[That... sounds like such a high-stakes situation... and it happened more than once?! Again, what happened to pokémon being endearing pet companions?! He stares at Clavell for a moment, then strokes his Tepig's head as it contentedly grunts to itself in his hold.]

I'll keep you updated.

[If anyone here has pokémon with world destruction capabilities in their ownership he'll need to find out sooner rather than later! Honestly, he may well need to enlist Clavell's - or rather, his companions' - help with that. But first things first; he'll run some background checks on the vending machine for a start.]

Before I leave you, is there anything vitally important that I should keep in mind regarding Tepig's care, apart from what you already told me?
