New Bark Town

[Okay Deuce is just going to completely ignore the weirdness that was waking up with this not-his-mom lady kicking him out and instead focus on the more important thing.

He has a Wynaut in his arms, looking around frantically for anyone who can help.]

Uh, is he yours? I found him outside that lady's house and he started following me...

Some Random Route

[Once again, Deuce is holding a Pokemon in his arms and frantically looking for anyone who can help. Today's 'mon? A Togepi.]

D'you know how to get her out of her shell?! She just hatched and she's stuck but it hurts when I try to get her out!

Route 38

[Deuce and his two Pokemon have been stopped by a Very Determined Miltank. He sorta glances at his Wynaut.]

There is no way you can fight that cow.

Wyyyyy.

You're a baby! It's a cow!

[No one ever said Mama Spade raised a smart boy, just a sweet boy. Someone stop him from trying to fist-fight a cow.]

new bark town

[fortuna_tenax]

( she doesn't come back to new bark town often- far from it, actually. but she does come back- so she's not too surprised to see a newbie who misunderstands what's happening. jinx takes a look at the wynaut... and then back to the boy with an amused smile. )

Nope. He's yours. Everyone gets a companion to start with, so they can get through things safely.

[deuceswild]

[He looks down at the Wynaut, who just sort of wiggles.]

But how'd they know?! How'd he know? Are you sure he's not lost?

[fortuna_tenax]

( fuckin superb, you funky lil wynaut. )

Hm... That's a good question, actually. But he is yours, and he wouldn't be following you if he didn't want to be yours. These guys are pretty smart, after all.

[deuceswild]

[Another look at the wiggly Wynaut.]

He's never met me. What if, like, he decides he wants a different human?

[fortuna_tenax]

Mmm... that's on you, then. Amalthea- the one I got, she was a tiny unicorn- never wanted to leave me. Just be good to him, and he'll be by your side. .... Buuuut since you're already concerned about hypothetical wants, I don't think you've gotta worry too much.

[deuceswild]

[The Wynaut continues to wiggle. Put! Him Down!]

Okay...I've never had a pet before but it can't be worse than Grim. He's not gonna eat weird rocks, is he?

[fortuna_tenax]

Mmm...

( let her check it's mouth- )

I don't think he's got the teeth for it. ... It can happen with some of them.

[deuceswild]

Grim doesn't have the teeth for it and he still eats those weird things.

Route 38

[nellacerniera]

And you fighting it would be a worse idea than your Wynaut fighting it.

[Hello Deuce, that is a hand set on your shoulder, by a man accompanied by a Nidorino, the Poison-type eyeing the Miltank with a gleam in his eye.]

[deuceswild]

[And that is Deuce moving the Togepi under his arm like a football so he can haul back and try to deck whoever spooked him.]

The hell?!

[nellacerniera]

[Ah, perhaps he should've given a warning.

Well, no matter. He takes a step back, putting his hands up. The Skitty clinging to Bucciarati's shoulder hisses lightly.

The Nidorino, meanwhile, is still sizing up the Miltank.]

[deuceswild]

Who the hell're you?

[The Wynaut recognizes that the Nidorino can handle this and so steps outta the way. The Togepi just giggles.]

[nellacerniera]

Another trainer, and one that's quite concerned for your safety. You've seen the kind of damage a Pokémon can do in a fight, right?

[And, without word from his trainer, the Nidorino charges the Miltank.

... That'll be a while.]

[deuceswild]

No? They're babies. I'm not going to let them fight!

[nellacerniera]

[There's a discontented 'myaaa' from the Skitty, to the tune of "but what if they want to?"]

Trust me, I had the same concerns about Buttons here when I first got her. [As he pats the Skitty's head.] But if you're that intent on not letting those two battle, you may want to get something stronger, if only for your own safety.

[deuceswild]

[Buttons?? Cute.]

How? Yo-yo just found me after I got here, and someone gave me Toga.

Random Route

[crystalmaster]

[Radley stops walking when he hears the worried exclamation.]

I kinda think Togepi stay in part of their egg until they evolve. I don't get it, but it seems to be normal.

[His Pokemon, two adorable Eevees, come over to say Hello too.]

[deuceswild]

Oh...so it's just because she's a baby?

[A baby who is waving at the Eevees!]

[crystalmaster]

Something like that.

[Evie, the female Eevee, dances around and goes on two legs to wave back!]

[deuceswild]

[That gets Deuce's attention, and he glances down at the Eevees.]

Oh! Can I pet them? They look soft...

[crystalmaster]

Sure.

[Radley smiles.]

They love attention. And they are very soft.

[deuceswild]

[!!! Excuse him while he pets the babies.]

Do they get stuck in their shell, too?

[crystalmaster]

[The Eevees are thrilled to be petted, especially the girl.]

Uh ... shell? Oh, you mean their eggs! Well, I haven't heard of that happening with Eevees, but I guess I'll find out soon. I'm raising an Eevee egg.

[deuceswild]

So it's just this one?

[The Togepi is perfectly happy, but Deuce is still gonna worry.]

Should I ask a vet or something?
