"'Course I do! I haven't done ANYTHING since the 90's man, I want my son to become the Chimp of Showderp! It's the only way I'll ever be able to get any extended relevance in this messed-up Tyler Perry modern world!"

"Something the matter man?"
"N-No, it's nothing, i-it's just...." the professor stutters, then places a hand on his chest, "My son...He is terminally ill with terminal cancer that's....th-that is terminal... They say that he only has a few months to live before departing from this world."
Sinbad frowns, "Oh...Are you for real now?"
"Y-Yes, i-it is not tres bien...his ONLY...his ONLY wish, is to get babby's first guide to the metagame in order to git gud and find a way to counter Smogonbird before dying...You see, we have a very strained relationship, and only now, JUST NOW, do I realize that that strained relationship...is my fault."
"Whoa...That's deep."
A pause follows as Sycamore forces waterworks through his eyes, this is a low blow, but justified. This guide is important, it's important because it's Smogon.
"S-So....May I please have the guide, monsieur?"
