... Are you sure 'punk' or 'rock' or 'visual kei' isn't some kind of undiscovered type?

[denynamax]

.......I have a Toxtricity with the ability Punk Rock...

[nailedthelook]

That's probably close enough.

So how do you go about training him?

[denynamax]

That one was one hell of an ankle-biter before he evolved... Like taking care of a baby, if newborns had poison sacs. Cried like hell if he wasn't being held all the time, so that was months carryin' him around everywhere... Always spat up his food and pulled my hair. Sometimes I'd fall asleep with'im on my chest and wake up with paralysis.

... That does sound like a rowdy son...

[ This also feels like it explains? Something??? ]

[denynamax]

He calmed down once he got bigger... plays bass in my band now. I don't know if I could hatch another Toxel at my age, though......

[But said like, if there was in fact another egg that needed taking care of, he would roll his sleeves up and become a beleaguered Mom again]

[nailedthelook]

And how old are you?

[ How much energy do baby pokemon have?? ]

[denynamax]

....24.

[he looks, like, ten years older. exhaustion has truly aged him.]

[nailedthelook]

... I guess age really is about how old you feel.

[ Pat pat the tired old mom man. ]

[denynamax]

Well, I was still taking care of my lil sis back then. And working at the Pokemon gym. It's hard jugglin' work and a baby.

[nailedthelook]

Wait like... a literal human baby? Aside from the pokemon one?

[denynamax]

No, baby Pokemon are... well, some Pokemon are fully capable after hatching. But some species have a baby form that still need nurturing before they're able to battle or be independent - like human babies.

[nailedthelook]

[ Pokemon are wild. ]

... Why are only some babies??

[denynamax]

They're mysterious creatures, I guess.

[nailedthelook]

You don't know either, huh?

[denynamax]

I don't think anyone out there knows everything. We're still discovering new phenomenon every year.

[nailedthelook]

Like new kinds of pokemon? Or like weird stuff happening to the ones you know about?

[denynamax]

Both.

[i don't know how to convey that suddenly fairies existed and have always existed but also new pokemon are discovered every year along with new battle gimmicks and--]

At some point it's impossible to keep up...

[nailedthelook]

That sounds so annoyingly tiresome.
