prank #18 | video/action for route 34

[So it's what...2 in the morning? Yeah, some retarded time like that. Very, very late at night when people (especially growing thirteen year old boys) should be asleep and dreaming and definitely not in the middle of patches of grass right outside of Goldenrod City.]

[Unfortunately, that's where John is tonight. Why? Because his Eevee somehow just knew that tonight was the night for evolution. So that meant that they had to go outside and train RIGHT. NOW.]

[And so they did. Or well...Lestat did. John just tried his hardest not to fall back asleep.]

[At some point all of Lestat's hard work paid off, because when the feed clicks on it's to a very excited John sitting in the middle of the grass hugging an extremely wriggly and irritable-looking Umbreon.]


I knew you liked me! I knew it! Haha, you can't hide it from me anymore, Lestat. You couldn't have evolved unless I made you hap--EEOOOWW!!!

[Seems Lestat decided that that was enough gushing out of the boy for one night and that the perfect way to get him to shut up was to sink his teeth into the boy's left shoulder. Hard.]

[The feed clicks off as Casey abandons the 'gear in favor of pulling the two apart.]

Hehe, basically, yeah! And that...actually makes a lot of sense. I hadn't really thought about it. But I guess that's what must have happened. Interesting.

Of course, if your pokémon heard that, he might bite you again.

Heh, he doesn't need an excuse to bite me. It's kind of his thing. I've been his favorite chew toy since the day he hatched. Though he seems to be better at it now. Which is to say, worse for me.

He's been biting you more since then? [Amused.] How about training him not to? I'm sure it's possible.

video; laaaate, sorry.

I would...if I knew how to do that. I've asked him to stop, but that doesn't seem to work. I even said please!

[He is thirteen and how do you discipline pokemon?]

video; no worries!

Maybe you're not being authoritative enough. If you give them a passive vibe, animals are likely to bully you into submission.

[Curse his passivity.]

Oh. That...makes sense. I never had a pet back home so I'm not exactly the best with animals. I guess I could being...what? More firm with him? Ask more confidently?

Being firm is a good start. Just make sure you're not being aggressive or hostile, there's a difference there. If you're too aggressive, they'll fight back.
