103rd moon [video]

[Cecil does not speak nor does he show himself when he first turn the Pokégear on, but his purpose should still be clear. Three piles of eggs, two small and one extremely large, are proudly displayed with signs that claim prices of P500, P1000 and P1500 respectively. Rosie the Clefable and Noelle the Blissey are also present, repeatedly pointing at the eggs and at the signs as if to show off their wares. Other Pokémon, while unseen, make various comments as it goes on, mostly to praise the strength of their unhatched children.

Cecil lets them do so for a minute, before he finally comments on the whole situation.]

...Noelle, is this an inappropriate time to mention I've been craving poached eggs the whole day?

[Mercifully, he turns off the Pokégear before the ensuing screaming becomes too loud.]


((Eggs a-plenty still available here!))

Trying to find homes for a few surprises?

[Or a lot of surprises. It looks like a lot.

Also those two pink pokemon are very cute what are thoooooooose]

[paladinlost]

I've not had a 'few' surprises at a time for many years, believe me. But it would make me very happy if they all found loving trainers and teams.

[He cares about them all, really. There's just so many...]

[usedlightscreen]

Well, I could probably help you out with that.

[He DOES owe Carolina something for the Eevee egg after all.]

[paladinlost]

[Now there's good news. Rosie lets out a hopeful Fableeeee? somewhere offscreen.]

Is that so? Are you looking for a type or species in particular? For a certain number of egg moves?

[usedlightscreen]

...Hm. Well, I owe my friend something; got anything that's fast and kind of striking? My friend's an unstoppable force of nature, and I want to get her something to match.

[paladinlost]

...Considering their expected movesets, 'unstoppable force of nature' should fit them all. Would she prefer a species that's fast in combat, or one that'll allow her to travel faster? I can even offer a Fly-compatible bird, though it'll not know the move upon hatching.

[Since he's pretty sure his Goodra is the father, and. Well.]

[usedlightscreen]

[...]

Fast in combat. I was thinking more like a literal force of nature, like thunderstorms- I guess I still haven't read up on all these little guys.

[paladinlost]

...I do have three Electrc-types to offer, though storms might be beyond their strength at first. I'm also mostly certain the Happiny will have the ability to create hailstorms upon hatching, and the Tyrunt should know Earthquake... What types is she training at the moment?

[usedlightscreen]

[He looks immediately interested at "electric-types," but doesn't interrupt.]

Right now she has a little fire-type, and our friend York gave her a..."Pancham?" But it hasn't hatched yet.

What electric-types do you have?

[paladinlost]

Blitzle, Shinx and Tynamo. Of the three, Blitzle is by far the fastest, swift enough to outspeed most of the Water-types who would give a Fire-type starter trouble.

[usedlightscreen]

Blitzle sounds right up her alley. I'll take one.

[...and now to get some new eggs for himself.]

Can you tell me more about the two proud mamas showing off their eggs? One was a Blissey, right? The evolution of Chansey?

[North's going to evolve into a Joy someday.]

[paladinlost]

Excellent. I'll start preparing the egg immediately.

[Or at least, his Tangrowth apparently will.]

That's right, Noelle is indeed a Blissey. One of the most defensive species, and an unending source of high-quality fresh eggs. Rosie is a Clefable; with the proper TMs she can cover nearly every type, and her ability protects her from any sort of indirect damage.

[usedlightscreen]

And did both of your lovely ladies contribute to the big pile, there? You mentioned Happiny, earlier.

[paladinlost]

They did, yes. I have one Happiny, along with three Cleffas, and I can guarantee that they'll all know at least five egg moves. Rhe girls tend to select their partners carefully.

[usedlightscreen]

...hmmm.

I've been working at the Pokemon Center and I've been thinking about raising a Blissey. If your girls wouldn't mind, I'd love to take the Happiny and one of the Cleffas off your hands too.

[Since he's been working instead of sleeping he's got the cash for it]

[paladinlost]

[Behind Cecil's back, Rosie and Noelle look at each other for a few seconds before nodding. Without even turning to face them, Cecil smiles.]

I do believe you've earned maternal approval on this side. Luckily for you; they can be... picky, when it comes to their children's welfare.

[usedlightscreen]

I wouldn't expect anything less. I'll take good care of their little ones.

[paladinlost]

It's much appreciated. I'd rather not have to hold them back while they try to hunt you down, after all.
