--shit's supposed to record my voice? Why the fuck would I want to leave a message on this thing anyway? They should know who the fuck they're calling if they're calling me in the first place, and obviously I'm not gonna pick up if I don't like them so...
[You have good taste, Naki, because holy crap these things are rad. Jimmy edges a bit closer to the Pokemon as he says that, stopping about a foot away. It's like sitting right next to a campfire, but not quite so intense, somehow.]
I kinda wonder how I'm gonna train it though...I mean, I'm not gonna be able to touch it or anything.
[...]
Though...I know that Ponyta and Rapidash both have fire on them, and if they feel comfortable with you, you can touch them without getting burnt. That's why people can ride on them and stuff. I wonder if that would work with Slugma, too?
[Jimmy had been carrying a Cyndaquil around on his shoulder for several weeks before he evolved, after all, and he never did set him on fire. ...though he did have some close calls.]
[He'll probably have to ask again in two minutes. Sorry!]
Oh yeah, maybe it'll just... I dunno, turn the fire off or whatever it is they do. I mean that thing's like made of fire so I'm not sure how well it'll work. You might wanna try wearing gloves first. Just in case.
[NONSENSE, EIGHT SQUIDS IS CLEARLY AN ACHIEVEMENT...or, well. Seven and wherever the eighth one..went...]
Yeah, it's really good to have so many in the winter time!
[As he talks he reaches into his bag and fishes out a pokepuff, putting it on the floor in front of the Slugma. The Pokemon eyes the pastry curiously for a moment before lowering his head, more...enveloping the thing with it than actually eating it like any other Pokemon might.]
But if you don't have any yet, you should totally try to get one of these guys.
[He probably missed an Inkay, there are just so many of them...]
I've got Bone, she's a Houndoom now. She's kind of a snob so I dunno if she'd ever keep me warm if I needed it. Not that I do, I mean I try to avoid going outside when it's too cold. Unless I really need cake.
[In other words, he's outside a lot.
Naki grins at the Slugma engulfing that puff, laughing loudly for a moment.]
Holy shit, that thing's great! You picked a real winner there!
[Jimmy can't help but laugh too. He can smell the puff burning a bit, so he has to wonder if he actually ate it or absorbed it. Either way he seems pleased, the surface of his lava-like body bubbling away. Lucky, meanwhile, is still very miffed about being poisoned, even moreso now that Jimmy is feeding the culprit.]
Oh, well that's good! I've got a Houndoom too and he's really great.
[Jimmy adjusts the Gear in his hands now that the area is totally clear of smog and things have calmed down a bit, leaning back against the pillar he sat down next to.]
I hope I didn't bother you calling, by the way! I was just exploring this tower and thought you might wanna see this little guy.
Oh no, I wasn't doing anything anyway. I'm glad you called to show me that thing though! It's hilarious!
[He always likes seeing new Pokémon, especially ones that are entertaining. As long as he doesn't get as obsessed with Slugmas as he is with the Inkays we'll be fine!!]
Yeah! I'm sure he'll be really cool if he does evolve! I can't imagine how he could get any cooler but-- oh, wait, not cooler, we don't want him to freeze or anything.
I'm gonna start training him right away and see what happens! I'm sure I could just look it up...but I kinda want it to be a surprise, if he evolves at all.
Yeah, that's the most fun! I didn't look up any of mine. I mean, I probably could, but I've never liked bothering with that kind of shit. Researching and all that. It's boring to me. So I'd rather it be a surprise!
[Also Naki wouldn't know where to start researching...]
Some of mine I knew about cause my friends had already had the Pokemon before, and others I kinda had to look up...like Eevee, yaknow? Since there are so many different evolutions to pick from.
Oh yeah, there's a ton of them! I've never had an Eevee, but I played that Dance Dance Eeveelution game, so I've seen a few of 'em. Which one did you end up going with?
Yeah, it is! They evolve through friendship too, kinda like Umbreon and Espeon. ...I think you actually have to give them a lot of Pokepuffs too, though? I dunno. I got mine after she had already evolved.
What's a Poképuff? Oh wait, are those the things you can buy, like the Inkay Bottles? I guess I'll have to check that out. But at least you didn't have to evolve it! Friendship evolutions sound like they'd be such a pain.
[Jimmy rummages in his bag for a moment, pulling out a tin. He pulls off the lid to show Naki the puffs still inside, handing Lucky one since he gave Toast one and not him.]
These! They aren't too much and all Pokemon really like them. And yeah, they just kinda showed up in a swarm. You know, like how those Munna showed up around Valentine's? And they were already all evolved.
Yeah, prolly not! But I don't think they'd be too hard to evolve, either. It's not all that hard to get a Pokemon to like you...at least, not from what I've seen. They're really powerful too, by the way! Especially against dragon types.

Yeah, I prolly will. It seems friendly though, so that's good. Right...Toast?
[Jimmy asks the Pokemon, grinning as it stares at him for a long moment before blinking, letting out something of a gurgle in response.]
You know, this means I'm gonna have like...eight fire type Pokemon now.
no subject
[NAKI DON'T BRAG ABOUT THAT]
Well, five of 'em are Inkays and the other two are Malamars-- wait, hang on, that's not eight, who am I missing?
[NAKI]
...Well, the point is that that's a lot of Fire-types!
