[It's fairly late in the evening when N decides to make a broadcast. In a shift from previous messages, he's looking rather chipper, beaming at the screen. He's sitting in the center of a bed (one of those provided to travelers by the Pokemon Center), legs folded. An egg with a dark purple shell sits in his lap, wrapped up in a sort of makeshift nest formed by some of N's clothes.]

Look. [The Xtransceiver is adjusted to better show the egg in his lap. There is a patient silence from N, until the egg makes the smallest movement-- a slight twitch. N's face lights up with wonder.] There! It moved! Did you see?

[The swell of pride in his expression is almost akin to a doting parent's.] It's amazing, really, that there's a Pokemon inside this. I hope I'm caring for it correctly... [All the Pokemon N ever cared for were full-grown; this is his first experience watching over an unhatched one.] Linoone and I have been keeping it warm and watching over it. Oh! And I can hear the Pokemon inside it sometimes too! When it moves. That's good, right?

[And here he's supposed to be the expert of Unova. He pauses as the aforementioned Linoone steps onscreen, with... what appear to be several DVDs in its mouth.]
Ah. Right. Paprika, I found a video store nearby! I... wasn't sure which genres to look for, so I had Linoone pick out some. [Yeah, fool proof plan there, N.] Is that okay? I think he got you a zombie movie. [He picks out one of the DVDs and scrutinizes it.] ... But I do not approve of the portrayal of the Pokemon on the cover. It is... unsettling. [A movie with zombie humans and zombie Pokemon! Linoone hit the jackpot.]


((OoC: Moving Team Socially Awkward Failboat to Striaton, if that's alright with everybody! If it's not and I'm moving too fast or something, please let me know!))

[action] FINE WITH ME.

So... that's what this is? [See Dragonite peering over at you - from nearby, of course. Of course, as soon as the others go to sleep, she'll be sleeping outside. It just feels more... normal to her. But whatevs.

Also, Swablu is warming Dragonites egg.]

[Paprika finds N and his merry band of Pokemon a few minutes later, an egg of her own held with surprising care coming from someone who might have mistaken it for an oddly coloured football that morning. Perched on her Trainer's shoulder, Robin offers a merry chirp to announce their arrival.]

So does every movie have Pokemon in it now? Because I can think of, like, a thousand things that just got way cooler now.

Oh, good! N! [Thomas appears on the screen, looking slightly frazzled.] I didn't want to bother you, but, ha, here you are. Couple questions! [He takes a moment to compose himself: running his hand over his hair and replacing his cap, brushing some dust from his coat sleeve. Then he takes a deep breath and looks back to the screen.]

So! I am on the Route... um, 2, back where we were, and... well, all right, first off! My dog -- I mean, Ratter, the Lillipup, she... kind of... grew up? All at once? She's not enormous or anything; actually she looks quite a bit like any old terrier... I don't know, I guess that's supposed to happen? The Xtransceiver just says "Herdier" now where it used to say "Lillipup". [He smiles lopsidedly for a moment, endlessly amused by the names of the Pokemon.] Just thought I'd bring it up! Figured you'd know either way. She acts just the same, rather like nothing happened at all.

But, um, more pressing matter. That egg I received... I brought it out with me, you know, to keep an eye on it, and... Well, just look! [Thomas lifts the Xtransceiver and turns it, taking a few seconds to stabilize the camera towards what he's trying to show: a bluish-grey egg lying on its side, cushioned by Thomas's backpack which is lying on the ground. On top of the egg, seated quite comfortably, is a Pidgey glaring daggers toward the camera.] I just came back and there it was, like a great bloody hen. It won't let me get near it; I tried to and it swooped up and started pecking at my head. I'd get Dodger to run her off but I don't want to hurt the egg. [The screen returns to Thomas's face.] Could you, I don't know, talk to it?

[VIDEO EGG DISCUSSION]

"Oh my goodness you too? And there's a Pokemon in here? How precious!" Estelle gasped, barging in on N's video feed, proudly displaying a grey egg with blue fin designs to the feed.

"I'd like to do further research on this topic but if I take my experience on other types of eggs I think moving means the organism is well formed and trying out its muscles so it can hatch~!" Estelle giggled, remembering a book about chicken eggs she read in her world.
