<sub>[It's not uncommon for Wrath to be sharing screentime with his Pokemon, but in this case, he looks distinctly irritated about it.]

[Behind him is a Lopunny that's a good foot or so taller than him, clad in a dress that is... DAMN FANCY-LOOKING, ACTUALLY. There's like... frills and ribbons and junk.]

[Wrath glares directly into the camera, appealing to the hypothetical audience to side with him.]</sub>

She wasn't gonna be happy until Mama and I bought her a DRESS.

And she's still not happy!

Why does she like clothes so much?

Pokemon don't even need to wear clothes like people and things that look like people do.

I wish I was a Pokemon, because then I wouldn't need to wear clothes.



<sub>[The Lopunny-- a recent acquisition from the raid he'd performed with Ralph of a wealthy socialite's all-night dinner party, aka Wrath's first Real Mission (tm)-- lets out a huff and taps her long, curved claws impatiently on her arm. She clearly is about as pleased to be paired with Wrath as he is with her.]

[He responds with a huff of his own.]</sub>

Hmph.

Anyway, she's brown.

So her name is Dirty.

_{[The rabbit Pokemon's head whips around, outraged, but Wrath yells right over her angry growl.]}

I DON'T CARE, DIRTY!

_{[IN ALL FAIRNESS, if Wrath could write, that's... probably what he'd put down too. Bears aren't good detectives, and neither are undead babies brought back from beyond the grave.]}

Her feet are big and furry, and also it's HOT out now. Not like a bit ago when there was all that white stuff on the ground.

I'm pretty sure they're not cold.

[garbagechild]

<sub>[Gosh, Ralph, why do you have to be such a bad guy all the time?]

[FORTUNATELY, it kind of flies right over Wrath's head. For some reason, he seems to have gotten the impression that Ralph is NICE. Probably because Wrath takes first impressions and clings to them like a dog with a bone.]</sub>

Ralph!

Ralph, why does she like clothes so much?

Why does ANYBODY like clothes so much?

I'm confused.

_{[Schoolteacher, meet UNDEAD HELLBABY who has never had a day's traditional schooling in his life.]}

So?

It's accurate.

I'm just being honest.

[garbagechild]

I understand her just fine!

We just HATE each other.

That's all.

[video]

[garbagechild]

<sub>[GOLD STAR FOR ENVY. He's the first to pick up on what just might be a thing.]

[Wrath's expression darkens into the customary glare that he greets Envy with every time they speak.]</sub>

I can't do THAT!

She'd probably rat me out.

You can't let potential traitors just go.

_{[You can thank Dante for saddling Wrath with THAT little nugget of wisdom.]}

[video]

[awesmazings]

...Okay, well, maybe a sweet name wouldn't work so well. But...I dunno, I feel like she's not really gonna be sweet if you're gonna give her name like that...who wants to be called "Dirty"?

[video]

[rocketralph]

Alright, kid, put it this way.

Y'know how you like the cafeteria fries after they've been sitting out for three days but nobody else does?

[audio]

[stonebones]

[This kid must really love food... Or hate clothes...

Both, probably.]

Hmmn? Some people just have different tastes. Pokemon shouldn't be any different, right?

[envy_the_sinners]

Then why don't you just let her go?

[kingofthetvworld]

White stuff?

[He has to blink at that. What sort of white stuff would be on the- OH!]

Do you not know what the heck a snow is? That's like the best weather out there!

[And just like that, he's already stopped caring about the lopunny. Sorry, but there's a snow-related injustice he has to make right.]

[failnought]

[ oh god she's got her work cut out for her doesn't she. ]

Just because she's brown doesn't mean she's dirty. Even if it's honest, it's hurtful.

[islandshore]

[His eyes fly wide open, and he gawks for a moment.]

Wait. You actually went into a store naked?

[Wrath... Wrath, please.

Do pardon his facepalm.]

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

[Trait--OKAY THERE MIGHT ACTUALLY BE SOMETHING TO THIS?]

[But instead of letting anything on, Envy just raises a disbelieving, dismissive eyebrow.]

Potential traitor. Really?

[armoredsoul]

But if you intend to keep her, you have a responsibility to take care of her. And a big part of that is treating her kindly. She might not like you right now, but you can build up that trust with her.

[video]

[garbagechild]

I bet Ground-type Pokemon would like to be called 'Dirty'.

_{[That's kind of not the point, Wrath.]}

[video]

[garbagechild]

... That's when they're the best!

[audio]

[garbagechild]

_{[He likes clothes just fine in the wintertime when it's cold and he NEEDS them! But now that it's warm out, he could honestly take 'em or leave 'em.]}

I guess, but still, if I gave her what she wanted, shouldn't she be happy?

[garbagechild]

_{[Wrath sounds scandalized.]}

I can't do that!

She's seen too much.

[garbagechild]

The best?

_{[Wrath sounds kind of skeptical.]}

I don't know about that. It was fun at first but then it got cold and wet and made all my human body juices come out of my face.

[garbagechild]

<sub>[Yes. Yes she does.]

[He is used to his authority figures being far more terrifying than someone like Serah.]t

[But hey-- gotta start somewhere.]</sub>

Well, she scratched me.

That hurt too.

[garbagechild]

--well, not NAKED!

I still had-- what are they called...

Pants.

... Pantses?

No. Pants.

_{[He's pretty sure it's 'pants'.]}

[video]

[garbagechild]

Yeah! REALLY!

_{[He says this defiantly, puffing out his chest. >8( He doesn't like your tone, Envy!]}

You can't let traitors go or they could use s... sensitive information AGAINST you! .... Or stab you through the HEAD.

I'm not gonna let THAT happen again!

[video]

[awesmazings]

...I have a Pokemon named Digger. He's not a ground-type, but it's...kindof close? He just likes to dig holes.

[kingofthetvworld]

Well, duh! You're not suppose to stay out there forever! That's when you go inside and drink hot cocoa until you get sick. That way, you can skip out on work the next day and stay home drinking even more.

[But before Teddie can get a chance to further explain his flawless ideas, his mind pulls a mental record scratch. Hold on, back up.]

Human body...?

You aren't human?!

[failnought]

[ ... Serah's getting an idea of their relationship just from this small exchange. Welp. ]

That's not nice, either. But if you keep hurting each other, that's far from a good relationship, and you might end up causing some serious damage to yourselves or even other people.
