leaf 009 | [video; action for the Goldenrod hotel]

[bookmarking]

[Clover is in her room at the Goldenrod hotel. She's sitting on her bed with an Eevee beside her, looking somewhat...confused. The Delcatty (yup, we now know where much of the money Clover earns from the Center went to) at her feet is staring at the Eevee, as if wanting to ask, "WHY ARE YOU HERE." Her tail swishes and her attention returns to Clover, who just sighs and starts talking.]

I found Scoville waiting in my PC. [She pats the Eevee on the head.] And there's one other thing. 

... [Clover the Delcatty cocks her head to one side. Her next unspoken question is, "WHAT OTHER THING."]

His previous trainer was Ace, and he's gone. I have no idea why he'd give me his Eevee, but...I'll keep him.

[Scoville beams and wags his tail, bracing his paws onto Clover's lap. Delcatty will just fold her paws regally and just sit Sphinx-style.]

I better start thinking of what he'll evolve into, huh? And his new name, probably. [She frowns in thought. Names are serious business.]

[Filtered to the 999 cast]

By the way, I checked Scoville to make sure he didn't have any tricks up his furry sleeves, and got nothin'. Twice. So I'm pretty sure he's safe. 

But I really dunno why he'd leave him with me. Or maybe Scoville escaped and then found his way into my PC? Geez, I'll never understand that guy. At least he's out of our hair. 

[Clover rolls her eyes, and sighs in relief. And at least he hadn't tried anything out of line.]

[ I KNOW. I SUCK AT RHYMING SO MUCH.... ]

But it might take you a while to find the right one, if you only catch one at a time. A net might be faster.

[LIES, I'M WORSE.]

And then I can just throw back the ones I don't want, right?

[ PFF. I HAVE TO RESORT TO RHYMING DICTIONARIES SOMETIMES. ]

Yeah, so that way another fisherman—...or girl, I guess—can find it and keep it if they want it.

But don't people use the same names sometimes? I mean, I could pick a name and then someone else would use it too...

Wait, they probably come from the same school or something.

That makes sense. There has to be a limited number, though. I mean, think about how boring would it be if everyone named their Pokémon Bob or something.

That'd cause some mass confusion.

It would be really hard to fight a battle against another trainer, that's for sure. The Bobs wouldn't know which attacks they should use.

Even if they knew their trainers' voices by heart?

[ladderpuns]

Do you think they really know our voices that well?

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Who knows? Depends on how long they've been around us.

In that case, I guess it wouldn't be super hard for them to recognize the right commands. They just might be distracted with hearing their name all the time.

Really, really distracted.

They'd probably stop responding after a while....otherwise, they'd probably hurt their necks from turning so often.

Or they'd keep trying to anyway, and end up using the wrong moves.

And then all hell would break loose.
