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.]

[Wait, hold on, what is she--why is there physical conta--WHY IS HIS LAP FULL OF EEVEE SO HE CAN'T GET AWAY.]

Ah...yes, of course. It's a pleasure.

[PLEASE STOP TOUCHING HIM.]

Oh, Aya evolved? [ he needs a moment for some (secondhand) prideful beaming. ]

That makes sense, though... Umbreon's like a grown-up Eevee, right? [ ... ] Does she have a name?

( video )

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
She was an Umbreon when I was introduced to her, yes. She seemed a good candidate for my first venture into breeding, too, considering how strong and well-kempt she was.

[Oh, look, Yagyuu's Eevee is poking her head into the video.]

And I'm afraid I haven't thought of a name yet, no. I suppose that's something to ponder over today.

...I assume Niou's Ditto was somehow involved, then.

Excellent detective work, Oshitari-kun.

Not much detective work necessary, really. Dittos have rather a reputation when it comes to breeding.

A versatile tool for a breeder to have, aren't they? Their adaptability is really quite something.

[ "strong and well-kempt"... he is so stupidly pleased at the fact that the Pokémon named after him is doing so well. ]

Y'know, once I had a dream where you had an Espeon... and we talked about the exact same thing. What to name her. Isn't that weird?

[video]

[identity profile] sfaccendato.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
It really is. They seem to make it almost unnecessary for any other type of breeding.

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Strong is definitely something Aya and her namesake have in common. Well-kempt...maybe not so much.]

You had a dream about me? [This pause is totally for emphasis. Totally.] And what did we end up deciding in your dream?

[video]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
I imagine I'd be remiss in my duties if I didn't at least experiment with the other types, though. This is, after all, my destiny.

[His dry humor, let him show you it.]

It was kind of a weird dream, okay... that weekend, everybody pretty much passed out and had strange and unexplainable [ that's not a word, Akaya... but anyways... ] dreams and stuff.

Lady. 'Cause you're the Gentleman, right?

( video )

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
A weekend of inexplicable dreams? How very odd.

[But now Akaya may find himself experiencing an equally odd sense of deja vu, as Yagyuu's current reaction to the rationale is essentially identical to that of his dream self--his eyebrows slightly raised, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips, and a very fond look toward the Pokemon in question.]

...I'm actually rather fond of that, Kirihara-kun, thank you. Lady it is.

[identity profile] sfaccendato.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, of course. You must become the best breeder that ever was.

[identity profile] restardom.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ JUST AS PLANNED. Rise will take mercy on him and, in a perfectly calculated move, draw back and switch her attention to the Eevee. ]

Aww, who's this?

[video]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
As you can see, I'm looking forward to it already.

[But then his tone grows a little more fond.]

Still, I think this is a fine start.

[Phantom YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO ATTACK PEOPLE WHO DO THIS. Or not, because that would be illegal. Regardless, it's a lot easier to be cordial when people are respecting Yagyuu's personal space, so he's slightly less terse than he was a minute ago.]

The newest member of my team, it appears. She just hatched a few minutes ago.

An Eevee, huh? This sure brings back memories. [ and she offers the baby a hand to sniff before she starts rubbing the base of her ears. ] Congratulations, though! She's beautiful.

Have you think up a name for her yet, Yagyuu?

[action]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
[The Eevee snuggles back a bit, situating herself even more firmly in Yagyuu's lap as Rise's hand approaches as though making it very clear just who this human belongs to. However, she's not about to turn away the pampering that is, understandably, her due. Not by a long shot.]

I'd expected an Umbreon like her mother, frankly, but it seems she's been forced to start back at the beginning of her evolutionary chain. Which is only to be expected, really, but interesting nonetheless.

[Voice]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
I believe I'll be calling her Lady. A friend of mine suggested it, and it seems fitting enough.

Yeah, apparently that happens every now and again. It's kinda -

[identity profile] restardom.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ she has to smile, affectionately, as she obligingly lavishes attention on this fluffy ball of adorable. ]

Ah, yeah-- any egg you get, it'll always start off at the first form. You won't need a stone for an Umbreon, but that one and Espeon are a little trickier.
