Video/Action for Violet

Okay, so, I hatched my Christmas egg, no big deal, right?

Well, this freakin' leech comes out of it! It's all slimy and....[he shudders.] eugh...

So here's the weird part. Pokedex says it's pure electric type. Killer moveset too. But why wouldn't it be electric/water? Leeches have to live in the water, I was awake for that biology class so I'm sure of it....

But no, he just floats around in the air. I really don't get this pla- [Danny's cut off as the shiny Tynamo attaches itself to his face with a wet sounding SMACK. The feed cuts out shortly after.]

[fatalissimo]

[...oh, holy shit, ew.]

Just when you think it can't get any weirder, huh?

[nasa_dreams]

....Seriously it's the story of my life.

[fatalissimo]

Your life and a lot of others', kid.

Then again, we didn't all end up with leeches, either.

[nasa_dreams]

Shiny leech to boot.

[fatalissimo]

...So is that what's going on with the weirdly-colored stuff coming out of those eggs? It's just something that happens sometimes?

[nasa_dreams]

Yeah, it's supposed to be rare. I guess it's some kind of Christmas miracle, huh?

[fatalissimo]

...Huh.

[She seems to mull that over for a while.]

I wonder if the god-thing from October gave them to us.

[nasa_dreams]

God-thing? I don't remember hearing about that.

[fatalissimo]

...Yeah, apparently god's a llama. Speaking of "shit can't possibly get any weirder than this."

[nasa_dreams]

Eh, I'm pretty used to weird.

[silentscales]

[Get ready for some more weirdness. There is a scaled man with two sevipers and a purple feebas oh the other end of the feed. For a moment he just looks like he forgot what to say, but then speaks. With three different voices. One while he quotes Gaskell, one while he quotes Ruskin, and one while informing Danny that those are quotes from his pokèmon.]...

I got a fish, says Gaskell.

I still don't know how we're going to train her, says Ruskin.

[nasa_dreams]

[Being used to weird, Snake's preferred speech pattern doesn't phase Danny much.] What moves does it know?

[silentscales]

Splash, says Ruskin.

[nasa_dreams]

Ah. Ok, what you need to do is send it out first, then switch with something stronger. It'll get XP that way.

[silentscales]

XP? [Snake is a GREAT trainer. But not a knowledgeable one in the least.]

[nasa_dreams]

Yeah. Experience points?

[silentscales]

[Snake tilts his head slightly, confused. He has no idea that is what is referring to.]

[nasa_dreams]

Ok, it's what you get when you beat wild Pokemon. That makes your Pokemon stronger.

[silentscales]

We didn't know what that was called, says Gaskell.

... You don't have any books on pokèmon, do you? asks Ruskin.

[nasa_dreams]

No, but most Pokemon Centers do.

[silentscales]

Thank you, says Ruskin.

We have trained a lot, but we don't battle other trainers very much, says Gaskell.

[nasa_dreams]

Yeah, I stick to grinding on wild pokemon a lot too.

[silentscales]

... Grinding? ...says Ruskin? [He has a pretty dark image in his head. Dark and brutal and he looks a little creeped out by it.]

[nasa_dreams]

Yeah! Just beat up a ton of Ratata and Pidgey like all day!

[silentscales]

Oh. Training hard with other pokèmon, says Ruskin.

[nasa_dreams]

Yeah, grinding!

[silentscales]

Why is it called 'grinding'? asks John?

[nasa_dreams]

I dunno. Just is, I guess.
