2nd Soul Gem (Video/Action for Pewter)

[aheroofjustice]

(The PokeGear clicks on to show Sayaka with a confused look on her face, yet a small smile as well. Since the prom came and went, she trekked with her friends from Pallet through Viridian and were on their way to Pewter.)

So, just one question for anyone who's got a penguin for a Pokemon -they don't have to be a starter at all!- I know penguins get pretty big back home, but they don't get this big...do they? Ehehehe~

(The Gear swivels over to Sayaka's right to show that Squire had evolved to Prinplup, and he was currently sleeping against a tree trunk.)

Should I expect him to sleep like this all the time?

(Probably. He takes after his trainer, naturally.)

[As soon as Sayaka's finishes asking the network about her penguin, there's a small electric mouse zooming up to peek at the sleeping Prinplup, giving the poor thing a sharp wake-up call.

Except this one isn't a Pichu! It's Mami's newly hatched Emolga, flying about. And she isn't playing a trick on Squire. She is just sitting too close whenever her Jolteon teammate runs passed, barking a playful challenge. Baby Cappi the Emolga gives an instant happy cry and zooms off after her electric mentor... Leaving a trail of static in her wake, right in Squire's face.

Mami misses all of this, right up to the last second, since she's sitting just off screen from Sayaka's gear, and busy giving her own answer to the girl.]

Maybe it's just a growth spurt making him sleepy. But if he doesn't grow more active now, you might just have to teach him-

[And that's where the sparks went flying.]

(Poor Squire's oblivious to this, waking up due to the shock and looking around to find the culprit. Sayaka's turned off the 'Gear by now and glanced over at Mami curiously.)

...A growth spurt? We've taken on meager roadside trainers for the past couple of weeks since the prom! How much more 'active' can I make him? Maybe teach him some of my heroic traits?

[teablossom]

[-this smile equals an amused giggle Mami would certainly never give. No, she's just amused by the eggs she's arranging with her Petilil in the grass, clearly!]

Maybe- That would keep him busy, wouldn't it? Especially if he takes to keeping order about the group. That's a full-time job.

[Even with more space and things to do in Pewter, there was no denying the big personalities among their three teams... And she couldn't blame Squire if he was part of the skirmishes. Or if he happened to chase some of Mami's Pokemon, instead.

They're bringing it on themselves, right now, running/flying circles around Squire's tree.]

Heh, yeah it's a tough job but if anymon can do it, mine can~!

(Sayaka's attention was soon drawn to the eggs as Squire got to his feet and gave chase, Bubblebeam attacks flying forward at the same time!)

Do you need any help, Tomoe-san?

action

[teablossom]

[Clearly so- He certainly grabbed their attention! Cappi did a one-eighty at getting hit and gave a victimized "what was that for?!" to Squire, while Fulvia doubled back to see what the commotion was about.

And Mami watched with only vague concern, until Sayaka inquired about the eggs.]

Why thank you- I just can't figure out how best to arrange them. [She holds up the blue one with red dots, eerily like eyes.] I assume this one needs more sun, since it has a grass-type inside, but besides that there's no telling how much light and warmth they each need.

I would assume a lot, but that wouldn't make since with an ice-type, would it?

action

[aheroofjustice]

(Crossing his flippers while also coming to a stop, Squire motioned back toward the tree -and then pointed to Cappi- to plead his case: "you woke me up! I felt your electrical attack!" Sayaka was more or less oblivious to this, all her attention on Mami.)

Uh...wow, that's what a Grass-type egg looks like? (The 'eyes' are quite disturbing...) Maybe not, but since they're all eggs, shouldn't they get the same amount of sun? When they hatch, then we worry about the ice types.

action

[teablossom]

[While the squabble continues in the background ("What?! We didn't attack you! It might have been static- But we weren't aiming to hurt you!"), Mami gives a confused frown for Sayaka's sudden bulking. After all, she saw how cute that face is, when it's on the actual walking onion.]

Well yes- But this one's an Oddish, in particular. But... [She turns the egg in her hand, then looks down at the ones still at her knee.] I suppose, even if they do look different and hatch into different things, they are still all eggs now.

But if they're all supposed to be cared for like a standard egg- I'm surprised they don't need incubators.

action

[aheroofjustice]

(As Squire listens, then seems to laugh sheepishly -"Really? Sorry, then; as long as you didn't mean to, it's okay. J was wrong to just attack like that."- Sayaka's expression almost changed while listening to Mami's explanation...then resumed that same look upon hearing 'incubators.' Sound familiar?)

...Eheh, incubators? I thought we were just supposed to keep them warm and care for them like real babies -care for them, rock them and stuff!- so why would they need one?
