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.]

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.

[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.

[video]

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.]

[video]

[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.

[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.

[video]

[identity profile] sfaccendato.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
It is~ Any idea what you'll evolve her into?

[video]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
Already? No. I think I'll simply raise her to be as strong as she can, and let her find her style for herself.

[...Are we talking about Pokemon or about tennis, Yagyuu. Seriously.]

[video]

[identity profile] sfaccendato.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Fair enough. Though you will need stones for most of them.

[video]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, yes. Fire, water, and electric, if I'm not mistaken?

[video]

[identity profile] sfaccendato.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
I think there are actually two more, as well, though I haven't seen them for myself.

[video]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
Something like that. But regardless, the options are plentiful and I intend to give her all the opportunity she needs to find the one that's right for her.

[video]

[identity profile] sfaccendato.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. No sense in deciding right away, really.

[video]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
Given our current circumstances, time is hardly something to be concerned over.

Ah, but speaking of things going quickly, I imagine you've seen your cousin by now?

[video]

[identity profile] sfaccendato.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, yes, I did run into him. Rather literally.

[video]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. Then I'll count myself lucky I wasn't the only one.

[video]

[identity profile] sfaccendato.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
Oh dear, did he crash into you too?

[video]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
Quite dramatically. He does that often?

[video]

[identity profile] sfaccendato.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately, he's never quite mastered the art of slowing to a stop.

[video]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
And instead uses passerby to break his stride, as it were. That's an interesting way of going about things.

[video]

[identity profile] sfaccendato.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 08:40 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed it is. If somewhat painful for the passerby.

[video]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
'Somewhat' is an understatement.

[video]

[identity profile] sfaccendato.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
It depends how much momentum he has left at the point.
