019 - Audio → Video + Action for Violet City Pokémon Centre
[ The audio feed starts up to treat all of Johto to the lovely sound of a wailing baby Cubone. The sniffling newly-hatched Pokémon had developed the habit of wandering around and looking for his parent whenever his owner turns his back.
Unfortunately this always ends in failure since, you know, the pokémon’s egg had just sort of appeared on Christmas Day leaving behind no trace of a mother.
The sound of the Cubone crying continues for several minutes before Gokudera is able to locate the Lonely Pokémon and wrestle the pokégear from its tiny hand. ]
I told you to stop wandering off, damn it!
[ Obviously shouting at a crying baby is not the best idea in the world. As every trainer should know - Raised Voice + Scary Face + crying young Pokémon = more crying.
But Gokudera isn’t every trainer. He’s the kind of guy who deals with crying kids by shouting at them or by giving them their favourite candy. Given that Pokémon candy is rare har har, shouting is the only option. ]
And I told you to stop crying! You’ve got a skull on your head. You’re too cool to cry.
[ Cubone calms down at being called cool but he still sniffles slightly. Gokudera sighs and picks up the poke gear and switches the feed to video ]
Yamamoto, I’ll take your absence as a small mercy and assume that you’ve been sent back home again. You better not be lost in the damn forest or something, I swear to God.
The rest of you guys are still here, right? I’d hate to be the only one suffering through this shitty weather. Let me know if you are. The Tenth and I are leaving for Azalea Town as soon as the hail stops.
[ Filtered to Tsuna ]
[ Gokudera stops grumbling when he switches the filter on. In fact some might even say he looks happy. Happy because he remembered that Tsuna wanted to discuss ~Family Business~ and there is no better subject than that. ]
There was something you wanted to talk to me about, boss. Remember?
I'm waiting in the Pokémon Centre so just come and find me whenever you're ready. We'll make some better travel plans while we're at it. It'll be great!

Oh, yeah. I've got a quick question for you guys.
[ He pauses and then asks: ]
How do you guys decide which Pokémon to leave in storage? I've got too many to keep them all with me and I'm having a hard time deciding which one to ditch.
