Hello... you've reached Chihiro Fujisaki. I apologize for missing you, but, um... please leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

[Shiro came inside a pokeball too, now that he thinks about it. But Komasan just assumed those were, like, little Pokemon houses. That fit into your pocket.

Woah, wait.

Pocket Monsters????]

So I can use pokeballs and get any Pokemon I see, zura? They...they don't mind, do they, zura?

[As an adorable anime monster himself, that kind of seems like...kidnapping.]

Wild Pokemon don't. Trainers catch them often...you just can't catch a Pokemon that already belongs to someone else.

[Because that would be stealing, and stealing is wrong.]

Some Pokemon might be a little less receptive to it than others...it really depends on the Pokemon. But catching them is normal around here.

I just don't wanna separate any families, zura...

[He lowers his head and begins to wring his hands as just about EVERY SCENARIO plays out in his mind.

What if he takes a mama away from its baby?! O-Or takes someone's brother. Their brother! He couldn't do that, he'd have to take all of them! And even then, that's no good because he'll be drowning in pokeballs! Not to mention, he only has five, what if he finds a family of six and-]

Zurazurazurazurazurazurazurazurazurazurazurazurazura...

[...oh dear.]

Ah...Komasan-chan? Are you alright..?

Ah!

[He snaps out of it, throwing a hand behind his head and rubbing it nervously.]

S-Sorry, I got worried, zura. I'll...I'll try to only catch Pokemon that look like they're all alone, zura.

[That way he knows they could use a buddy.]

You don't have to catch Pokemon unless you really want to. But it is okay. It is a bit strange to get used to, I understand...

[But Pokemon of all species are pretty independent, even right after they hatch.]

Hm...

[He ponders about it for a good second, smiling when he comes to a conclusion.]

No...I think I still want to catch Pokemon, zura. Heh, I-I just hope I can find my own komainu like Hogosha someday, zura.

[Because let's be real, he's going to be sad to see him go.]

Do you? Well, you can catch Growlithe on the route right before Goldenrod. I could always breed you one too, if you would prefer that.

[It would have a lot more moves for sure, but it doesn't matter either way, ultimately. Depends on what Komasan would prefer.]

[He blinks. Golly, there sure are a lot of ways to obtain Pokemon.]

"Breed?" ...What does "breed" mean, zura?

[...UHHH.]

Breeding...some trainers are breeders when they arrive. It means that you can breed Pokemon with one another to produce eggs.

[He keeps saying that word, but nothing is clicking. Komasan at least knows what an egg is.]

...You mean like a chicken, zura?

S...sortof, yes!

[/howcouldthishappentome.mp3]

[...Chihiro must not like chickens, because he is acting way too strange.]

O-Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, zura!

...B-But how do they make eggs if they aren't...chickens, zura?

[See, he whispered it this time, it shouldn't startle Chihiro as much.]

We...don't know exactly how it happens, actually.

[Yep.]

Most breeders just accept the fact that it does...trying to figure out how hasn't really worked out, before.

But what if-

[Before Komasan can make things any more awkward, someone calls him from off screen. It's hard to make out, but considering where he is, it's probably the nurse.]

Ah! It looks like the checkup is all done, zura! I-I better get going now, zura!

[Chihiro sags a little with relief, but he manages to put himself back together pretty fast while Komasan's attention is distracted by the nurse.]

Ah, alright. Be safe traveling, okay? If you need to call me, I'll be around any time.

I will, I promise, zura! Sweet dreams, Chihiro, zura~

[And with that, he grabs his hard hat and plops it back on his head before ending the feed.]
