Second Rap [Video/Action in Ecruteak]

[shippingmath]

[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?

Oh, don't be like that to him, I'm sure he'll turn out to be a great Pokemon. And if you're so concerned with what he can or can't do, then get the thing that's needed to evolve him.

[Jake can deal with a climbing Ralts. He hopes.]

[shippingmath]

Turn out to be doesn't mean he's the best right now. I have no intention of letting him stay useless.

[Jake should probably feel sorry for this Feebas.]

[Action]

[hoperaider]

[He is. He feels for it so much that he goes over to pick it up and comfort it. Don't listen to Dirk, you poor fellow.]

Ouch. You realize you're saying that to a Pokemon you named after me, right?

[Action]

[shippingmath]

Well, I didn't let you stay useless either, did I? Or untrained, at least.

[He appreciates his pokemon, really. And Jake. Somewhere in his heart.]

[Action]

[hoperaider]

I don't think I was "useless" to begin with.

[God, Dirk, so abusive to your best friends.]

[Action]

[shippingmath]

Not entirely. You survived on an island full of monsters, that gets some points.

[Action]

[hoperaider]

Well, Feebas isn't entirely useless, either! I mean, it can learn some TM and HM moves, unlike Magikarp.

[Action]

[shippingmath]

Well, there we go. A perfect comparison.

[Just wait until it evolves.]
