[action: goldenrod restaurant, may 6]
[That afternoon, Scar can be found looking particularly sorry for himself. Sure, he's usually bitter and angry and unapproachable... But right now, he's just plain miserable.

He's been hanging around in Goldenrod since before the carnival, lingering by the breeding center as his Skitty egg incubates. If something manages to go wrong, he wants be near people who know what they're doing. At the moment, though, he's sitting at the table of a small, outdoor restaurant, talking into his Pokégear.]

...Yeah.

[He closes it and sets it aside. His Zangoose and Teddiursa are both sitting with him, looking concerned. Yaminah, the Teddiursa, jumps into his lap, and he reaches to pat her on the head. Things really are much more bearable, with them around.]

[voice, may 7]
[Scar is in an unusually good mood, and it's obvious in his voice to anyone who's already spoken the guy for any length of time. This is a huge change from yesterday. His Skitty has just hatched (FINALLY) and he's... excited about it. Or, at least, as excited as Scar ever gets about anything.

He does need some advice, though.]

I'm assuming hand-raising a Pokémon is different from training one that was caught from the wild.

[The soft mews of the young Skitty can be heard in the background.]

How much constant attention and care does a baby Pokémon require, exactly? Is it more similar to raising a dog?

[A valid question, Scar thinks, given the obvious intelligence of Pokémon. The way they bond and how they communicate is almost frighteningly human.]

[action: goldenrod public area, may 7]
[In a much better mood than yesterday, Scar can be found with his three Pokémon, Miriam the Skitty being the newest addition to the team. The baby Pokémon is slightly unsteady on her feet, and just figuring out her attacks. She's working with Zangoose and Teddiursa, chattering and playing and occasionally breaking for naps and food

...And frequently running off to greet strangers and collect flowers.]

Interesting...

[There's a brief pause, as Skitty is currently hopping into Scar's lap.]

She seems very attached already. And has a particular liking for flowers...

[It's better than being gifted with dead rodents, he supposes.]

Attached to you, you mean? That's a good sign, especially if she just hatched. If they don't like you, it only makes things more difficult on you as a trainer.

[Flowers smell nicer than dead rodents, it's true.]

Couldn't begin to tell you what flowers could mean though. What is it? Some kinda grass dog?

[...look, Scar asked about taking care of dogs, okay? So Kuzuryuu's assuming he's dealing with a Pokémon dog here.]

No, she's a Skitty. More of a bright pink, unnatural looking cat.

[Really, the pink is weird. What gain could a Pokémon ever attain through being pink?]

Heh, you say that like a lot of them aren't unnaturally colored for what they are. Still though, I guess that's something you don't see every day.

Of course not, but some resemble animals from my home more than others. And although she does resemble a cat...

[Yeah. Cats aren't pink.]
