Puzzle 031 - [Text/Action] Backdated to 10/17

[hintcoinplz]

[Today happens to be a special day for Luke - it’s his birthday! After getting tied to a bear and falling ill for most of the week, Luke was eager to celebrate it. Even if he was a little sad that he couldn’t celebrate it at home. That won't stop him from letting the rest of the world know about it though. Turning fourteen is a very exciting thing

You're absolutely correct!

[blaettertanz]

That was an easy one.

Would you like a harder one?

[As if by coincidence, here is Clover, actually walking with her own Furret, accompanied by a Roserade who seems to be in deep Poké-conversation with a Gabite. She loves taking her Pokémon out of their balls.

When she sees Luke struggling with this other Furret, she breaks into a run, and her terrific trio tail her. Clover and the Roserade hurry over to Luke while the Furret and the Gabite stand ready, in case their trainer started barking orders.]

Hey - hey, kid! Need some help?

[action]

[hintcoinplz]

[He flails his arms trying to shoo away the Furret, only to have it affectionately nudge him.]

Get it off, it's going to eat me!

[action]

[4leafcleaver]

[Clover notices the Furret nudging Luke...and that's enough to tell her that this Furret wasn't going to harm him, at least.]

...I don't think it's gonna eat you, but I'm gonna guess you want it off. [She turns to her own team.] Okay, Striper, Arietis, you're both up.

[And the second Furret and the Gabite snap into action, and try to pull the other Furret off.]

[action]

[hintcoinplz]

[As soon as the Furret is pulled off, Luke dashes backwards.]

T-thank you! Who knows what Pokemon was planning to do!

[Currently, the Furret is nuzzling against Clover's Gabite.]

You still look the same to me. [harrharr]

As for the puzzle, it's too easy! Anyone can tell you the answer has to be 44!

[hintcoinplz]

Hmpf, that's rich coming from a kid who's shorter then I am. I'm telling you I've grown taller!

[Well okay he doesn't know if Romano is shorter or not, but Luke does not like insults to his height.

He knows he's short okay.]

And yes, that is the right answer.

[video]

[piccolo_tomate]

[As far as Romano is concerned, Luke has special powers that tell him how tall people are. And he hates it.]

Shut up! There's no way you'd be taller than I am for any reason! Short! Short, short, shoooooort!!

[hintcoinplz]

You can insult me all you like but you still haven't proven me wrong!

Luke you're such a cutie

[usedtherapy]

[[Don't mind the chuckle, Luke. Rose is simply amused.]]

Fourteen? You're a year older than me now. For a few months, at least. Happy birthday, Luke. How has the day been for you so far?

[[And now you are receiving a scrutinizing glance over.]]

Hmmm. I'd comment on your height, but it's a tad difficult to tell through the screen of the Pokegear. We'll just have to see when you pay us a visit.

As for your puzzle, I believe the answer is forty-four.

[hintcoinplz]

Thank you, Rose! And that's the right answer to the puzzle!

[Luke pauses thoughtfully.]

Oh, that's right! You're in Goldenrod right now, aren't you? You haven't left yet?

[usedtherapy]

Thank you in return, then. And yes, indeed I am. We'll be leaving soon, but we're still here in Goldenrod.

[hintcoinplz]

Are you busy right now, then? Perhaps this would be a good time to come visit!

[Puzzles? That's a rather adorable past time for a boy in his opinion]

Father is 44. And wishes of health, happiness and longevity to you Little One.

[hintcoinplz]

That's correct, and thank you sir! Although I have a feeling I won't be "little" for much longer. Heheh!
