Never giving up on the chance of a Miracle...

Well, things look quite shaken up today... Hopefully everyone is fine?

[Unlike other people, who are panicking, or running around, or following legendary pokémon, or fighting with superpowers, Lion is right here at the tea house. Preparing tea. A Lucario (that's Alyssa) seems to be helping out with the preparations.

Lion smiles a bit at the pokégear, while brewing some tea.]

With so many people arriving, I thought that maybe treating everyone to some tea would be a good welcome.

So if anyone is in Goldenrod, feel free to come by to have some free tea and cupcakes. The teahouse is called "The Steaming Teapot" and it's close to the Pokémon Center.

[This is Lion, ladies and gentlemen. Living a normal life, and of course making business, on Fourth Wall weekend xD]

OOC NOTE: Well, here we go. Anyone can come for free tea and food. Because that's how Lion rolls during fourth wall. And all the time. Anyone who is living in the teahouse (Beato, Maria and Will) may feel free to threadjack, just ask the thread owner? xD

[The feed opens to show some trees, a cave in the back, and Lion, who seems to be on the road once more.]

Good morning everyone. Hopefully everyone is also having a good day today.

Right now I'm back on Route 31, I'm going back a little to meet with someone from my world, but I should be back in Violet in a few days. [Lion did leave letters for Will and the most moe of the Beatos (and there is also a brb letter for Maria which I forgot but Lion wouldn't have), but well, letters are not the best communication method ever so have an extra message guys xD]

We decided to stop a bit, so that Seth could take a rest, he has been working very hard so we can get to our destination as fast as possible. [The pokégear now moves to show a Houndoom, having the best nap in the land of ever (with running in dreams and all the works!). It then moves to show the road.]
This is a nice place to see, now that there are no bug swarms all over; hopefully it will be a nice calm trip, unlike the last one. [Ooooh, you just jinxed it, Lion xD]


I also have a question.

I have been thinking of challenging some of the gyms. The rewards seem good enough, and I'm sure that the skills that can be obtained there would be a good addition to my plans for breeding pokémon.
Do you know which gyms have the most interesting rewards? Both learning and material rewards are good enough, I was just curious to know the opinions of others.


A bit of conversation would also be appreciated, it's been a while since I last was alone on the road.

[See newborn pokémon.
See newborn pokémon run around the room.
Run, newborn pokémon, run.]

Good afternoon Johto!

[Lion is currently sitting on the bed, besides a blanket nest with two identical eggs. Julia, the Hoothoot is still perched on the bedpost, with only one eye open, while a tiny Charmander and a tiny Skarmory are chasing each other all over the room.]

After some waiting, two of the babies have been born. They are quite the active pair, they have been playing for about two hours and it seems they don't have plans on stopping.

The third one appears to be taking his time, however.

Does anyone have any wisdom regarding the raising of newborn pokémon other than the obvious need of love, discipline and attention? I'd like to hear everyone's output on this.

[And it's then that tiny Skarmory starts flying, tiny Charmander falls down while trying to catch him and the transmission cuts when Lion quickly drops the pokégear to go pick the baby up.]
