This is getting ridiculous.
[Well that certainly sounds like Archer, though he's not on screen. The background appears to be a very boring room in what looks like a hotel, with a window showing that it is indeed still raining dogs. Apparently it was fine while it was raining cats, but Archer has finally lost his suspension of disbelief at the dogs.]
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? I was willing to write the sharks off as a freak storm, but this? It's been two days of this now. How long is it going to rain animals?
[The camera turns then to focus on two Espurrs sitting on the hotel bed. They look as traumatized as any normal Espurr, but they're sitting upright and clutching each other's paws for dear life.]
I have another question. Has anyone ever had a Pokémon that has simply refused to do anything without being accompanied by a partner?
[Archer moves into the shot, proving that he's not actually filming this. He reaches out and scoops up the Espurr on the left, pulling it away from the second one. Immediately both the cats start wailing. It's very loud and the both of them immediately attempt to reunite, the one on the bed clawing at Archer's uniform and the one in his arms squirming frantically. Archer sighs and drops the cat on the bed and the two quickly join hands again and go silent, staring up at Archer like he's committed the worst sin possible.]
I can't get them to do anything. I didn't even want two, but when I caught the first one the second one wouldn't stop following me and crying.
[He sounds annoyed, but it was really just kind of depressing.]
I've never had two Pokémon this dependent on each other. Has anyone else had experience dealing with something like this?

While I do have an interest in rare Pokémon, I was actually asking because I've traveled through Johto before. Unfortunately I don't recognize the species name, so I'm afraid I can't tell you where you could catch another one.

I'm still in Violet City; I was going to leave but promptly got pinned down by falling animals. I'm not going to try to fly in this weather.
I'll keep looking, though. Who knows, maybe she'll become useful before I find the others.

I haven't had any change that much, outside of Lyra - she was a little blue bug before, and when she evolved she gained flight. So watching her adjust to that was sort of hilarious, but she got a lot more assertive as a result. Do you mean things like that?

[...]
...Well, most Abras can't battle at all since they only know Teleport, but that's not the point. Anyway, this particular Abra was prone to being a pain sometimes - he liked to Teleport away from me so I couldn't return him to the Pokéball, for example, but for the most part he was well-behaved and quiet, even when he was awake.
Once he evolved he changed completely. He started talking to me and was far more blunt about his thoughts and he started doing everything in his power to make things difficult for me. Teleporting to avoid getting put back in the Pokéball was the least of my concerns. He was a little terror.
He's gotten a bit better since his final evolution but he still likes tormenting me whenever he can. That's not to say he's impossible to train; if he was, I certainly wouldn't keep him around.
[...Yes you would, Archer.]

[There's actually nothing malicious behind it, believe it or not, just questioning.]

Despite everything, he doesn't hesitate to assist me when I need it. It's playful teasing, not malicious; if it were malicious I certainly wouldn't keep him around, but as it stands I can handle it as long as he remains useful.

Yes, well, as long as he's useful he can stay.

[He's just really bad at this. And everything, to be honest.]
Good luck with your Pokémon.
