[Riley's in his room, holding onto an egg really closely. He's not looking at the camera just yet, but it seems like Lucario turned it on as it's his face that's closest to the screen.

He's still clutching it protectively while Lucario keeps sniffing the camera. Then he notices what Lucario is doing.]

The camera? Turn it off, it's no---

[Riley's expression suddenly changes. The egg in his hands! It's shaking and hatching! The man is utterly transfixed as the egg shell slowly crumbles away and a small brown and green Pokemon emerges. He doesn't move, but holds the Pokemon close to himself.]

It's... it's a Bonsly. N, it's... oh N, I need him...

[He's a little unsure of what to do now but he's still clutching the baby Pokemon very tightly. Lucario on the other hand, is making sure all of this is on camera and clapping in a congratulatory manner. Riley, you're a dad now!]

[WHY... IS THIS MAKING HER HEART HURT... She makes a half-hearted attempt at a smile anyway.]

How cute. Congratulations.

[Bon! Bonsly is smiling and waving at Blacky.]

Thank you, I... wasn't expecting it to hatch so soon.

[Video]

[miss-dreavus.livejournal.com]

What are you going to name it?

[Video]

[auraqualia.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure yet, that's something for N and I to decide.

Do you have any suggestions?

[boxingmidget.livejournal.com]

Heeeeey!

He's a cute lil' guy!

[He waves at him.] Hi, lil' fella!

He looks like a tree!

[auraqualia.livejournal.com]

He does, doesn't he?

[Bonsly is just looking curiously at Mac now, PEOPLE. And waving.]

But he's not a plant, he's just a rock that looks like one.

[boxingmidget.livejournal.com]

...Really?

[Wow.]

That sure is different. He really DOES look like a plant too...

[Heeeee.]

I never saw a hatchin' egg either.

[That was a something.]

[auraqualia.livejournal.com]

Oh? Is this your first time to see a Pokemon hatching?

[Riley's curiosity is piqued now, then he remembers that Pokemon don't exist in Mac's world. Oh.]

[boxingmidget.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. I've seen lil' Pokemon babies but I ain't seen a whole hatchin'. On camera even.

[auraqualia.livejournal.com]

I wasn't expecting it to be on camera, Lucario just turned it on. Perhaps he has a greater sensitivity to these things than I do.

N and I... well, this is our Pokemon now.

[boxingmidget.livejournal.com]

[/)*O*(\]

You guys are raisin' 'im together?

[auraqualia.livejournal.com]

Well, he is our Pokemon after all.

Bonsly, say hello to Mac.

Bon!

[Bonsly sways left and right in response, waving the "leaves" on the top of his head]

[boxingmidget.livejournal.com]

He's just sucha sweet lil' guy, ain't he?

[Heeeee.]

[auraqualia.livejournal.com]

I... I...

[Riley is suffering from New Dad Syndrome. He doesn't know what to say and is completely awed by his new child/pokemon/baby thing.]

[boxingmidget.livejournal.com]

[You look so amazed, Riley, bro. He gets you. Let Mac help you with that.]

Hey, man. You're gonna do great. He's a lil' bundle of joy, so have fun with it. He'll grow up to be a fine guy.

[auraqualia.livejournal.com]

I guess...

What should I name him?

[boxingmidget.livejournal.com]

[Mac's eyes grew wide.]

You want me to name him?

[auraqualia.livejournal.com]

Well I am taking suggestions.

[Riley winks and gives Mac an enigmatic smile.]

[video]

[surpass.livejournal.com]

It hatched?!

... What is that?

[N, Riley just stated that, geez. Maybe he just missed that part. Oh well.

FACE, MEET CAMERA.]

[video]

[auraqualia.livejournal.com]

A Bonsly. Rock Pokemon. I'm guessing they don't have these in Unova...

[Riley's still holding the Bonsly quite close to him but it's waving at N. And it looks very happy to see N.]

I think it recognizes you.

Re: [video]

[surpass.livejournal.com]

Not exactly. I have to say, however...

[His smile grows wide as he waves to the camera.]

... that he is simply the most precious thing I have ever seen.

Re: [video]

[auraqualia.livejournal.com]

[Riley's head is still lost in the clouds and it's showing as he's just looking at the Bonsly and spacing out. Lucario on the other hand, is bashing at the keyboard with its paws.]

asdmnasdmsadpqwamsdm

[Failing that, he claws at the screen. "Come here N, my trainer's acting weird."]

[video -> action]

[surpass.livejournal.com]

[Thankfully, N is more than able to understand Lucario, whether or not he utilizes typing to get his point across. His face shows obvious concern.]

Of course. I will be there as soon as possible. Thank you, Lucario.

[He ends the feed and rushes for Riley's dorm room. Knock knock.]

[action]

[auraqualia.livejournal.com]

[Guess who opens the door? Lucario. Lucario lets N inside and closes the door behind him. "He's been staring at the Bonsly for a while."

Riley on the other hand, is lost somewhere. Really lost.]

Re: [action]

[surpass.livejournal.com]

[what

the



... WELL OKAY THEN N is just going to try to lean over his shoulder and look at them both.]

Riley.

Re: [action]

[auraqualia.livejournal.com]

"I have attempted that. He's using his aura to make a connection with it and he hasn't... snapped out of it."

[Lucario shrugs and watches N attempt to bring Riley back to reality. The Bonsly however, is very happy to see N and happily wriggles in Riley's arms.]

Re: [action]

[surpass.livejournal.com]

Then I would think if the other half of the equation is missing, there is not much more to be done and the connection may be severed...

[Aha. N takes Bonsly from Riley's hands and cradles it gently. He begins to walk opposite of Riley while keeping his eye on him, seeing if he would snap out of it.]

I'm N. It is a pleasure to meet you, Bonsly. Are you enjoying life so far?

Re: [action]

[auraqualia.livejournal.com]

[That snaps Riley back to life as the Bonsly just squirms and squeals. It may also be calling N 'Daddy', ohoho. He turns around and looks at the other trainer who had entered the room.]

N. Hello.

Re: [action]

[surpass.livejournal.com]

Hello.

[He looks down to the Bonsly in his hands, and then looks back up at Riley with a raised brow.]

... I don't think you should read this one if it leaves you in a state like that.

Re: [action]

[auraqualia.livejournal.com]

The miracle of life is always a cause of wonder and awe, regardless of how many times one may have encountered it.

[The Bonsly is still squirming, happy to be with N who is a lot less likely to space out.]

Re: [action]

[surpass.livejournal.com]

Isn't it? Although... I do want you to be able to keep aware.

[He nuzzles his cheek against the Bonsly, almost like what a Zoroark would do for its young.]

Hm. Would you like a name?

Re: [action]

[auraqualia.livejournal.com]

Yes, I should be less prone to losing myself. And perhaps we should, name him...

[You're probably not going to get it out of Bonsly because he's still too excited to actually speak properly.]

I do think he quite likes you.

[Riley takes this moment to put his arm around N's shoulder protectively, oh yes.]

Re: [action]

[surpass.livejournal.com]

I hope he does.

[awbububu who's a cute bonsly, yes you aaaaaaaare

actually no this entire family is pretty uguu not gonna lie]

I wonder if there's a large name directory. I've never named my Pokemon before...

[shysentinel.livejournal.com]

[Gasp! the wonder of birth, captured on camera. And it's so cuuuute~]

oh mah goodness, he's so cute! Whatcha gonna name him?

video

[auraqualia.livejournal.com]

I'm not entirely sure...

[And Riley's face is completely unsure to match. Do you have any suggestions Neph?]
