That's quite a team.

[ Amaura is probably the most interesting to him though, considering it was more or less restored from its own remains. ]

How do you manage your friends at once? For now, it's just Stufful and even she can get a little too rowdy for me to consider catching anything else.

[coolskeleton_95]

YOU MUST PROVE YOURSELF AS THEIR LEADER, OF COURSE! YOU ARE THE COMMANDER OF THE ROYAL GUARD, AND THEY ARE YOUR UNDERLINGS! BUT ALSO, VERY GOOD FRIENDS!

[radfield]

[ Essentially, go as if he were the captain of his own squad? Yeah, easy enough. ]

The Royal Guard, huh? Think I can manage all of that.

[ Have a thumbs up, Papyrus. ]

[coolskeleton_95]

NYEH-HEH-HEH! I GET THE FEELING WE'LL BE THE BEST OF FRIENDS!

[radfield]

Yeah, I wouldn't mind.

[ All right, that gets a good laugh out of him. ]

So, you got a name? Mine's Chris.

[coolskeleton_95]

I AM THE GREAT PAPYRUS! IT'S A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU, CHRIS!

[radfield]

Papyrus? I prefer Times, but for you I'm willing to let your choice of font slide.

[coolskeleton_95]

I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN BY THAT! PAPYRUS IS MY NAME, THOUGH I DO ENJOY USING THE FONT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS WELL!

[radfield]

[ He waves off his Bad Dad Joke on his end of the feed. ]

Don't worry about it too much, Papyrus. I'll kill the frog some other time.

[coolskeleton_95]

[Don't worry, he'll scream at the next one.]

NOOO! DON'T KILL FROGGITS! THEY'RE STILL LEARNING ABOUT COMPLIMENTS!

[radfield]

[ That scream, though. ]

Relax, it's a way of saying you'll explain a joke. No one's really gonna kill a frog.

[coolskeleton_95]

....

WELL, THAT'S A HORRIBLE EXPRESSION!

[radfield]

You're telling me. But with you I'll keep the odd, uh, idioms to myself. No need to worry 'bout next time, Papyrus.

[coolskeleton_95]

WHY, THANK YOU!
