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.]

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

I don't remember seeing any of those. It didn't come with the bag, did it?

It came with my bag, at least. Perhaps it's simply not your destiny to be a Pokemon breeder, Fuji-kun?

So only a few people get to be Breeders? [So weird.] What if people want to be Breeders even without that?

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.

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Owned.]

I should warn you, it's fairly dry reading. But the topics covered are interesting, at least, and I doubt you'll have much difficulty with it.

I've never heard of pokémon breeding until I saw eggs anyway, so it's better I learn about them just in case. [Even if all he has is a Minun egg and a Beldum that won't stop hitting everything.]

That's very thorough of you. Once you've familiarized yourself with the basics, you might try asking your brother for a loan of his Pokemon to produce an egg for yourself. Speaking from firsthand experience, it's a rewarding endeavor.

If I'm going to have to get used to this place [Even if he doesn't think he fully will, but he was never the type to let that hinder him.], I might as well try to know as much as I can.

... I'll try to catch my own pokémon for that.

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
...Oh? You'd rather do it entirely on your own?

[identity profile] superrising.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
It might help me better understand how to take care of them if I do it like that.

[Sure it would. He's not saying anything, but he's suspicious.]

That's an admirable perspective. You're welcome to borrow the manual at your convenience; just find me and ask for it, and I'll be happy to share.

[identity profile] superrising.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
[It's totally true, and not because he doesn't want to have to ask him for a favor at all times. He can take care of this.]

Thanks!

What are you planning on naming your Eevee, by the way?

Video

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
[So he'll just end up owing Yagyuu favors, instead. Yagyuu's certainly not arguing that.]

You're welcome. And Kirihara-kun has dubbed her "Lady", which I'm really quite fond of.

Video

[identity profile] superrising.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
[He will realize this at some point in time. It wasn't the best plan, sadly.]

Lady, huh? Makes me think of that one cartoon. [Dogs, if he remembers right, though Eevee's not really one.]

Video

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Probably right about when Yagyuu decides to collect.]

...Ah, perhaps I should explain. Are you particularly familiar with my team's regulars, Fuji-kun?

Video

[identity profile] superrising.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
A bit, but probably not as well as Mizuki-san. Why?

Video

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
If I'm not mistaken, you've earned yourself a name as St. Rudolph's Lefty-Killer, haven't you?

Video

[identity profile] superrising.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
... That's right. [Though that title's kind of not-so-true now considering his loss to Echizen... twice.] Why?

Video

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
On the tennis courts, I'm sometimes referred to as Rikkaidai Fuzoku's Gentleman. Now in possession of an Eevee by the name of Lady.

Video

[identity profile] superrising.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh! Right. That clicks now.] A Gentleman and his Lady. Okay, I get it now.

It's a subtle play on words, assuming one has the proper background to catch it.

[identity profile] superrising.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
I wasn't thinking of anything like that, though I should have guessed it earlier.
