Um... This is Bertolt, and if you're hearing this I'm probably busy. You can leave a message here or call back later if you want? ...Can I start over?

I think you'd LOVE a Furfou! It would fit perfectly in your dog collection!!

What's the one your uncle got you called?? What's it look like??

I'll take some pictures of my new ones!

[bertall]

Grooming one can't be any worse than an Arcanine, right? There's less hair and drool to worry about, especially when the seasons change. I bet I could get a sweater made out of all the fur Marcel blows out, maybe even more if I count Hera and Barbeque.

But ummmm hang on let me get him|

_{[Some odd minutes later, he attaches several pictures of a Swirlix. There's even some fur-fluff covering his eyes like a shaggy little dog, only made out of cotton candy.]}

He's a Swirlix. I named him after one of our squad leaders from home who had a really uh|

He had a really good sense of smell like these guys do. I couldn't think of anything else at the time.

[guiltyeyes]

Whoa!! He looks like a little cotton candy puff! ☆

[ In return, Mari provides several pictures including an Inkay with black-tipped tentacles and the cutest little Steenee you ever did see batting her eyes at the camera. Lastly, she has attached Spinel who has grown up to be a big boy. ]

So the first one is Jet, the second is Mai, and THEN there's Spinel! I bought him a Water Stone with my savings. How could he get more shiny??

[bertall]

He's just as sticky as it, too.

<sub>[Seriously, it just takes a few pats before his hand starts to feel like he dunked it in a bowl of sugar. It's weird.

Even weirder when his Aggron or Arcanines gang up and decide to lick his poor hand clean. He's pretty sure if Swirlix weren't so cute (and terrifying in a bad mood), they'd be considered little treats in the wild Pokemon world.]</sub>

I think I've seen hats that look like Jet. Usually I see more Magikarp ones, but I always thought the little squids were uh
cuter

Do Spinel's extra legs give him any issue walking around?

[guiltyeyes]

Jet's a funny little guy. He likes to float around and turn all my stuff upside down. If he's sitting in the bath at the Inn, I'll come back and see all of the shampoo bottles on their heads, boxes, soap, even my lamp. You name it!

It's weird because Spinel kinda floats around sometimes. Or he does smoother cartwheels. I haven't really thought about how he moves around until he got the extra ones.

I was reading up on Starmie and they're apparently not starfish?? They're aliens!

[bertall]

That's|
that's really cute actually.

_{[So much cuter than when Aggreiner was a tiny little Aron and saw fit to eat all of his metal spoons and forks.]}

Aliens though... Ford might really like to hear about them if he hasn't already. He knows more about that sort of thing than I do.

[guiltyeyes]

[ She hasn't even mentioned that Mai will dance to anything that sounds like a song. Even the humming of the minifridge. ]

It's super crazy. I've been trying to learn more and more about all of my Pokemon to better understand them. I noticed that Spinel's new legs are like

attached but they can spin around like there's an axle between the two segments. It's how he swims. Like a goofy little top. Something about his gem can mess with radio and electric signals too. Do you think if I ran it by Ford he might know what's up with that?

He's all about physics and nerd junk.

Meanwhile, Furfrou were bred to protect kings.

[bertall]

He should! He's... I've been able to learn more from him than I ever could back home for a number of reasons. My dad did the best he could with what we had and then the military only really taught us kids what we needed to know for fighting and things like that - we didn't really have radios or TVs, so we didn't have to worry about any interference.

I don't think any of mine are like that. If anything, Arcanine were sort of worshiped and my Tyrantrum was a king back before his species went extinct the first time. Or at least he acts like one sometimes. Maybe a Furfrou could put Galli in his place if he ever got too wild.

[guiltyeyes]

It's crazy how long Pokemon have been around if you think about it.

I heard that Blackthorn is all about dragons? Have you seen any?

[bertall]

I haven't been able to get into the big cave where a lot of them are supposed to live because I have to beat Claire first, but my Jangmo-o

well

He's evolved since then now but before he knocked a bunch of holes in my house he ended up scaring some Drampa and they sort of... locked me inside for awhile. I think they were trying to protect me more than anything, but I have them with me now. I'm just not sure if I should keep both of them, but letting them go back where they know my Jangmo-o is doesn't seem right either.

[guiltyeyes]

Your Jangmo-o needs some obedience training, Bertolt.

if i gave you some money and a kiss would you be able to find me a drampa

just asking~♡

[bertall]

He was fine until he ended up with eggs of his own. He's in time-out in the PC until I get up to Blackthorn and then I might try asking Claire for adiv|






wait what
you don't have to do that

[guiltyeyes]

Boys let their hormones get the best of them all the time.

It's a fair exchange though!!

[bertall]

...I can't argue with that.

_[SMART.]

You don't have to give me any money for one.

[guiltyeyes]

But you'll take the kiss?

[bertall]

I











i can't really turn that down can i?

_{[He'd be crazy to do that, wouldn't he?]}

[guiltyeyes]

But hoooooow will I deliver it!

[bertall]

There's more than one way?

what are they

[guiltyeyes]

I can't exactly fly out to Blackthorn...

a beautiful trash fire

[bertall]

I bought a pass from Goldenrod when I came back in December for the train. Once my house is fixed I could take it to Saffron and bring the Drampas so you could choose and uh...

just date already

[guiltyeyes]

If you let me know when, we could meet up. I'm gonna be heading to Lavender Town soon myself.

I could get you something for a proper trade.

right

[bertall]

I'll let you know once it's fixed, I promise.

...Actually, which route are you taking towards Lavender?

[guiltyeyes]

I was told that Route 8 was my best bet.

Why?

[bertall]

Could you keep an eye out for any Phantumps? I've got one, but he sort of showed up with me after Reiner left for the first time so I'm... not sure how they act in the wild.

[guiltyeyes]

Sure! I'm looking for a Pumpkaboo! If I see any of the tree guys, I'll grab you one, okay?

I'll analyze it and everything~ Promise, promise!!
