Video

[Unlike most of Squid Girl's videos, this one has a far more serious bent to it. This is perhaps immediately obvious when the feed clicks on to show her with ripped up clothing, missing half of a few tentacles, and bleeding from a few places. She's clearly on the beach near the south of Union as she stumbles along, and anyone who looks closely will notice that her wounds appear to be from a few well-placed shark bites. Anyone who looks really closely will be able to see a Sharpedo fin moving ominously back and forth in the water in the background.]

U-um... what do you do when one of your Pokemon tries to eat you?

[What the blazes?]

Get medical help and call the Habitat or someone because that is a dangerous Pokémon, since I don't think you provoked it. I've never heard of a Pokémon attacking a human like that.

I'm not a human!

[She apparently still has enough energy to make that correction.]

--oh, sorry. Either way, I'd call someone.

You're someone.

A professional someone who knows more about Pokémon behavior than I do.

Why? I know why Chompy did that.

Why did he attack you?

Sharpedo and Malamar are natural enemies. Don't you even know that much?

I didn't realize you were a Malamar shifter.

[A pause]

Why do you have a Sharpedo?

'Cause my Carvanha evolved.

Why did you have a Carvanha if you knew it would evolve into something that wants to eat you?

Because I didn't know! It just kept staring at me all the time! I thought it'd stay squiddle like Snack Pack.

[...how can you be a shifter and not know that Pokémon evolve?]

You might want to see if someone will trade with you and take the Sharpedo so you're safe, then.

[She just didn't know about that one!]

Yeah, but...

If he's dangerous to you and will just try to attack you, you really shouldn't have him. Neither of you will be very happy.

But what if I can train him! He could tell other Sharpedo to leave me alone!

It's possible, but I wouldn't risk it. Sharpedo can be very dangerous, after all.

What if I beat him up in a fair fight? Then he'll have to listen!

Not always. He may take it as permission to try and eat you again.

Then that's a risk I'll have to take.
