[Normally Naoya wouldn't bother with a post like this, but he's at his wit's end. He's done his best to try to solve it himself, but it's not working... so it's a rather frazzled-looking Naoya who appears on the screen, barely holding on to a very frightened-looking Ralts.]

[The Ralts in question is making tiny squeaking noises and looks like she wants to cry and hide rather than be anywhere in the area. Any Pokémon watching can probably hear her squeaking 'he is a bad and scary man'.]

Most of my Pokémon are rather well behaved. This one, however... doesn't seem to want to be anywhere near me. I haven't done anything to scare her. She just hatched a few days ago.

Has anyone else had problems with a Ralts that... doesn't seem to like them?

[He just... turns the video off. He'll put her back in her Pokeball now because... he doesn't know what else to do.]

[r u sure naoya]

Outside, nah, but how about yer insides? Ralts are... Ah, what's the word... Empaths, there we go.

If there's somethin' wrong with yer mind, then they'll react. They're delicate sorts.

[HE DID NOT KICK THE BABY LEAVE HIM ALONE.]

... 'Wrong' is an interesting way to put it. I'll admit that I don't think like most people, but I don't think there's anything that she should be crying about. I'm not going to hurt her.

Ya don't have ta intend ta hurt her for yer brain ta be scary.

[crouching_sin]

I can't exactly change my brain. Not that easily, anyway.

Well, if ya don't want ta scare the little one, ya might want ta make the effort or else you'll have ta have someone else watchin' over her all the time.

I suppose that's true. Maybe once she realizes I don't mean to harm her she'll calm down.

Got any other psychic types? Or the maternal type?

video;

[crouching_sin]

Not... at all, really. Most of my roster is Dark, Poison, or Ghost types.

...Explains a lot about ya.

[And he's known you for all of two minutes]

[crouching_sin]

Does it?

[He's new, okay.]

[pipers_son]

Yep~. Ya would be amazed at how people end up attracted ta certain types, sometimes...

Although ya should know, dark and ghost types are typically a bit off against psychics, and poison and fairy ain't close friends either, if ya get my drift.

[He means that in more of a metaphorical sense, honestly. God knows his own troupe makes friends however it likes.]

True, though my Shuppet at least seems to be friendly towards her. I suppose maybe because they're both empathic, just focused on different emotions.

[Or maybe it's because Poppet is just that adorable. Who knows?]

[pipers_son]

Well, that's a good thing ta hear, then! Yer Shuppet like ya?

video;

[crouching_sin]

She seems to. Though she seems to also like pillowcases as much, or possibly more.

[Shuppet you are already a spoopy ghost you don't need a pillowcase on top of your pillowcase-looking body.]

[pipers_son]

Well, maybe she can put in a good word for ya.

Hopefully. I'm a little concerned that Alice might get dehydrated from her crying. She's not exactly big...

video;

[pipers_son]

Get her water?

video;

[crouching_sin]

I'm planning on it. Hopefully she'll come around soon...

[pipers_son]

Good luck with it, mate.

Heh. It's appreciated.
