[ Right square in the middle of Cherrygrove City, Snake is staring down his Torkoal, Boss, who appears to have... something... in his mouth. It looks square-shaped, and it's glimmering somewhat in the sunlight. The old soldier takes a hesitant step forward. ]

C'mon, Boss... Don't do this.

[ Boss clamps his mouth tighter around the object, causing Snake to freeze up. ] No, don't! [ Aaand... gulp. The mysterious box is gone forever, swallowed by the large fire-tortoise. ]

....

[ Snake pulls out his Pokégear, creating a video post. ]

[ VIDEO ]

[ He looks a bit... nervous. ] Hey, uh... Say, hypothetically, that a Pokémon swallowed a ... hypothetical pack of cigarettes. Would that... hypothetical Pokémon be harmed in any way?

... Hypothetically.

That would depend on the type of superpower. What if its spit becomes poinsonous, or it starts breathing smoke when it's angry?

[imthe_shit]

It already breathes smoke all the damn time.

...It's a Fire-type, then? I'm not sure if that makes the whole situation safer or riskier.

[imthe_shit]

Yeah, I don't know either.

I guess I'll let the Nurse scold me for a while.

Since it's not the first time, you can always try to put the blame on your repeat offender.

[imthe_shit]

I'm sure we'll both get scolded, but probably me more so than him... Since I'm his trainer.

Being the boss in a team has plenty of perks, but that would be one of the few disadvantages.

Might as well get this over with...

Thanks for the advice, anyway. [ click. ]
