[It's early morning on the first of January; Claire is standing outside the Violet Pokemon Center, bundled up, with a little cloud-like Pokemon snuggled in her arms, looking around curiously.]

Happy new year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I'm feeling much better now, and my Christmas egg hatched!

[She nudges the Castform, and it lets

It's like a cloud...

Huh, I guess there really is a pokemon for everything.

[believeinwarmth]

It makes me wonder how something like this reproduces and makes eggs in the first place.

I find the evolutions to be a little strange, too. My sheep isn't a sheep anymore, and my raccoon turned into a ferret.

[justicereigns]

Beats me.

This place has little to do with rationale I've found.

[believeinwarmth]

I suppose biology is just different here. It is a completely different planet, after all.

Ahh! [This eloquent exclamation brought to you by this rainbow-headed girl who is now pointing at you and your Castform.]
You got one too! Heh, I thought I was the only one!

[The camera pans upward to show Dash's own baby Castform sitting atop her head. Upon catching sight of a fellow Castform, the little cloud begins to hop excitedly up and down.]
As for namin' 'em... Mine's name is Nimbus. Ya know, since she's a cloud and all.

[believeinwarmth]

Oh! [Claire nudges her Castform awake; it opens its eyes and blinks at the screen. It begins to babble happily.]

What a lucky coincidence! I wonder how different they'll be, since they're the same species. Is she being a good girl?

[The Castform wiggles a bit and Claire laughs.] This one is usually sleeping or poking into things, but I don't think she means anything bad by it. She's just curious.

[Nimbus makes a bizarre crooning noise, and goes back to hopping up and down, chirruping happily. This could be translated to something along the lines of, "OMIGOSH SISTERRRRSSS."]
Well, uh... Heh. Not... exactly. She's kind of a menace. I think she's too young to really get what she's doing though...

[Without warning and rather ungracefully, Nimbus leaps from Dash's head and throws herself at the Pokegear. She hits the screen, then tumbles into Dash's lap, still chattering to herself.]
Wh-- Geez-- That is the third time--!! [SIGH.]

[believeinwarmth]

Well, I'm sure you'll have plenty of time to teach her better.

[Claire gasps at the sudden motion and looks worriedly at the other Pokemon, while her own Castform giggles.]

Is it alright?
