016 [ video / action ] [POKE SPEECH]

[imthe_shit]

[ When the gear feed flicks on, viewers will find a big Ampharos face on-screen. After a view moments, Asimov backs up and lets out a cheerful sound before turning the gear towards an egg. There are other Pokemon around it: Boss the Torkoal and Starla-Jazz the Starly. ]

Okay, I got the Gear on.

About time.

Hey, Boss! Be nice! This is our first egg-sitting job! What kind of attitude is that?

I never wanted to egg-sit. You guys forced me into it.

[ Starla looks pretty miffed, her feathers all ruffled. ] Because we all need to be in this together. Dave trusted us with taking care of this egg and helping it hatch! We can't let him down.

[ Boss smirked, lowering his head a bit. ] More like dumped it on us and took off.

[ Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Asimov raised a hand. ] Okay, okay, guys! Let's focus on the task at hand. This egg needs a lot of love and we're the only ones that Snake can count on! Are you with me?

I am, Asi!

Hmph.

.... Oooor we could ask other Pokémon if they know what to do about raising an egg...?

Oh, no, no, no, you misunderstand me, birdfriend. I meant that it's such a shame your walking furnace companion over there brings your team down lower than a Diglett's butt.

The pokemon make the trainer, not the other way around. If shellboy over there can't take the heat of battle it's his fault your trainer isn't all he could be.

[ Boss looks a bit miffed at that and he expels smoke in response. ] I don't bring the team down. I can hold my own. I'm the one he uses to train up these small fries. [ With his head, he gestures to Asimov. ] This kid is so over-leveled he's useless to the team. He doesn't do a damn thing the old man wants.

[ Asimov gasps and growls. ] Hey! That's not it! It'd just be unfair if I won everything for him because he should be training you guys up! I listen, but I can't obey because if I did, that would be cheating.

Oh yeah, sure. When you disobey, it's because you're being a good sport. When I disobey, I'm just a bad egg.

_{[As the two pokemon argue, the Sandshrew clasps her paws. c8 AW YE. This is what she wanted all alone. She's more than content to just sit and watch.]}

[imthe_shit]

[ Feeling frustrated, Starla delivers a Wing-Attack to both Boss and Asimov. ]

No fighting! We have to set a good example for the egg!

_{[Bossy nearly fails to contain a snicker. The Sandshrew is loving this.]}

I'll let the lot of you sort it out. Ta ta!

_{[She flips the 'gear closed and feels accomplished.]}
