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

[The background is the tea house as usual. Today Lion does not look as cheerful as usual, but that can be very easily explained.]

Good afternoon... I apologize for my absence, but I had a few things to take care of. Fortunately, most is solved now.

For those who were not aware, Beatrice is now gone. I hope everyone who found one of her pokémon will take as much good care of them as she used to...

[There is a small pause here. Lion is usually very composed in these kinds of transmissions, but right now something seems to be bothering them pretty hard. Still, no word is said, and a polite smile quickly takes the place of the worried expression.]


In other news, I've been thinking on making a small trip, to see new places. I haven't traveled much, as I've only gotten up to Goldenrod and no further, and I have a few places I would like to see before Halloween arrives.

So, can you tell me what's your favorite place in this world? That place that you could visit over and over again and never get tired of it.

I'd like to hear about that, if any of you have time for it.

[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]

Good afternoon Johto.

[Today you are being greeted by the most awesome image in the world. Well. No, it's just Lion sitting in the inn bed, with a Ditto who actually looks as a ditto for a change, sitting on the pillow.]

In the end we finally arrived to Goldenrod. I apologize for not letting everyone know before as I said I would, but we have been most busy with several circumstances. [Aka seacats dropping like flies.] And then the festivities took most of our attention.

This is quite the large town, it looks as interesting as I was told it did... I come, however, bearing a few small questions.

Are there any tea houses in Goldenrod? If there aren't, Beatrice and I were discussing the probability of opening a small one here. It would give us both something interesting to do while we are here, and it would be a nice enough place for people to meet and have some sweets.

Are there any rules on placing a business in Johto other than the ones that can be learned at the police station or other obvious places? I would be most interested to know, thank you.


[OH, and filtered from Hayate-san. Sorry butler biffle.]

For those who know him, November eleven is Hayate Ayasaki's birthday.
He doesn't seem to be the kind of person who would tell others about it unless asked, so I thought it would be nice to let everyone know so you could congratulate him.

I'm sure he will appreciate the thought.

[And this ends the transmission.]

[OOC: Well, sorry Hayate-san but you should know better than telling Lion that you consider your birthday unimportant. If anyone wants to organize a party, partying partying yeah, then feel free to discuss it on the post.

Replies will come a little slow, but steadily.]

[Hello Ladies. Look at your pokegear, now back to the screen. Sadly, your pokegear isn’t broken, but it could be recording this awesome audio like me. Look at your gear, now back to this one. Your transmission isn’t as awesome as Lion’s accidental audio, but it could if you keep your ears open. What’s that? It’s Lion’s voice. Now hear again, it’s Will’s voice this time.

Everything is awesome when those two are together.

I’m on the Union Cave.]

A little more to the right. [Is this Lion’s voice? Yup. And it’s both quiet and a little uncomfortable.]

Are you telling me how to do this? I’m not a beginner, Watson.

[Along with this, comes the telltale sound of clothes ruffling, which is only amplified by the echo in the cave.]

You could pass for one right now. I may not be an expert but---

[A small sigh, there’s some sort of noise coming from Will’s belt.] Stay calm, I know it’s your first time. Just lean closer to me.

That’s not the problem. I just can’t see a thing and--- [Lion trails off at this point, with a small hiss of pain.] That’s going to leave a mark.

[Will might be... chuckling a bit now.]

Who is the beginner now? [He falls silent for a moment, then there’s more sounds coming from their clothes.] Against the wall. Now.

It wouldn’t be the best idea here, with the rock pokémon around... Just... [There are some Zubat noises, followed by the best long awkward pause to ever awkward.] Are you all right?

Hn. I can keep this all night. [Will said with a calm voice.]

It's not even night... Let’s just go on.

I’ll hold you like the last time, just trust me.

I never said I didn’t trust you. [There is a pause here, broken by the sound of more pokémon in the distance.] I’ll take over. Just give me the pokégear.

[End of transmission.]


[NOTE: SO YEAH. Miyu and Kai are 5 years old. And so this post was born, because when you have a guy who can say the kind of things that Will says with a straight face and little missmister proper-and-polite Lion, you have to make one of these posts.

For short: When they were going to look for Beato, a mob of Zubats ambushed Will and Lion. Will then bashed the Zubats to submission with the flashlight (and his head). Of course that also murdered the flashlight.
Because of that they were using the pokégear as a light source. Sadly neither noticed that it was recording.

Answers will come from Lion and Will, or Lion or Will, or maybe a Zubat trying to eat Lion alive again.


… Will does say the most embarrassing things.]

Good morning!

[Lion looks quite lively even with all the heat and the crazy soulsucking bugs. You want to know why? Just look at the background... Yes! It's Cherrygrove!]

This is my first time seeing Cherrygrove without any snow, and I'm quite excited about it. It's truly a beautiful place! [A quiet chuckle.] Ah but please let me explain.

I decided to accompany Nai on his way to Cherrygrove to meet a friend, and we arrived about an hour ago.
We had a safe trip, even if we got sidetracked from time to time to catch some Shedinja... It's also great to see that everyone is recovering, and I will continue doing my best so that none of those pokémon will be left roaming.


Hopefully everyone is doing better now that things have calmed down. I'll be returning to Violet by tomorrow, so if anyone is interested in joining in the return trip, I wouldn't mind the company.

[And have another smile before Lion takes the pokégear to put some filters xD]


[Everyone but Natsuhi Ushiromiya can see the following!]

Does anyone know where I can obtain a Ralts egg or a Ralts to breed with my Ditto?

I don't mind paying, but it's an important gift, and I would be thankful if anyone could at least point me in the right way.


[Filtered to Beatrice the Second]

Have you woken up, Beatrice...? Are you all right? I've been worried about you...
