[There's the face of a Magcargo showing up on the Network this morning, steam rolling slowly off of its body as it leans in close to the Gear. The screen very abruptly begins to fog up before the device is jerked away by someone unseen. As the camera pulls out, it's easier to see that the Magcargo looks a bit....odd, to say the least. What's more, there are some eggs piled in various places on a blanket spread nearby with some of Jimmy's Pokemon lying with them- a Furfrou, Delphox, and Talonflame respectively, along with a second Magcargo that looks a lot more like what you'd expect one to look like.

After a moment Jimmy gets the Gear turned around to face himself with the first Magcargo still in the background, curiously oozing around the area and getting chided in Pokemon-speak when it wanders too close to the eggs.]

Morning everybody! So I decided that I wanted to try breeding some eggs for real, even though I'm not a breeder or anything. It really wasn't too hard! Once everybody cooperated, anyway.

[There's a yowl from off-screen that could only be described as coming from a disgruntled Floatzel before Jimmy continues.]

Anyways, there's not a whole ton, but I'd really like to get these eggs sent to good homes! I've got a list of what I have, so if you'd like to buy one lemme know! I'm at the circus tent here in Goldenrod, so if anybody's in the area and wants to pick one up in person, that's fine too!

[He ends the video after that, mostly because the Dittocargo is starting to wander again, and he knows he'd be in big trouble if he let the circus tent get caught on fire.]

[Action for Molly Walker]

[Once the post has been made, Jimmy puts his Gear away for the time being and rounds up Bubblegum, who's still morphed as Toast and having a grand old time of it. Then, once he's rounded up a few other Pokemon from his team, he bends down to pick up two eggs and carefully place them in his bag.

Wherever Molly is, she might hear Jimmy calling for her, looking around to try and see if he can spot her among the hustle and bustle of Pokemon in the tent. Bubblegum still follows him, along with a Jolteon trotting at his other side and a Helioptile perched on his shoulder.]

Molly! Where are you? I got something for you!

[OOC: OOC Egg post is Here! There are still some eggs available!]

<sub>[Hustle and bustle is putting it mildly, but Molly's been fairly quick to find her way around it all the same. Today she's got both her Growlithe with her and is trying to teach them all the usual dog commands - sit and lie down and shake - which Blaze know better than Ember, but she'd like them both to perfect.]

[But when she hears Jimmy calling for her she's pretty quick to abort the lesson (which might be one of the reasons they still haven't gotten too far).]

[She skips right over to him, her two happy tiger dogs hot on her heels, all excitedly and snuffly.]</sub>

What? I'm right here!

_{[She grins, all cheek. Her unease from the nightmares is pretty much faded and she stands on her toes when she looks him over.]}

[action]

[awesmazings]

There you are!

[He grins back, crouching down to one knee once she's made it over to him so he can set the bag down on the ground. Solstice the Jolteon takes a seat neatly at his one side while Bubblegum sortof just oozes over haphazardly, gurgling all the while. And Sparky can't seem to sit still, trying to lean over Jimmy's shoulder to get a better look at Molly's Growlithe.]

I've got a surprise for you!

[Jimmy says, reaching into one of the bag's side pockets to pull out an Oran berry. Then he pauses, snickering as he closes one hand around it.]

...s'not a berry though, I promise.

[Then, he puts his hands behind his back.]

I'll give it to you if you can guess which hand the berry's in.

[action]

[walkersystem]

<sub>[Not having spent a lot of time around Magcargos, Molly's not catching onto the way this one's oozing just a biit too much just yet, but her attention is mostly focused on Jimmy anyway.]

[Because !!! A surprise! That's great, she loves surprises, and when she recognises the game he apparently chooses to play she starts laughing.]</sub>

Haha, fine! Okay, umm ... That one.

<sub>[She points to his right hand, looking both curious and eager.]

[Ember, meanwhile, timidly sniffs at the Jolteon's nose, while Blaze sits back a little more watching the pair.]</sub>

[action]

[awesmazings]

[Solstice leans her head over just a little, ears perking as the little one sniffs at her. She's content to just let him explore her first, in the interest of not scaring him away.

Meanwhile, Jimmy looks up at the corner of the ceiling, making a face like she picked incorrectly as he brings his right hand around. But he can't hold it for very long as he reveals the blue berry in the palm of his hand.]

Haha, look at that! Looks like you get your surprise after all!

[Though he would've given them to her had she picked incorrectly, honestly.]

Can you guess what it is?

[VIDEO]

[conquersworlds]

Well - while I'm not sure what I should expect from an advertisement like that, you can consider me curious as to what you've got, if nothing else!

[He actually doesn't sound too criticizing, though; seems you caught him in an amiable mood, Jimmy, four for you.]

[VIDEO]

[awesmazings]

[He might not be a breeder, but some of the things he has actually are worth a look. ...some more than others, depending on what stupid thing Jinnai might be in the market for today.]

Oh, I've got lots of things! Hang on, I'll send you the list, along with the moves they'll know and everything.

[And so he does a moment later.]

[conquersworlds]

[Oh, come now, surely he's not in the market for stupid, it's...

...okay, it's probably stupid.

Either way, Larvesta seems...interesting in its own right, though he's also fully aware that what he's got team-wise is going to be really prone to Dying A Lot if he doesn't watch it with the types - let's see what...else...

Um.]

Aren't Sentret those weasel-type things?

[awesmazings]

[Jimmy nods, moving to take a seat on the blanket near his Pokemon while he answers.]

Yep! You can usually find them on Route 29! They're really cool Pokemon, and evolve into something even cooler.

[silentscales]

Do you have any snakes... asks Zola.

[awesmazings]

Aw, no snakes! Buuut...I do have a lizard!

[silentscales]

[Snake looks curiously at Jimmy.]

[awesmazings]

Hang on. C'mere Sparky!

[Jimmy calls offscreen, and after a moment a Helioptile scurries up onto his shoulder, peering curiously into the Gear's screen.]

[angerpoints]

... geez, what happened, did your slug thing get hit in the face by a two-by-four or something?

[WHY IS IT SO WEIRD-LOOKING...]

video;

[awesmazings]

[It takes Jimmy a moment to figure out what Yusuke is talking about, but once it clicks he laughs, gesturing to the two Magcargo behind him.]

Oh, no! See that one? That one's my ditto, Bubblegum!

[He says, as it...makes some fabulous gurgling noises over there, making the real Magcargo stare a bit.]

video;

[angerpoints]

[The real Magcargo isn't the only one staring. Yusuke's brow knits as he peers closely at the fake one. That's a Ditto...?]

Wait a sec. Isn't Ditto supposed to be a pink blob?

video;

[awesmazings]

They are, usually! But they can transform into other Pokemon and use all of their moves and everything!

[Jimmy turns away from his Gear for a moment, crouching slightly with his hand on one knee so he can talk to the fake Magcargo.]

Hey Bubblegum, change back to normal for a sec!

[The Pokemon looks up, beady eyes blinking slowly before its body begins to shift and seems to abruptly turn into the aforementioned pink goo, shrinking until there's nothing left but a blob on the ground with a smiling face.]

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

[That firebird is really cool looking.]

Wow... that's a really cool bird!

[Video]

[awesmazings]

Isn't she neat? This is Cinder. She's a Talonflame.

[Jimmy smiles, reaching out to gently pet the top of the raptor's head. She trills softly in response, nipping affectionately at his fingers while she nests with her eggs.]

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

So Cinder is a fire-type? She looks really strong.

[A Talonflame looks like it would be a very useful Pokémon to have.]

[VIDEO]

[adai]

Hello, Jimmy. You have some very interesting Pokémon.

[Rossiu looks pretty amused, which is much better than the stoic expression he usually wears.]

I'm interested in learning more about one Pokémon you've listed - Larvesta. I couldn't find any information on it; could you tell me more about it?

[He'd probably have an easier time finding information if he was better at reading, but these things take time.]

[VIDEO]

[awesmazings]

Oh, thank you Rossiu! I can tell you a lot about Larvesta, since it was one of the first Pokemon I hatched from an egg here!

They're really neat cause they're two types- Bug and Fire. You'd think they wouldn't be, since those two types don't really seem to go together at all. They grow differently than other Pokemon, too! They learn new moves kinda slowly and they don't evolve until almost past level 60, but they're super tough once they do.

Also, Volcarona's prolly one of the best Pokemon you could travel on, in my opinion. You can fly on them and sine they're a fire type they'll keep you warm in the winter time!

[adai]

[He listens to all that intently, nodding every so often.]

That sounds like it might be difficult to raise, but I'm sure the payoff is worth it. A Bug- and Fire-type is definitely an interesting combination. I'll take that one, then! Thank you for the advice too - I'll be sure to keep all that in mind!

[video]

[cookiecats]

W-Wait, wait, Pokemon come from eggs?

[ARE THEY ALL BIRDS? LIZARDS? LIZARD PEOPLE? Steven is confused.]

[video]

[awesmazings]

Yup, all of them do!

[It's...really weird, Steven.]

[video]

[cookiecats]

That doesn't make any sense! [HE'S SO CONFUSED.

...but seems to get over it quickly.]

How can you tell what kinds of Pokemon are in the eggs?
