Casefile 004A - Video/Action for Goldenrod City

[used_fireblast]

[The feed clicks on with Harry in the Goldenrod Pokemon Center. He's obviously got the Gear propped up on something, as he sits back in a waiting-room chair to reveal a tiny Cyndaquil sleeping in his arms. He's silent for a moment, looking a bit uncomfortable.]

So... I woke up this morning and this little girl was hatching.

[A glance down at the sleeping Pokemon, almost like he's worried about breaking her.]

Do, ah, do baby Pokemon need any kind of special care? I mean like a liquid diet or anything?

Smoo-chu! Chum!

[A small hand waves over one side of the screen, revealing that Harry has his Smoochum playing cameraman today. Harry himself just glances up, looking sort of annoyed for a second.]

Thanks Lara, that's a HUGE help.

[First time Pokedad. Lara acts like an unruly child sometimes, but the only special care Harry's needed to provide so far has been stopping her from getting bored and breaking things.]

That's good. I don't think I've seen any stores around here carrying Poke-Gerbers, for one.

I've taken care of a few eggs before, and from my experience they pretty much get used to themselves almost immediately after hatching. One of them even took the berries from me because they were hungry.

That part doesn't surprise me.

[Glancing down at the sleeping Cyndaquil. The Pokedex said she's supposed to be about a foot tall... long... whatever, but she looks smaller than that.]

Ready to battle and everything, huh?

[He doesn't look particularly happy about that part. Sending Pokemon into battle is something he's gotten used to, at least in theory, but this feels different.]

Well, don't worry about actually letting them battle for now. [He notices the look.] I mean, if it doesn't make you comfortable.

Guess I'll have to wait and see what she wants.

[He tried keeping Lara out of battle the first time he was in Johto. It ended painfully.]

Not too keen on the thought, huh? [Not too hard for him to guess, at least.]

Re: video;

Eh, it gets a little hard to remember that these things are capable of taking down tanks, I guess.

[What are you talking about, Harry has an epic poker face.]

[Snort.] Yeah. Some of these guys are scarier than a nuclear warfare, I figure--- if they actually let loose.

[If Lara ever gets bigger...]

Like a kid with a hand-grenade.

[He grimaces at the comparison.]

Okay yeah, not the best mental image, but good comparison.

[Joining in the grimmace; Harry managed to bring up some nasty memories himself. Why you betray me like that, brain?]

Ye-e-ah.

...I'm still kind of weirded out that a fire-hedgehog came out of an egg.

[Oh look, a not-at-all-awkward-or-forced subject change!]

[If he noticed, he's not showing it.]

Cyndaquil, if I remember right. Not the weirdest, trust me. I've seen other things come out of the egg that just don't work.
