[Wirt is much more ruffled today. In the background, his Buizel is busy punching a tree. His other Pokemon, Swablu, Shinx, and Fennekin are keeping their distance.]

S-So! [Nice voice crack, there.] Uh, anyway- m-my Buizel hatched and....well he...punched me in the face.

He just wants to fight everything! He beat up poor Tesla, and he's got type advantage! I really...don't know what I'm supposed to do here! I-I mean, you'd think I'd just take him to the gym or something, right?

W-well, I really don't....know much about Pokemon battling....and I really don't want to? I usually just let them do what they want if a wild one shows up. But this guy- [he pans the camera over to the tree puncher. He's really into it, and has worn off some of the bark.] J-Just...please help me out, okay? I really need it!

I'm sorry, Wirt... I don't really know what to tell you other than maybe let him run around? You might just be forced to let him battle...

Re: [Video]

[the_pilgrim]

Well, I let him beat up wild stuff, but it doesn't seem to be enough.

[dangerousidol]

Why not try and talk to someone who knows a good way to burn his energy? Like a bootcamp or something?

Re: [Video]

[the_pilgrim]

A lot of people are telling me to try to take on the gym....

Re: [Video]

[dangerousidol]

I don't know... the gym might be a little too rough on a baby right now.

Re: [Video]

[the_pilgrim]

I don't think he thinks he's a baby.

Re: [Video]

[dangerousidol]

... yeah... hmm... I know! Why don't you do what all those pro ahtletes do and tie some heavy things to his legs?

[No, Rise, no.]

Re: [Video]

[the_pilgrim]

Weights? I dunno, he just hatched! P-Plus, I don't know if that's....ethical.

Re: [Video]

[dangerousidol]

Would you rather him beat everyone up or be ethical? Pokémon are really strong, even if they just hatched!

Re: [Video]

[the_pilgrim]

I don't want him to beat anyone up!

Re: [Video]

[dangerousidol]

But you gotta do something! You don't want to have to give them up, right? So find something he can do other than fight!

Re: [Video]

[the_pilgrim]

Yeah, but what? Knitting?

Re: [Video]

[dangerousidol]

I was thinking more like swimming.

Re: [Video]

[the_pilgrim]

That...makes a lot of sense, actually.

Re: [Video]

[dangerousidol]

..... why didn't you think of that before? He's a water type.

[Not to be cruel, Rise, but it took you forever to get to that, too.]

Re: [Video]

[the_pilgrim]

It wasn't real high on the list of things, you know.

Re: [Video]

[dangerousidol]

Fine...... there should be somewhere in town he can swim. And since it's getting warmer, you can swim with him!

Re: [Video]

[the_pilgrim]

M-Me? Go swimming....publicly?

Re: [Video]

[dangerousidol]

Why not? How else would you swim?

Re: [Video]

[the_pilgrim]

I can't do that! I'll get laughed out of town!

Re: [Video]

[dangerousidol]

Why? I've swum in public plenty of times.

Re: [Video]

[the_pilgrim]

Well, yeah, it's easy for a pretty girl to-! [OHNOE]

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

[She's used to being called pretty. She doesn't bat an eye. Instead, she pouts.]

Yeah, well, I should be more afraid than you! Guys don't have to worry about their weight or size, and they can run around in whatever they want, and if a girl does that, do you know how ridiculed she is? Guys have it so much easier! You don't have to accessorize, or wear the right color, or worry about getting an embarrassing sunburn!

[Rise totally misunderstood the whole situation.]

Re: [Video]

[the_pilgrim]

[THE EMBARRASSMENT!]

But! I'm!

Re: [Video]

[dangerousidol]

You're what? Afraid?
