SECOND ERRAND ➣ VIDEO

[deaftly]

[Normally Naki wouldn't bother posting a video to the whole network about something like this, but he's been trapped inside for far too long due to the hail and he's bored. So here we are.

The room behind Naki is exceptionally plain, without any sort of interesting features at all. Naki is slightly more interesting, if only because he's leering at the 'Gear in a way that definitely can't mean anything good. He's wearing the usual suit and overall there's nothing different about him. The interesting part of the video are the six Inkays at his feet. That's right. Six. Oh wait, one of them has a serious case of Ditto-face, but the other five look like normal Inkays.]

Alright, listen up! I'm going to show you guys something really fucking cool!

[And with that, Naki pulls out a bottle. It really isn't all that remarkable, but he turns it to reveal a cute Inkay sticker in the middle.]

This is an Inkay Bottle. I guess it's not as common knowledge as I thought it was, but this is how you evolve these fuckers!

[He nudges one of the Inkays with his foot, not hard enough to hurt it. It squeaks in response.]

So! Today I'm gonna evolve these things!

[He reaches down and picks up the Ditto-faced one, apparently not realizing that it's in fact a Ditto, then pops open the bottle and proceeds to stuff the Ditto-squid inside. That bottle really doesn't look big enough for a squid to fit into, but here we go.]

Okay, so once you've got 'em inside, then you turn it around like so-- [Naki spins the bottle around a few times and pops off the lid.] --And here we go--!

[...Well, whatever he was expecting, it wasn't a blue Ditto oozing out of the bottle and falling into a very dizzy puddle on the ground.]

What the fuck-- Goddammit, Copy!! I told you to sit over there, out of the way! Fucking hell, you've ruined everything!

[Naki proceeds to reach down and grab the poor Pokémon, only for it to try to wriggle free. One of the five Inkays apparently decides that this is enough stupid for one day and reaches up to turn off the 'Gear.]

Ah... yes, actually, it is a bit entertaining. Of course, the average trainers are really easy pickings, aren't they...? It's good for a lark, I suppose.

[deaftly]

Lark? Is that some kind of bird?

[He definitely misheard that...]

But yeah, they're not really much fun, honestly. When they actually have more than two Pokémon they just... suck.

[enjoymyatelier]

Well, yes, but it's also a figure of speech.

Ah, you fought someone with six Magikarp, didn't you... what even is the point, I wonder?

[deaftly]

I have no idea. I mean I guess you could just beat stuff with 'em until they evolve, but six of 'em? Fuck, I could barely raise one and it still took me forever!

[enjoymyatelier]

I've never even bothered, personally. Even after you put thee work in, there are still far better Pokemon you could be using than Gyarados. It's powerful, but so are other things that don't make you want to bang your head through a wall.

[deaftly]

Oh yeah, like what? Magikarp's the one I started with, so...

[Well, actually it was a Cubone, but he's figured out that having two starters is abnormal.]

[enjoymyatelier]

...

[hang on, he just needs to address this real quick]

I'm so sorry. My starter was a Ditto, which isn't much better, but that's just... you must have had a terrible time actually getting going.

[deaftly]

Eh, not really. I just smacked things into unconsciousness then caught a few.

[It's not a lie! Though he did have a Cubone for backup and he also didn't start in New Bark Town, so...]

Dittos are great though! I got one from that egg we got around Christmas.

[enjoymyatelier]

....ah, well, that's not as bad as it could be, I suppose. I guess if you really have to, you could just use your fists...

And Ditto do have their uses, I will admit that. However... they're not very good when they're the only Pokemon you have, particularly if they appear to be below average to begin with.
