✿ Chapter 014 [Video] (Day 192)

[burntviolet]

[ The video flickers open. Hanako made sure that the bracelet's camera wouldn't film her face, but below... to the thing that is sitting on her lap.



An over-sized, pink egg with flower patterns all around. She carefully holds it in place with her scarred hand. At the corner, you can see her pet dog Nashi eyeing at the oval thing curiously. ]

Erm... I'm fairly sure this is a Pokémon egg, and I found it at the door of my room today, along with some other items, but with no note attached. I wonder if this is part of the secret santa... Rose-san, can you confirm this?

[ A pause, as she gently rubs the flowery egg. ] I know this happened to Hibiki-san, too, but I wondered if anybody else received a Pokémon, among those who never owned one before. Finally... I would like to know which Pokémon this is, in the eventuality that it's going to require certain attentions - I don't want to be caught unprepared.

... I don't need to know who the giver is, but if you're watching this... thank you. I never thought I could have a Pokémon for myself, and I guess this was a nice surprise to wake up to... it fits with the recent decorations that appeared, doesn't it...?

[ You can't tell whether she's smiling or not, while she says that. The camera turns off. ]

Is that a flower pattern on the egg? How cute!

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

Yes... it could be a grass type Pokémon, considering that.

[ Allison knows a little bit about Pokemon, just not enough to actually answer any questions from this girl. So she's going to ask her own: ] Do all of them have eggs like that?

video;

[burntviolet]

Well, I can't answer that... this is the first time I see a Pokémon egg.

[Video]

[outoften]

[ This is making him kind of want a Pokémon too. It would probably be cool, right? ]

Well, if no one can give you any tips, you can always see if the library has books on Pokémon. Or see if you can figure things out by really paying attention to it.

[Video]

[burntviolet]

I have read books of them already, but I didn't see pictures of eggs like this one... [ Awkwardly petting said egg. ] I just need to know what kind of Pokémon this is.

[fortitudo]

Aw man... I'm usually pretty good with this kind of stuff, but I haven't a clue what kind of egg that is. [gen 5 pls.]

I really wanna know what kind of Pokemon is in there!

[burntviolet]

Thank you anyway, Lucas-kun. Is this one not from your region..?

video;

[this_chair]

Uwah... Hanako decided to post with video this time.

[Even if she wasn't...in the video. But this is surprising to Shiki!!]

video;

[burntviolet]

... This is not the first time I do that, Tohno-kun.

[ And you get to see only her hands, ha. ]

video;

[biifurcatiion]

Oh, like Fiduthhpawn. You need to incubate it in thomething.

[Look he's actually being helpful.]

video;

[burntviolet]

[ She doesn't even ask about Fiduthhpawn. ]

You mean putting it under a heat source? ... Would my blankets be enough?

video;

[considerate]

[ oh it would be a nice surprise though! if she didn't know what kind it was, but since Touya can understand not wanting to be unprepared-]

That's a Munna egg. It's a Psychic type, also it eats dreams.

video;

[burntviolet]

... A psychic type, you say?

[ ah... she talked with Bianca about it the other day. The other bit makes her frown in worry though. ]

If it eats dreams, it's not a safe Pokémon to have around- is it?

video;

[adventurous]

Heh, that's a Munna egg! [ and that fact narrows down who it could be from down to one. oh, Bianca. ]

They eat dreams as food, and can project them through a special substance they make called "dream mist". I raised one of 'em myself back home.

[ she remained generally nightmare-free because of her, too! ]

video;

[burntviolet]

[ Shhh don't tell her it's Bianca. The surprise! ]

... It's not going to eat all my dreams, right? [ Most of the dreams she gets are nightmares anyway, but there are some nice ones sometimes... ]

[Video]

[saving_sound]

[A happy gasp!]

You got an egg too, Ikezawa-san?

[Video]

[burntviolet]

Mhm. It was a surprise to see it at my door this morning... it's kinda like how you got one as well, right?

... Do you know how it hatches?

video

[holyfight]

Oh, that's adorable, Hanako-chan!

I can't wait to see what it is!

video

[burntviolet]

Me neither. From the flowery texture, I would guess it might be a grass type.

[ This is before they told her it's a Munna. ]

Video

[seventeenpills]

Oh wow! That's really interesting - Can I come and see it?

Video

[burntviolet]

Sure, Hisao... if it hatches, I might need help keeping it. [ Because raising a Pokemon AND a dog is going to be a handful. ]

video;

[darkbreak]

A Pokemon egg?

video;

[burntviolet]

Yes. I don't know when it will hatch, though.

D --> What is a pokemon
D --> It sounds like a confe%ion of some variety

[burntviolet]

[ Confe... what... also this kind of quirk reminds her of troll speech. So weird. ]

They're creatures that exist in another world. They're born from eggs, and humans can either train them to become stronger, or keep them as pets, I suppose.

video

[ironclad]

What a pretty egg...

While I'm unfamiliar with training that kind of species, if you need any help with raising a Pokémon...generally, if you treat it with love and kindness you should be fine.

Although I don't have any idea about whether there's a secret Pokémon breeding club here or not. [ It's an egg conspiracy! No not really, but it definitely is curious. ]

video

[burntviolet]

Thanks, Jasmine-san. I would need help with it, since Pokemon are different from humans in many ways. If it's a Pokemon that needs specific attention, I want to know what it is so I can do some research...

( video )

[competition]

... It kind of looks like Bianca's pink Marshmallow. [ Well, he means Musharna or something even if it's the evolved form of Munna, he wouldn't know. ]

But if you need any help, I think the other trainers can give you a hand.

[ Where is everyone even getting these eggs from. Pikachu pokes into the screen, looking curious as he stares at the egg intently. ]

( video )

[burntviolet]

[ Pink... Marshmellow... but the mention of Bianca is a hint. She won't ask. ]

If they don't see this, I'll call them privately later... thanks anyway. [ And obviously she never saw that yellow thing before. ] .-.. What Pokémon is that?

[titties]

One of those little guys, huh? I wonder what it'll be like when it hatches.

[burntviolet]

I wonder so too, Battler-san. I guess it would be... fun to guess.

video;

[watchher]

Pardon-- what's a Pokémon? I've never seen an egg like that before. [ He wants so badly to go research it, you can tell. ]

video;

[burntviolet]

In sum, they're creatures that come from another world, similar to animals but with certain powers. Humans train them to become stronger and make them battle each other... but they can also be kept as pets. [ Slowly petting the egg's surface. ] This is one of their eggs... I'm not from that world, so I'm surprised someone wanted to give me one.

video

[digifan]

Woah.... what a great present! I can't tell you much about hatching eggs, but like everyone said, you should keep it warm and make sure it doesn't hatch and run off without you knowing.

[Well, that sure isn't oddly specific....]

video

[burntviolet]

I'm going to try to keep it under the blankets... maybe that'll work. Thanks for the suggestion anyway. [ Rubbing the egg gently. ]
