[Oh, it's little miss vampire. Looks like she's not having a good time.

So naturally, Gold's going to make a nice big lunch for himself.]

You sure do like sittin' like a Politoed, don'tcha.

Yup! They're the Frog Pokémon, so... they're frogs.

[... Pokémon is so weird why do you have some animal names and some not.]

You crouch just like my little Polibo. He's way cuter than you though, got a real majesty to him too! But his singin' is horrible.

When the lady deserves it, she deserves it! And this one!

[tada!

... he's unfolding a piece of paper from his pocket to show Elda what Polibo looks like. Tada!!! Look at this crude drawing!!!]

They say the curlier the curl, the more kingly the Politoed! And Polibo keeps his curl super curled, it's basically a spring!

Eh, they do more in real life. Just hard to put that on paper, you know?

[He'll fold it back up, sliding it into his pocket.]

Do your frogs come from tadpoles too?

Yeah, yeah! That's what Poliwag are! Then they evolve into Poliwhirl, which've got strong arms for punchin', and then there's two different ways from there. The one's my Polibo, and the other's Poliwrath, which is an even stronger Poliwhirl that's bigger, meaner, and tougher!

[... Gold lucked out honestly.]

The hero of Kanto's got a Poliwrath, so me and Polibo wanted him to evolve into one too, but Silver got in the way and now Polibo's a Politoed. Can't say I mind it that much anymore though!

Oh, Poliwhirl and Poliwrath can learn Mega Kick too, yeah! But they're definitely better at punchin' stuff. That's why they've got gloves, like Hitmonchan do!

They just do? And they can walk normally too, just so you know, Poitoed's the only one that really gets any hoppin' done.

[cmon elda catch on quicker, you're old not dumb]

You wanna see my other partners too? I drew pictures of all of 'em so people know what they look like when we find 'em!

[LET HIM TALK FOREVER ABOUT HIS PARTNERS AND HE WONT MAKE LUNCH]

They'll be fine, thanks, Pokeballs are made of tough stuff designed to keep them in for periods of time!

[.... they can probably still starve but he is not thinking about that, so! he will take out his other crude drawings, smoothing them out. Look at that Togepi. It looks just like Gold, in the face.]

Which do you wanna know about first?

[YOU THREW HIS SON AWAY HOW DARE YOU but he will keep it to a scowl for now, bringing the Togepi paper closer to him.]

Fake tree with a face, actually. Sudobo's pure Rock-typing.

Camouflage! Plants are usually Grass-types, so by lookin' like a plant he can trick people into thinkin' he's not weak to water. Does a real good job at it too-- he can even get as tall as a real tree! And then no one attacks him!

[and then you wreck your shit into him and it hurts]

You wouldn't like gettin' sprayed by water, would you?

What myth?

[now you GOTTA tell him]

Oh.

Does fire? Sacred or not.
