Sixteenth Sacrament: Progression

[11121_assumption]

[ On the network this evening, it's Walter. He's sat on his sofa with some of his Pokemon around him; Reed the Decidueye is perched on the back of the chair and leaning forward because he is far too tall to be seen otherwise. Claudia, his alolan Ninetales, is sat by his legs and Assumption is sat right beside him on the chair. He waves when the gear flips on and Walter sighs softly. ]

My Pokemon have had eggs again. I have a list of the parents involved and what their offspring will be, for those who wish to purchase any. I only ask for 1000P for each egg.

I'm not sure why they've done this.

[ At that muttered aside, Reed coos and presses his forehead to Walter's crown. Assumption jumped up and pulled out a badge case, chattering excitedly. He opened it and showed the contents off to the gear; eight gleaming badges, all from the Johto region. Walter ducked his head bashfully, reaching out and touching Assumption's skull. ]

Urm...thank you. But nobody needed to know about that. [ Assumption just smiled and Claudia leaned on his side. ]

[Why does everyone keep tempting him like this?

Newt can't help but be drawn to the video considering eggs were mention, the young man going over the list before lighting up at the sight of two Pokemon types in particular.

Mimikyu and Eevee.

Two small Pichus are perched on his shoulders when he finally responds, the pair bickering back and forth around Newt's head as he just seems to ignore it for the time being.]

If..well, if it's alright with you and your Pokemon, I would be very interested in the Eevee egg. And a Mimikyu, as well.

[11121_assumption]

[ Thank the Holy Mother. The bickering doesn't go unnoticed, but given he had Reed hovering over him, he was grateful that Newt hadn't asked about the Decidueye leaning over him. ]

Do you wish to see the parents personally?

[findingbeasts]

[Newt smiles that hesitant little smile of his, giving a slight nod as the bickering Pichus notice the 'gear finally and peer at it curiously.]

If that would be alright.

[He likes asking for permission from the parents.]

[11121_assumption]

[ Walter nodded and rose. Assumption and Claudia rose with him, walking either side of him as he stepped outside and called softly to the Pokemon out there. ]

Sentinel, Jennifer. Bea, Bob. Come here.

[ He took the Gear and turned, to show Newt the four who had answered. An Absol, somber and quiet, slinked forward silently and sat down, taking in Newt with sharp eyes. A Flareon trotted over, thick and fluffy. She beamed at Walter...then eyed Newt suspiciously. A Mimikyu toddled over with a shy Phantump floating behind her, looking up at the Gear with a shake of her costume and a cry. Hello! ]

[findingbeasts]

[His expression became less awkward and a bit brighter now that he was addressing Pokemon, Newt lifting his free hand to wave.]

Hello, everyone!

[The two Pichus chittering to one another quickly before they're gazes are back on the 'gear and they both wave, one a little more enthusiastically than the other.]

If you all would be alright with it, I would very much like to take on an egg from each pair of you to raise. [His gaze shifts from one to the other, lingering on Jennifer because of that suspicious look which he answers with a soft smile.] I promise you they will all have the best care among my companions.

[ Bea finds it hilarious that this guy had asked! She giggles and nods, floppy Pikachu head rocking back and forth. She wasn't very maternal - these eggs were friendship babies with her best friend! But she noticed the Pichus and a black claw emerged from her costume, waving to them. Bob also nodded, floating down and hiding a little behind Bea.

Sentinel is equally unfussed. He looks at Newt and assesses him - not a threat. He nods once, glancing at Jennifer. The Flareon is the toughest costumer here. Her flame like tail flicked from side to side as she frowned, trying to get a good look at Newt. ]

Jennifer, he is not interested in me personally. [ That immediately brightens her mood and she wags her tail, looking incredibly adorable and sweet. Clearly she sits well with her and she gives her approval. ]

[findingbeasts]

[The Pichu on Newt's left shoulder--Elladore--twills happily and waves back at Bea. Hello friend! The other Pichu--Gifford--just huffs a bit, not bothering to wave again.

Jennifer is a rather intriguing little thing and her immediate shift in demeanor when she's told Newt isn't interested in Walter himself has the wizard smiling a bit wider.]

Thank you all. I truly do appreciate the opportunity.

[11121_assumption]

What is your name and location?

[ He keeps the camera on the Pokemon for now. Bea is quite happy to chat with Elladore, while Bob stays half behind her. Sentinel slips away unnoticed, while Jennifer clearly walks past the camera to sit right beside Walter. ]

[findingbeasts]

Newt Scamander. I am currently on my way to Saffron City, on Route 6, actually.

[Elladore is absolutely thrilled to chat with the older Pokemon, the little Pichu gesturing with her paws as she tells them all about the things they've seen since hatching. Every now and then her brother will add a bit but for the most part he's content to just be a group.

As he tries to steal one of the buttons off Newt's coat.]
