Second Rap [Video/Action in Ecruteak]

[When Dirk turns on his Pokegear, he’s leaning against a wall somewhere, bundled up in his ridiculous Christmas sweater. Maybe it’s hard to tell thanks to his habit of wearing sunglasses all the time, but to those who know him, he might seem kind of tired.]

A word of advice for future Christmases. If you’re planning on getting your friend an egg, first figure out how many of their other friends are giving them eggs too. Otherwise, they might have five eggs hatch on the same day.

[At this point, Dirk turns the SFC around to show a collection of baby pokemon at his feet, including a Ralts, Charmander, Houndour, Feebas, and Ponyta. As soon as Dirk’s attention is directed to them, they all start clamoring for attention.]

Anyone else have the same problem?

What, no multitasking ability? I'm disappointed.

[... Okay, he's actually not as good at multitasking as he would like to think he is, but still, he does it.]

I could multitask if I wanted to, but then my Pokemon wouldn't get nearly as strong as if I'd dedicated my time solely to them. I'm sorry if it disappoints you that I'd like to be able to kick some ass while I'm here.

[Neither of them are probably as good as they'd like to think they are at it, but he's tempted to try just to prove a point.]

[They are bad influences on one another.]

It disappoints me that you aren't capable of both kicking ass and learning about the place at the same time. Surely you can do better, especially if you're an older version of me.

[They really are. Because that temptation is turning into determination to actually do it.]

Alright fine, I will. Because I can if I wanted to. It just wasn't much of a priority, but now I'm gonna prove to you that I can.

[So there. Suck it.]

Be my guest. Maybe we can share notes sometime.

[Bro, you're supposed to be the more mature, levelheaded one here. What happened.]

I look forward to that day.

[He met his younger self, that's what happened. Dirk pushes his buttons like no one else. It's almost like Bro doesn't want Dirk to find him disappointing, or something.]
