Since it is an older injury, there would be no way to really fuse the shell back together--that would have required immediate attention. But in this case, using epoxy would help seal the crack and basically create a sort of fake portion of the shell that will set and become apart of what's already there.

[It wasn't a perfect fix but it would definitely help--and could even be painted to match!]

Worst case is that it may take a few coats to help it match evenly so it's flush with her shell but I'm rather confident it would be easy enough to do!

[Beside Newt, Malie beamed.

See! Everything was going to be great!]

It wouldn't hurt, right? [ He doesn't know anything about this, he just doesn't want to hurt his massive Loch Ness baby. Scuabtuinne peered from behind Ash, clearly considering it. ]

Ur...how much would...that kind of thing cost though? I've taken her to the Pokemon Centre several times, including right after I got her, and they never mentioned this.

It wouldn't cause her any sort of pain. It would all superficial; merely rebuilding the gap between the cracked portions of her shell.

[Oh he's invested in this now because this is the sort of thing he did back home with a lot of his rescued creatures.]

Really the only cost would be the epoxy. I..have no idea how much that sort of thing costs but we could certainly look into it and I would be more than willing to help.

[ Ash ducked his head a little. Old shame burned at him and he folded his arms. ] I'd get it done. I'd just need to know the cost so I could get the money.

Would you want it done? [ He glanced to Scuabtuinne. She hummed softly, still unsure. Before giving a small, shy nod. It sounded like a good idea. ]

[Newt tilted his head, watching Ash thoughtfully before making a decision.]

If you give me a day, I can figure out the best procedure and then I can come pay you both a visit to see about fixing that crack. I can pick up the supplies here in Azalea and we can worry about the price of things once I'm there.

[ Ash nodded. ]

Take the time you need. I'd do anything for her to get her confidence. [ Scuabtuinne gave a soft sound, nudging Ash affectionately. ]

I'll be in touch once I have more details, Ash.

[Newt smiles reassuringly at them.]

We'll get this taken care of, I promise.

[ Ash relaxed slightly, nodding. He gave newt a slight smile. ] Yeah...Yeah. Thanks for all this.

[ Woops he's forgotten to ask about Shockmau5. But they can catch up and discuss his odd little Pikachu another time. ]
