"Yo, it's Heather. I'm probably asleep or one of the Pokemon ate my 'Gear or something so I can't answer you right now. But feel free to leave a message or something.
I'll probably get back to you. ... Probably. Peace out."

Yep. Her name's Claudy and she kind of gives everyone the creeps, but she's a sweetie.

And what'd I tell ya?

Electric destroys Flying types.

Kicks their asses.

[Sage nod, as though he's been doing this for years instead of a few weeks.]

I'm glad I have another one now, though. I'm going to run into a ground type sooner or later and then Blitz will be in trouble.

[Someone has been doing his homework.]

Any recommendations for what would be good to catch next?

[foolishwren]

Hmmm.

I'd recommend getting a Fire type, but I honestly forget if there are any down there. Water would be another good thing to have, and there's always Water-types around.

Magikarp, Poliwag...

Magikarp's a good one.

They're totally useless for ages but if you're real patient, they get wicked strong when they grow up.

Magikarps... waaaaait...

Are those those stupid fish that just flop all over the place? Those turn into something good?

[And here Jean had just thrown them back when he'd caught them fishing.]

video

[foolishwren]

They sure do.

Let me guess-- you haven't bothered to catch one, right?

_{[SHE'S BEEN THERE. SHE KNOWS.]}

video

[notvaljean]

I caught one and threw it back because all it did was lay there.

[Dammit!]

What do they turn into?

video

[foolishwren]

_{[Oh, she's grinning huge now.]}

Why don't you train one and find out?

video

[notvaljean]

Because Blitz will probably beat it up all the time and I don't want it to have a shitty life unless it'll turn into something big enough to get revenge.

[Logic!]

video

[foolishwren]

Oh, I don't think you'll have to worry about that.

_{[... Well, I mean, there'll be the 4x type weakness, but Gyarados are terrifying and Heather's pretty sure they can hold their own. Even if she beat one with a Pikachu once.]}

It can learn 'Earthquake'.

[ . . . . ]

What.

[Who knew those stupid fish were actually worthwhile?]

I... I need to go back to that pond and catch one.

video

[foolishwren]

You might just.

Just remember-- patience.

video

[notvaljean]

Patience for a long time and don't let Blitz kill it, got it.

Thanks for the tip. I would've just ignored those things forever if I didn't know better.

Hey, that's why it pays to listen to the elderly. You heard it here first: Magikarp.
