[See newborn pokémon.
See newborn pokémon run around the room.
Run, newborn pokémon, run.]

Good afternoon Johto!

[Lion is currently sitting on the bed, besides a blanket nest with two identical eggs. Julia, the Hoothoot is still perched on the bedpost, with only one eye open, while a tiny Charmander and a tiny Skarmory are chasing each other all

From my personal experience...?

Be sure to feed them on time. Your face will suffer if you don't.

[pointed glare at the glameow chillaxing on his shoulder, who stretches in complete indifference and resumes her nap]

[Nods xD] That comes with the "attention", but I suppose it can never be stressed enough.

[Video]

[catsteward]

Indeed not.

And they have little care for present circumstances allowing for it, either. You won't get much sleep the first few nights.

I don't know how it is that some people make a career of raising them, but I wish you luck with it, Mis--

Erm...Mist--

[....ohgod of all the things to trip himself up on...]

[This again... At this point Lion is pretty much used to it, I swear. So saving you from the anguish of having to choose xD]

It isn't that much different than having small children around, then, is that right?

[Video]

[catsteward]

I suppose not, no [eagerly jumping on the continuation of the subject to wriggle out of the corner he'd backed himself into]

Although quite a bit harder to keep track of. As I'm sure you've seen for yourself.

Yes, they are a handful, but they are lovable in their own ways.

Julia, that's the Hoothoot, doesn't seem to mind keeping an eye on them during the nights, she has been doing so since they were eggs, but even she needs a rest sometimes.

It's a good thing I'm not planning to leave the city yet, I can't imagine how traveling with them must be.

I suppose that entirely depends on how sturdy in battle your current party is.

In my case, Princess was faring better against the wildlife a week out of her shell than the one they'd given me to start with had managed in nearly a month...

[Chuckles.] Natural aptitude is something to reckon isn't it?

But with this weather and the two babies distracting each other the idea of moving doesn't sound as attractive.

It picked a bloody good time to rear its head [he grumbles. Sarcasmz. He has dem.]

I'd hoped to make up for lost time getting here in the first place, but...

I can't exactly afford to have my own egg hatching in the middle of nowhere in these conditions. [taking a wild guess that your charmander is the product of Souji's massive egg sale, just as his is]

[Video]

[isthedeadcat]

[Oh it is xD] If you also got it in the recent sale, then it shouldn't take too long to hatch.

[Video]

[catsteward]

....!!

[that being said he suddenly casts an interested look off-camera at where his still-dormant charmander egg peeks out of the impromptu nest he'd made it with the spare blanket in a corner of the room. Noooo sign of movement yet, but...]

Thank you for the warning. I'll stay where I am until it hatches, then

[Nods.] That is probably for the best, even more if yours happens to be weak to either ice or water like these two are.
