[It's not Shaun that the camera catches first, but his newest pokemon - a little Pichu peering curiously into the camera.]

Move, Calvin--

[He only sounds slightly exasperated, to his credit, as he picks it up under its arms and pulls it in close.]

Uh, I need some advice.

Calvin doesn't know how to control the electricity in his cheeks yet, and he keeps zapping me and my other Pokemon. Richie and Blaze can handle it, but Susie's a water type and I'm worried he's going to hurt her real bad. It seems mean to keep him in his ball, though, just because he's too little to control his electricity... What should I do?

Yeah, that's for sure. But we'll get there someday! And then after we get our badge, we can go on to Azalea! Neither me or Norman are gonna have a problem with Bugsy - Norman has three fire types, and I've got Blaze, who knows a lot of really tough moves.

You haven't seen Blaze and Richie yet! Can I show you?

Sure, I'd love to see them!

Okay! Hold on!

[The camera shakes a little as Shaun picks it up and tilts it down, showing the Growlithe and Poochyena curled up on the bed next to him, having a quick snooze after a hard day of training. The Poochyena is over half the size of the Growlithe, a big puppy for her species.]

Blaze is the Growlithe, and Richie is the Poochyena. Blaze knows a lot of really tough moves already.

[The camera shifts back to the original view of Shaun with Calvin in his lap.]

Aren't they cool?

They sure are! You like dogs then?

I never had a dog back home.

Norman - the guy I'm traveling with - has a friend whose pokemon had a bunch of puppies, so he gave them away to trainers he knew. Norman got a Houndour, and he named it Taco.

Taco? [Laughs.] That's an interesting name, for sure.
