[ Jean's normally spiky/fluffy haircut is even spikier today, if that's possible. The culprit? His baby mareep, which has decided to perch itself on his fluffy head. Babies are tiny, ok. And also full of static. ]

So the egg hatched the other day. You wouldn't believe what a pain it is to keep an electric-type from friggin' waking you up all the time when you've got feathers. This dumb mareep won't stop messing with my wings! But ma' likes her a lot, I guess, so we've been keeping her at home. Personally, I think she just wants free wool. (Don't let her know I said that.)

Anyway I guess I'll add my two cents in saying this tournament stuff is bullshit. But it beats getting attacked by weird machines so whatever, y'know? As long as they don't pull that shit again, who cares?

[ Pause............ ]

Oh, and I joined the Rangers, I guess. You can blame friggin' Eren and his dumb face. I know this shit ain't my journal or whatever but I've been kinda busy so I figured I owed some of you guys an update.

Still sucks that I couldn't get into the Swords, though.

............ It's a long story. [Involving some of his coworkers and a poor baby Larvitar.]

A-Anyway, um.. [Orgionally, Bertholdt had wanted the subject to be about Jean's mareep but that almost seemed to childish to bring up first with a coworker..] m-make sure to let your mareep graze.

Oh?

[ Oh, that's... sweet. The way to Jean's heart is with his pokemon. ]

Thanks, I'll remember that. We got some room in the yard, but when she gets older she'll need someplace else, huh?

[ He turns to his Mareep. ]

You wanna go outside later, Milly?

[That's.. so sweet!

Any human that's willing to care for their family is worth even just a little of Bertholdt's time. Maybe Jean wasn't such an asshole.. best not speak to soon but--]

I-I'm sure she'd like it if you took her out during the next thunderstorm. Mareep store electricity in their wool, it's the healthiest way for them to recharge.

Oh woah, I had no idea. Never woulda thought of that...

[ Jean's never an asshole to Pokemon, at least. ]

You're like the poke-whisperer, Bertl. How do you know all this stuff?

I-I wouldn't call myself that, I just.. like them I suppose. [When pokemon where the creatures that raised you, you tend to favor them.]

I'm always happy.. to try and help.. Um, do you need to know anything else about mareep? They will double in size the more electricity they gather. Make sure if you're going to sheer your mareep to wear rubber gloves... They like a good haircut in the summer but any other time they might need a sweater till their wool grows back.

Hmmm, okay. So when the winter's over I'll have to think about that...

[ Don't mind him, he's just taking notes. ]

I should write some of this down for my mom, she's gonna take care of Milly while I'm out at work, anyway.

Mareep are fairly easy to careful comparatively to other breeds.. and they evolve quickly if you give them battle experience just remember that if you're keeping one for sherring.. and their diets are best just kept to grazing.

[ Bertholdt is a smart cookie when it comes to pokemon... ]

Guess they're kinda more on the farm side of pokemon than pets...

[ Shame... ]

Yeah, they are rarely pets.. but I wouldn't count your Mareep out of training. They have hearts of warriors..

Oh, cool. I guess she's the first electric-type I've bonded with, so she could make a good addition to my team. But I'm not super huge on the batting thing.

They are some of the most useful pokemon known to man.. amazing fluffy little creatures.. [He pauses.] Ah.. neither am I, but my Scraggy seems to be so interested in fighting.. so I've had to research it for her sake.

[ Jean starts petting Milly-- it makes his hair stand on end, but he doesn't notice. ]

Hmmm, I guess I'll have to ask if anybody's into it. I get the feeling Apollo'll go along with whatever, but my Klefki seems like the type who might wanna give it a go.

..... [Interesting, it's hard for Bertholdt to imagine but seeing another human being so open to communicating with his Pokemon..] Klefki's are very interesting.. How did you stumble upon one?

Ah, it was during the earthquakes. I was helping somebody who was helping a Houndour. Then we kinda ducked out of the way to check on the Houdour's leg, and that Klefki had picked that spot already. She got all pissy or something, but I didn't take her crap so eventually I bonded with her so she'd get that I wasn't all up in her business just 'cause I was bein' an ass or whatever.

They have been known to be um... primadonnas. [That seems.. nice, another person helping out Pokemon like that. Jean seemed like an asshole but he wasn't so bad deep down..]

Yeah, that sounds about right.
