[Hey, Doppio, how do you like getting gifts???

It's wrapped in some green wrapping paper with garland and baubles and your normal Christmas nonsense. And is just. Box in a box in a box in a box until you're ten boxes in deep and finally get to five different boxes that actually have things in it.

There's also a note before those boxes that's written in pretty nice hand, oddly.]


Merry Christmas or whatever you celebrate.

Enjoy your shenanigans!

From your Secret Santa

[There's no other notes or a name on there.

In the boxes, however, one of them is an album of what is very, very professionally taken dragon butts. Primarily ones of kingdra, appletun, hydreigon, kommo-o, tyrantrum, and a shiny salamence.

The other boxes contain a nice pair of glasses, a pokegear case, and a t-shirt that somehow is the correct size.]

[It takes a little while after Dimitri's battle for him to, uh, remember that he meant to pass on his encounter with the Ecruteak gym. In his defense, everything happens so much.]

[Which is part of why this is text. The other part is that Dimitri knows this makes it easier to study.]


I apologize it has taken some time to get back to you on the matter of Ecruteak's gym. This month has decided to finish with quite a bit happening on my end. However, I just recently was victorious in my own challenge, and so can fulfill my promise.

Morty's three Pokemon for his average team are a Haunter, a Misdreavus, and a Gengar. This encounter has taught me that the status abilities of such creatures are the biggest challenge when fighting them. They also have a unique encounter with Normal types and abilities associated with such, and vice versa. Apparently, the two cannot interact with each other in any way. Fighting has a similar issue, although certain moves allow one to ignore such a challenge. My Emboar was able to do as such, for example.

The Haunter was the easiest foe in my experience, disregarding that it was the lowest level off the team. Its most troublesome abilities were a move where it become stronger if its opponent was slower than itself or was called out of battle, along with an ability that took advantage of its moves that put an opponent to sleep. In that state, it could do even worse damage, and recover its injuries.

The Misdreavus had a more fearsome ability than any of the others, however, called Perish Song. It instills something within the opponent and itself, cutting the battle short in only a few more attacks as both faint. If you change out your attacker, then this appears to break the curse's hold. The trouble arises when it is used in tandem with other abilities that put one to sleep or confuses them.

Finally, the Gengar was an impressive opponent. That one held all the strengths of its teammates, including Perish Song. If you allow this one to put any of your team to sleep, that could very well mean the end for that particular member of the party. The good news is that Gengar, like every Palien, has its weakness. Dark type moves seem to work well against Ghostly opponents, but I finished up with other types, and can tell you that, for all a Gengar's offensive capabilities, it only takes some well thought out and powerful moves to get past what seems to be a weak defense.

I hope this helps you when you eventually face Morty. Please let me know how it turns out.

[SUP DOP'

How are the Rocket bosses enjoying this new heroism found by their pink-haired employee? Hopefully well, because it's just going to get bigger from here on. Attached to this text arrive some screenshots: they're Staryutube comments on Jaskier's uploaded recording of Manaphy's summon. And it isn't just any comments, oh no, Jaskier has chosen them specifically for these shots: they all talk about how brave and heroic Doppio was for saving Phione. They also keep calling him one thing--]


All hail Doppio, Protector of the Egg~!

[Some young children are always full of questions, inquiries about the world they're discovering around them. Louie isn't usually like that, himself, but today is different. He woke up not only in a strange place, but as a strange... Thing. And he got some information from Armin, who lives in here and apparently knows him, but even at age eight Louie isn't willing to trust that so easily. He wants confirmation.

It isn't terribly difficult for him to figure out the Pokegear, though it's not simple either. He's going off what he figured out playing with Gladstone's smartphone the last few times they saw each other. It would have come quicker if Uncle Donald had a cool phone like that, but there's a lot of stuff Donald and the boys don't have that other people do, Louie's started to notice.

Anyway, he manages to find his way to a contact directory, and he picks one of the marked numbers to call... Though the listed name gives him pause, leading to an odd greeting on his part:]


Is your name really Vinegar?

[After an accidental video call with Allura, Min-Gi is starting to get to grips with how the PokéGear works. Sort of. Mostly he's just calling random people and hoping maybe they have answers that Ryan and the strange animals they'd found don't have.]

Hello, this is Min-Gi. Do you know where Powell Lake is?

[It wouldn't be correct to say Louie's been putting this off. In fact, he's often forgot about his and Doppio's conversation during the whole time warp, age shift thing. Working on things for the JKBA had nearly driven him a little mad for a while there, and then more weird things, plus looking for coins with Gilt... And with all that, of course he'd just wanted to relax while Armin and Angel were off on their honeymoon.

But when he does think back to the very odd conversation he had with, presumably, a younger Doppio-- It bothers him. Mostly because it seems off in a way he can't place! He's used to sussing things out pretty well, but... Well, this he can't do that with. It isn't sitting right with the teen.]


Hey, Dops, call me when you get a chance. Everything's cool, I just wanna talk.

Sorry it's been a while.
