Hi, I’ve just travelled to Johto from Hoenn with my Marshtomp. He never been left in a daycare before as he’s very nervous with strangers and I just wanted to know how trustworthy the daycare is near Golderod, especially when handling shy pokemon. I ask this as I may need to leave him there for a short while with my Linoone, who has been in a Hoenn daycare before. My friend’s (who I am currently staying with) Totodile is currently sick and I don’t want them to catch anything.

Having met them personally, I can tell you that they are absolutely trustworthy.

They’re a bit … eccentric when it comes to eggs (they have yet to train their ditto to leave their other pokémon alone, so they tend to stick passing trainers off with eggs now and then under the pretense that they have no idea how the egg came to be), but when it comes to pokémon care, you’ll find no one in Johto more trustworthy and caring, to be honest.

Well. Besides my mother, actually. But unfortunately, she’s not a licensed pokémon caretaker, so I’m afraid she won’t be available to care for your marshtomp.

Let me guess. You’re only mentioning her because she’s reading this, isn’t she? —LH

No, of course not. (Yes.) —Bill
