PKMN of the Week: Eelektross
/One of my favorite grocery stores to visit is the Great Wall grocery in Falls Church, Virginia. Not only do they have great prices on all of the fresh produce, plus produce you won't find in your usual grocery (dragon fruit, mangosteen, bok choy), you can get any of the Asian specialties you like. They carry all the ramen - every brand, every flavor. Any kind of green tea you could imagine. Teriyaki flavored nori strips. If you've never been to a mega Asian grocery before it is an experience not to be missed.
At the back of the store is a butcher's counter that runs the length of the store. Towards the right side - fresh shellfish. Towards the left - red meat. Around the middle, tanks and tanks of fish swimming around. That's right - you pick the fish in the tank you want, they plop it out, gut it, and kill it. I've seen more than one Feebas meet its end that way.
They used to have, but got in trouble for, a tank with eels. Those things are so grody. When I was growing up in Hawaii I was always told to have a healthy respect for the Moray Eels. Those monsters have two sets of jaws, literally in the same manner as the monster from the Alien movies. Let's be clear, here, eels are not my friends. They are not cool, they are not chill.
