okay listen up you weedles, I was going through a bunch of old photos stored on this thing and found this one I forgot about from like idk a few months ago or maybe a year or something

it's starter appreciation day so it seemed appropriate to just say a few words or something about that ugly orange thing in the picture with me

okay so first of all
i hate dogs
like
i fuckin HATE them, okay. I always have
I also hate FIRE
Fire and dogs are basically like the top two things on my hate list
so when you take that into account, Cujo the Growlithe is essentially an overlapping circle graph of everything i hate



needless to say, when they gave me HIM on top of all the interdimensional kidnapping and shit it basically felt like this:



except he was some kinda huge mutation or something 
so
i mean
really




like seriously let's take a look at this majestic animal



unlike that other picture, nothing in this one is an exaggeration everything you see is the bare naked truth, like speaking of naked i have no idea how he loses so much hair (on me) every single day and yet still looks like the unholy baby of a tiger and a dusty bunny that lives on the cutting-room floor of a Muppet movie

so yea what I'm trying to say is that i was SUPER DUPER THRILLED at being told i was going to have to go on a magical adventure with this thing. like it'd be one thing if he minded his own business and stayed away from me but



what made it even worse is the fact that i am pretty sure this dog has like two fucking brain cells, i don't think dogs are supposed to be like this



anyway i would draw more of the retarded stuff he does but i think you get the general idea. he is basically the stupidest thing on the planet

so it probably goes without saying that for a long time i basically hated him. he was always up in my space and as i said before, i fuckin hate dogs. his hair got all over my clothes. he was heavy and knocked me down and chewed on my shoes and constantly ran away and got me in trouble because he knocked OTHER people down and chewed on THEIR shoes and to top it all off he'd light things on fucking fire



so what you're all probably thinking is, wow, she clearly hates this poor animal, so was that picture at the beginning photoshopped at something

i'm not even actually sure if they have photoshop here but the answer is NO

you see, after a few months of just generally trying to ignore him, some shit happened and i learned something
despite the colossal asshole i'd been, he stuck with me and protected me anyway. like seriously i was pretty much the most gigantic douchenozzle towards him but he was basically too stupid and nice to care, and things like that deserve someone who actually treats them decent

because seriously i probably would have died if it weren't for him

so yeah uh three years later, here we are

love ya, you stupid stinky dog

[He holds up the dragon then sets him down with a whistle to Snoop the dragonite.]

Yep. All of them by nature think 'shit I want to fly let me go up onto the tallest cliff and try'. Word of warning about Duskull, don't get one. I'm serious. You'll wake up to your new buddy staring at you.

Oh, don't worry, I won't.

I hate Ghost types.

One is enough.

Word.

I'm sticking to dragons, fire, and dark types. They're a lot more even tempered than one might think.

Yeah, and I'll...

... Actually, I dunno. I don't even have a type in particular...

_{[Aside from her several Fire-types, but the thought of her 'type' being fire makes her cringe in disgust, no matter how fitting it would be.]}

Well, how do you pick the pokes you catch or buy as eggs? [He's curious.]

... Now that I think of it, I haven't actually bought or caught any Pokemon for myself in a really long time.

I just keep on getting them from people I know who disappear.

_{[Or she gets them from JOHTO, in the case of Alessa, and Mully, and the as-of-yet unnamed centipede thing she got for Christmas.]}

...that sucks. [You really have his sympathy there even if he isn't going to say so.] That's only happened to me once. I got two fire dogs from someone I knew.

... Yeah... at this point it's happened to me more times than I can count.

_{[It's the price you have to pay for being a long-term resident. In the space of three years, losses start to add up.]}

[Well, that's the next thing he has to confirm.] Been here a while?

It'll be three years in June.

I'll be here a year, in September. My friends have been here for nearly three.

The time goes by quickly, doesn't it?

Only when you're not paying too much attention to it. It's temperamental like that.

Heh.

Very true.

This place is nothing if not fickle.

_{[It likes to catch people with their guard down...]}

[He pauses.] What types would you favor if you wanted to specialize?

I guess if I had a choice...

Bug types are pretty cool, so I wouldn't mind training those. ... Dark types, too.

You know, it's kind of surprising there isn't a Dark and Bug type Pokemon. Seems like most of the dark types are dual typed and bugs are pure bug.

Yeah, you'd think there would be. I've seen a lot of OTHER dual-type bugs...

My dad has one that's part fire of all things.

_{[She has tentatively forgiven it for being a Fire Pokemon on the basis that it's really fuckin' cute.]}

Ok, that's just badass. My bro is collecting steel types, so he needs Scyther and metal coat. I've seen the results, looks pretty awesome too.

Yeah?

I always thought Scyther looked pretty cool.

Never did see one in the wild, though. If I had, I'da tried to catch it.

Never seen one in the wild but if I ever do, I'll catch it. First time, someone I know came here that was his starter. [If sees an egg for sale though, he might just shoot it your way.]

_{[Well, Heather's seen the eggs for sale plenty of times, but she's a notoriously bad egg-mom. Hence the lack of buying any for herself.]}

I think you can find them in the National Park. You know, the one north of Goldenrod.

Sounds like it, I'll have to check that out whenever I get back in Johto.
