[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.]

Yes, and that great pink cotton ball is desperately trying to tell us all something. They do have containers, you know.

[a_sin_for_him]

She's not trying to tell anyone anything, she just likes being the center of attention.

I'm not keeping them in those.

[envy_the_sinners]

Then you intend to drag around a small horde of attack animals everywhere you go?

[That's efficient.]

[a_sin_for_him]

How would you like it, if you were kept locked up and tucked away when you weren't being useful?

[envy_the_sinners]

Not permanently. It's like training an animal to go to its pen when it is called. At least when they start becoming difficult to manage.

[a_sin_for_him]

But they're smarter than animals. They have feelings. Punishment isn't an effective training method for anything that understands its own existence.

[...Woman, why are you making this sad?]

They are supposedly comfortable inside them. Mine have never minded, when I take them in when it rains.

[a_sin_for_him]

Do what you want with yours, mine are allowed to roam free.

[envy_the_sinners]

Fine, then you're going to scare people when you start collecting "intimidating" ones.

[a_sin_for_him]

People in this world are well used to all sorts of Pokemon, I'm sure.

[envy_the_sinners]

Fine.

[It's more of a grumble than anything else.]

There are plenty of Pokémon in the Goldenrod area that evolve into larger forms, though. Two of mine do, at least. Teddiursa and Growlithe.

[a_sin_for_him]

I think I'm going to adopt.

[envy_the_sinners]

That would be a good idea.

[The first 100% not backhanded thing he's said this entire conversation...]
