"And I have a PLATYPUS!" Pyro shouted in the surprisingly bustling courtyard adjacent to the now-abandoned Viridian City Gym, which appeared somewhat dilapidated from disuse.
Many of the startled passers by stopped to stare at him incredulously. He then pulled out the duck-billed monotreme from his backpack and held it up for everyone to see. The poor creature struggled in his grip and chittered though Pyro did not seem to fear its venomous spur. He ran up to a nearby female Cooltrainer.
"PET MY PLATYPUS!"
The Cooltrainer paused and screamed before running away in fear. Pyro spent he next half hour running around the courtyard chasing hapless pedestrians while holding his platypus until the entire place was empty. Not even the police dared to approach him. It was not long before he found a nearby payphone, loaded it with change, and dialed a random number-- which was coincidentally Saffron Sushi. He waited for three rings before he heard someone pick up and say, "Hello?"
"PET MY PLATYPUS!" He paused as the voice rang a bell in his chaotic mind, "Quickie? Want to pet my platypus, pullllll-eeze?"
