[ The screen comes on to show a Lucario, who is checking that the camera is on. He nods and then sets it down, so it shows Ash lying on the bed of the Violet City inn. For once, isn't his usual upbeat self. He seems...very thoughtful and downbeat. An aura is surrounding him, deep blue and green in colour, which only adds to how solemn Ash appears compared to his usual, sunny self. He says something in Irish to the Lucario, before groaning when he notices the camera is on. ]

Danny, nach bhfuil...Look, I didn't want to make a big deal of it, okay? I'm fine. [ The Lucario shakes it's head and cuffs him. Ash groaned and waved back at him. ]

Fine, fine! We lost a Gym battle. No big deal, it's the first time we tried that shit. [ Danny gave him a look and went to cuff him again. Ash folded his arms, looking up at the ceiling. ]

...and it's St. Paddy's. So I'm a bit homesick. Alright? Cas ar an cheamara as. [ He rolled onto his side, facing away from the screen. Danny sighed and gestured at him, before picking up the camera and shutting it off. ]

Seems like a pretty normal way for it to happen. I've had some other people tell me similar stories. Considering how big Bean's suppose to get, I really hope she doesn't end up on top of me when it happens.

[He doesn't want to die, thank you.]

Six feet tall is what my 'gear said.

[Bean seems delighted with the nickname, a chuffling sort of laugh escaping her as she claps her paws together. Noctis grins, shaking his head.]

I'm never going to be able to call her Bean again. It's going to be Queen Bean or nothing now.

Six feet? Shit, I mean. Yeah, you gotta call her the queen if she gets that big! Give the girl a crown too!

[ He drops his voice to a conspiral whisper, grinning playfully ] Hey, if we get in her good books now, she won't sit on us when she is that big! Although... [ He looks over at Danny ] It's not a guarantee.

I'm not getting her--

[He's cut off by a rumble from Bean who manages to get a pawful of his hair and tug on it. The prince mock frowns a bit, side eyeing her then giving Ash a dry look.]

See what you've done?

[Bean chirps merrily, letting his hair go to snuggle on his shoulder again.]

Oh I'll make sure she sits on you guys now, just for this.

[ Ash laughed. Oh, he likes Bean and her trainer! ]

She won't sit on me if I give her a crown though! [ GET WRECKED SON. But Danny paps Ash's face to get his attention and points at his head. He wants a crown too! Ash couldn't help laughing again. ]

Okay, you get a crown too! Bean gets a crown! Everybody gets a crown! [ INCLUDING YOU! YOU GET A CROWN ]

[SO RUDE.]

You can't bribe my Pokemon!

[He's amused all the same, though, and he can't help but snicker as Danny demands a crown as well.]

Looks like we're all going to be royalty. [BETTER THAN BEES AT LEAST.]

Nah. You and me are the attendants to these two. [ Ash grinned. Danny sat up all proper-like at that, clearly putting on airs and giving a 'regal wave' to Bean, the little 'cirlce your hand at the wrist' gesture. ]

"Queen Bean and King Danny! Together we shall rule over Johto with fairness and diginity. And offerings of snacks." [ The Lucario decreed with a grand air, before giving a surprised 'boof!' as Ash finally rose up, grabbing Danny into a hug ]

Okay, good point. How can we compete with them?

[He definitely didn't mind. Someone else could be royalty; he wasn't going to complain about it.

Bean let out a chuffling sort of laugh at Danny's announcement, clapping her paws again as Noctis let out an amused snort.]

The best rulers Johto could ask for if you ask me.
