003 | Violet City | Video / Action;

[Greetings, Johto! This video is coming to you from some secluded part of the streets of Violet City, courtesy of PhantomCam™, and features one Yagyuu Hiroshi sitting comfortably on a bench beneath the shade of a tree, engrossed in a book with his backpack resting securely at his feet. Perhaps most notably, he's not wearing his yellow-and-black Regulars jersey today, which is largely because it's currently piled next to him on the bench in something vaguely approximating a nest, with what can only be a Pokemon egg resting safely inside.

Yagyuu, for his part, is mostly oblivious to the fact that he's currently on candid cam, but the reason for it quickly becomes apparent—the egg in its nest is beginning to rock gently from side to side, making vaguely egg-like noises, and gradually beginning to glow.

(Fortunately, Phantom is wise enough to the workings of Pokemon hatchings that he's taken the initative to record this for posterity, regardless of whether or not his trainer is as quick on the uptake about it.)

Another few moments pass, and now at last Yagyuu takes notice, setting his book aside and turning his full attention to watch as the egg wobbles, brightens, cracks—]



Vee! Eevee!

[—and yields a bouncing newborn Eevee, still snug and secure in the jersey-nest, taking her first look at the world.

Book completely forgotten now, Yagyuu carefully extends a hand to his newest Pokemon, letting her inspect him a minute; after a few courtesy sniffs and nudges, the Eevee hops out of her nest and climbs up into Yagyuu's lap instead, settling in to ensure his full attention as she carefully inspects the human who's going to be her trainer. A minute later, Yagyuu's hands come to rest on her back, stroking through her fur as he conducts an appraisal of his own. This is, after all, his first attempt at breeding a Pokemon, and he's clearly intent on thoroughly examining just how well it turned out.]


Ah, aren't you a friendly one. Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you, too.

[And as Yagyuu continues to fuss over his new Eevee, Phantom apparently decides that his work here is done, and switches the feed off.]

I did. Liked 'cutie' better.

[ Niou obligingly pets her head, then pauses to scratch gently at her forehead and behind her ears. ]

And somehow, I'm entirely unsurprised. Lady, meet Niou-kun.

[He pauses, a thought occurring to him.]

Niou-kun, your daughter by proxy.

Knew I'd have cute kids someday.

[ He scratches Lady under the chin. ]

Of course not. I'm sure you can help your team level up very quickly if you try.

[He approves. Whatever works, after all.]

Yes. Though I imagine it's different for Pokemon.

Forgive me for hoping she doesn't take after you.

[And her eyes begin to fall closed as she proceeds to adore the attention.]

Oh, but must it be the same? It might be a little boring, getting it back in the same state that it was before.

Maybe the difference gives it meaning.

In other words, you'd like to leave your mark on it, Fuji-kun? I suppose I wouldn't mind that.

They'll work hard. I don't have much experience in a captain's role, but I do at least have excellent models to emulate.

How does that even--- Never mind. I don't think I want to know.

[... Right, video game logic. Should he even question this? He really wants to.] Where did you get her from?

A breeding experiment, actually. I was given a manual on my arrival with instructions how to breed various types of Pokemon. This one here is the result of my first attempt at it.

There's a manual on that? I don't remember seeing anything like it.

It came in a package. Manual, notebook, pencil, apron...

Forgiven.

[ Niou seems almost as pleased as she does. ]

[And at that, he laughs.]

How flattering. Unless, of course, you were talking about another captain - perhaps Atobe, or Tezuka?

[Now it's Yagyuu's turn to smile.]

And while I'm at it, forgive me for hoping she doesn't take after your Ditto and turn out purple somehow.

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
No, I think not. Emulating Atobe-kun might require a bit more flamboyance than I have in me to provide, you know.

action; l m a o Alex you are too much

[identity profile] futariniousama.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, nothin' wrong with purple.

[ As if on cue, Niou's wristwatch detaches itself and falls to the ground in a metallic heap, where it dissolves and reforms into an Eevee. ]

action; I enjoy dramatic irony

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps not, but I much prefer the brown.

[Lady's ears go up at once, and she sneaks out from under Niou's hand, hunkering down and peering over the edge of her jersey-nest to investigate this new interesting thing. It looks like her, but it doesn't smell right.]

[identity profile] loseyoursenses.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
I imagine it would be difficult for anyone. Niou might be able to manage it if he tried very hard, though.

[action]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
I've long since learned never to underestimate Niou-kun when it comes to matters of imitation. Though I'm told he's even tried to persuade you into it before?

[identity profile] superrising.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
I don't remember seeing any of those. It didn't come with the bag, did it?

Video

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
It came with my bag, at least. Perhaps it's simply not your destiny to be a Pokemon breeder, Fuji-kun?

Video

[identity profile] superrising.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
So only a few people get to be Breeders? [So weird.] What if people want to be Breeders even without that?

Video

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Is that a request to borrow my manual? I don't mind sharing, if you're that interested.

[Pfffft, caught.] I was just curious as to what's inside.
