2nd Joke - Video/Action for Rocket Base

[used_trick]

[The Pokegear is on its side, at an awkward angle -- Harley doesn't seem to be aware that it's filming. She's happily dancing around a large, bushy Christmas tree in one corner of the room. Said tree appears to be holding roughly three times its own weight in lights, tinsel, and candy-canes, and Harley's adding more to it. She's singing quietly under her breath; careful listeners might pick out the lyrics.]

[Stan the Poochyena can barely be made out on Harley's bed. He's looking more resigned than usual and gnawing disconsolately on a large candy-cane, a massive red and green bow tied around his neck. A Koffing occasionally floats into view, wearing a Santa hat and apparently okay with that.]

[Harley tops off the tree with a surprisingly-simple star and flops back on the bed, dislodging Stan with a yelp. She picks up the Poochyena, who makes a half-hearted attempt to bite her face off, apparently more out of habit at this point than anything.]

We got a tree, Stanny!

[She's obviously very happy about this. It's been a while since she's been able to have an honest-to-God Christmas tree.]

Whatcha want for Christmas? You been a good dog, so I'm gonna getcha somethin' nice.

Oh, izzat all? It's not chocolate, he'll be fine.

[Dogs can't eat chocolate. It's as simple as that, as far as Harley's concerned.]

Yeah, your probably right. I mean, I seen dogs eat all kindsa grody stuff, so a candycane probably ain't a big deal.

Right! Dogs're smart, and Pokemon are even smarter. The babies back home didn't eat stuff that wasn't good for 'em, so I bet if it was bad for Stan he wouldn't touch it either.

[She seems sort of proud of this bit of logic.]

_{[Huh. This lady's got a point!]}

Yeah, yeah, you're right. I guess it's 'cause dogs can smell real good n' stuff.

So ya had dogs back home, huh?

Musta been real nice! I wasn't allowed to have dogs or nothin' back home. Apartment rules, y'know.

Oh, most o' the places Mister J an' I stayed didn't have rules like that.

He's real big on findin' places he can live without people tellin' him what to do.
