006 - video

Some eggs showed up while we were sleeping! Naka-chan and W-IND's, I think, since they seem the least confused about where they came from.

[ the video switches from Akito, who is holding his newly-hatched Chingling in one arm, to a Lampent hovering over two Eevee eggs and a Larvesta egg. ]

Spitfire is going to help them hatch quickly, so... Jack! Do you want an Eevee? We can't keep both eggs for ourselves.

[ IT'S HIS FIRST BATCH OF EGGS he is so excited. and confused. because really though where did they come from that is anatomically impossible. not that a Swablu carrying an 80lb teen is either, but still. ]

Can't keep both eggs? This coming from you?

I try not to keep more than two on me at once now!

Also, you need an Eevee.

Rules are made to be broken. Don't people say that?

[But he laughs, leaning closer to the screen.] Why do I need an Eevee?

I don't like having to box them up, so it's getting harder the more I get.

[ and here, Akito can offer him a sly smile. ] Look up 'Glaceon' in your Pokégear.

You're gonna have to buy a farm at this rate.

...Okay, yeah, good point. I've seem 'em before.

.......They are pretty cool.

Our Pokémon acquisition has slowed down dramatically, so we might not need to!

..So you want the Eevee, ne?

[...Oh, huff.] Yeah, I want the Eevee.

I'm probably gonna be coming to Goldenrod pretty soon, so I can just come pick it up, if you're still there?

The egg should be ready to hatch in around a week, and we're not going to be doing much traveling until after that, so we should be around.

If you wanted the item to evolve it into a Glaceon, we could buy it for you if you don't have enough money.

How much do they even cost? [He's still not used to using money, so he tries to avoid it whenever possible.]

Ah... A lot... Like 15,000 PokéYen.

Huh. That is a lot.

I couldn't ask you to go buying me stuff, though. What kind of friend does that?

Back home I would buy my friends things all the time! I like buying gifts for my friends if they can't afford it themselves. [ cell phones, costumes... pretty much anything. he loves to buy gifts T__T ]

[Well, if he felt that strongly about it...]

Let me at least meet it first, you know. What if it doesn't want to be a Glaceon?

Ah, well that's a given, ne?

But I'm sure once it gets to know you it will want to be a Glaceon!

[Jack laughs, shaking his head.]

I'm not all that icy here, you know.

Yet you have enough ice- and water-types to cause a whole blizzard if you wanted to.

Yeah, that's true. [And he's pretty darn proud of it, okay?] But that's them, not me.

Then maybe your cool personality would influence it?

[ yes he went there. you asked for it. ]

[No. No one asks for that. He's just going to stare now. There is totally not at all a smile tugging at his lips, either. Nope.]

[ you whipped out the bad puns first with Spitfire ok. ]

What? No good?

You're that excited about eggs?

They're the first eggs any of my Pokémon have had!

They will continue to have them. Sometimes when it's pretty damn inconvenient.

I don't know... Will they, really?

[ he has his doubts! ]

At least they should have good movesets when they hatch, ne?

Most of my egg batches have been random at best.

[ a pause. ]

Agito says if you get a shiny Axew, then he would consider buying it and trying out a Haxorus. [ because shiny Haxorus is actually cool looking... ]

What kind of results have you gotten from your eggs?

If I ever get one, I'll be sure to let you have it. Might have to get an actual breeder to help out on that though.

[ results... what kind... ]

What kind of results are you looking for?

Ah, what do you need a breeder's help for? [ since you seem to know enough about this sort of thing, Karkat! ]

I don't know! What's your favourite Pokémon that ever came from one of your batches?

I really haven't kept any from my egg clutches.

And I don't have another Haxorus.

Ah, really?

[ both of those answers are surprising! ]

You're a breeder too? That's a nice little clutch for a first batch. I thought clutches were usually bigger than that though.

[She isn't accounting for egg cycles because they're complicated and not something she really has to worry about just yet. But she eoes look the tiniest bit envious of Akito's success.]

A breeder?

No, I'm a trainer! How large at the clutches usually?

Oh, you were just so excited I thought- nevermind. Being a trainer isn't bad. [Which is to say she doesn't have high opinions of a path that requires pitting pokémon against each other until one faints but who is she to judge others?]

I think five or six is a fairly common clutch size if only one set of pokémon breed. I'd have to check the guide to be entirely sure, but I've seen some really huge batches announced recently too.

Thought what? [ he has a few Pokémon who dislike battling, but enjoy training with the rest of them. though Akito prefers hatching eggs, while Agito prefers battles... ]

I think two is a good size! One for me and one for my friend.

That I have found another one that I could possibly ask for more information. The whole breeding process seems so much more difficult than it should be.

Then it's the perfect size if that's what you wanted that all along.

Ah... Does it? I usually try to just go along with whatever happens... I never really thought much about the mechanics behind breeding.

That's okay, I'm sort of a nerd and spend hours pouring over the guides that were in my bag when I left New Bark Town. [Have a sheepish smile Akito.] It's about compatibility. I'm hoping a few of mine are compatible but I'm going to have to wait a bit still to find out since they're fairly young.

W-IND and Naka-chan are both still fairly young too, but they've really liked each other a lot since they were baby Eevee.

Hmm. I think I'm going to need to do a bit more research then. [Because why can't her Pidgey breed with any of her other pkeémon?] Especially if age has nothing to do with it.

You can learn a lot if you find work at one of the Pokémon Centres! That's how I've learned so much so quickly.

I'll have to look into that when I reach the next town. A little more hands on experience couldn't be a bad thing.
