[So today on the Gear, there's a broadcast from Gundam and he seems to be disturbed by something. More so than normal anyway.]

What sort of ill omen is this?

[He turns the camera towards a pile of Pokemon eggs. Yes, he's done this before. He's shown off his Pokemon eggs and claimed they're some sort of harbinger of doom and so on and so forth, but this is different!]

These were the ones I had planned to offer to any who dared seek out such things, but these...

[The camera turns towards another set of eggs.]

These remain beyond the sight of even my All Seeing Eye!

[...in other words, he has no idea which Pokemon of his were responsible for those eggs over there.]

However, if some of you wish to find out for yourselves exactly what sort of creature could do such a thing, then I suppose I could part with them as well.

[The feed ends there, but a short while later a list of eggs goes out, with the ghost types being listed as ?????]

Comments

[milliondollarpipes]

Are you...tellin' me Pokemon lay eggs? All of 'em?

[It makes sense if his Murkrow went and did that, but most of them look like mammals or...weird shit.]

[infinityunlimitedflame]

Were you were unaware of such a universal constant?

[A pause.]

I see. Your time in this world must have barely begun.

[milliondollarpipes]

I've been here two days. Figurin' out how they breed ain't exactly been a priority.

So what - do you sell 'em or somethin'? [He's sure they aren't really as scary as all that. They're just kinda sitting there.]

[infinityunlimitedflame]

So then, you are not a Breeder.

[He says that like being a Trainer somehow means less.]

And yes, they are indeed for sale, if you can truly bear to pay such a terrible price.

[milliondollarpipes]

Yeah? What's the price?

[Harvey's smirking a little - he hasn't got pocket money to be spending on random Eggs from some random kid, but he kinda wants to hear this.]

[infinityunlimitedflame]

Were you unable to discern the contents of my attachment?

[He means the egg list he sent out. Which is readable and mercifully not in some sort of weird magical language.]

[milliondollarpipes]

Attachment?

[Look, he's basically the worst at using technology...let him poke at this for a second or two.]

Oh, you mean this thing. Geez, I only know what one of those Pokemon even is... [It's both really interesting to find so many new types, and kinda unfair. It's like they released a ton of new games he just never saw or something!]

[infinityunlimitedflame]

If I may offer a suggestion?

[And yes, it's an actual suggestion and not something along the lines of use your inner sight to divine which beast on the list is aligned to you or some other crazy nonsense.]

[milliondollarpipes]

Sure.

[He's not really planning on making a purchase anyway...]

[infinityunlimitedflame]

For a novice, I would suggest the mountain creature that harnesses the sun's scalding fires.

[..Skiddo.

It uses photosynthesis.]

[milliondollarpipes]

...the what now?

[He doesn't even know what a Skiddo is.]

[infinityunlimitedflame]

The mountain creature that harnesses the sun's scalding fires.

[Was that any clearer?]

[milliondollarpipes]

[..........siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh]

Is that a Gible? [It's apparently got Ground-type moves, does that make it a mountain creature?]

[infinityunlimitedflame]

Is that supposed to be some sort of joke?

[milliondollarpipes]

Look kid, I got here two days ago. I couldn't tell ya if one of these things was a flyin' pig.

[infinityunlimitedflame]

[Fine. Spoil his fun.]

I believe the mundane would refer to it as a Skiddo and compare it to a goat. But do not be deceived by such similarities!

[milliondollarpipes]

[Thank you.]

I'll watch myself.

So why that one? Are they just easy to train?

[infinityunlimitedflame]

Such ignorance! No Pokemon is easy to train! ...that being said, given their unique natures, they require less upkeep than others.

[milliondollarpipes]

[So what he hears you saying is that they're easier to train.]

Great. Thanks for the advice.

[infinityunlimitedflame]

[More or less, yes, that's exactly what he's saying.]

So, are you interested in obtaining such a creature?

[milliondollarpipes]

[He hadn't been planning on it...but after such a long conversation about it, he kinda feels like a jerk turning the kid down. He's got enough cash, the Skiddo aren't much.

...also maybe he really kinda wants to see one hatch.]

Yeah, sure. I'll take one.

[infinityunlimitedflame]

Then consider one yours.

[milliondollarpipes]

Great. Good doin' business with ya, kid.
