_{[It's a fairly common occurrence for Godzilla the Totodile to hijack Heather's 'Gear-- he's sort of had an affinity for filming ever since he first hatched, after all. But apart from his one little act of philanthropy a few weeks back, he's actually been surprisingly absent for the most part, at least in the sense that he hasn't been filming with the 'Gear much, with or without permission.]

[But TODAY when Heather's feed fizzles on, it's not the blond trainer but instead the little blue crocodile Pokemon.]

[His pebbled brows are furrowed, though, and ... are those BAGS under his eyes? Is it even possible for reptiles to GET bags under their eyes? Is Heather just rubbing off on him or what?]

[He seems to be sitting on the little balcony outside his trainer's room at the Ecruteak Inn, stubby legs dangling off the edge between the rail bars. Ecruteak is a quiet town at night, and as such there's none of the loud nightlife that characterizes many late-night city posts. Just crickets, and the occasional sound of people or Pokemon moving about in the brightly-lit room behind him.]

[It's a moment or two before he actually says anything, but the look in his red eyes is deeper and more contemplative than the normally self-centered little animal usually has.]}

... What do you have to do to be a good Pokemon?

_{[... Sigh. Yeah he knows. :(]

[So while he looks a little huffy, he doesn't retort. Just looks off to the side with angrily-furrowed brows. He doesn't answer Tricia.]}

... No... I guess not...

And you miss her, right?

_{[He's just going to assume, because he knows he'd miss HIS trainer if he stopped talking to him. :C]}

_{[She hadn't stopped talking to him entirely-- hell she still took him around like most of her other Pokemon, but there was... distance. :(]}

Well, yes.

Right, so then what do you have to lose? Just give it a shot, come on!

_{[There's some cheer back in her voice because she's just trying hard for the Totodile to ALSO cheer up and just go for it. Aidan tilts her head and gives him a little smile to see if that will help, because Tricia just sort of made his point.]}

_{[B-BUT HE'S SO UNSURE. This is what happens when you spend most of your young life being a cocky little upstart and then reality crashes down on you and tells you that NO, you're NOT the center of the universe.]}

I... I might make her more upset.

_{[...BLUEEESSSS]

[Tricia does not understand your troubles, so to her, this is just ... being stubborn in a way that isn't good for anyone.]}

Blues. I'm serious. Just do it. This is the last time I'm telling you and then I'll have officially given up on you.

.... Fine, but...

If she gets angry, it's your fault!

_{[... He's still a little bit immature.]

[But he does drop the 'Gear and go off.]

[... The feed'll probably time out eventually.]}

GOOD LUCK, BLUES!

_{[That'd be called after him quite loudly before she bounds off to bother someone else, pleased that the Totodile is finally DOING something. And Aidan will just slink away for some food. THE END]}
