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?

You'll be just fine. I took on a few gyms with Marcel as my front. He actually took care of the gym in Azalea more or less by himself when he was a Growlithe, and I had only been here for... Two? Maybe three months?

I think it might, though. I just wouldn't hold it while it evolves if you go that route, and you can probably ask Armin why.

[ why deny yourself the scratch, bertolt? the little pokemon chirps, gumming at bertolt's finger after a moment with her baby teeth.

marco gives a little laugh. ]

After Viola, I plan on keeping any evolution stones far out of reach.

You say that now, but just wait until Marcel starts to weasel his way into your room at night and you get addicted to having a walking furnace. Or it somehow finds a stone and gets into it.

She already feels pretty warm.

[ teddy chirps helpfully - look, you don't think he was getting nothing out of this, right?- and marco grins. ]

But seriously - thank you, Bertolt. And happy early birthday.

[ a day early, but still. bert may think he didn't get a present, but there's a red stand mixer helpfully hidden for him they all pitched in on. ]
