( action for the Goldenrod Rocket base - in which Rideaux poorly handles a baby Deino )

[video]

[While Rideaux is never the cheeriest person when on camera, he at least appears pleasant enough. Today however is a completely different story. He's located at a desk in a nondescript room, slipping on his gloves at the moment the 'Gear starts recording. Bandages adorn one of his hands, and he looks pretty damn pissed off about it as he hastily slides the glove on to cover it.]

I have a bit of a dilemma. Does anyone here have any advice for dealing with a blind monster? Admittedly this is a new venture for me, and I suppose I wasn't expecting it to be as bad as it truly is. My monster, it...

[He's trying hard to hide the disgusted scowl that's formed on his face, but failing at it.]

...seems to enjoy relentlessly biting everything in its general vicinity. And while that's fine for battle, it doesn't do much good when it can't see its opponent and bites its trainer instead. I obtained this monster because I was intrigued by its final stage of evolution, but this is a bit ridiculous.

[He goes to tighten his hand into a fist and immediately regrets that action. Okay yeah, there is no hiding the obvious disdain here.]

If anyone who has owned a Deino has discovered an effective way to get it to listen without taking any sound as a cue to attack, I would appreciate hearing it. That goes for the person who sold me this egg as well.

[This is why you listen to breeders, Rideaux.]
