[Lust looks less than pleased and bordering on frustrated. Behind her can be seen a slinky Glameow teasing a perplexed looking Spheal, rubbing affectionately against the rounder Pokemon and then swatting him at random. A Jigglypuff keeps attempting to push its way onscreen, in front of Lust. She pushes Chanteuse away every few moments, with less and less gentle delicacy each time.]

Does anywhere know where to find any intimidating looking Pokemon? I have a children's carnival act following me everywhere I go now.

[It's ridiculous.]

Not that I don't appreciate them all, of course. [Another firm to shove to keep her Jigglypuff from blocking her] But I'd like to have something a bit more imposing to throw out in battle.

Or imposing at all.

[Forget philosophy and musings on the nature of her existence for a moment, she just wants anything that doesn't look like a stuffed animal come to life.]

Once you know what they're capable of, they're plenty intimidating. It's the soulless eyes that do it.

[a_sin_for_him]

Chanteuse doesn't have soulless eyes! That's a terrible thing to say.

[no_ufo_ending]

I don't think I've seen a Jigglypuff blink...ever. And they don't even have bodies...they're just. Heads. With arms and feet. Where are all their organs? What do their skeletons even look like?

[a_sin_for_him]

Just because they have a different sort of biology doesn't mean they're soulless.

[no_ufo_ending]

Maybe not, but they sure are intimidating.

_{[Henry, just go away. Not everybody understands your Jigglytrauma.]}

[a_sin_for_him]

Perhaps in your delusional world.

I heard there's an adoption center in Goldenrod. Somebody might have left a scary-looking Pokemon there.

[a_sin_for_him]

An adoption center? Hmm.

[no_ufo_ending]

Sometimes they people who disappear leave pokemon behind that don't go to a friend, they wind up there instead of the wild or...wherever it is they go.

[a_sin_for_him]

That's rather sad.

[no_ufo_ending]

Yeah... I hope if I ever disappear mine go to somebody who will travel with them.

[a_sin_for_him]

Does it happen often? People disappearing?

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry hesitates, then nods slowly.]}

Yeah...My friend and I lost somebody very recently. Sometimes they come back but...most of the time they don't.

[a_sin_for_him]

I think I'm going to take your suggestion. About adopting a Pokemon.

[no_ufo_ending]

I think a friend of ours used to work there and they said good things about it so...good luck finding something even scarier than a Jigglypuff.

_{[Henry, shut up.]}
