[You get a mildly interesting sight, vatheon; Cynthia with her hair up in a ponytail, casual clothes on, and a Gible in her lap. The gible is gnawing on a melon that's about the perfect size for its mouth.]So! There are some new trainers out there that are raising baby pokemon. I thought it would be a good idea to talk about making sure they're

[brbstealingpknm]

Alright.

[Pause, then...] There were Eevee's given out, too, by Lyra.

[secretpotion]

Bring all of your grooming tools.

Ah, that's right! I've been speaking with a few of the owners about things they can do for the development of their baby pokemon.

[brbstealingpknm]

Understood. [Sob. Tools that he hasn't used since he got them.] I need to stop by the clinic though. I doubt Gold feed Golbat properly. [Lineface forever and properly meaning how Silver feeds the bloodsucking bat.]

What else is there to do other than make 'em fight to toughen them up?

[secretpotion]

Oh, none of that, I'll show you what Golbat's diet should be.

There's a lot to do! You don't want their instincts to dull, so you have to play with them to teach them those basic skills they would learn in the wild.

[brbstealingpknm]

... Very well.

.. Hmph. Battling does that fine.

[secretpotion]

You'll want to feed him a very iron-rich diet, with a lot of protein. There's a recipe especially designed for it. I'm going to teach you how to make it. And how to make food for all of your pokemon.

"Fine", but not the best. That is what you want, isn't it?

action spamy or log ?

[brbstealingpknm]

Yea. [:| But gdi he can't argue with that.]

I'll be there shortly.

Action!

[secretpotion]

[And she'll be waiting! She has Garchomp out and is carefully filing the dragon's claws.]

Action!

[brbstealingpknm]

[Soon enough, he arrives, bag in hand - filled with his grooming tools and a note pad for notes. Ironically, his jackets around his waist so it's just a plain blank tee, today.

There is a questioning look in his eyes at the filing of the pokemon's claws. What...] Why would you do that?

Action!

[secretpotion]

If they get too big, they'll grow incorrectly. Ever had a hangnail? It hurts like the dickens!

[She smiles. The claws are still pointed and certainly could cause damage, but they're groomed.]

So! We're starting with who?

Re: Action!

[brbstealingpknm]

Makes sense then.

Golbat. He needs to be fed anyway. [And out comes a rather grumpy looking bat, who hisses at Silver, as if to say where's his food. Silver only growls.] Blame her not me, moron.

[secretpotion]

[You're getting a sweet and friendly greeting as per usual, Golbat.]

Hello there, sweetie. Are you hungry? I've got special food for you~

[She takes out a tupperware, opening it up. Inside is a beefy pet food, though a heavy iron smell wafts from the meal. As well as a few other subtle herbal accents meant to make it even tastier.]

I bet you'll feel much more full after this. Let me know how my cooking is; you should feel special, I don't usually make boys dinner.

[Giggle giggle. And preemptively ignoring any complaints on your end, Silver, as she puts the food on the lid and sets it down for Golbat to eat.]

[brbstealingpknm]

[And as soon as that foods there, there is one hungry bat gobbling it down, Silver linefacing, of course, but letting his pokemon eat in peace. He learned from experience not to get between a 'mon and it's food.

Obviously, the Golbat likes it - he wouldn't be scarffing it down otherwise.]

..Can't say that I have seen him eat that fast for... a while. [...Silver, you starting to slowly understand your pokemon do have genders? Or you just using him as Cynthia did?]

[secretpotion]

It's very easy to cook, too. You could make a single batch that will last a week if you keep it properly. Which shouldn't be so hard, since you're not traveling. This food will give him plenty of energy, which means he can train for longer periods of time.

Do you have a soft-bristle brush?

[brbstealingpknm]

I'll have to get the recipe then. Is it only for the Golbat or? [There's only the faintest hint of a smile - the thought of being able to train his pokemon for longer before the thing's useless is very pleasing, especially for someone like Silver, who only cares for the strongest pokemon. So it's worth the effort, he figures. And so far, he's picked up a few things he otherwise wouldn't have known, so it's not a bad trade off.]

Yea. [Digging into the bag and -- brush, get! ... Brush that he hasn't used. Opps?]

[secretpotion]

You can take the same base for the food and just add different ingredients for each pokemon.

Yes, that one! Once golbat's done, you should brush him slowly and gently. It'll get anything tangled out of his fur, clean it up, and will be better for him.

Your pokemon are your partners, your coworkers, and eventually, your comrades. They take care of you, so you need to take care of them.
