[ Who's that? It's Jack in a Poke'Mart work vest with an Edgar on his shoulder! After blowing of some steam during his I WANNA BE THE ~~VERY BEST~~ SCARIEST TRAINER EVER training run, a grin has returned to the older man's face. It's his lunch break.]

Hey, everyone! Check this out!

[Jack points the 'Gear at an enormous slingshot he's made situated between two thin trees out behind the Mart where he's been breaking down boxes. Between them, he's stretched a sort of net made of things the supplies came packaged in.]

I've found a way to help my flying Pokemon get up to speed. Ready, Edgar?

[ "Krow!" Edgar is looking bigger these days and a little less ADD. She flaps her wings and looks determined.]

Alright, I just load a little Pokemon food in here, like so. [He drops a few pellets into one half of a broken Poke'ball and starts pulling back on it.] Aim for something that is not a window and--- GO!

[The pellets are launched high into the air and Edgar dashes after them. Bullying random Ratatta has made her fast. She manages to catch one of the three pellets in her beak before it hits the ground.]

Ahahaha, good girl, Edgar! I hope this catches on!

That is a rather good idea, sir. Perhaps I should train my own bird Pokemon like this. Thank you.

Tell me if it works for you! If you can find some better things to build the launcher out of, let me know.

I will do, sir, though I am curious as to how you obtained a broken Pokeball like that. Did you pull it apart yourself?

[Jack turns the 'Gear to point at the back of the Poke'Mart.]

I work here and a couple were damaged in the boxes. You'd think for things people hold giant Pokemon in, they'd be sturdier!

Ah, so I see. Perhaps I can grab a few of those destroyed capsules the next time I reach town, and yes, you would assume so. Perhaps they are only sturdy with a Pokemon in them.

Where are you? If you're near Violet, I could see if I could find another broken poke'ball and save it for you!

Ah, is that so? Shame. I was just on the outskirts of Violet a few days ago. I am on my way back to Cherrygrove City. Perhaps I could find a broken there.

Thank you very much for the offer though.
