[The video feed starts up with some audible, muffled snickering as Jimmy turns his Gear around to face himself. It looks like he's crouched on his knees next to a cot in a tent, presumably one of the ones set up for the circus performers in Goldenrod. He's whispering with amusement clear in his tone.]

Guys- guys. Check out Cypress.

[He turns the Gear around to show a fat little Bulbasaur sitting on a pillow on the cot, watching his trainer curiously as he tips his head to one side. For a moment he doesn't do anything but sit there...until he jerks and hiccups. His ears fall back as a low growl starts up in his throat, his eyes shifting from side to side.

Hic. ...grrrrr.

Hic. ...grrrrrRRRR.

After a third time he turns his head and paws a little at the air, the hiccups nearly hitting him with enough force to cause him to tumble over. He is a baby, after all. Basically, there's a lot of this happening (sans barking. maybe) and Jimmy can barely hold back the giggles while he watches.

He doesn't let it go on forever, though, and eventually shifts to sit on the edge of the bed, pulling the still aggressively hiccuping Bulbasaur into his lap.]

You guys know of any good ways to get rid of the hiccups?

[ Well, she'd thought the hiccups had subsided. Then-- ]

Oh!

[ A little laugh, and Naminé nods. ]

Well... it's good they don't last very long. Oh-- I'm Naminé.

Nice to meetcha, Naminé! My name's Jimmy, and you've already met Cypress.

Have you been here long?

It's nice to meet you, too, Jimmy. What other Pokémon do you have?

I've been here for a couple of months. What about you?

Oh, gosh...a lot. I have a lot of fire types, though electric types are my favorite. I started with an Electrike, and he's a Manectric now.

It's been a year for me, since February!

I really have mostly normal types, but... I would love to have a fire type.

Oh! Um, happy late anniversary?

Aw, thanks! What kinda fire types have you been looking at, Naminé?

Well... I think I would really like a Growlithe.

Growlithe are great Pokemon. I've never trained one, but I've got a lot of friends who have them, or have had them before. I think that's a great choice!

They do seem very popular. I've been looking for one... but I haven't found one yet.

Keep an eye out on the network! People are usually breeding pretty often, and Growlithe eggs do come up a lot.

I've noticed there are a lot of eggs available often. Do you breed your Pokémon at all, Jimmy?

Well...I'm not a breeder, but some of mine did have eggs, once. It wasn't...planned.

[He came home to a hotel room filled with eggs, basically.]

But I prolly wouldn't mind breeding again, sometime!

I don't think a lot of eggs are planned. It just happens if they... like each other a lot?

[ That seems to be the case~ ]

I'd like to try it, but I'm not sure I'd be very good at it.

I'd say go for it! Though, some Pokemon can't breed...it all depends on what breeding group they're in. I don't know a whole bunch about how that works myself, though, so you might be better off askin' an actual breeder.

I had no idea...

[ It seems like there's a lot more to breeding than she initially thought! ]

I'm not sure who I would ask.

Could always just ask the Network, if you're not sure! You'd prolly get lots of breeders wanting to talk to you about what they do, if you did.

I think I might. Are there a lot of breeders here?

Tons! You won't have any problem findin' one.

I hope so.

So... [ trying the small talk thing! ] Do you have a favorite Pokémon, Jimmy?

[He nods.]

Electrike! ...which was prolly obvious, but I can't help it. Electrike and Manectric are my favorites, for sure. But Volcarona is a real close second.

What about you?

I've never seen a Volcarona. [ Lookin' through her 'dex--oh! ] It is very cute.

[ Time to bring out the Mini! A Mincinno gets pulled gently into Naminé's lap. ]

Minccino. But most of the normal types I've seen, I like.

Aww! Look how cuuuute~

[Jimmy chuckles.]

Normal types are all really cute, aren't they?

They are. I hope I can meet many more. [ Hugging Mini a bit closer. ] Do you have any normal types, Jimmy?

Sure! The first Pokemon I ever caught was a normal type- a Sentret! She's a Furret now, though.

I've seen a Sentret before, but... never a Furret.
