"Yeah!" a second, quieter voices adds."Huh?" you and Hawchy stop dead in your tracks. Neither of you are girls, but there's no one else in the area. You turn around to face the bush and Hawchy makes sure to stand in front of you just in case. "Is somebody there?"
It's a little too early for the cucuys to be out and about, so because of that you arrive at the conclusion that there is no way the giant, hulking, two-headed pepper monstrosity that hops out of the shrub can be anything but friendly. That said, there's also the matter of it talking, and so easily at that. Pokemon... don't do that. Think of all the ethical issues that suddenly get thrown into the mix when you allow Pokemon to talk!
"Over here, mamacita!" the pepper fiend's red head says as it shakes off leaves.
"Yeah!!" says the green head."He's shy," the red head clarifies his other half's internal insecurities before they can even be brought up. "But that's beside the point! Come here for a second!"
"W-who are you?" you ask, understandably unnerved by standing so close to a creature who could very easily chomp your head off.
"New to these parts, aren't ya? Yeah! I bet! I can smell the stink and malaise of a newbie anywhere! It stings our beady little peepers like my own juices do on a regular basis!"
"It hurts reeeeeeal bad!" the green head adds with a hasty nod."You can talk..?" you follow up your unanswered question with another.
"Raaaagh! Of course we can! We're a designated case! One of the special few! A standout! We're what's called.... the Monster of the Week™!! The perks of which are.... pretty cool!!!"
"Yeah! The Chattermax Factor™!" the green head raves.>What do you do?A) Ask what 'Monster of the Week' means
B) Get bullied.
C) Receive a positive warning.
