[After switching on, the video flops about in a haphazard, obviously-Pokemon-directed way. As the cameramon struggles to point the Pokegear in the intended direction, the interior of a room at the Goldenrod inn becomes visible. A television is running in the background, but it's turned down and not clearly audible over the noise of the 'Gear being fumbled with.
Finally it settles on its intended target:
A pair of small, snoozing, fuzzy Pokemon! They're taking up the whole top end of the bed, and seem to have gotten turned around since falling asleep...
The camera lingers on them for a while, as the cameramon coos quietly to herself. Oh god they're so cute so adorable aaaah.
The video shuts off.
It turns back onto a scene from about half an hour later. The Shinx is galumphing around the edges of the bed, jumping and tripping over the rumpled-up covers. The Absol is lying on his back in the center of the Shinx's circular path, exchanging swats with the smaller Pokemon. After running a few rounds, the Shinx jumps on the Absol's face, and the two squawk and yowl as they bat playfully at one another, rolling back and forth and then off the bed completely.
The video shuts off again.]
[Later in the day, Ondorus makes a text post, unaware of earlier antics.]
These questions are for anyone who wishes to answer any portion of them.
- In and around Goldenrod, what sights and attractions would you recommend to someone who is unfamiliar with cities?
- Do you bother keeping track of your birthday in Johto? If you do, and if the year of your world is not of the length of a Johto year, how do you measure out when that and other dates from your world occur?
- Where raising young Pokemon is concerned, does anyone have any wisdom to share that isn't often found in the books on the subject?
- To misters Sion and Ryder: the eggs I purchased from you have hatched safely and healthily, in case the parents wish to be informed. Thank you, again.
((ooc: If you want to reply to the first, earlier entry, you'll just get Pokeshenanigans for a while. Ondorus might come back to those replies later in the evening after he's caught on, if there's anything in them that begs responding to.))

With regards to the young Pokémon, apparently allowing them to wail for any length of time isn't recommended. Some of them also require you to raise their happiness before they evolve. I've found that some of them tend to rather like music; I've gotten two evolutions that way, actually.
...as for my date of birth, the years here run the same as they do back in London, to my knowledge. I keep track of it, though I don't celebrate it. Not since I was a child.

Interesting. That's a popular answer, on both counts. It makes me wonder if this world is more closely related to some worlds than to other. Also whether a large "celebration" for one's birthday is considered customary here, though that question is easily answered.

This world seems rather unlike my own in most ways, outside of the way time passes; needless to say, we don't have sentient metal where I'm from, nor do we have sentient plant life.

Really? Then perhaps the relations between worlds are more complicated than I assumed, because my world is home to such beings. They are very different from Pokemon, but bear many similarities.

I'm aware that some individuals here aren't human, wherever they come from; forgive my curiosity, but is that true in your case as well?
[Given the difference in year length, the sentient...everything and the fact that Descole is from an alternate 1970s and this is therefore a logical conclusion...clearly, aliens are involved here.]

Are you in Goldenrod City at this point, or was that question intended for future reference?

[Distractions, that is. Not babies.]
Perhaps I could meet with you sometime, should you not mind that.
[text]
I wouldn't mind that at all. I work mornings at the Pokemon Center, but I'm at a loose end most afternoons.

We'll have to see what can be arranged, then. My schedule tends to keep me fairly busy, but I can make time.
[IS THIS HOW WE FRIENDS, HE THINKS THIS IS HOW WE FRIENDS? SORTA?]

I do hope so. When you have a time and location planned, just leave me a message; I check the Pokegear every two hours or so.
