if it ain't broke; break it

New badge, new pokémon, new questions.

First of all, does Whitney always pitch a fit when she gets beaten? For a second there I thought I really hurt her feelings- it was fraggin' awkward. Got the badge once I finally got her to turn off the waterworks, though.

Second of all, and this is the big one- what the frag is this?

[ The camera pans down to reveal... this thing!


It could be an egg, except it's too large to be one, and it clearly has eyes, even if they're closed. Cliff nudges it with a foot, and the thing wobbles a bit before falling still again. Rascal the Electrike cautiously sniffs at it, and bats at it with a paw. The thing wobbles, but doesn't fall. Rascal barks, but it doesn't respond.

So the Electrike tackles it, but it still doesn't fall. Just rolls with the impact and rights itself easily, wobbling a bit. ]

Rascal, stop it.

I think it came out of that egg I got, but I'll be damned if I know that it is.

[ He goes to nudge it with his foot again, but suddenly it springs to life!


A pair of arms and legs come out of nowhere, and the pokémon launches itself at Cliff's leg ]

Primus!

[ Cliff drops the 'gear, and the feed ends when it hits the ground. Anyone around Goldenrod will find Cliffjumper with a Darumaka clinging to his leg. ]
