Work a little harder, work another way...

[insultyounow]

Please, brbtraining, I don't really adore them-- but I do need them.

[a nod from the boy, he knew how to properly water grass babies, it'd just been a little while, was all!]

Stop, stop, stop! You'll drown them you idiot. [..?]

Don't look at me like that-- I know what I'm talking about.

Look, they're playing in the mud now-- you can deal with

[Well, Lucas finally got curious and decided to come see the famous Professor Oak's Laboratory...Huh? This doesn't sound anything like the Professor Oak Lucas talked to before...]

P-Professor? Are you alright today?

[insultyounow]

[oh no, not more childiiiins!]

Yes. What do you need? [focusing on the behavior of these grass types instead of you! Really!]

[faithfulassist]

Well, nothing really, I just...I can come back if it's a bad time.

[insultyounow]

Good enough time as any... [he'll take out a cigarette to light up]

... you any good with grass types?

[faithfulassist]

[suppressing a lecture on the evils of smoking now, but]

I've handled them before, yes. While I was working with Professor Rowan, that is.

[insultyounow]

You got nothing to do, I take it? [childin's aren't busy things]

They're doing a fine job of overwhelming the Champ over there. [oh yeah, that was said with some intense sarcasm]

[faithfulassist]

Not, um, not really.

...Who?

[brbtraining]

[Oak will just point.

To this guy, who's currently attempting, and failing, to get a very muddy Bulbasaur to stop chasing a very scared looking Treeko.]

[faithfulassist]

Oh! Hey, do you need any help? [running over]

[brbtraining]

[Oak's glad you've gone! Escaping into the child free lab!

Red won't say it, but he'd greatly appreciate you scooping up either the Treeko or Bulbasaur because they're going to pass by/collide with you in about 3, 2, 1...]

[faithfulassist]

[Lucas scoops up the frightened-looking treeko without a second thought once it approaches.]

What is it that you want them to do?

[brbtraining]

[it will gladly take solace in your care, Lucas, it liked people far more than other Pokemon. Bulbasaur, however, would run itself face first into your leg if Red didn't snag him by the blub just in time to save you the injury]

... g... get along, would be, yah know, nice...

[faithfulassist]

Alright. Where are they going?

[brbtraining]

... bath... I guess... [Bulbasaur needed one, at least. Treeko had done will to keep out of the mud, while Imperita and Rashasaur decided they where going to get covered in it and terrorize him.

Speaking of that Chikorita, it was currently banished to the tub of shame, sitting in some now muddy water and looking rather bitter about it]

[faithfulassist]

Alright! We can do that!

...We'll need to change the water first, though. Is there any way to make it warmer?

[brbtraining]

[he didn't have Charizard with him and Ninetales was with Oak]

Um... do you have a fire type? [the hose water wasn't getting any warmer on it's own, though he'll empty out the dirty water and Chikorita from that tub in the meantime]
