Oh hey, what's up?

[There's a pause, perhaps you should tell him why you called. At least until he interrupts...]

Hey, that's cool, but guess what?!

[Another short pause, perhaps you should guess what is so important that John felt the need to interrupt your surely riveting story.]

I am not actually here right now! So leave me a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can!

[You cannot hope to beat John Egbert in a prank-off. He is simply the best there is.]

Hehehehe...you totally fell for it, didn't you?

[Beep!]

[Oh John, she is honestly the most gullible.]

Uh-huh...well, I already knew to check the 'dex entries for whenever I pick up ghosts...this guy with pink hair warned me about Drifloon and it snowballed from there.

[ghostytrainer]

Oh good, just making sure you were forewarned! Because it can come as a surprise if you aren't expecting it and you wouldn't believe how many people don't check things with the 'dex the minute they get them.

Really it's not just ghosts you should check though, it's everything. For example: did you know that Umbreon sweats poison despite being a dark type and not even half poison? It doesn't even naturally learn any poison type moves.

[soundmind]

...Pokemon are weird.

[Intelligent observations from Ms. Star Pupil over here.]

[ghostytrainer]

Hehe, yeah but it's a good weird! Incidentally, they also make good flashlights. Umbreons, I mean. The spots on their fur light up in the dark it's pretty cool.

[soundmind]

Well--I doubt I'd ever run into an Umbreon, I'd have to get an Eevee for that. But that does sound pretty cool.

[Helios is nice as a flashlight and all, but he's made of fire and fire has a tendency to...um...eat up oxygen.]

[ghostytrainer]

[It would be even cooler if his Umbreon wasn't a jackass. He would use him as a flashlight basically all the time, otherwise.]

You're not planning on getting an Eevee? That's something you don't hear a lot. I'm pretty sure it's the most popular Pokémon. Seems like everyone has at least one...Rose has eight. Or had, technically. They have all evolved now.

[soundmind]

There haven't really been opportunities to get one...and as it is, I'm already taking care of quite a few baby Pokemon.

[ghostytrainer]

Color me surprised about that. But you're right, it's better not to pile too many babies on yourself at once. Lovable and adorable though they are...
