So now that things quieted down a bit, what's anyone actually make of these things?

[Lancer was poking and prodding at a ~~Goomy~~ Bloober that sat on the table in front of him. If anything, the little slime seemed to be enjoying it. At least, that might have been what those blubbing noises meant. After a minute of scrutinizing the little creature like that, he shrugged and turned to face the camera properly, head on his hand.]

I've been here a long time, and I don't think I've ever seen anything like them. Not that I'm complaining--something interesting was long overdue around here, you know? It gets damn repetitive around here--but nah, that's probably a discussion for another day if I haven't said as much before.

[He shrugged, and next to him the little slime inched itself off-camera and out of sight. Not seeming to notice that, Lancer continued:]

Back to what I was talking about...how exactly do you train something you don't know the first thing about? I ain't an expert on training techniques, but getting it to listen isn't the problem. Fighting in itself without knowing these things' abilities or weaknesses is going to be nearly impossible.

[As Lancer considered this, the Bloober that had been on the table was now in the background...somehow having managed to climb a bookshelf. Yeah, this'll go well.]

The best I can guess so far is they're probably resistant to water, seeing how they practically live off of it-- [Finally realizing all was not well, Lancer raised his head off his hand and glanced around.] ...huh? Amhrasach?

[Apparently sensing incoming disaster, Lancer slowly looked over his shoulder...and immediately found a ball of 60% slime and 40% giant mouth diving for what probably passed for a hug.]

WHAT THE F--

[AMHRASACH used TACKLE!]

[Critical hit! It connected directly with Lancer's face and full-on knocked him off his chair and out of sight with a crash.]

[Ireland's greatest hero, folks.]

...Well, you'll certainly have no trouble using the Return TM if you buy it. It's one of the three attacks I know for certain they can learn, and its power depends on happiness.

[Cecil appears to be completely not surprised or bothered by Lancer's predicament. This is quite possibly a sign that he's been in the same situation himself.]

GETOFFMEGETOFFMEGETOFFME-

[...yeah, he's still on the floor. Give him just a sec, Cecil.]

[Goodness, Lancer, you look like you might possibly need help.]

Try throwing a stick or a ball. Mine likes to play fetch, and they all seem relatively like-minded.

[It took a minute or two of flailing before Lancer managed to toss an empty Pokeball, prompting Amhrasach to go chasing it while burbling happily. He finally pulled himself back into the chair, wiping slime off his face and looking very annoyed.]

Please don't tell me they all do that.

Mine is not quite so enthusiastic, but still extremely affectionate. You might want to hope that the rest of your team will serve as a good example and teach it restraint.

[Perhaps it would be best if Lancer ignored the sound of a Bloober, a Ditto and a Beheeyem racing behind Cecil. Cecil himself is certainly ignoring it.]

[ Ouch! That looked like it hurt. ]

... are you going to be okay?

GETITOFFME--

[After some flailing and incoherent shouting, the offending Bloober shuffled its way back onto the table looking pleased with itself. Lancer, on the other hand, pulled himself up with a very displeased look and wiping slime off his face.]

...Uh....yeah. I'm fine.

[ What a true hero. ] You missed some underneath your nose.

[ Looks really nasty.

Way to impress the lady except not. She's not impressed at all. ]

[FURIOUSLY WIPING IT OFF OKAY]

[i'm so sorry for him, sakura]

I'm not that great of a trainer either...these things are a mystery. You would think we'd get some sort of constant news feed. That wasn't us.

[Once he's pried off the little slime dragon...]

You'd think so, but that would just be too easy.

I guess you're right...The only thing I know about mine is it really likes Magikarp Crackers.

All I can gather about mine is that it likes water and playing fetch.

....

Are you alright over there?

Uh...kind of.

[Lancer managed to pry the cheerful Pokemon off his face,wiping off slime as he tried to regain his composure.]

It might be a good idea to just sit still for a while. That looked like it hurt.

Believe me. I've seen and survived a lot worse.

Kyahaha! Do that again!

[Goddammit Saionji stop meeting people this way]

...Yeah, gonna have to pass on that one.

[saionji..........]

Ah, well. It was already fun enough to see you get smacked in the face once. The way you fell off the chair- straight out of a comedy show!

[Pfft.] Unless you did that purposely. That would be lame.

Of course I didn't, don't be stupid.

[wow saionji]

[w o w]

[ He feels sorry for you, man. ]

Better start slow... I don't think something that wants to tackle you more than the opponent is going to be much help in a fight.

No kidding. At least it's...eager, I guess?

That's probably one way you can put it...

[ One... very nice way of putting it. ]

Any luck trying to get it to learn anything yet?

Not really. I'm gonna see if I can try a couple TMs later, maybe that'll do something.
