[When the feed turns on, the first thing that is noticeable are the many eggs surrounding the young woman sitting on the bed with a timid smile on her face; there's twelve in total, which isn't a lot for other breeders but it's certainly a surprising number for her. In the girl's lap is a grey catlike creature who's mewling faintly, as if she's in pain, weakly nudging her head against her trainer's touch. It's likely that one of Juniper's Pokémon is holding her Gear for her, since...both of her hands are occupied tending to the Espurr.]

U-Um, hello, everyone... First things first, I...have eggs; one of them is going to a friend, but the others are available for anyone who may want them. They're Eevee, Growlithe, Petilil, and Sunkern, and I'll attach a list with their egg moves to this post. I-I don't really want anything in return, so I'm giving them away to anyone who can promise to give them a good home...

I...tried breeding some of the new Pokémon we received last month, too, but...it didn't really seem to be a success. I'm not sure if I just did something wrong, or...if it has something to do with the quakes that's been going on as of late. Has anyone else noticed anything strange regarding them? I know Catnip doesn't really seem to like them much...she gets very distressed whenever it happens, and I usually have to try and calm her down afterwards.

[Which is why she's currently petting the Espurr in her lap; the quakes from earlier today really...took their toll on her, and though she's a lot calmer than she was before, it's evident from the expression on her face that she's still a bit frazzled.]

But, yes...if anyone would like an egg, I'd be more than happy to give you one. I-I'm afraid it's first come, first served...but if I happen to run out and you'd really like one, then I'll keep you in mind the next time that I breed something. And if any other breeders have any suggestions or tips for breeding, especially regarding egg moves, please feel free to share...I'm always seeking to improve.

[...]

...A bit of an unrelated question, but what do you all usually evolve your Eevee into? I've had Wright for a couple of months now, but I haven't yet decided on what to evolve him into. I'll probably be heading to the department store soon to purchase some evolutionary stones for some of my other Pokémon, and I'd like to get them all at the same time rather than having to do another trip...therefore, suggestions would really be appreciated.

[And just as she promised, attached is the list regarding the Pokémon and their egg moves. Come and get them, folks.]

Woooah, that's a lot of eggs! Sounds like you're doing a pretty good job with your breeding, Juniper! Could you tell me a little more about Sunkern? I'm kinda curious...I've read about it in the Pokedex and it seems like a pretty happy little Pokemon, but I've never raised a fully grass type Pokemon before...not counting Spore, a'course.

[Or his Skiddo, Summer, who is just as much of an enigma to him as the rest of the new Pokemon he has.]

I've had my Eevee, Solstice, almost since I got here...she's still only, like, level 8 or something because I really can't decide what to evolve her into! And she doesn't seem to know what she wants to be either...so I'm not pushing her or anything.

Heehee, thank you, Jimmy. And, mm...you're right about it being a happy Pokémon, but you'll have to be careful with it. It doesn't have the...ah, how should I put it...? Well, it's pretty fragile physically.

[Just like her. That's why she and her starter were a match made in heaven.]

Sunkern doesn't really move around a lot to preserve its nutrients, so make sure you don't overexert it. It doesn't eat, either, and only drinks morning dew from plants. That's all it needs to survive, really. ...Ah, and you evolve it with a Sun Stone! I think its evolution is called Sunflora, but I don't know too much about it, seeing that I haven't evolved Apollo yet. I'll be sure to let you know once I do!

And that makes sense...I'm sure she'll evolve when she's ready to. ...I'm not quite sure if Wright is ready to evolve either, to be quite honest...but I was just looking for ideas just in case. I'm not too particularly concerned about evolving him, though; I'm more than happy to wait for him to evolve on his own time.

["one of them is going to a friend"

Juniper please

But no, Nagi has absolutely nothing to do with that so there's really no reason to even say anything, is there? Nooooope.

...That being said, he can't resist responding since this is something he's actually been thinking about a lot lately.]

Are you interested in battling at all? You should evolve your Eevee into a form that would help give your team balance, if that's the case.

[suncrushed]

[She could have said "one of them is going to a friend who screwed up the first Eevee I gave him" but thankfully, this is Juniper. She's a nice person.

Anyway.]

I personally haven't considered battling. I haven't really given it a try other than battling the wild Pokémon nearby to train my team and help them get more moves for breeding, but...I suppose I could give it a shot.

[peach_boy]

So you're someone that breeds Pokémon? That's so cool! I bet you have a lot of them!

[suncrushed]

[She can't help but feel flattered at that compliment.]

E-Ehehe...I don't really have a lot yet. I have about twenty-one last time I counted, but I'm always looking for new ones.

[Video] I lied you're getting them all

[codeforhope]

Mmm...I haven't actually tried breeding these new Pokemon yet myself. My Abra has been feeling unwell herself, so I'm a bit concerned...I hope it passes soon.

[His Espurr hasn't been feeling so hot either, and neither has Donut. And Donut isn't allowed to feel bad. :c]

I evolved Henko into a Flareon, but she also seemed to prefer that evolution over the possible others.

[Video] g o o d

[suncrushed]

Oh dear...that's terrible. I hope she feels well soon...

[She feels your pain, Chihiro. She feels your pain.]

Ah, I see...so I should just let him choose what he wants to evolve into?

[Should she just buy all the stones then? That sounds like a good idea.]

[occultigen]

[Well, here's a pretty girl peering into the video with a curious expression on her face; she's still somewhat getting used to the customs that go along with this sort of communication, but it seems that people just sort of...start right in with talking, so that's what she'll do as well.]

Eevee...is that the one that might grow up to become many different things, depending on how it's raised and treated?

[She's...sort of got the idea of it, at least.]

video;

[suncrushed]

Yes, that's correct! Would you like one?

[Video]

[killer_sweets]

You should ask your Eevee what it wants to evolve into if you can't decide. [He shrugs.] More often then not it comes down to a pokemon's preference.

[Video]

[suncrushed]

I see...I hadn't even considered speaking with him about that.

[Video]

[wing_attack]

[... Oh. Eevee have different forms. That's kind of... familiar. He flicks on the video to talk to her.]

If you've got an extra Eevee... I'd really like one. And if your Eevee doesn't seem to have a preference, maybe one that would balance out your team? Or a type that you work with well.

[Video]

[suncrushed]

Of course, I'll put you down and send it to you sometime later.

[She pauses for a moment, humming thoughtfully.]

Mm...I work well with grass-types, so perhaps a Leafeon? I'll see if he'd be interested in evolving into that; if not, I'll see what he chooses...

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[Veronica's screen was dark, barely illuminating her scarred face. She appears to be in a cave of some sort, judging from what little background that can be made out.]

Ah... You've been making more eggs then? You look like you've been busy. [So does she, considering how roughed up she looks.] I haven't heard of a Sunkern. What are those?

And, I haven't evolved Kawa yet, but I'm not sure if she wants to evolve. She's not really the battling type, and she's still pretty young.

[suncrushed]

[The fact that it's dark on-screen is enough to let Juniper know that she's going through a cave. In fact, she has a pretty good idea what cave Veronica's going through, considering when she last spoke with the girl, she was in Violet City. She remembers going through that cave; it was the Worst experience of her life.]

Mhm...I have been. [Thanks, Nagi.] A friend asked me if I could do them a favour, so...I figured I would try experimenting with another pair while I was at it. It was my first time experimenting with this pair before, but...it worked out pretty well, I think. A Sunkern is - ah, hold on for a moment...

[She reaches off-screen to retrieve her Sunkern, being careful not to move him too much as she placed him on her other leg.]

Here is what a Sunkern looks like. I'd definitely recommend them, but...you have to be careful with them. They're pretty delicate, so they're not really capable of battling a lot...I had some difficulty training Apollo, so it took a long while to get him to where he is today. That's why I'm going to evolve him soon... Speaking of which, you can evolve them with a Sun Stone into Sunflora.

And I see...mm, a lot of people said that you should evolve your Eevee into another evolution whenever they're ready and to see what they would prefer to evolve into, too. Maybe she'll tell you when she's ready...? I'm going to discuss it with Wright sometime later.

I doubt their lack of breeding and the earthquakes are related; my Ditto has been trying to charm one of the Goomies since February, and it's not yet had any success.

[Not that he minds. In fact, every egg-free day makes him want to celebrate.]

Edges and I both decided that he would evolve into an Umbreon, due to his namesake and our affinities. Have you asked your Eevee about his personal preference?

[video]

[suncrushed]

...Goomies?

[She unfortunately wasn't here for that event, so she has no idea what he's talking about.]

Mm...I haven't yet. Everyone's been suggesting speaking with him to settle on an evolution, so I think I might when I get a chance.

[video]

[fatalissimo]

Hey there, Sunbeam - long time, no see.

[She doesn't sound too bothered by it, though, and for the most part it sounds genuine enough; good to see you, man.]

I've had an Eevee for a while now, but I still don't know what I want to evolve him into, either; it's something you have to think about for a while, you know? There's not much going back afterwards. I'm not really keen on the idea of letting him choose what he'd want - he'd probably want to stay small and cute forever, if I left it up to him - but I think some people do it that way.

[video]

[suncrushed]

[She is so, so sorry, Nonon...but she's really glad to see you, too.]

Yeah, that's what most people suggested - letting the Eevee choose - but I also see your point. I haven't yet decided on what to do, even with everyone's suggestions, but...I'm not particularly in a rush. I think I'll give it some more thought... Ah, but how have you been? Are you still in Violet?

[sincereheart]

[ A very excited little girl is staring at the camera, wide-eyed. ]

Miss! Miss! Miss, can I have a Petilil? Oh, they look adorable! I promise I'll take really really really good care of it!

And yeah! My cat has been having some problems with the earthquakes too! I think they've been making her head hurt! [ She glances worriedly at Chira, her Espurr, who gives a weak smile in return. ] Do you think it's a cat thing?

[suncrushed]

[Oh, that's adorable; she can't help but smile a bit at the girl's excitement.]

Heehee, sure you can! I'll send it to you later today.

Mm...it's possible. I mean, it hasn't been bothering any of my other Pokémon. They, at the most, seem a little rattled by the sudden quakes, as am I, but they don't seem to suffer from the same extent as my cat does. I can't particularly imagine why it would solely be a cat thing, though...

[Then again, she's never owned a cat until now, so she really has no idea.]

[struck_out]

Yo Juniper-san! That's a whole lotta eggs you have there. Mind if I get one from ya?

Audio

[suncrushed]

Oh, of course, Leon! Which one were you wanting?

[islandshore]

Hmm... Not sure if it has to do with the quakes, but they might still be dealing with some culture shock. They're in a new region with new Pokémon. It's kind of a lot to take in, especially with the quakes.

[Still, his tone is a bit uneasy as well. Due to his involvement in Nightmare Castle last year, he's suffering the same kind of discomfort.]

Anyway, as far as Eevees go, you can't go wrong with Vaporeon. They're probably the most durable form next to Umbreon, and they can still pack a pretty mean punch in their own right. They'd just lose the fur in place of smooth, aquatic skin.

[suncrushed]

Culture shock would make sense, if that's the case; I couldn't imagine being eager to breed either if I were suddenly whisked away to a new place without warning...

[That...probably sounded strange, given the fact she's human, but she's sure he understands what she meant.]

Vaporeon, hmm? From what you're saying, that does sound very efficient, and I don't have a lot of water-types either... I'll definitely keep it in mind, though. Thank you for the suggestion, Riku.
