[The camerawork in this video is... actually fairly professional, because it's being held in place by a Psychic Pokemon who will levitate whatever he pleases. It's outside the department store in Goldenrod, and Micchy is wearing a coat that... doesn't quite go with his shoes but you know what, he's trying.]

[But the focus is less on the coat and more on the Mareep that Micchy is... doing his best to wrestle into a sweater. It's not exactly cut for something with four legs but he's doing his damndest to get it into the thing.]

Come on, it'll keep you warm!

Maaa!

Don't give me that, your wool is going to get wet and then you'll be really unhappy and the static will get everywhere.

Maaa maareep!

Come on, please?

Reep!

[A laugh of Kaa kaadabraaa! can be heard behind the camera, and Micchy looks up to see Yoshiro filming them, his eyes wide.]

H-hey! Turn that off now!

[He reaches for the Pokegear and snatches it out of the Psychic-type's clutches, turning the video off.]

[That's... unusual...]

Micchy.... why are you trying to put a sweater on a Mareep?

[Video]

[grapeeater]

[His face is bright red from both the effort and embarrassment.]

Because I want to keep its fur from getting wet, and it's cute...

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

You should probably buy a brush to get rid of that static, first.

[Nanako hears distress and is staring at Micchy accusingly over her trainers shoulder.]

[She mostly manages to hold in a chuckle.]

You know, I think you'll find sheep wool is a lot more resistant to water than you might expect.

[Video]

[grapeeater]

But it's an electric type, right? Wet wool would be a pretty good conductor, and I don't want sparks getting everywhere...

[Video]

[friendyousohard]

I can't deny that you have a point there, but I have to wonder if the static unleashed by trying to force a sweater on over the wool might not be just as bad. Perhaps an umbrella might be a better idea? Perhaps if you can find one that you can hook onto her collar...

[Gundam is completely torn between "what on earth are you doing" and "the idea of a Mareep wearing a sweater is adorable," so he's not entirely sure where to go here.]

If it does not wish to don some armor, than any attempt can only end in failure.

[So he decided to point out the obvious while he's still making up his mind.]

[video]

[grapeeater]

[... What the hell that speech pattern -]

I... I guess... but I was trying to keep it dry...

[video]

[infinityunlimitedflame]

[It's Gundamese.]

And did you succeed?

[samsa]

[...okay, he has no right to even start to comment on that outfit, so he won't. There's...a lot happening here to comment on, otherwise.]

...What are you doing, Micchy-san?

[grapeeater]

[Why are there so many people who are confused by this -]

... Putting a sweater on a Mareep.

[So... exactly what it looks like.]

[samsa]

[There's less confusion here and more just a sense of...why.]

I'm...not sure it's going to fit.

[Is that a human sweater he's trying to put on it...?]

[fairy_tale_trainer]

I think the sheep is not so fond of that sweater. You know sweaters can cause static on their own, right? Maybe you can find something made for her? I've noticed that there is practically anything here for pokèmon!

[grapeeater]

Maybe. It... was the first thing that looked good that I could find.

[fairy_tale_trainer]

Oh! What about finding something with buttons!

[Madoka can't help but laugh at the display kindly shown to the network via Micchy's Kadabra. She isn't exactly trying to hide it.]

Micchy-san! What are you doing?

[Video]

[grapeeater]

[Um.]

I was trying to keep this Mareep dry...

[Video]

[endsuffering]

With a sweater vest?

[Madoka is very obviously tickled by the notion. It's all very silly. Oh u.]

Why don't you just put a blanket on it? That would be a lot easier!

[ladywithnovoice]

You know, it might be easier if you got a custom made sweater instead of something store bought. Then you could be sure it would fit.

[grapeeater]

I guess, but it was the first one I could find that looked good. I just want to keep it dry...

[ladywithnovoice]

Have you thought about taking up knitting yourself?

[shuttermouse]

Why are you trying to put that ugly sweater on that Mareep?

[ And here's a girl who looks about twelve, idly stroking the Meowth sprawled across her lap while she talks. ]

[grapeeater]

It's not ugly! And I want to keep it warm...

[Action]

[garbagechild]

_{[WRATH COULDN'T HELP BUT HEAR THE COMMOTION, so he leans in. And watches the whole thing in gentle fascination before speaking up, earnestly.]}

Maybe she doesn't like it because that sweater is ugly.

_{[wRATH THAT'S NOT POLITE]}

[grapeeater]

[NO WRATH THAT'S REALLY NOT.]

It looks a lot like a sweater my brother got for me. It's not ugly.

[Wrath do we need to have another fashion lesson?]
