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?

[Elsa has to laugh a little, if only because many, many people have butted heads with Chloe. So she isn't surprised to see that Bert is one of them as well.]

I think that was a common thing with her. But as for your other problem? I think it's going to come down to trust. You know how Ponyta will burn you if she doesn't know you? It's much like that.

Ponyta do that? I had no idea... I've never actually met one before-- A-All I've ever had as far as large fire types go are Arcanine and Growlithe.

Do you have any suggestions how to do that?

[Elsa is quiet for a moment, trying to draw the strength to not devolve into a sad mess at having to discuss what she's going to discuss.]

Well- I would imagine she's sad. She lost Chloe as much as we all did... so maybe make sure she's doing okay? Spoil her a little. Let her know you're there.

...Do you think she'd like a trip to the garbage dump? I-I'm sure the workers wouldn't mind letting her clean up a little there, but I'm still trying to figure out her likes and dislikes.

_{[There's a few things he can't always provide like Chloe could but it's a start, right?]}

That sounds like a lovely idea! Muks, by default, tend to love dirty places like that. Chloe's, though- I think she especially loved it. So it would probably make her feel right at home.

That's...

_{[Does he look more relaxed? Yes, yes he does.]}

That's actually really good to hear. We only have so much garbage at FCAB and our-- I mean, Jean's Trubbish usually clean it out before the bin gets half full, so if she'd like that, then it'll help us out a lot. I'd like to avoid any, uh... fights over garbage.

_{[Not like they'd actually fight or argue, but still.]}

Look at that! You had good ideas all along, you just needed a little push in the right direction!

[Elsa's feeling better already, she's glad she checked in on Bert.]

I think before you know it, you'll be able to touch her without feeling ill in the least!

I-I really don't, uh... The last good idea I had was to sell s'mores lattes and cupcakes through FCAB, and I only had that come into my head because Krieg gave us some... I'm actually not sure what it was, but it was strong. I felt terrible the next morning, but people seem to like the stuff. Actually, I think that was the first good idea I've had here.

_{[Does he have more ideas like that tucked away? He has no idea.]}

In the meantime, do you have any recommendation for ways I could touch her? The gloves we've got here don't seem to work for her.

_{[Nidoking-proof, yes. Muk-proof? Not so much.]}

I bet those were delicious! You just need to have more faith in yourself, is all. As for ideas? Hmm...

[She hasn't had a terrible amount of experience with Muk, just from what she's witnessed and read about.]

I would suggest rubber gloves... or maybe- oh what do they call those suits? That look like beekeeping outfits? H-Hazel...mat? Suit? Can you buy those in a store?

We're still selling them so if you ever see a walking train car, that's us.

_{[Not-beekeeping outfits, though? Hmm... Think, Bertolt, think...]}

...I don't think I've heard of a Hazelmat suit, but, uh... I know what a gas mask is. Are they related?

Yes! You usually wear one when you wear a hazelmat suit, so... You just need the whole get-up. I think that would protect you.

[It's also doing way too much, but no one tell her that.]

I think you're going to do just fine, Bert.

I never did like wearing those, but uh... What if I can't find a full suit?

I think it would be fine if you used just rubber gloves- the suit is just extra! Just try not to let her touch anything but your hands-- it's not hard. I have experience.

How, uh... This is going to sound weird, but...

_{[Okay, here it goes.]}

What if I accidentally touched my face with my hands by accident with the gloves? I've done it after touching peppers before, and that was one of the worst thing I've ever felt.

[Oooo that does sound painful.

It takes a moment of thought, but she can only think of one thing.]

Keep an antidote handy! It's fast acting, Pokemon always feel better immediately. I'm sure it would make a good counter to Muk's poison if you do that.

_{[At least his face was the only thing he touched.]}

Sort of like a Nidoking, then? Jean has one of those, but all we've ever gotten are rashes from him nuzzling us.
