_{[There are plenty of newborn Pokemon that enter the world squalling or cooing.]

[This one entered with a whole lot of growling and then nearly took somebody's finger off.]

[The little Deino on the screen, which happens to have a faintly-sparkling green coat rather than the customary blue, is yanking and worrying at the end of one of the scarves that its trainer had received for Christmas as well as the egg it had just hatched from. It's been in the world outside its eggshell for about five minutes and it's already filled with fury at the fact that this long soft thing exists in its general vicinity.]

[Wrath is thrilled.]

[He turns to the camera (which is presumably held by his Kangaskhan) proudly, apparently unconcerned that the tiny dino-dragon is nearly tugging the scarf right off of him.]}

The rock turned into a sparkling animal!

Her name is Mad.

Mad likes to bite.

_{[... A little like her trainer, actually. They also share the same hairdo aesthetic. This is clearly a match made in heaven.]}

Oh!

_{[That makes sense! Fortunately, Wrath catches onto things quick if they're explained using small words.]}

Maybe her name could be Mad Pizzaz.

Is that a good name?

Hmmm... I dunno! That's got an interesting ring to it, but I think if you wanted to go for the feeling you were going for, you could name her Pizzazz the Mad. If you make it like a title, it makes her seem cooler!

Mm... I dunno.

I like the name Mad.

I think she's plenty cool just the way she is.

Well, hey, if it works for her and it works for you, there's no problem! It's gonna work out just fine for you.

I think it will!

_{[At this point, the Deino has wandered over to one of his discarded socks and started shaking it around like a wild animal.]

[Wrath reaches over to scoop her up, getting a growl for his efforts.]}

If she's a baby, does this make me her daddy?

I never thought I'd have a daughter.

But I guess if I was ever gonna have one, this is exactly what I'd want.

_{[QUADRUPEDAL, FURRY, MADE OF SHARP EDGES, AND ANGRY AT THE WORLD.]}

Yeah, it totally does!

[oh no, this is cute.]

So remember, be an excellent role model for your little girl and make sure she grows up right!

Or at least grows up cool, because that's the important thing.

_{[Wrath BEAMS.]}

I'm gonna teach her so many things.

Like how you're only supposed to eat what's INSIDE the shiny wrappers that are on things you get from the vending machine!

...ooooh, yeah. That's a pretty easy mistake to make, especially if you don't have eyes and you're a Pokemon.

Yeah.

I made that mistake and I HAVE eyes!

... And also I'm not a Pokemon.
