"We are pleased to announce that after a long and pleasant courtship, we are expecting our first hatchlings. We are also pleased to share that many of our siblings also expect new family members."

[It comes out a little stilted, quite possibly because Cecil is reading this from cue cards written in bright yellow crayon while tying ribbons around his Banette's ears. Let it not be said that the man cannot multitask.]

"However, to our great sorrow we have no room in the house to keep them all. Thus, we wish to give them to humans who will love and cherish them, and help them reach their full potential."

[He moves on to the next cue card, while the Banette ineffectively tries to wriggle away.]

"We seek only the best, most loving trainers for our young. Therefore, we request that every selected individual offer one of their own children in exchange, to serve as coll-" Wait, what? Mortblossom! Mindflayer!

[That gets Cecil standing and striding away towards the culprit, revealing the eggs hidden behind his back. This also leads to Avenger's freedom, and he promptly uses it to turn the Gear off.]



[[A few eggs are still available here!]]

Not sure I could stop a Moogle if I tried!

[paladinlost]

...Tidus could easily throw them away and Terra could grab them in a hug and never let go, but unless you have either of those talents...

[heartdive]

I might've touched a pom-pom.

[paladinlost]

Yet you've somehow remained alive and healthy? How impressive.

:)

[heartdive]

Lucky is more like it and I will never cross one again.

:)

[paladinlost]

It's good tp hear that you've learned that particular lesson. I can think of a few people who would try again.

[godaime]

Well, I'd be willing to give some of those over too. [ Her tone is completely serious! She will give Sasuke to anyone who asks - except, you know, the villains. ]

Hm... well, I'd rather trade. It's just, I enjoy the idea of surprises more than I enjoy the idea of cash. [ it might also be because if she spends money on eggs how will she get money to gamble with?!?!?!?! ]

[paladinlost]

The ones most likely to eat you out of house and home or to cause trouble, I've no doubt?

[No one ever gives away the nice kids.]

You'll have plenty of those surprises over time, I assure you. Every so often, we all wake up in the morning with a mysterious egg in our room and trace of the one responsible for the delivery.

Woah. Wait...what's Kanto? [Because everything else sounds like pretty standard crazy pokéworld stuff.]

It's the region east of Johto. You can reach it by boat from New Bark Town or by train from Goldenrod, and try to earn its eight badges. A few of us have chosen to live here.

[premiumheaven]

Oh wow! I wonder if Rude'll let me visit...

When did that happen, anyways?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Almost two years ago. There was some trouble during the train's maiden voyage, but ever sice then it been just as peaceful or lively as Johto.

[premiumheaven]

See! That's the thing! Everything started happening after I left. How's that fair?

[paladinlost]

It would have been boring if you'd come back to a world that had not changed. You'll have plenty to discover, at least.

[heartdive]

DO they have a death wish?

[paladinlost]

...Great faith in their ability to survive whatever the world can throw at them, perhaps...

[heartdive]

That might not be a bad thing.

[paladinlost]

Until that faith turns into overconfidence, but I'd like to think they'll never reach that point.

[godaime]

He's a good kid. He just needs isolation from everything else. [ sell dat child, tsunade!!! ]

Have we ever figured out who gives out these eggs? [ She's kinda surprised that eggs can just suddenly materialize out of nowhere. ]

[paladinlost]

Isolation is the last thing he'd get in this household. Now, if he needed Arcanine hair on his clothes...

[And his bed and his face and his food...]

Never. No deliverymen have been seen, no delays discovered for those staying in caves at the time. It's like the eggs are teleported there.

[Video]

[premiumheaven]

That's true! It'll be fun getting to know the area again, especially with it's expansion!

[heartdive]

I... I think that can happen to anyone. Just throwing that out there.

[paladinlost]

And its new Pokémon, too. I'd swear some species are much more widespread than they used to be.

[paladinlost]

Certainly. But sometimes it's nice to dream that people have been through enough to know better.

[heartdive]

Some people don't learn. I know I don't...
