[Like much of Johto and Kanto, Cecil's backyard has been invaded by a group of angry fossils. Two of them, in fact; a swarm of Cradilies and a band of Omastars have apparently started a war over that tiny piece of land, neither side willing to back down and move elsewhere. Add to that Cecil's team, protecting their home, along with the local Grimers trying to reclaim one of their favorite pond, and you get a very interesting image.

...Or at least you would, if Cecil wasn't busy filming the Lileep and Omanyte pair blissfully snuggling on his roof instead.]

I know we are to defeat or capture as many fossils as we can, but is stopping them all truly necessary? While they are obviously rebelling against their families, those two look harmless at least, and I've no doubt others-

[He has no doubt others are more than willing to use hastily snatched Grimers as ammo against innocent people's faces. Because that's what one of the Cradilies just did. And the damn Grimer doesn't even have the decency to not drip all over the Gear, either.]

...On second thought, we should burn them all.

[Which is exactly what he's about to do.]

[John is filming from somewhere outside in Celadon, riding on the shoulders of his Dusknoir while his newly-acquired Omanyte rides on his shoulder in return. Just another day in the fossil apocalypse, let's fight off as many of these as we can.]

Ewww... still having trouble with Grimers too, huh? Jeez. I don't blame you for wanting to burn them all. But you were right though, not all of them are bad! Worst Davy Jones here [He points to the Omanyte who gurgles and flails his tentacles in what can only be a friendly wave.] has done is splash water on the floor. Well... that and I am fairly sure he tried to mate with my fiancée's socks... [While they were still on her feet...] But yeah, some of them are just happy to be alive again and more curious than anything. Wish they would pass those feelings along to the rest of their buddies though.

[As if to prove his point, an Aerodactyl swoops down to take a swipe at John, only to get hit with a blast of Night Shade from the Dusknoir as John ducks to avoid the claws.]

The rampaging is, admittedly, getting a bit old.

[He waves back distractedly, as he tries to push the Grimer off.]

...A deviant sock fetishist. Well, I suppose it's still harmless enough, unless it ever manages to do more than try. Have you had the chance to rest since it all started?

[Because those freaking fossils are noisy, too.]

Well, to be fair, her socks were Omanyte toe socks. So far he has left all other socks alone... [Davy Jones is... not the brightest.]

But yes, I have managed to get some sleep in here and there between. Save for DJ, none of them have managed to get inside my hotel room yet, which is a good thing, knock on wood. How about you?

...Perhaps he'd get along with my Beheeyem, then.

[They could be dumb together or something.]

That's good to hear, even if there's a strong chance it will not last. My house is fine; they're too busy with the yard to try and attack it.

Probably, he seems to get along with everyone and everything, so far, I really do not think he is picky about what could be a potential friend.

[It doesn't even matter if it's alive or not...]

So what about the pair on your roof then? Thinking about keeping them, perhaps?

Like-minded friends must still be appreciated, though it's good that he keeps an open mind even now.

[Unlike the Omastar platoon he's dealing with.]

I was thinking of it, yes. Their families seem... unhappy with their relation, even though they care more about their territory disputes. Living with a friendly, welcoming group would be safer for them.

...so, what you're saying is... you basically have prehistoric Romeo and Juliet happening on your roof right now?

[That is... kind of cool, actually?]

I certainly have a prehistoric something on the roof. With the way they ran for each other the moment both groups arrived, this has to have started before they died. Unless perfect strangers were expected to cuddle back then.

That... adorable. Like that is the single most heart-touching thing I have heard since this whole mess began, oh my god...

[Cecil, it would be a crime for you not to keep them. A crime.]

I have to admit that they're quite sweet to watch. Why, I offered them a few treats earlier, and they completely ignored them in favor of more cuddling.

[But would it be more of a crime than keeping them and naming Mortblossom and Mindflayer?]
