Okay, so does albinism happen to run in particular Pokémon species? I thought it might've been a newborn thing, but it's been a while and normal fur hasn't grown in yet for him at all.

[A young, energetic Sneasel clambers his way up the back of York's chair. He's kind of excessively pink.

Someone's got his first shiny is what's happening here.

The Sneasel waves at the camera, then slips back down in an undignified tumble before running off again to play with York's Rotom. York watches him go before shaking his head.]

I ask 'cause I know that can cause eye problems, but he hasn't complained about it and Delta Two hasn't picked up any bad news from him. But he's a Dark type and a baby, so I dunno how much she'd be able to get from him, anyway. Do I need to get him glasses? Keep him out of the sun?

--Also, anyone celebrating Hanukkah this year, hope you had a good one. York out.

Shiny just means that they are a different color, like "they're shiny and new" I think. I have a shiny Glaceon, and he's a much paler blue than a normal one. I've seen someone with a gold Altaria, and their normal color is blue. Shinies aren't any stronger or weaker than the non-shiny ones. So your Sableye is fine the way he is.

[But...] I think he'd look kind of cool with sunglasses.

Oh, well, as long as he's fine, then.

[York rubs his chin, considering.]

He would look kinda cool, wouldn't he? Maybe when he's a little bigger and doesn't trip over his feet so much. Do they even make sunglasses for Pokémon?

They do, actually! In the Department store in Goldenrod, they have all sorts of accessories for Pokémon.

I'll have to give 'em a look next time I'm over there. How've you been, kiddo? It's been a while.

I'm a bit better now. Teddie left, so we're still getting used to a quiet house.

[This girl did not cry for a week straight because she lost the only person from her own world. Nope.]

What about you?

Oh. Hey, I'm sorry to hear that.

[He is. He hasn't been here long enough to have lost anyone quite like that, but he knows loneliness all the same.]

I'm doing pretty well. Settled in Goldenrod with some friends; we've been here a couple months now. Looks like we might just stay here a while.

It's okay. A lot of my friends left this year. I just gotta be an adult and move on.

[A friend for each month she's been here and extra.]

Really? The place I do ads for is in Goldenrod. It's called Honeyed Souls if you like sweets and other treats. You should check it out.

Hmm...do you guys do boxes of chocolates? You know, the kind you see in movies. The romantic type, maybe.

Yeah! We have an assortment of fudge, too. It's Eevee fudge, and each type of chocolate in there represents a different Eeveelution. They're pretty good. And you can do special orders if you want it a certain way.

I'll have to check out the selection. Got a couple important days coming up and all.

Really? I think we all do. Christmas is just around the corner!

That's one of 'em, yeah. Got a birthday to take care of right before then, too, so it's always a trick and a half to make sure there are enough presents going around.

A birthday? Are you making the cake by yourself, or buying one? There's a lot of good places around here to buy everything you need~

Oh man, yeah, definitely gotta buy that. I don't think either Carolina or I've been rated for cake-making. Career soldiers generally aren't great at that sort of thing.

Career soldier? You can make a career out of being one?

Sure can. I mean, it's hard, with the shortened life expectancy and all, but if you're lucky you can pull it off.

Being an idol is hard enough, and I don't want to get shot at. It is really cool you pulled it off and aren't missing an arm or something.

[...]

Well, a grenade did go off in my face one time.

[Hence the. Eye. And all.]

[...............................

How'd you survive that?

A...teammate saved my life.

That and I had my armor on, at least.

[The sound of that makes Rise stop any questions she has about the teammate. It doesn't sound like it would be a good discussion.]

I thought it would have been from a bear attack, or maybe a really big cat.

[That actually makes him chuckle.]

Not a whole lot of that action in outer space. I'm kinda flattered you think I could take on a bear, though.

[Oh no she has to ask this...]

Can Carolina overpower you?

Hell yeah, she can. No question.

[He ain't even ashamed.]

Wow. I think she and my friend Chie-senpai would have a lot in common!

[Except maybe the obsession with martial art movies.]
