[ So, today finds Yukio and his Airi who seems to be cuddling an egg. ]

I think Airi's starting to get attached to all the Pokemon eggs we'll ever get. Maybe it's a thing with her line.

[ Suddenly the camera jerks as barking from Yukio's Houndoom can be heard in the distance. ]

Shiva? What's the ma--

[ And there's a sharp cry as he falls back, the Gear being jerked out of his Happiny's hands as it falls to the side. By the corner of the screen, you can probably see a familiar purple catlike pokemon that's been tormenting people this week. ]

It's back. Airi, get back in your Pokeball. We'll take care of it. Shiva, stop! Don--

[ With that, the feed goes dead. ]

Hey, are you ok? [Otacon frowned, as the feed went dead. Was this guy ok? Did he need help?]

video;

[in_praetego]

Y... yeah, I'm okay.

[ He manages to wrangle the Pokegear back into working. The Happiny's evidently gone back into her pokeball and all that stands between him and that... purple cat... is a houndoom. ]

It just kind of surprised me. Something like that was following me around a few months ago. I wasn't expecting to see it back.

[otakon_geek]

Following you? Another Pokémon? [Why had Johto become to weird over the past few days? Pokémon falling from the sky....what next?]

Do these events often happen in Johto? I've not been here that long to really know.

[in_praetego]

At least that's what I vaguely remember... the details are a little fuzzy.

[ Man things were not this weird when he first got here. ]

I can't really say. I've only been here for a year or so. The sudden swarms are new to me too.

[otakon_geek]

You've been here a year and never experienced such a thing? This is a pretty odd even then. I've only been here a few months and I wasn't sure what to expect when the swarm happened.

Are you hoping to catch any of these swarm Pokémon?

[in_praetego]

It is odd. But several months ago, we had a swarm of another kind. I managed to catch the one that got into my room... but they were kind of like these in a sense that we didn't get any information about them for a while. No name, no pokedex entry...

[ A small ruffle of his hair. ]

I'd like to. They might come in handy in the future, who knows?

[heartofmetal]

Are you alright?

[Is that... an Espurr stalker you have there?]

video

[in_praetego]

[ The cam's a little shaky when it comes on though. ]

Y... yeah, I'm fine. We just got a little caught off-guard by this one catching up to us.

video

[heartofmetal]

Has it been following you around for a long time?

video

[in_praetego]

I just kind of vaguely remember something like it following us around...

[ A small frown as he gestures Shiva to back away. ]

I'm thinking of just catching it if it keeps following us like this...

video

[heartofmetal]

That might be a good idea. I mean, if it's that keen on following you, I guess it wants to be with you?

video

[in_praetego]

I suppose so. It kind of puts Shiva on edge though... but I guess I would too if something like that was staring at me.

video

[heartofmetal]

So it's staring mostly at a Pokémon of yours instead of you? I'd say lucky but... it's not any better.

(ooc: and then DW decided I clearly wanted to click add/remove buttons for Yukio's journal, gdit)

video | It happens! I did that to someone else's journal too.

[in_praetego]

Definitely not any better. If it wants to join us so bad, it might actually be in our best interests to bring it along.

video | always as annoying 8< once I even banned someone

[heartofmetal]

Otherwise it might just follow you endlessly if you don't...

video; I think there's a way to disable that mouseover...

[in_praetego]

That's the last thing I want right now, to be honest..

[ There's a sigh as he reaches for a pokeball in his bag. ]

Shiva's getting antsy... I'd better go make sure he doesn't overdo it.

video; that would be handy

[heartofmetal]

I'm sure it'll be fine once... well, it's on your team. Or so I hope.

video; there used to be a way on LJ...

[in_praetego]

Guess we'll have to find out.

[ Have a sheepish little grin for that. ]

I'll talk to you later.

video; time for some investigating

[heartofmetal]

Yeah, later. And good luck.

[pipers_son]

Doin' alright over there? Didn't think they were that aggressive but there's a first time for everythin' I suppose.

[in_praetego]

It just kind of surprised us.

[ He managed to get back on his feet, watching Shiva and the Espurr as it looked like they were sizing each other up. ]

That and... I'm not sure if you heard about their ears?

[pipers_son]

No touchin' allowed?

[in_praetego]

That's what I've heard. I don't want to find out just how true the rumors are.

[ A beat. ]

Not to mention that stare is just... unnerving.

[pipers_son]

Can't blame 'em for that, can ya?

[in_praetego]

No... no, you really can't fault it for what it is.

[ Doesn't make it less unnerving though. ]

Have you heard if anyone knows anything about them yet?

[pipers_son]

Not that I've heard. Seems we've another mystery on our hands!

[in_praetego]

Looks that way.

At least these guys seem less of a handful than the goomies.

[pipers_son]

So far, anyway! Could still be some more surprises for us, just waitin'. I mean, they started fallin' outta the sky, so who knows what sorta things they come with.

[in_praetego]

The fact that there isn't anything on the Pokedex about them is another mystery altogether.

Maybe we'll find out more about them in the future.

[pipers_son]

Well, it happened with our slimy friends, didn't it?

[in_praetego]

And we still don't seem to know too much about them. I guess it's just a matter of time for these ones, too.

[pipers_son]

Don't they say somethin' about patience bein' a virtue?

[in_praetego]

That's good advice all around for a place like this, really.

[pipers_son]

Apparently it's good for life in general but I think it's fine ta be a wee bit impatient now and then~. Have ta keep things excitin'!
