Local Dragon Master

Oh, that's awful?? Poor things. No, I don't care if Arrow doesn't battle ever if he doesn't want to, he's my little cuddle buddy. My chores buddy, too, he likes to ride on my head when I'm cleaning, nyeh heh heh.

It is. To be honest, I'm getting rather tired of arrogant trainers who think that just because they have a dragon-type means they have the right to act out however they want. Good to see you're not one of them.

And here I was all ready to knit him a little beanbag Dreepy toy, nyeh heh heh! But thank you, that does make me feel better.

Don't worry about it, you seem like the kind of person who's going to treat him with care, that's worth supporting if you ask me. Most people who get their hands on a dragon-type tend to focus purely on how strong they are and neglect them as a result.

Nyeh heh, fair! I do worry about Arrow, though. I don't live in a place with a lot of Dreepy... or. Any, so I'm not sure what will happen when he evolves. Drakloak and Dragapult always have Dreepy with them. But I've got plenty of time to come up with ideas on how to help him out, at least. He's still young, and I don't battle hardly at all, so that evolution is a long time off.

If you want my frank opinon? He should be fine. I've seen Diglett and Magnemite evolve in places that don't really make a lot of sense, it's very strange when you start to wonder where those other Pokemon come from. I'm sure if Oak were still here he'd have a coherent explanation for it, but as it stands he got exiled a while back so he's unlikely to show his face in Kanto for a while. Still, if you're concerned I could ask one of my contacts if it's all right for you to visit when he's ready.

Nyeh heh, oh yeah I can see that being a lot to manage.

Dragons can be just as temperamental, though I must say, they don't start as overwhelmingly powerful as some people might think. Dratini tend to be very gentle, which continues into their fully evolved form if you treat them well. The fact that a Dragonite can flatten a building isn't relevant unless the trainer wants them to. From what I understand of Dreepy, they're rather the same way, though I haven't raised one myself yet.

From what I know about Gyarados, I think he's always going to have a bit of a temper, nyeh heh!

That is unfortunately very true. Between him and Aerodactyl I have some issues keeping them from causing trouble. Either they want to fight one another - not ideal - or pick a fight with someone else.

I do! And a Dreepy, and an Amaura. Glaive is the youngest! And yeah, nyeh heh, she sure can be sassy. Less than an hour old and she was already biting me. That took some training to get her to calm down with the teeth, nyeh heh!

Reminds me of a certain someone who gets sassy when he isn't fed on time ... even with the training, my Gyarados still has a temper. As for what he considers to be 'on time', that's whenever he's decided I'm taking too long to feed him. Or whenever he wants more food. Or whenever someone else gets fed and he decides it's an injustice.

Hm.
