[The Pokegear snaps on, and Dick, in a nice waiter's shirt, slumps down against a wall and sighs.]

So this is, uh, ridiculously embarrassing.

[His hair's slicked back, too, and he's loosening a little bow tie with his other hand. Tugging at it with a little more force than strictly necessary.]

Exactly, um. Does anyone have any tips for how to... like, not go broke? How do people keep track of money? How do you not run out?

I plead lack of maturity, lack of understanding of the value of a... whatever the unit of currency is here, I don't even know.

And yeah, okay, if you all want a good laugh at my expense, my foster father is a billionaire, both through inheritance and being the CEO of a worldwide corporation. Go ahead, I've heard all the rich kid jokes and I don't really care, I'd just be grateful, in return, for a little--

[There's a voice yelling in the distance, something about not being paid to take breaks; Dick jumps up and shuts off the feed immediately. He does have a work ethic, okay, he was a circus performer until he was nine, but that money was all put in the bank.]

This place really invites the nomad life. I mean, unless you watch for eggs obsessively [g-u-i-l-t-y] on the network, you're kind of stuck with the local Pokemon. Not exactly that much variety.

There's the Breeding Centre, but if you want a specific Pokemon and they don't have it, you gotta search for it yourself.

Not that I'm complaining, since I can travel around and no one would think it's weird.

Yeah. Even before this happened, I wanted to get settled in and ready to go before adventuring, though. I'm just a little cautious, I guess.

Being cautious isn't a bad thing, just as long you don't forget to enjoy yourself.

Never in danger of that. I have a dinosaur who spits fire with me at all times.

Lemme guess, you got a Charmander as your starter?

No, I got Caroline as an egg. My starter is Taillow, but Carrie's a close second.

Man, one guess and I got it wrong. But I was close enough. I take it Carrie just like to have fun with you?

Yeah, when she's not cowering in fear of water fountains. It's more that she likes people to understand she's the baby. Even though she's not, anymore.

Either she likes the attention, or needs to grow up a little more.

Or C) All of the above.

But sometimes it's cute, you know? That she's frightened of little things. Frustrating, because I have no idea how to deal with it, but still a little cute.

That's a valid option.

Just show her that she's not alone, and she'll eventually get over it. Even if it may take a while.

I'm trying. She gets picked up and carried a lot. Possibly feeding jealousy, but I don't like the look of the PC.

I mean, that could be irrational, since they're already in Pokeballs. You can tell me it's irrational.

Just keep at it, and it'll pays off in the long run. A pretty long, long run at this rate.

That depends on how you look at it, if you ask me. If they're with us, you can let them out of their Pokeballs whenever you want.

Personal experience or does it just look that hopeless for me?

Yeah. It just sounds lonely otherwise. If they could socialize among themselves in there, I think that'd be okay.

Maybe a bit of personal experience, except mine doesn't think she's still a baby. She's just...clingy.

You could always ask them about that.

Maybe Carrie'll graduate to clingy. I can hope, right?

First I'd have to put them there.

Yep, you can hope for that! Then you'll just have to see what's next after clingy.

I switch around my own roster from time to time, so I can ask my team about it.

I'm guessing teenage rebellion. As revenge for not appreciating "baby" and "clingy."

I'm not quite that big yet, but almost.

Oooh, that'll be rough! The woes of being a PokeDad.

Just keep an eye on your roster. Before you know it, you find yourself with many Pokemon to take care of.

As long as she stays away from boys, I'm sure I'll manage.

...for that every reason, yeah. [He laughs.]

Then you better keep an eye on her. She might sneak off and bring back surprise eggs.

I live in fear of it! Looks like a common occurrence.

Seems so, and I'm just waiting for my team to dump a batch on me. Which isn't bad for some quick money, but it's still surprise eggs!

Unless you end up with Pidgeys or something else really common. I guess lazy people like me would go for it, though.
