third bubble; video. JOINT POST WITH JAKE. late morning.

[ When the video comes on it’s pretty clear that Aradia is pointing it at something not her. Mostly because what is on the screen? Is Jake English, freaking out with two baby pokemon - a buneary and a wooper - in his lap while two eggs are clearly in the process of hatching before him. The baby pokemon are being fairly noisy and clearly want attention and possibly to be fed. There’s some quiet laughter from behind the gear, but Aradia’s not making fun of the situation. She’s just. Amused. And excited!! Baby pokemon are totally her thing, okay. ]

They keep hatching! What do I do?! I’m quickly running out of arms to hold them with over here!

[ There’s some more laughter, but Aradia props the gear up nearby so it still has a shot and comes around front to sit down by the eggs. ]

Well, we’re lucky I have two arms, too, right? And I’ve got some food mixed up, too. Don’t worry!! You’re doing great. Look how cute they are!

[ She sounds fairly at ease, and apparently chose a good time to sit down, because it looks like we’re getting a baby bulbasaur into the mix. Hey there, little one! Aradia’s just going to reach over for the bulbasaur, going to clean it off as she hums. Jake sighs as he fights the buneary off from trying to steal his glasses. Those are off-limits to ALL Pokemon. ]

You’re a lifesaver and I don’t know what I’d do without you, Aradia. I didn’t expect four of them to hatch all at once, though!

[ He suddenly gives her a mock suspicious look. ]

Are any of yours hatching today, too?

No, I’ve got a few more days before any hatch. The Pichu eggs should hatch...in three or four days? And that’s the soonest. [ So they’ll have even more baby pokemon in three or four days. Yeah. Speaking of, there is one last egg...] Oh, that’s the Swablu egg, right? [ She’s excited to see the Swablu. She’s never seen one in person before. ]

Ah, yes, that’s certainly--

[ Oh. That’s definitely not a blue Swablu. ]

... [ Jake kind of. Stares at it. Aradia is also sort of staring at it, a thoughtful little frown on her face. She picks up the pokemon, juggling bulbasaur over gently, and the Swablu seems to be healthy, despite the colour... ]

He seems to be fine - I’m not sure why he’s yellow. I’ve never seen much variation in the colours for species so far! [ At all, really. Baby Swablu sorry you’re being manhandled, but at least she’s being gentle about it. And, oh. Maybe she should break out the pokesnacks...with no free hands. Give her a second to settle you in her lap and reach back for the stuff she prepared. Weird colours or no, pokemon need to eat! ]

Ohmygosh I have a Tweety Bird!!

[ No, Jake didn’t hear a word of what Aradia said. He’s too preoccupied with the fact that he’s got what looks like a canary. ]

I thought it was a Swablu? But it’s a Tweety Bird pokebeast? [ People who never watched cartoons as children, even the Troll equivalents: Aradia Megido.

While Jake starts to correct her, the pokegear falls off of the table it was on, cutting off. Whoops.

Red is Aradia, green is Jake! Replies will come from either Aradia or Jake, but probably both; thread-jacking will happen and is fine. Any friends in Violet can alternately hit up Jake's room in person if they know where it is and want in on all this baby pokemon action. ]

[Gosh look at all these cuti-- wait. Waaaaiiittt.... There's a lightbulb going off here...]

...so that's what she was trying to do.

[Jake is mostly heard in the background saying something about how glasses weren't meant for mischievous Bunearies.]

[Poor Jake. John is suddenly glad that none of his babies ever had a thing for glasse-- fuck he probably just jinxed himself by thinking that, didn't he?]

Ah, the Swablu was a gift from Rose and I. I wanted to give Jake something that could fly, you see. That way he wouldn't have to wait forever for the HM, plus he'd get a new pokemon out of the deal instead of the alternative of borrowing the HM. So two birds, one stone!

[See, he can be clever when he wants! Sometimes.]

Anyway, Rose was the one who did the actual breeding part, but for the life of me I couldn't figure out why she went with the combination that she did since it...didn't really result in a lot of egg moves. But the dad, my Togekiss, has a very particular quirk. Here, it'll probably all make sense if I just show you...

[He pulls a pokeball of his belt and releases a rather sparkly, vaguely gold, and larger than average Togekiss.]

I don't know if you have ever seen a normal one before, but usually they are pure white, and they don't sparkle like that.

[Jake pops into the screen, sadly without his glasses as his Buneary finally succeeds in stealing them. At least he doesn't need to see for this.

Also, a moment of observance!]


Is this something only breeders can do?
ghostytrainer: (that was a pretty funny joke!)

[Shrug.]

No idea! This is the first time we have ever bred Cupid. Though somehow I get the feeling that is going to be changing somewhat now. But yeah, apparently it does pass down, even if the baby isn't the same species. Hahaha, I am surprised Rose isn't beating your door down to get in there and take notes!
hoperaider: (Are you saying that you believe in me?)

[good luck, Aradia. Kristin loves those glasses and she'll keep them for as long as possible. He sighs as the Wooper in his hands blows bubbles with a huge smile on his face.]

Oh, she's free to come down at any time, really. I've pretty much encouraged Roxy and Aradia to take full advantage of my own roster to suit their breeding needs. I could extend this to Rose no problem.

Uu-, cute, they're so cute! [ maria here giggles - she doesn't see a problem with a baby pokémon overflood at all, okay. ]

There's so many of them too..!

[...Give him a second as he marvels at the glory of the shiny fluffbird.

Huh.]


Well, looks like you lucked out. Shiny Pokémon are about as rare as it gets.

[And he's certainly never seen any shiny Swablus before.]
healium: (heeee)

... it's like someone tried to redesign a Chocobo, yet wound up with something entirely new...

.. Jake is the one with all the eggs, uu-..? [ so that's the guy's name.. she nods a little at it, blinking idly as if she's trying to make it register in her mind. ]

Does Jake like baby Pokémon a lot?
eclectical: (Jade: Watch in interest.)

Oh, that's a shiny Pokémon! They're really rare.

You want one that can? Swablu's in the dragon and flying groups, so it wouldn't be too hard.

[Heh. Besides, if breeding with shinies somehow ups the chance at getting shinies, it might be worth a shot.]
islandshore: (Heh heh heh)

Well, I've got a Charmander egg left from last month that I wouldn't mind selling. If you're a Breeder, you could probably have a field day with its egg moves, anyway.

[Plus, Charizard learns Fly.]
