004. [Video/Action for Rocket HQ]

<sub>[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.]</sub>

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.]}

Something about Pokemon without trainers not being allowed in the store.

_{[When you're so filthy and unkempt that you're mistaken for a soot-covered Tangela by Goldenrod Department Store employees... it's bad.]}

[armoredsoul]

[That just...gets a very long sigh out of Al.]

Well, if you wanna go check things out, I can come with you so they don't try to kick you out like that again. [And maybe try to clean him up a bit beforehand...]

[garbagechild]

What?

Yuck!

I'm not goin' anywhere with you!

_{[Wrath continues to rebuff Al's eternally-patient attempts at friendship: news at 11.]}

[armoredsoul]

[And no one was surprised. Least of all Al, who shrugs in response.]

I figured I'd offer. Let me know if you ever change your mind.

[garbagechild]

I'm not gonna change my mind.

If I see you again, I'm gonna let Mad bite you as much as she wants.

[armoredsoul]

[SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH.]

I'm sure you will.
