Dear LH, I was Wondering if you would know of the Best way to groom a Dragonair for optimum health? And how to make certain my Dragonair doesn’t lose her Everstone? She really doesn’t want to evolve because she feels more comfortable as a Dragonair. Also, a Milotic of mine keeps making advances on her, but can’t take a hint that she’s not interested, even with my toxicroak Poison jabbing him and carting his stunned body away. any advice to deal with the wannabe Brock?

On Grooming: Everything starts with a good diet. Feed your dragonair a healthy mix of vegetables and fresh seafood, and if recommended by your local Nurse Joy, consider supplements as well. This will help keep her color vivid and her scales glossy. Also, make sure her environment is moist and humid so her skin doesn’t dry out. There’s not much else you really need to do; your dragonair will keep herself clean and shed her skin once a month anyway. You only really need to keep a close watch on her whenever she sheds, and if she looks like she’s having trouble, give her something, such as a rock, to rub up against to help herself along.

On Everstones: This is always tricky for a serpentine pokémon, but luckily, dragonair have a nice space between their pearl and their cheekbones and horn that would be a perfect fit for a collar satchel. Bill might have mentioned this in an earlier ask, but collar satchels are special collars with a pouch on the front specially designed to hold items. Just fix one on between your dragonair’s head and pearl, insert the everstone, and close the pouch. The placement between her pearl and cheeks will keep it from sliding off, and the pouch will be close enough to her body for the everstone to work.

On Milotic: Have you tried neutering him?

Lanette … that’s a bit extreme for a first course of action, isn’t it? —Bill

On the contrary. Sometimes, it’s the only way to deal with men who can’t take no for an answer. —LH

…remind me to never make you angry. —Bill

Feebas and Milotic

Feebas
The Fish Pokémon
Type: Water
Official Registration #: 349
Entry: Because of its rather plain appearance, many trainers and researchers overlook this pokémon in favor of the far more wondrous-looking creatures that cohabit its native freshwater streams. It’s a shame, really, as all feebas have the potential to be fascinating subjects. For example, it’s fascinating that feebas can eat quite literally anything in its path. It’s fascinating that they’re so resilient and tenacious that they can thrive in even the most polluted environments. It’s fascinating that feebas are not rare at all but rather congregate only in the warmest parts of a river, often packing themselves tightly into a square foot of water just to remain in that spot. It’s fascinating that despite the apparent elusiveness of this pokémon, they are also apparently extremely easy to catch, as they will latch onto baited hooks over and over again, sometimes even immediately after being thrown back into a river by the exact same trainer. Or, in short, it’s fascinating that feebas are absolutely, fantastically, and uncannily human-like.

Milotic
The Tender Pokémon
Type: Water
Official Registration #: 350
Entry: The evolved form of feebas, via trading if the subject has been given a prism scale. Said to be the most beautiful pokémon in existence (and certainly the most soothing to look at), milotic has been, for countless generations, a sort of muse to humankind—an inspiration to countless works of art, music, literature, and so forth. Because of the fact that it evolves from such a plain-looking pokémon, it is also said to be a bit of a metaphor, specifically for the idea that inner beauty is far more important than outer. However, considering the fact that both feebas and milotic are judged based on their looks and the fact that some milotic are extraordinarily vain pokémon liable to turn a Hydro Pump on any trainer who fails to polish their iridescent scales in just the right way, the author is inclined to believe that whoever insists milotic is a metaphor has very likely missed a rather important point here.
