EbenEben slither-trotted along the carpet into the living room, licking his lips. He had taken a dip in the lake to refresh and moisten his body, but when he decided it was finally time to get back to the main house, it had taken him almost an hour to walk to the house. This ranch was huge! No wonder Jack had told him this place would need the expert crime-fighting abilities of the Blue Blur, legendary Gastro-superhero. But for now, he was not a blur, but the slow-moving Gastrodon Eben in the mood for a little staring at the boob tube.
Legs scrambling, he climbed upon the sofa, having left a thin slime trail behind him and around him on the leather cushion. His three eyes laid on the TV—and he stared in awe. That TV was even bigger than the one in Jack's room! Oh boy! He grabbed at the remote from the coffee table, his short legs making him fall off the couch again. Once he had re-settled himself, he tapped at the buttons. He knew which one was the Power button; Eben knew TV remote buttons like old friends, although it seemed that his new humans had a different cable system than Jack did. His favorite cartoon channel wasn't playing cartoons. It was a shopping channel, where a man and a woman were gawking at diamond jewelry.
"Boooring!" he moaned, rolling his eyes. He pressed the Channel Up key, skipping channels with dumb-looking commercials and dull-looking programs. Finally, he stopped on one that was playing a show about a ridiculous cartoon sponge. Eben grinned. "Ah, this is more like it."

"Cartoons?" A masculine voice, tone full of amusement, preceded a Luxray as the Electric-type walked into the room. He paused, staring at the oddly mesmerizing, if bizarre, cartoon before refocusing on the Gastrodon perched on the sofa.
"Name's Wally," the Luxray said, and made himself comfortable on the other side of the couch. "I had a Gastrodon teammate when Kris, the rest of the team, and I went around the Sinnoh region, although she was pink. She's hanging out with some professor in the Hoenn region, the guy who gave Trek to Kris, right now. Maybe she'll join us here soon enough.
"You interested in movies?" Wally asked, casting a rather skeptical glance back at the cartoon. "I came in here to watch an adventure movie that's coming on soon..."

EbenPulling his three eyes away from the screen, Eben waved at the Luxray that had trotted into the living room. "Hi there. I'm Eben," he returned once Wally introduced himself. He had a bit of trouble listening to his story about his former teammate, distracted by the cartoon, but soon a commercial came on and Eben was better able to focus. A pink Gastrodon? He had seen pink Shellos in his day—in fact, he had been the only blue one he knew of in his area.
He replied with, "That's neat. I never had a team. Well, Jack was my team. Not Jack really, though; he was just my playmate when we were younger. Jacknificent, the mighty superhero, was partner to the Blue Blur!" He puffed out his chest proudly. "Walking to school by day, and fighting crime by… days Jack didn't have school! Ah, the good old days." He nodded, reminiscent. At the mention of adventure movies, the Gastrodon's face lit up. "I love adventure movies! Might I know the name of it? I watch a lot of TV…"
