Marla took Altaria with her today. She seemed really pleased to see the egg, but I'm glad she's letting it go. It's going to be fun, I think, raising a Pokemon from the moment it hatches. Though I suppose Pidgeot and Nino are going to do the bulk of the raising, but I'm sure they'll need me for something. Cooking, if nothing else. Heh

I'm home~

Hi, Jun-kun.

[notmarvelous]

Hi Nino.

So what do you think is going to come out of this egg? A boy or a girl?

[ourcityscape]

I dunno. Are there any factors that change tha-- whoa, Pidgeot, you're being gentle today, aren't you?

[notmarvelous]

You told me he had to take off roughly! What a liar!

As for the egg, everyone has their theories. I personally like the one that plays off of how intuitive Pokemon are in general - the general idea is that if you talk to and about the egg as if it were a certain gender, then you're more likely to get it. The Pokemon inside will be motivated to please their trainer and all that.

[ourcityscape]

Hm, really? What if I want to be surprised? Pidgeot, what do you want?

[notmarvelous]

Heh, do you think that means "boy" or "girl"?

[ourcityscape]

We should ask him when we're on the ground.

[notmarvelous]

Heh, probably.

I wonder how much he thinks about the egg like that. Human parents do all sorts of wondering about their baby, but who knows what Pokemon do?

[ourcityscape]

He's probably just happy to have an egg, right?

[notmarvelous]

Probably. This must be so exciting for him.

Ah, Pidgeot! The market's right near the Pokemart, okay?

[ourcityscape]

Heh, Pidgeot, you have such a gleam in your eye. Is this going to be a spectacular landing?

[notmarvelous]

You have an egg to think about, Pidgeot!

[ourcityscape]

He knows that. Ah, here we go...

Heh, what the hell is this landing, huh? You made it seem like something exciting was happening, but it's as smooth as ever.

[notmarvelous]

What a thoughtful father. He must learn from the best.

[ourcityscape]

Aw, well, he's still a softie at heart.

Do you want to take a rest in your Pokeball, Pidgeot? We can take care of the egg for you.
