Fifteenth Flight. [video/action for Saffron City.]

[newberktown]

[Hey, Pokemon World. Did you miss vikings being derpy? Well, never fear! Here's Hiccup, grinning like a fool and looking way too excited as he backs up from where he's set his 'gear.]

Alright. So, everyone? Feel free to start calling me Bastian. [His smile somehow widens even more as he reaches down and lifts his newest team member, draping her over his shoulders and giving her a little scritch behind the fins.] I just got myself my very own luckdratini.

[The Dratini--an unusual purple-tinted pink--studies the 'gear with a twinkle in her eye. Well, really there's a twinkle everywhere else, too. Yep, like so many pokemon showing up on the network, this baby's a shiny.]

I'm going out to show Falkor the city, okay?

[Someone's been reading The Neverending Story lately...]

It's a good name for her. I approve.

So she must be one of those... weirdly-colored ones that've been popping up lately, huh?

Did you get her egg for Christmas?

[Video]

[newberktown]

Yeah, I did. I guess everyone's Christmas eggs really did come out shiny, huh? Everyone's Valentine's eggs were kind of strange, too, weren't they?

[Though if everyone got a shiny this holiday season...]

Hey, what'd yours hatch into, anyway?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yeah, although I think all of those were just new species.... or at least ones not native to Johto.

_{[She pauses to heft a small egg into view of the camera. It's a deep shade of maroon, with a sharp splash of green etched across it.]}

Mine hasn't, actually... mine never seem to hatch quickly. I can hear somethin' rustling around in there, though.

[Video]

[newberktown]

Woah... I knew mine would take a while, so I thought for sure they'd all have hatched by now. Do you carry it around with you and stuff?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

... Oh.

Uh.

Not really.

I always just leave eggs in the hotel room with some of my Pokemon when I go out...

Are you supposed to carry it around with you?

[Video]

[newberktown]

[...Heather...]

That's...what people say. The movement is good for them, or something. That could definitely be why your eggs take forever.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Uh.

Ahah.

WELLP.

Guess I'll be carting my eggs around with me from now on.

[Video]

[newberktown]

Haven't you been here for a really long time? I'm surprised you didn't already know that.

[Just in case that wasn't clear.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[Cue a reasonably sheepish grin and a big shrug.]}

I dunno, hatching babies was never really my thing, y'know? Most of my Pokemon are way more motherly than me.

'Sides, I had this one egg that didn't hatch for almost half a year, no matter what I did with it. I guess that one kinda skewed my perceptions for the rest.

[Video]

[newberktown]

I guess if you're not in the right mindset, it wouldn't exactly click. But jeez, what kind of egg was it?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

It was a Tyrogue.

I'm not sure the species had anything to do with it, to be honest. Whatever the heck was going on with it, it wasn't normal.

[Video]

[newberktown]

That's weird. I've never heard of something like that happening, before.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Neither had I.

It was kinda downright spooky, for awhile I thought whatever was in there had... like, died. But it didn't start reeking at any point, so...
