[neededthat]

I am not--!

[The Charmander smiles up at Teddie, waving his arms as he tries to explain something in his pokemon name language, but nothing translates very well. The old man rolls his eyes and crosses his arms. Only to quickly regret it and pulls his injured hand out from the folds of his shirt.]

He never had a name to begin with.

[kingofthetvworld]

Well duh, no one starts off with a name! You gotta give him one.

[Even Teddie, who had to name himself, knows that. Before he can say anymore, though, he notices Ratchet's reaction to his...erm, arm? It's hard to tell, but after all he experience, Teddie can spot when someone's hurt.]

Hey Pops, you doing okay? You look all...flinchy.

[neededthat]

{Ratchet perks up as Teddie's attention was drawn to him. He looks down at his hand and holds it out for him to see.]

That little abomination there burned me. I don't intend to name it either. It can go anywhere it wishes, as long as its away from me.

[kingofthetvworld]

[Yeesh, Teddie's never met an adult who was so...negative.]

Boy, what a grump. If you say you're sorry, I'll help you with your burn, but you gotta mean it. This is suppose to be your little buddy! Haven't you ever played a video game bearfore?!

[neededthat]

My little buddy?

[Ratchet stares down at the charmander who stands beside him willingly, ready to spring into action, only to find himself slumping his shoulders as the old man scoffs.]

If you won't help, I'll find someone who will.

[kingofthetvworld]

[Teddie's taken aback by this, literally jumping back in disgust.]

Y-You would rather stay in pain than be NICE?! What the heck is wrong with you?! For shame, what would your parents say?

That's it, we're having a Teddievention! I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I just let this go!

[And despite his distrust of all things fire-type, Cubchoo can't help but give the Charmander a sympathetic pat on the back. Way to lose the lotto, buddy.]

[neededthat]

[He would explain to him that he never really had 'parents', but Teddie looks to be far more concerned about this little creature next to him. Ratchet's cheeks balloon with a tight frown.]

There is no we here.

I want to get home, and back to normal.

[kingofthetvworld]

What, you think you're the only one?! How rude... That isn't a reason to hurt people's feelings!

[Teddie's half tempted to steal the Charmander for himself at this rate. Too bad stealing is bad and wrong...]

Now lemme see your hand! Maybe you're like the lion who got a thorn in his paw and are a lot nicer when you aren't hurt...
