[The video that suddenly pops up shows part of a tree and a bit of grass at first. Then a large Spheal fills the picture.

A Spheal in smoky eye shadow and as much lips as Lust managed to draw on with liner and lipstick. He looks immensely pleased with himself, and greets the viewing audience at large with a long, low, happy sounding 'spheeeaaaaaal' as he shows off the fancy face paint his trainer has been kind enough to let him wear again.

It takes all of a handful of seconds before Lust realizes what Guttle's up to, and she rushes in to grab her gear. She image shifts and wobbles for a moment before Lust's own face is visible.]

Guttle, what are you doing? Is this on?

[Yes. Yes it is. Her gaze shifts off screen, to give Guttle an exasperated look.]

And broadcasting to everyone, I see. I hope you're happy with yourself.

[Back to the screen.]

Don't anyone encourage him.

You don't have to deal with him begging you to make him up in the morning.

I demonstrated on him once and now he wants me to do it all the time!

[pipers_son]

Heh, suppose not.

[...He has the opposite problem, actually, since Angel does a lot of his makeup nowadays.]

Thought about teachin' one of yer other Pokemon how ta do it for him?

[a_sin_for_him]

I suppose I could try... Chanteuse might be able to.

[Virago certainly wouldn't.]

I admit I've toyed with the idea of teaching them helpful tasks.

[pipers_son]

There ya go~. Some of 'em really get a knack for this kinda thing, I have ta say.

[a_sin_for_him]

Yes, I spoke to a woman who'd taught hers to cook, once.

[pipers_son]

I think just about anythin' ya can think of, Pokemon can do it as well as a human can. They're clever like that.

[a_sin_for_him]

They really are as clever as any person.

[pipers_son]

Mhm. That's why I like ta see what they can really do. Battlin' is all well and good, don't get me wrong, but there's a lot more opportunities for 'em when ya think about it!

[a_sin_for_him]

I honestly don't battle as much as most trainers do. It seems a bit silly to me, to focus on that.

[pipers_son]

S'the way of the world. It's what the locals here are so focused on, and some folks get swept up in it. Gotta be strong enough ta battle the gym leaders, or if yer a breeder- get 'em stronger so the eggs are popular.

[a_sin_for_him]

I suppose I'm just in no hurry to take on any gym leaders. We'll get there at some point, I'm not about to push myself over it.

[pipers_son]

Good luck~. I can't say for the ones in Kanto, but the ones here in Johto ain't too hard.

[...Then again he did space out and ended up taking out like two gyms with overleveled Pokemon because he got caught up in circus things but oh well.]

[a_sin_for_him]

Thank you. I have heard that some aren't too difficult.

[pipers_son]

Some get really inta it, strategies and type advantages, all that sorta thing. But I've found that ya can wing it just as well so long as yer Pokemon aren't too low level.
