[It's raining, it's pouring. This really put a dent in the Idol Caravan's traveling plans, but Ryo's making the most of it. Shit happens, after all. Even if it does make some things more... difficult. So the feed opens to the novice idol sitting in a tent, spreading some mayonnaise on a slice of bread. In the background are a Ralts and a Rattata happily muching on some diagonally cut sandwiches that seem to contain some whipped cream and Oran berries. It seems that the PokeGear has been set on the ground, so that Ryo's "cooking" duty can continue during the broadcast.

Ryo lets out a small sigh.]

I feel bad that I can't make a nicer meal for everyone... but I suppose there's no helping it with this kind of weather. Haruka-san and everyone, I'm sorry.

[After glancing back at the Pokemon stuffing their faces, Ryo turns to look at the camera again with a smile.]

The berry sandwiches I made seem to be a hit, though~ I'm glad.

Anyway, I'd like to ask about these Pokemon Gyms, since I'm thinking of challenging them once I'm strong enough. How should I prepare? And how do I know when I'm ready?

[Ryo glances to the side, mumbling in a barely audible and lower pitched voice---]

Then again, I really wonder if this is the answer to my---

[Suddenly, that train of thought is interrupted when the Ralts and Rattata begin to fight over the last sandwich. Ryo quickly drops the unprepared sandwich in hand and picks up the PokeGear to turn it off, since trying to diffuse this situation is probably not something people should see.]

RITSU, NEZU, NO----!

[The camera's view rapidly flies from one crazy angle to another, with a loud "GYAOOOOOOOON!" ringing through the tent before the feed shuts off.]

Oh, I can't possibly just ask money from anyone... Plus, I think it's more meaningful if it's something I've earned through my own efforts.

[HE HAS HONOR.]

Though I think it'd be good to know where the breeding center is... Am I right to assume it works like an adoption center or something?

Heeeh... That's really admirable of you, Akizuki-san. Some people wouldn't think twice about that kind of offer and just take it without question...

*HE IS IMPRESSED AT THIS HONOR.*

It's in Goldenrod, and... well, you can call them and place an order for an egg pretty much anytime! You just have to be in a place they can have it delivered. There are some Pokemon that are flat out up for adoption though, I think... I haven't done much business with them since they hit it big.

I think I should be concerned that you know people who are like that, Ayasaki-san...

[Oh well, the world must be... a really big scary place...]

Anyway, Pokemon come from eggs? Am I... supposed to sit on it or something? [Sounds pretty high maintenance...]

Aha... I kind of grew up with people like that, so it's not that big of a concern!

*MOVING RIGHT ALONG...*

Well... You could sit on one for a while if you really wanted to fill out a motherly role outside of raising a child, I suppose. *sorry ryo...*

[That makes Ryo even more concerned, but sure, he'll drop it. For now, anyway.]

Ehhhh? It has nothing to do with wanting to be motherly, really! It's just... how is it supposed to hatch?

Well... After you spend a certain amount of time keeping it with you, it just kind of... hatches! It's almost like they're on a timer or something. Only you have no way to see it or any idea when it'll go off.

Oh, so I don't have to sit on it after all... Thank goodness. If I had to do that, it's probably better if I just catch one.

Then again, seeing how rowdy it is in my group, maybe it isn't such a good idea to get an egg... It might break in the midst of chaos.

Ahaha... I think if we actually had to sit on our eggs to make them hatch, a fairly large precentage of trainers would wind up never hatching their eggs.

Still, ah... In my experience they're actually quite difficult to break! I know one or two people who have dropped them and they came out okay... They're definitely not invincible though.
