isthedeadcat | 17. On Baby Dragons and other irrelevant daily life shenanigans [Video/Action for Goldenrod]

[Well, this is a face that you haven't seen in a while. Of course as usual, everything looks really nice and pretty in Lion's room... It's worth pointing out that there is a very carefully arranged line of varied pokémon eggs, each covered in a blanket, sitting on the bed.

But that's probably what this is all about.]

Good afternoon! Hopefully everyone has been doing well, I apologize for being so out of touch lately, but the final preparations for the opening of the tea house and a few other things have been keeping me quite busy.

[There is a sigh, and a bit of a chuckle as Lion motions at the pokémon eggs.] Unfortunately, I'd say that far too busy.

These are too many children for me to actually give each the attention they deserve, so I'd be most glad if someone could help me by taking some of them, so they can grow with the proper care. The only thing I request is that we please keep in contact so the children can meet their parents if we happen to be in the same city.

There are two Dratini, two Feebas, two Gible, three Swablu and one Bagon egg. They do have quite a few skills passed down from their parents, and their parents are well behaved and hard working pokémon.

Please just let me know if you are interested.

[A sigh, a smile, resignation all over xD]

[OOC: Egg post for this post. There is still one Dratini left, so feel free to ask for it here |D]

I guess!

[She giggles]

So, how much for a Dratini?

It's 3000 P unless you want to negotiate, miss.

I can pay that! My name's Rikku, by the way.

I'm Lion, pleased to meet you.

I'd be glad to have one of my pokémon deliver the egg if you are not in Goldenrod.

I'm on my way there now, actually! Azalea sounds totally useless, so I'm not bothering with it.

There isn't much to see there unless you want to visit the gym for a badge, that much is true.

So yeah. I left Violet on the eighteenth.

I should be able to deliver it to you on the road... Or would you prefer it if I keep the egg until you arrive?

[She thinks for a moment]

I...kinda want it nowish? Eheheh.

That's perfectly fine, which Route are you traveling? I can have one of my pokémon deliver it, it should only take a few hours.

Route 36!

All right, then I'll have the egg delivered right now... I'll have the mother take it to you, so you can meet her if that's fine?

Sure! What's she look like?

She's a huge orange dragon, wearing a blue ribbon around her neck. She will be hard to miss.

Oh, Dratinis are Dragon-types?

[Rikku grins and hugs her Gible close]

Yes, that's correct. They look more like sea-serpents when they are young, but grow to be more like western dragons.

Western dragon?

Oh! I apologize I got carried away.

In my world, the dragons in the eastern legends are more similar to sea-serpents too, with long bodies and short legs, while the dragons in western legends are more compact and with longer legs.

If we had to compare using pokémon, I'd say that eastern ones look like a Gyarados, while the western ones are more like a Dragonite or a Salamence.

I haven't seen either of those, but I will soon, I guess!

I have seen quite a few Gyarados on the network... And a Dragonite you will be seeing soon, delivering your egg, so that should be covered.

Awesome! At least this time I'll know what I'm getting into.

"This time"? That makes it sound quite bad.

[She gestures to her Gible]

He's gonna get huge, and I didn't know that when I got him.

Oh... Yes, it's an issue with Dragon types. Most of them grow truly large as they evolve, and it can be a little surprising.

A Dragonite is usually around two meters tall, and they are quite heavy too. It's really surprising, because their previous evolutions are much lighter.

Can they fly?
